Hi,
Used forum Search, which is very slow and could not find a coverage of my problem.
I have LXDE, Ubuntu and Xubuntu all installed. I used LXDE and switched to Xubuntu, but each time I had to do "metacity -- replace" to get title bars and also it never allowed me to shutdown or restart or log out, I had to hit the reset button. But it did allow me to work. I added "metacity --replace" to my .profile and it now allows me to login but stalls immediately after. I used Ctrl Alt F1 and login in shell though I do get a msg "Window manager error: Unable to open X Display". Then when I try "sudo shutdown now" it fails "Killing all remaining processes". I managed to remove that line from my .profile and I get past the login, but the shutdown and metacity problems remain. I made sure it is up to date. I can also no longer connect to wireless it just spins it's wheels. All this from switching to Xubuntu from LXDE. I did install a new graphics card a HD7770, on Satruday, but was working fine all Sunday with it.
What next? Is there a way to debug these shutdown problems and the wireless.
Thx.
David
