Please show us your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file.

I am new to linux. I am not sure how to get the file to you.

Since you are using Ubuntu 10.10, I'm going to assume you have gedit available. Go to your gnome menu and launch a terminal. In the terminal, run 'gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log'. Select the entire file, copy it, and paste it at http://pastebin.com/ . Then post the link to the file in a post here.

Here is the log, thank you so very much

You can do one more thing, as you said you are new to linux, open the synaptic packet manager and install compiz fussion icon, and manager, and now when you click compiz fussion icon , composting will automatically be activated.
by using compiz manager you can configure the effects.

I did just as you suggested re-installed compiz-fusion and a couple of other related packages. It does not seem to work. I also installed the "docky" application, not only does it take a good portion of my screen but i also get a message that compositing has to be enabled in order fro it to work. I am not sure what else to do.
Thank you

You didn't quite do what I suggested. You were supposed to paste that file at http://pastebin.com/ and give us the link to the file on that website. We can't read files on your computer, even if they are on your Desktop.

Alternatively, you could try attaching the file to a post here.

Adam

Sorry, i got it right this time

THANK YOU,

Well the most obvious problem is that you've managed to install the nvidia drivers. You'll want to go into synaptic and remove them, reboot, and try again.

Adam

Ok i did remove the nvidia drivers.
 

Yes sir, i did remove the nvidia drivers and restarted the system. I seem to be having the same issues with docky. I am not sure what i am doing wrong. Help....
Thank you

What is "docky"? And exactly what message is it giving you? Word for word, please.

Adam

in terminal

log as root

then

type

drak3d

Do not do what tailinlinux suggests. drak3d is for Mandriva only.

EDIT: Or is that Connectiva these days?

Adam
