I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my desktop. (Pentium 4, 80 GB hard disk, 2 GB RAM, 32-bit CPU.) And I have installed Windows XP.
I made a 40 GB partition for Windows and 40 GB for Ubuntu. I installed Ubuntu and it said "installation is complete" and asked me to restart. I restarted the PC and then logged in. After 1 minute I get a message like this:
The application compiz has closed unexpectedly.
Then I closed it. After that it just stays in a blank screen and nothing shows up.
What should I do?
unity --replace
? Does that restore your desktop? How aboutunity --reset
? How aboutcompiz --replace
? If pressing Ctrl+Alt+T doesn't work, try Alt+F2. If neither works, press Ctrl+Alt+F1, log on, and runcompiz --display :0 --replace
, then switch back to the GUI (Ctrl+Alt+F7). These are not really solutions, though they may help work around the problem in the short term (and may not). Their primary usefulness is diagnostic--knowing what happens when you do this may help to figure out how to fix the problem.unity --reset
deprecated and discouraged in 12.10 ?unity --help
says it:Reset is not supported anymore. Deprecated option
. Mahesh, jokerdino and amithkk here on Ask Ubuntu have a GitHub repository for an implementation of of a unity reset
