I found the file you were looking for and attached it. At least I think it is the file you were looing for. I used nautilus to search that portion of the hard drive where I see what I think are the ubuntu files. Perhaps I misunderstand something here.<br>

</div>Weird. What do yo see when you list /var/log ?<br>

<br>
yes, that's the traditional word. Though graphical file managers like<br>
Nautilus have started to call it "Folder".<br>

The directory is /var/log. The file is Xorg.0.log<br>

</div>Open a terminal and enter "ls /var/log > ~/Desktop/var_log.txt" (without<br>
the quotes). After that you will have a file called var_log.txt on the<br>
Desktop. It will contain a list of the content of /var/log. Please<br>
attach (in case the problem of finding and attaching Xorg.0.log<br>
persists)<br>

</div>No, it's a text file that contains log output of the display graphics<br>
system (Xorg)<br>
