Well after fighting with RAM problems I finally got my ION system playing 1080p's last night. But this morning it only boots to a black screen.
I'm thinking it's because I'm doing a hard power off, and the guisettings.xml file is locked. This is in the log:

(I know it's not a debug log, but this was the best I could do this morning before running out the door, and if I don't get this fixed tonight my girlfriend will kill me).
Does this seem plausible? If so, can I remove the lock or delete the file from the terminal? I tried deleting it with WinSCP last time this happened, but it wouldn't delete.
Edit: I'm not asking for a diagnosis of my problem. I know a debug log is necessary for that. I'm just asking if my conclusion is plausible, and if so, any commands I can use to fix it. I'm fresh to Linux.
