Good morning. Every now and then, I become curious about Ubuntu but it appears as if I need to call it a day with this poor excuse for an OS . I tried using Wubi and installing Ubuntu 13.10 onto my Dell Optiplex GX 260 w/ a SL6RZ P4 CPU . It uses the onboard Intel Extreme Graphics 82845 G/GV Video chip. Never seen anything so pathetic in a long time - After initial install, when I use my Password to Login, it completely clears the Display of everything but the Default Wallpaper. Nothing but that orange, reddish waveform. No Taskbar on top. no Unity menu items on left, NOTHING ! Those items ARE there before I Login, but quickly disappear and freeze that spinning wheel thing. My God - I'm a Tech and when you're faced with a glitch like this, it's rather pessimistic about the entire platform. Remarkable! Glitched from Jump Street. What to do?
