Public bug reported: I installed 10.04.4 on this system, applied all -proposed updates as of today, March 18, 2012, including the 2.6.32-40 kernel which is what I'm testing. The system boots up but then refuses to enter graphical mode.
If I run sudo service gdm start manually, I get the "low graphics mode" prompt, but if I ask the system to start in low graphics mode it just hangs there telling me to wait. If I press the button on-screen it just dumps me back to text mode.
