Now running Mate and it is suddenly behaving like a computer again. Next, installing Chromium because this janky stuff in Cappuccino will NOT do.

@thrrgilag Oddly, it was working fine until it updated to 49.0

Gorgeous!

NOTE: This reply from Ubuntu was achieved by clicking reply then clicking 'New Post' because…I've given up trying to figure this hot mess out.

Got Unity working again.
Firefox updated.
Firefox now will not let me reply to anyone in Cappuccino

YAY LINUX!

Just using apt from the console to install the mate metapackage

Rebuilding the package database because reasons I guess. After that, will try to install Mate. Then, maybe, I will have a desktop.

Nope. Ubuntu knows better. It enables the Radeon driver. Compiz says "hi" then "argh". I am not going to google a solution.

Now trying to force X11 to use fbdev

There must be a safe, non accelerated desktop option to fall back on. Right??

Compiz is segfaulting.
