** Description changed: The Dell Optiplex GX-260 doesn't look to now be compatible with Ubuntu 8.10. That is unfortunate, as we mostly have GX-260s'. If anyone has an idea on how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated. When I install it, the desktop doesn't come up. All I get is either a black or brown screen and mouse pointer I can move. + + Updated 11-5-08 + FOUND A SOLUTION: + + Originally Posted by jerrylamos View Post + Any number of us are having problems with 8.10 compiz.
