are you using an AGP graphic card ?

As actual kernel directly deals with X, xorg.conf is not needed, so better to remove it:

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

No i m nt using AGP graphics card and so this cmd is nt working.
rm: cannot remove `/etc/X11/xorg.conf': No such file or directory
So sir if you have any solution please let me know.
Thany you

I googled this and there is a bug shown in launchpad. New kernels seem to have fixed this but there is also a solution that seems to have worked for many. Do you have an ATI Radeon video card? If so, try this.

in /etc/default/grub

add radeon.modeset=0 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT

then sudo update-grub2

If you don't have grub2 the method is different a bit so let us know if you have grub legacy in use.

"You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again."

Means you opened the file as a regular user, and thus you don't have the permissions to save the file. Edit the file again, but this time use sudo.

example:

gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Make the required change, save and close gedit and then type

sudo update-grub2
