Can you can use the run dialog to execute gksudo apt-get install ubuntu-dekstop?

Just run apt-get update which did some stuff. No improvement.

Libatk-adaptor-schemas 2.4.0-1ubuntu2 seems to be causing the problem now.

Any ideas?

Sorry if this is a silly question, but after you ran apt-get update did you also run apt-get upgrade?

How about just installing the ubuntu-desktop package?

I ran into some issues myself updating from Xubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 that may have been related to metapackages, but I was eventually able to push through the trouble with apt-get over ssh. Wish I could say for sure that is the same kind of issue you're running into, but it may not be related.

How did you lose your xubuntu-desktop metapackage? Did you uninstall some default programs and not catch it getting removed?

Not sure how it happened, except that X started crashing after apt-get dist upgrade and reboot. Even though I use this as a headless personal server, I've got a desktop distro installed because tell myself I need a graphical environment to remote into as a fallback(training wheels, by any other name).

Pretty sure I didn't uninstall any default software.

In the end, there are some still some screwy things going on with the server (some feel like permissions, but Samba performance took a nosedive as well) so I will flatten and reinstall once I get the time. Disappointing, but not too surprising from a desktop *buntu being upgraded, in my limited experience.

I keep meaning to check out Pinta, but I haven't had the chance to yet.

There is also Paint-Mono - maybe not ready for prime time yet though?
