    Kubuntu/ Ubuntu crashing on desktop

    I've messed around with both Kubuntu and Ubuntu before on my laptop, they worked fine i might want to add first. Now i'm attempting to run the live version of Kubuntu on the PC, but as soon as i hit the desktop, i instantly hang. The mouse moves but nothing else works. Similar thing happens on the Ubuntu CD and i haven't got any clue why.

    Did a slight search on the forums on possibilities and i think one of them might be that i'm using an ATi Radeon X800 Pro. Some issues with video drivers perhaps? It might be the case as i had to play around with the VGA resolution before i could get to desktop (Which just crashes anyway), if not i'd be stuck without any display at all...

    Rather frustrated here, and pretty new at linux so it doesn't really help much haha >.> I've got the Fiesty Fawn v7.04 64 bit and v6.01 Edgy i think of Ubuntu, 32 bit. Using a 64 bit system so that shouldn't be an issue (AMD Athlon 64 3000+)

    Any insight into this? :X

    Introduction

    One of the things which makes GNU/Linux a great operating system is that virtually anything, and everything happening on, and to the system may be logged in some manner. This information is invaluable to using the system in an informed manner, and should be one of the first resources used in trouble-shooting system, and application issues. The logs can tell you almost anything you need to know, so long as you have an idea where to look first.

    X Window System server logs are in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log .If you have problems with display, keyboard, mouse...

    Just looking errors:
    Code:
    :~$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "(EE)"
    Just looking warnings:
    Code:
    :~$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "(WW)"
