["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

David Lukens, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better. As per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-
support/product/inspiron-530/drivers an update to your computer's buggy
and outdated BIOS is available (1.0.18). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status New.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Repeated "Xubuntu has a problem."

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Desktop sometimes does not show the word "Activities" or show the
  icons when I clip on the space where "Activities" would appear. But
  there is some vague shadow in the space where the icons would appear,
  and if I click on that shadow, the activity shows up, ver slowly.
  Also the cursor follows the motion of the. mouse in a very jerky
  fashion
