Probably worth looking for clues here:
(==) Log file: "home/ubuntu/.localshare/xorg/Xorg.1.log" time, (current time) Can we see something like: $grep -2 '(EE)' ~/.localshare/xorg/Xorg.1.log
But my guess is this problem will turn out to be about too many display managers or multiple X sessions or X fighting with wayland or whatever the ubuntu wayland-competitor was called etc. I'd be interested in seeing if any X servers are running. Maybe something like: $ps ax | grep Xorg or even $ps ax | grep X
And if you find a process running X it's probably a display manager that you aren't using, and maybe it can be shut off i.e: $sudo /etc/init.d/somedm stop The only process I could see was Xorg (from "top")
Thanks so much. I know that all the parts are there but getting them ordered seems to be the issue

So I thought that I'd try to run a program from the command line that is my only user environment so I chose thunderbird. Returned was #Error: GDK_BACKEND does not match available displays# So how do I find my available displays? Maybe there's some value in that?

Sorry for dribbling this in but I ran #who# amd for the first time found that ubuntuguest has a DISPLAY value of (:0). I had just run #export DISPLAY="0.0# logged in as me in the command line. However if I ctr+alt+f7 I am back in the ubuntuguest GUI. On Fri, March 16, 2018 6:48 pm, okeefe@cybermesa.com wrote:
