I'm currently experiencing the exact same problem, except when I enter my login and pw I just get a shell. I can load the GUI by typing 'startx', but I have no Ethernet access (and therefore no Internet access) and the hard disk I have connected to the system in an external USB housing is unavailable. I can boot in recovery mode, use the netroot option and then load X so that I have Internet connectivity (which is how I'm posting this), but there is no network indicator visible and I still can't access my external USB drive.
The system I'm running is mostly a stock Dell Dimension 4600 (2.66 GHz, 1GB RAM), but the video card is a Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD4650. -- Computer fails to completely boot hangs at tty login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579764 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
