yes uninstall compiz
flip the login into safe mode then apt-get remove compiz or you can use control-alt f1 to get to a terminal session then remove it brian -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of BigRedBettaFish Sent: 13 August 2008 13:35 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Bug 188660] Re: live CD loops between login and desktop on ATIXpress cards - compiz crashes Xorg Does anyone know of a work around for this issue using the Live CD?

Status in “xorg” source package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I downloaded the Hardy Heron alpha 4 CD and tried booting it, choosing the default "Start or install Ubuntu" option. The CD boots fine up to the login screen, which says "User ubuntu will login in 10 seconds" and does the 10-second countdown. Then the desktop background appears, the menubars at the top and bottom of the screen briefly appear (but with a smaller font than usual), and then I'm thrown back to the login screen and the 10-second countdown starts anew. This repeats ad infinitum. This is the same hardware configuration as in #138084: an MSI RS482M4 motherboard with the VGA output of the on-board graphics connected to an iiyama ProLite E380s 1024x768 LCD display. The machine boots 7.04 without problem. Workaround: Uninstall compiz-core which won't work on these cards anyway. No virus found in this incoming message.
