I have a dual boot system: Windows XP & Kubuntu 7.10 and when i booted into my Kubuntu yesterday it did the automatic disk remounting....i Don;t know what this is but when it finished it asked for my unsername and password which i gave....it gave me a command line....i didnt know what 2 do so i rebooted and did the same thing except for this time it didnt remount it just went straight to the username and password.....but this wasn't the usuall boot screen it was like before and when i gave it again is gave me the command line i dont know what to do???? Can anyone help me?

From the command line try to reconfigure the xserver. At the command input:sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

This should start a text based wizard. Answer questions that you can. If there are any you can't then go with the given default answer. If at first you don't succeed then try again.If all else fails choose VESA of the driver.

I got a bunch of questions..i didnt know the answers 2....some of them didnt have defaults....
If i reinstalled Kubuntu 7.10 will this happen again?....because i dont have any important files there....

ok...so i answered all the questions and everything is fine after the reboot
one problem though .... my compiz fusion beryl isn't working anymore......does anyone know what might be causing this?

btw i installed my nvidia driver before all of this happened

It can knock out your video card, and it this supports 3D, compiz. You may need to reinstall your video card and/or compiz.

One easier way of downloading installing the correct nvidia or ati video card in *buntu is to use the Envy script from http://albertomilone.com/wordpress/

um...if i do this what will happen?

um...when i installed it it opened and it didnt work
it said that there were some missing dependencies, and when i clicked yess to install them, it game me a screen that said dkms
please install them manually

Try connecting to the internet, opening a terminal and inputing

ok....it worked and then i installed the nvidia driver
but....my compiz fusion still isnt working

Try running (Alt+F2)If it is not there you need to reinstall it.

yeah

compiz --replace worked

but whenever my compiz is on there is a window called adept notifier, its just a little green ball, and when i try to close it it still is there
what do i do to get rid of it?

I know the problem but I don't know the answer. Maybe someone else can help. Can it be maximised/minimised? What happens when you RIGHT click on it? Can it be closed?

it cant be maximized or minmized
when right clicked it give a quit option and when clicked says if it needs to open next time and i said no....next time 'll try but if it doesnt work then ill come back
