[Bug 588048] Re: updating to Ubuntu 10.04 no login screen only command line and LiveCD i386 amd64 no desktop and Computer DOES NOT freeze.

[Tetsuo__Shima]

Thank you Jeremy for your reply and suggestions.

The issue no longer exists, I just downloaded the ISO images and burned
them with the same unit, and gave them a try, everything runs fine now,
not to mention that I just ran the Update Manager and Synaptic Package
Manager.

It runs smoothly in every machine that did not work in before.
It even runs now in an old P4 machine.

Thank you.
Have a great weekend!

> Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great.  It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.  Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds .  Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag.  This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.  Please let us know your results.

> Hello!
> 
> Yesterday (2010-May-30) I came across with a peculiar problem, I upgraded from 9.10 ->10.04LTS via update manager and rebooted and I see the Ubuntu logo with the red dots loading (looks awful and I assume that is loading) for a few seconds, then the screen goes black (no login screen) I just get the login prompt.
> 
> So I decided to do a fresh install, on another computer I burned the ISOs, but when I tried the livecd the desktop never loads, it just goes into a black screen, then the command line appears, I have tried the live CD i386 & amd64 and same result.
> 
> Have tried it on several desktop and laptops, so I figure the ISOs are corrupted, so tried burning new ones on a different machine and I get the same result.
> 
> Some quick details of the machines I have tried the 10.04LTS ISOs:
> 
> Toshiba laptop - nVidia video card 256MB, P4HT 2GB Ram
> Toshiba laptop - Ati video card 512 MB, C2D 4GB Ram
> Asus desktop - Asus video card 512 MB, C2D 4GB Ram
> Dell laptop - intel video card 1GB, C2Q 8GB Ram
> HP desktop - intel video card1GB, C2Q 4GB Ram
> 
> So I downloaded and burned the ISOS for 9.10 on the machine that I burned the 10.04LTS ISOS, and the freshly 9.10 burned ISOs work just fine (so I can assume that my DVDRW unit is working properly) all machines are up and running fine with 9.10.
> 
> Also tried on some friends laps/desktops and nope, I get the Ubuntu screen with the red dots for a moment, then it just goes back to a black screen with the promp.
> 
> No error messages appear either with the installed or running the livecd, and no desktop or login screen ever appears.
> The computer DOES NOT freeze, I'm able to use command line, tried to start x server but, nothing happens, no errors are prompt.
> 
> I tried sudo apt-get dist-update
> I tried sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
> 
> have tried several intents to get graphics running but no luck, no errors prompt.
> 
> Anyone have an idea of what the problem might be?
> 
> I have read that plymouth may be the problem, so I can assume that it is not the videocard drivers because this is happening in computers with nvidia, ati & intel graphic cards.
>  
> In the meantime 9.10 works just fine.
> Thank you, hope the issue/bug is solved soon.
