thank you all for replying. i must tell you i am very inexpierenced in any linux system, but im desperately trying to follow your help. i tried opening a terminal like you suggested...ctrl +alt + f1 i got a terminal window and tried starting the logging file unity.log it just seems to hang. however i did get a compiz failure msg. and then a window to report a bug. i gave permission and sent it... dont laugh...i have no idea where it went :) on the plus side of things i did find a way at the log in screen to open a xfce session with a desktop enviourment by xubuntu v4.10 thats what im using now. i ran a system test in that enviournment and sent to daniel.van.v...@canonical.com. im logged into that as mico@ubuntu: im also going to try and attatch that report to this e-mail.. im sorry im not very good at using a terminal...maybe you will have pity on me and still try to help me ? again thank you., :) sean.
