http://ubuntuforums.org – My sons unity interface stopped working on 12.04 LTS, he is young and is prone to not shutting it down properly, I tried reinstalling gdm via this advice which described the problem http://askubuntu.com/questions/14160...ics-mode-error However apart from one boot up correctly which failed after I set it to autologin its got a bit worse.

" (Hardware)
