Well, the FORTH try seemed to work. But not without some "adjusting" during the
install. And after too. The latter was because of my harware setup. It seems
that if you are using a seperate HD as your /home/ and even though it is
already
mounted as such. The correct ownership and permissions are not set properly for
a
user to login. At least not via the Desktop GUI interface. But if one drops out
of the Unity GUI interface down to the trusty command login prompt and logs in.
One can then use the chown command (As sudo) to take ownership and permissions
back. Then after a reboot one can then login via the desktop GUI interface.

Now to get BBBS loading correctly again.
