Thread: All programs hang when starting, then crash


i have tried 3 fresh installs of ubuntu 9.10 using ext4 formatted hard disk. experienced issue 1 hard disk, tried fresh install on another, same issue. when ubuntu boots can termimal start, no other programs, when try open folder, flashes momentarily, disappears. each program says "starting {program name}" in bar @ bottom of screen, hangs disappears. want start using ubuntu, odd worked fine live cd, not when installed hard disk.

have tried "sudo apt-get install -f" , first tells me "segmentation faultsts... 22%", if try command again, console outputs "segmentation faulty tree... 50%"

ideas?

are able boot ubuntu graphical desktop? , program can open terminal? correct? or not graphical desktop @ all? sounds bit strange.

first, rule out bad install cd source of problem, boot cd used install ubuntu , run option "check disc defects". if cd passes, good. report results of this.
if cd good, try running programs terminal , post error messages get. example, run firefox, type firefox in terminal , hit enter. run totem video player, type totem. report errors get.
should provide enough info diagnose this.

, welcome ubuntu forums!
