Sounds like config files are not being written correctly. I would look |
| 15 |
at all of the ".*" folders in your home directory and see if they are |
| 16 |
all writable by you. This was likely caused by you trying out startx |
| 17 |
while in a root non-login terminal, which used "su" to get into. I did |
| 18 |
this once with firefox, and it caused it to fail silently when I tried |
| 19 |
to start it. |

I would check out "groups <username>" and see whether you are a member |
| 27 |
of the plugdev group. |
