Fahad Azmi, as per
http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/Product/inspiron-1545
an update is available for your BIOS (A14). If you update to this, does
it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of
the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
[Dell Inspiron 1545] 12.10 gets stuck at the 5dots screen, but not
12.04
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I was running Ubuntu 12.04 and decided to upgrade to 12.10, I let the system
download and install the upgrades. When I logged on Ubuntu came to a halt on
the 5 dots screen (with the Ubuntu logo). I tried restarting the system several
time to no avail. Since I needed to get some work done urgently I installed
another copy of Ubuntu 12.04 on the same system, the setup let me create
another partition.
Now I am running two systems on the same machine. All my software is
installed in 12.10, and I would greatly like to gain access to it again please.
Upon the behest of internet forums I have tried running fsck, tried the
boot-repair, tried boot-repair with uncommenting GFX mode all to no avail.
I am currently logged into the same machine but on Ubuntu 12.04. Is there any
way I can gain access to 12.10 again?
Any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you.
