Thanks to everyone who has contributed to my scrambled screen issue. I've almost come to the conclusion that the quickest way to get everything back to full functionality would be to reinstall Ubuntu 8.04.
I've taken on-board two key issues (I think) that ought to retain all of the information still on my machine: 1. Backup /home - including all of the system objects revealed by CTRL-H. 2. When reinstalling, to not reformat my /home partition - in fact that is my ONLY partition as far as I know, given that my system is Ubuntu-only, rather than a dual boot setup. If anyone can foresee any possible potholes for the unwary (me) please do tell before I go down this route. Many thnaks to all who have and continue to contribute - as a newbie, I'm finding reading everyone's postings really helpful in getting familiar with Ubuntu. One final query; how do I go about making a copy of my Live DVD? Thomas & Sicam in their book almost insist on users duplicating their DVD and spreading it around. I have a number of interested parties keen to sample Ubuntu but can't see a way to copy the disc since it auto runs.
