[SOLVED] Error - Black arrow on black screen

[elodman]

Startx
Made every thing come back desktop icons background tool bar .. then did an system update then shut down.

Code:

startx

works nicely, so I did all these with Root (install updates, shutdown) but still have the lonely mouse pointer case, luckily not with simple users.

Maybe after installing any updates one should asap shutdown with root, or should one omit using root for this - and all other - purpose(s)?
