It starts up with the splash screen (for Ubuntu Studio) and then that disappears, I get a CLI and various text outputs, and it gets as far as starting TIMidity++ but then freezes. I can still reboot and even press CTRL-ALT-F1 for a terminal, but the booting will not go any further to the login screen or anything. I can boot into Linux Mint (which I am using now) on the PC so I know that the hardware is still functioning. Any ideas what could be wrong and how to fix it? Otherwise it looks like I will have to do a fresh install. I already backed up a list of my installed packages, and my /home is on a separate partition.

So I had used ALT-SysRq-R E I S U B to shut down and reboot. Maybe that has broken something? </body> </html>
