[Bug 699802] Re: error:: no video mode activated

[Mark Preston]

This flaw (or bug) has caused 2 different problems. It has prevented the
desktop (/home/mark/Desktop) from being stable. At boot time (cold or
warm) the objects on the /Desktop load, but after a few seconds vanish.
The file manager behaves much the same way. When called or invoked the
"Folder" icon on my left panel opens for a few seconds, then closes
without being commanded to do so. At no time during the on-time for the
computer can the file manager (Nautilus?) operate properly. Also, trying
to fix this and being mislead by those with Unity or Compiz problem, I
have reset my left panel and lost a number of application.

A few days later, I saw, at boot time, one icon which had the look or
image of the "i'm still loading" the exact moment went by so swiftly I
don't know for certain what it is. But, I decided to delete it. It had a
filename extension of .jp2. Ubuntu's various apps cannot read a .jp2.
After deleting this file and re-booting, I have the formerly lost
desktop objects returned to their places on the /Desktop. For example.
*.txt, .jpg, .pdf, user created directories "Trusty Tahr",  desktop
configuration file (application/x-desktop),   .mp3 and such. And the
file manager is working.

Some of the processes I did are here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7295230/
