I had similar symptoms on a laptop. After I removed a partition whose UUID
had changed from fstab, I was able to boot.

Hello,

For two days my Kubuntu 10.04 boots incorrectly, I got a blue screen
"Kubuntu" underlined by four or five points. At this screen I can
enter CTRL-ALT-DEL or power button to reboot the machine.

Do you have any idea?



Frédéric


Try hitting ESC at the GRUB startup and then (e)diting the kernel line
that you want to boot from then (e)dit the vmlinuz line and remove the
"splash" and "quite" options at the end of the line. Then (b)oot and see
what happens.

Think that was supposed to be "quiet" above!



Recently, my computer was having trouble completing boot too, in the end I fixed it by adding the options:

"quiet splash vmalloc=256MB"



to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line in /etc/default/grub.

I've just had to reboot the computer 3 times as it was locking up again just before KDM starts, looking at /var/log/syslog I'm seeing



kdm[1263]: X server startup timeout, terminating

kdm[1263]: X server died during startup

kdm[1263]: Failed to start X server. Starting failsafe X server.

The problem was fixed this way at my side:

# vi /etc/default/grub
- suppress quiet splash from this line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
# update-grub
