HI, My friend's laptop has the same problem. We installed Ubuntu 6.10 from CD, and immediately upgraded to Feisty. After the upgrade, when we rebooted the laptop, it booted but we just get the 'busy' mouse cursor and a blank screen. presumably gdm hangs.
However as OP has seen, C-A-F1 etc. works and killall gdm && startx works fine. seems to be a bug with GDM. the laptop specs are: Dell inspiron 1501, AMD Turion64 Processor, ATI video card. -vikas -- gdm hangs before login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113067 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
