Thanks for the reply. I already managed to fix my problem. The reason why I reinstalled my OS last week is cause I installed Fink Package Manager. During setup it asks you a few questions, and instead of using defaults. I made a build directory at ~./Build .Build and after all the questions it asked the setup was installing via terminal. So ilet it do its own thing not paying attention, when I noticed at one point, applications on my Dock had question marks, I look over at terminal, and I saw was rm and such. I never saw Fink do that during install. Soon I couldn't do anything, and cut the power. Afterwards I restarted tried to log in but it would flip out some error. I logged on as guest which was limited, and try seeing if anything was on my user account. But I couldn't even access the documents or anything.
- As for typing something wrong, as I stated I just would put eactly that stuff into terminal, I actually copy and pasted. During the install of XQuartz, at the same time I was compiling Python3.3, while and still my system was using usr/bin's Python2.7 and it still is cause I having changed the path to /sw yet. Am starting to think maybe it was some sort of script ran during the compiling, but maybe not.
- Remember though that the applications were there before I logged out after the XQuartz install, and weren't after XQuartz got loaded. I found none in finder, I wonder perhaps they got hidden with .Application.app or something like that, but am unsure if you can do that with apps.
- Someone in irc XQuartz chat channel finally got back to me last night and taught me a trick which brought my applications back from the dead. Usually I would erase my partition harddrive and reformat and start over with the install. I already made a back up copy of Mavricks installer to USB drive and used that and went and ahead and install with out erasing/reformating my disk. It just rewriten over the OS, placing what ever is missing back into place; yet it left what ever I had install with files, folders, applications, etc. So I didn't loose any information.
- I ran an antivirus check and am clear from anything that is able to be detected. So I have no idea how it happened. Am behind a firewall, running in stealth mode running on a wifi connection in the forest off a router. My remote desktop is password protected as well.
- The reason why I kept uninstalling XQuartz is cause am thinking about making my own build and compiling it. Am finding alot of software on Mac OS X and else where is kinda outta date in a way. When reading up on it, they use Mesa when building and installing the X11 currently the Mesa being used in X11 when building it is all the way back from 2007 and there is a new build of it; yet the other problem Mesa isn't actually all up to date either cause it is using OpenGL3.3, OpenGL is now at 4.4. You see where I am going. It is the same with many unix items that come bundled with OS X. They are all out-dated, and even package managers aren't even staying on top of anything. Really there has to be a better way to keep a system up to date with the software being develeop.
