Comment 6 for bug 1095445

thank you all for replying. i must tell you i am very inexpierenced in any
linux system, but im desperately trying to follow your help. i tried
opening a terminal like you suggested...ctrl +alt + f1 i got a terminal
window and tried starting the logging file unity.log it just seems to
hang. however i did get a compiz failure msg. and then a window to report a
bug. i gave permission and sent it... dont laugh...i have no idea where it
went :) on the plus side of things i did find a way at the log in screen
to open a xfce session with a desktop enviourment by xubuntu v4.10 thats
what im using now. i ran a system test in that enviournment and sent to
<email address hidden>. im logged into that as mico@ubuntu: im
also going to try and attatch that report to this e-mail.. im sorry im not
very good at using a terminal...maybe you will have pity on me and still
try to help me ? again thank you., :) sean.
