I did a fresh install. 1st time the installer crashed in between.
then i reboot & again tried installing. This time there was no problem.
But, when i tried to boot it gave error "No such file" and a grub-rescue prompt. I rebooted into livecd and did grub-install specifying the boot dir & target device. It installed without error.
Then, on reboot, the booting starting.
However, after the trisquel logo animation booting process, only the wallpaper & mouse appeared. I tried changing tty, and after going through tty1,tty2,tty3... came back to the xserver tty. Now, there was some language support window. It mentioned something needed to be installed aspell,gimp-help, etc. I accepted & entered password, but it could not fetch them. Then i cancelled it.
Now,the desktop icons had appeared. But, there was no menubar/taskbars.
I right clicked and opened terminal. The terminal window did not have any title bar, no menu bar. just the black window. I was able to type in and execute. But, it was stuck on the top-left corner.
I double clicked on the Home icon and the nautilus window had the same problem. No title bar. No menu bar and stuck to top-left corner.
After refering to some threads here, i saw mention of rm ~/.config/dconf/user
I did that and rebooted. But, now after the trisquel logo animated boot process, nothing happened. No wallpaer. No mouse pointer. The monitor went blank and they went to sleep.
I then forced shutdown & booted into livecd and copied the livecd's .config/dconf/user into my installation. After reboot into installation, now i get the wallpaper & mouse pointer. But, nothing else. Cannot change tty. No icons. Ctrl-Alt-t doesnt open terminal. No context menu on right click.
Please help, what should i do now?
PS: i had chosen autologin option during installation.

Did you verify the integrity of the install media?
I'd probably try to install once more.
Atlast got Trisquel6 running properly.
The solution was to switch to Metacity instead of the default Compiz. I had to remove Compiz completely as after reboot it kept showing its effects/problems even though Metacity was selected.
It took quite a while to figure out the solution, lots of reboots, forced shutdowns, switching ttys, updating from tty1, disabling splash booting, ..etc. At some point, I was also getting the "Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung" "GPU hanging too fast! Declaring wedged!" "Failed to reset chip" error messages.
But it was pure luck that i got the rightclick context menu working and went on to changing background and saw the "All settings" button on top. From 'All Settings' dialog, i started messing with display resolution, themes, etc. Then, in the 'Windows effects' setting, when i switched to Metacity, immediately, all menus, title bar, taskbar, desktop icons, appeared. That was one hell of a moment!
It was quite an episode, as i was not dual booting and only had the Trisquel6 LiveCD & the Trisquel6 HDD installation.
Have rebooted 3-4 times over different intervals while using the system, and it has not revert back to the problem. All menus, taskbar, icons, titlebars are visible now.
You may even try editing the file
"/usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-classic.session"
replace trisquel-wm in the following line with metacity
DefaultProvider-windowmanager=trisquel-wm
But if you receive an update on gnome session the file will be
over-written to default.
i wont be trying that out. As, currently there is no problem. So, i rather not cause any.
I have however made a note, just in case.
There's bug with disabling Compiz in Trisquel. You should see this issue report I made: https://trisquel.info/en/issues/7862
