package ubuntu-desktop

[Donny George]

Hello all

i have been installing this new ubuntu 8.04 server edition, after
installation was complete i also did apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and it
was completed succesfully but once reboot, the ubuntu starts up with the
reading bar and once thats finished i only get a black screen. and i cant
even go to text mode frmo here

i then went to the recovery mode fixed broken packages and also tried xfix,
then took to the text mode and even when i have configured the ip with
ifconfig and gateway it just cant ping a website address but it can ping the
neighbouring computer. its also weird since only because i had the internet
connectivity i could install the ubuntu-desktop package.

could someone help me get the display
