It appears to not be problem in gnome (I was able to bring it up fine in gnome) but when I switch to lubuntu session. I had switched session to lubuntu to save memory like Yotam.
Just a note though, everything was working fine in lubuntu too, until recent updates maybe a week ago. Here is what my apt/history.log shows from the recent past (below)... something in here broke it, just not sure what.
If you have any ideas on what I could try downgrading, I am happy to do so.
Reinhard,
I think you hit on something, I hadn't tried.
