When you select Options, also then select:

- Select Session
  - Failsafe GNOME
    - Change Session
Username
  Password

That will put you in the "Failsafe" mode and will start the session
without startup scripts - at the prompt click OK.

Post back and let us know if that gets you a Ubuntu desktop screen.
