can not launch any window manager after system crash

[Jeremy C. Reed]

On a Debian system, you can compare your checksums of your packge 
components to see if something is corrupted.

I haven't tried lately, but something like:

  cd / ; cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/*md5sums | md5sum -c

or:

  cd /
  for m in /var/lib/dpkg/info/*md5sums ; do md5sum -c $m ; done

Maybe that will show you files (or packages) that are corrupted...
