Upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10 failure

Sat Oct 19, 2013 11:03 pm
Two days ago I upgraded from K 13.04 to 13.10 and it has been a disaster. Borders of display are like a fog bank. Access to anything that normally resides at the edges of the screen are almost impossible as the images are so indistinct. The features crash with no predictability. Is there a quick/convenient way to retreat back to 13.04? I have Kubuntu added as a second OS but cannot access Win XP due to a virus which I was trying to remove by utilizing Kubuntu.

downgrading a distribution is a distribution issue is not a desktop environment one

Google'ing returns many posts including:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DowngradeHowto
could be a clean install is a viable solution

have you tried disable compositing alt+shift+F12 ?

Thanks I will try those things. I am running off a DVR and have to shut down and reboot to try.

just want to emphasis that there might be issues downgrading if configuration files were changed in the newer versions
