Think I fixed it... had to do with the dbus... some how it got unchecked and gnome and other what nots in ubuntu couldn't handle the situation without paniking. (I guess I would freak too if I lost one of my vitals, like an arm or leg :P ) Anyway, started up the service manually... you know /etc/init.d dbus start and everything started working. I then tried that services-admin program and it worked... I found that dbus was unchecked and checked it. Seems to be all hunky doory now.
