Public bug reported:
Did the upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 Beta on 9/3/2010, and when it
restarted instead of the GUI password login, it gave me a text based
screen and asked for login and password. Used the same ones I had used
before with the 10.04 GUI login, but it refuses to log in and move past
that text screen. Have tried numerous variations, still no luck. Am now
going to burn a CD of 10.10 Beta and reinstall from scratch, losing any
data that was on that hard drive (fortunately not very much). Somehow
the version upgrade has to be friendlier, not requiring the log in the
first time for instance, since we were already logged in when we started
the upgrade. Then perhaps the GUI log in will work properly when we
reboot. I've had this same problem with previous version upgrades,
perhaps there is some default user name and password to use at that
point that I don't know about.
