GUI not working after install
At least it's consistent...
I created the 8.10 Live CD and booted the CD only version to try it out. Everything worked fine until after it auto logged into the "ubuntu" user. After running for a little while the screen went black but the mouse pointer worked. It stayed that way with the drive light flickering every two seconds.
I figured it was just a problem with the CD only version so I then did a full install and it went through the whole process with the GUI status of the install showing up fine. Finally it said it had to reboot, and after a reboot it asked for my user and password... then same thing happened.
I rebooted again and changed the session to "GNOME safe mode", no joy.
I rebooted again and tried "terminal safe mode" and got a command line session that works.
I'm new to Linux, but I was a unix guru back in the 70's thru mid 90's, but haven't used it since then - I may need a little hand holding but things will probably make sense soon.
