Hello,
Well, I recently installed PC linux OS (just 2 or 3 days ago) and I today experienced my first Linux crash on PC linux OS.
I used synaptic package manager to install compiz first and everything went fine. But on my 256 MB RAM PC, a linux system with compiz installed crossed my expectations. It ran like I was on 1GB RAM PC (Windows XP would have required 1GB RAM for similar features).
Then I thought of trying compiz fusion. I used synaptic package manager to install compiz fusion. Then I started compiz fusion from menu. But some problem occured with the display (I dont exactly remember) and then I restarted my PC Linux OS. But to my surprise the PC linux OS logon screen didnt come up. i.e. When we boot linux then starting processes [e.g. init (if I am not wrong):)] start properly but instead of logon screen a white dot comes in left top corner of black screen. As far as I know about linux, this is some problem with 3D effect WM (compiz) OR X server and so I think if I switch to KDE (no 3D effects) somehow then my problem will be solved. What should I do now?
I searched google but failed to get anything related.
Also I am able to log into FAILSAFE mode of PC linux OS in GRUB.
Thanks in advance...
