Had upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10, that broke xorg cause I didn't remove my propiatary nvidia drivers. Used the recovery mode kernel and root shell to upgrade to 13.04 then did a upgrade to 13.10 with do-dist-upgrade -d. Fixed the xorg problem by removing nvidia drivers but there are still some left over packages that are causing errors to pup up, they haven't effected regular pc usage just get the dialog asking to report the problem.
