I am a fairly new user to Ubuntu. As stated in the title, I have a Dimension 2400 that I put 13.04 on. Everything seemed to go perfectly, once I booted it up I got to my login, and then *Boom, nothing happens, all I see is my mouse and wallpaper. I have done most of what has been said already in the forums:
Remove your xorg.conf
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.confReinstall xorg completely
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorgReboot
sudo reboot dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ unity --reset-icons &disown sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
I have also tried this:
Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and log in.
Install the jibby you'll need to configure the settings by running this:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-managerThen run it by doing this:
export DISPLAY=:0 ccsmThe first part tells the terminal which display you want it to load on (otherwise it won't have a clue).
Press Ctrl+Alt+F7 (or Ctrl+Alt+F8 sometimes) to get back to the graphical display where there should be a CompizConfig Settings Manager screen sitting there.
Find the Unity plugin. Enable it.
Everything should spring into life but if it doesn't, you might have to restart. You can do that by going back to TTY1 and running sudo reboot.
And still nothing works. Every time I log in, it's still the same screen.
*During using ccsm I can see the unity plugin, but it dosen't have a checkmark next to it. I have to open it up, to then try and enable it. But it never gets enabled.
Additionally I have tried to run this command just for it to say Command not found yet I can browse to the exact spot it's in.
/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p
Also when I run echo "$DESKTOP_SESSION" it comes back with ubuntu, which means unity 3d should be running.
Please help, at this point I am so lost, and just want to go back to running Windows.
This is what my screen looks like after login. Nothing is there:
