I have a problem with the w window, when I power on my PC, and after progressing ubuntu logo, there will appear a blue screen with the gray screen in it(SYSTEM CONFIGURATION,select language).
I lost my X window. I use the sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg but it did not work and got me this
debconf: DbDriver “config”: /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable

what should I do?

I would avoid using the -phigh setting as it can cause problems. The autodetect is no good if you originally did anything other than click next next next on the configuration part of the Ubuntu install (other than the partitioning).
