I reinstalled 8.10 on my laptop (it's now dual booting with 8.04). I tried the two suggestions for getting to a command prompt but neither Ctrl-F2 or Ctrl-Alt-Backspace will take me away from the blank screen. (the screen is actually the beige background color seen before the desktop shows up). The cursor is the arrow cursor and it can be moved. I also here the ubuntu theme music as if the desktop has started, but I can only do a hard restart to get out of the blank screen.
