Thank you for responding so quickly. I wish I could copy and paste from the ubuntu shell prompt to Outlook but I will actually have to type.
Lspci -nn | greb VGA gave the following;- [ 158.816036] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x1SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen [ 158.816036] ata1.00: cmd 60/d0:00:4b:c2:d3/00:00:1c:00:00/40 tag 0 ncq 106496 in [ 158.816087] res 40/00:00:2d:0e:11/00:00:1d:00:00/40 Emask 0x4 (timeout) [ 158.816185] ata1.00: status: {DRDY} Bash:Greb: command not found The two file paths gave the message "no such file or directory" I have a feeling a 'type' kind of command might be needed but the file will be to large to type out here, is there something I can look for in it or a copy paste trick between the ubuntu shell prompt and Outlook?

I rebooted in recovery mode and selected 'xfix Try to fix X server' twice but to no effect so I selected the run terminal menu option and issued the command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver- xorg" and was told I had no Xserver installed. Can I get one? Is it likely to be installed but invisible? ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- error message about screen mode on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/404050 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug.
