Public bug reported: I was running 11.10 happily. I upgraded to 12.04 and at reboot, I got an error box saying that the monitor settings could not be restored. The keyboard and mouse were dead, and I cannot get past this point. The so-called upgrade resulted in a totally unusuable system. I have booted the 11.10 CD-ROM and am running in Try It mode now. All my files are on hard disk are avaialable mounted as "487 MB file system". What do I cleanup so I can boot from the hard disk again?
