above are the links to 2 images i snapped before i removed 11.10 and reinstalled 10.04.

random characters would be broken in all apps (writer, firefox, software center, etc). usually it is the same characters on each occurrence of the problem. that is, one time it would be all the lowercase Ls and Es, other times it would be all the Us and another character.

i couldn't get any work done and 11.10 was so useless, i had to reinstall 10.04. there is no such problem in 10.04.
