You can edit the command line in Grub (select the kernel you want to

boot, then hit 'e' to get to a command line). You need to append the

'nosplash' option to it, and then hit the right command to carry on the

boot process - I can't remember what it is in Grub 2, but I know it

says it on the screen when you're editing.

You'll have to delete "quiet" as well to see 'what's happening'.
Deleting "splash" just bypass the splash screen (the alternating dots).


But I think if it displays a plain black screen, (with backlight,
meaning a 'blinking cursor'?), you have more to worry about, most likely
a video driver issue. Adding "nomodeset" to the line may help and then
when booted up, rectify your video driver.


So change
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.xx-xx-generic root=UUID=xxxx ro splash quiet
to
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.xx-xx-generic root=UUID=xxxx ro nomodeset

By backlight I mean the screen was not entirely dark, but had its http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backlight backlight enabled. There was no cursor visible. I worked with someone on IRC: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2011/07/23/%23ubuntu.txt and decided to back up my settings, erase the system, and restore them. I tried reinstalling various packages to fix the issue but was not successful.

Okay, thanks for the explanation. Try "nomodeset" then (per my last
message) and let us know if it boots okay. If it boots okay, resolve
with video driver/settings.


If it's video settings, and you need further help, others may have to
come in to help (I am not good in this). If you're on hdmi, and let
others know if that is the case.


Good luck - Goh Lip

Thanks. No, it does not boot properly. It seems to be a problem with gdm, so I'm reinstalling. :-P Thanks for the good wishes! :-)

Then, instead of reinstalling first, have you tried to boot into
recovery (networking as root) then

update/upgrade
install-reinstall gdm (#if that's the problem, and should it be
ubuntu-desktop?)

apt-get -f install
dpkg --configure -a
update/upgrade (#for good measure)

If you could try copying the message that appears when the failure occurs,
or, if there is no message, then describe what happens up until you get the
last screen.
Is this a dual boot machine?
Are you using a boot manager?

I have added subject line that describes as much of the problem
as I can garner from you message. Mostly to prevent this and future
messages from ending up in the spam directory.
Please make all requests/responses to the list.

Thank you!

Tom

I personally, cannot help you with this particular problem. You need to
subscribe to the list and submit all your questions to the list and check
it for answers. Someone can help, but only if you subscribe to the list.
