[Bug 49787] Ubuntu hangs at X login screen immediately after startup sound

[Daniel Santos]

Public bug reported:

This occurs both when booting from the 6.06 LiveCD (Desktop) and also
after doing an install from text mode and subsequently attempting to
boot the installation.  This happens 100% of the time.  I am able to
move the mouse around before the screen is displayed (i.e., the
background is black) and then after the screen appears, I have about 1.5
seconds to click on something or try to type a user name, but as soon as
that startup sound finishes playing, it's curtains.  I have to hold the
power button for 7 seconds to get it to power down after that.

I will get a copy of the logs and attach them to this posting, but I
can't access them from this OS.  I am unable to tell precisely what
component is causing the problem and I'm open to troubleshooting steps.
Also, I'm not certain what the best way to get my hardware info.  I did
post a rough list in this thread
(http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1139759).
