Until now. I did a portupgrade this morning and afterwards, when I logged in as a user into Gnome, my desktop was missing most of the programs (Accessories, System Tools, etc.). I rebooted the machine and "that other" terminal screen came up (Single User?) and I was prompted to "run fsck manually" so I did so. Well, fsck gave up on me. I have no idea what happened or why. Can anyone help me understand what is going on with my machine and any possible actions I can take to resolve this?
