I recently left my computer for a while, and when I got back upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 and installed some 2500 software updates. After this, many applications such as Konsole, VLC, and others fail to start entirely, whether run from their shortcuts or from command-line. The apps are installed; nothing happens when I run the apps. I don't know whether it's the updates or the distribution upgrade, but something did it.
EDIT: I found these programs already running at startup in the System Monitor, and also eating all my processor. Which would explain why they aren't starting. Help?
