About a week and a half back, I accepted the latest updates to 16.04
LTS and let update-manager restart the box.
After it came back, I logged in with no problems. Unfortunately, now
the root map doesn't respond to right-clicks -- no menu to give me
access to xterms.
I know that it's not a mouse problem, since I can call up Firefox and
click left, right, and center there.
Fortunately, I have other boxes. But, I'd still like to fix whatever
happened to this one. It has me rather skittish about updates.
Suggestions on how to start? Obviously, I can't even do a tail on
/var/log/syslog, which would be my normal starting point.
Thanks,
