Okay, so I followed the directions in this thread and now, after rebooting, I find that there are no icons or background in the desktop and nothing will run except urxvt. I followed the instructions on the first page of that thread to the letter, except for having to SFconvert the devx_301.sfs to version 4.
How can I fix this?
Icons gone, background gone, nothing but terminal will run

Nexus have you tried typing xorgwizard at the prompt?

I don't think the problem is the driver. It worked just fine for weeks before I installed gcc today.
I tried "e2fsck savefile", but I got the error
I assume I'm supposed to replace "savefile" with the name of my actual save file, but I don't know where that is stored.
I tried "e2fsck savefile", but I got the error
Code: Select all
e2fsck: No such file or directory while trying to open savefile
Possibly non-existent device
So, going by that other thread you have a FULL install right?
Often problems can be fixed in full installs by reinstalling but DO NOT wipe!
And doing an fsck on the partition before you do that is a good idea.
Good Luck

Yeah, it's a full install.
If it helps any, I tried to figure out why things aren't running by calling them from the terminal. These are the kinds of errors I get:
