Recently, I had to switch of my computer by pulling the plug. When I opened ubuntu, the following problems occur.

  • constant blinking of the mouse
  • font and the size(on-screen) of apps is randomly changing
  • Input response is very slow.
  • I can't shut down, i.e whenever I try to shut down, it goes to the logout page, and when I try to shut down after that, It asks 'Are you sure you want to shut down?' without giving an option for 'Yes' or 'No'.

The second time I booted Ubuntu, The error "System program problem detected" came up.

P.S I am a beginner with Ubuntu, so easy to follow responses are appreciated.I have a dual boot with Windows, which is not facing any problems

Ok, so now you need to learn some command line fu, open up Terminal(usually shortcut is Atl+Ctrl+T).

Then if you'd like to learn what is eating your CPU simply type "top" and hit Enter. You could see what is loading you PC.

Then if you'd like to power you PC off, again type "sudo poweroff" in Terminal and hit Enter.

Everything else require at least looking into log files, you could check them through System Log application, Launch Unity then type system and you'll find a link to that app, click on it and you'll get access to some logs. Check for EE marks in X.org log.
