The screen comes up for me to login and once I put in my password, it just freezes at the desktop. I can still CTRL+Alt+F1 to get to a terminal but the GUI just doesn't work.

Thanks in advance.

Here goes:

: connect to britty at :0
: for cjkv started at run_im.
: for default started at run_im.


Also, the commands you gave me did stop the ongoing error message. Now it just sticks...

Did this and it still shows the same thing after reboot.

Also, when I'm logging in to the GUI, after login, it just sits at the wallpaper screen. Nothing else. Related?

Bump

I just upgraded to 13.10 and, once I login, the wallpaper just comes up and stays there, no menu, desktop items, etc.

When I go in to terminal, I get "mei_me (bunch of numbers): reset:...

Anyone heard of this? It connects everywhere else I've tried. Other computers (Windows, iPad) are connecting to the WAP.

Thanks!

Worked until I upgraded to 13.04. xrdp is still showing as installed. I'm using Remmina to connect.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the links!

When I install and run toshset (as root), I get "required kernel toshiba support not enabled."

I'm on 13.04.

Just tried it and still the same problem.

Screen is bright until Ubuntu splash screen, then it goes dim.

Did a new install of 13.04 and wireless isn't working.

I'm running a Toshiba Satellite with a new install of 13.04. Every time I boot up, the screen brightness reverts back to the lowest setting. Is there anyway to fix it so it saves the setting that I...

I do. I've also done a complete removal and re-installation of it.

Thanks for replying.

Bump.

I've upgraded to 12.10 on 3 of my machines and 2 of them no longer have the "Network" option in Thunar.

They were all working fine in 12.04. Anyone know what I may have messed up?

My 2 year old got a hold of the task bar and now it's all crazy and the icons across the bottom are not showing up. I'm using xfce.

Is there a way to get it to go back to defaults? I've tried...

On old machines, I recommend Xubuntu. It's good-looking and has lots of features but runs pretty fast.

If you don't like it, move to Lubuntu. That's the beauty of Ubuntu, pretty easy to just...

This happens a lot on older laptops. Every year or so I take them apart and use a bit of canned air to get the dust out. (My PS3 is the worst culprit)

There are tutorials all over for taking...

Looks like it was a bad power cord issue. Sorry for the trouble.

Okay, I tried Lubuntu and Puppy Linux and it's the same problem, so it's not an OS issue.

I've run memtest and it checks out just fine.

What else could it be?

What log do I need to be looking at? Trying to boot in recovery causes the same problem. I'm logged in now via a Live CD, though.

I'm running Precise on a Toshiba laptop. While booting up, it gets to a certain spot (before login) and the laptop just shuts down completely.

I've been able to run memtest on the memory sticks...

Thank you but I found that post and have already tried cycling through all of them and only 3 doesn't give me the error "Unable to initialize sound device." Still, no sound.
