This is my first post to these forums...I've carefully read a lot of other posts but none of them have solved/exactly addressed my problem. So, uh, please be nice :) and I'm still rather new to Linux...
When I restart my computer from the menu on the far right it eventually reaches a point where the screen is black and says Ubuntu and then static-y colorful lines fill the first eighth or so of my screen. I am pretty sure it freezes up at that point. Then I hold down the power button and remind myself to Shutdown instead of Restart. Shutdown works fine.
I'm not sure what further details are relevant. I'm triple booting with Mac, Windows XP, and Ubuntu 8.10. I found some posts that blamed this on alsa and some that suggested adding lines to /etc/init.d/alsa-utils. I did that, but restarting still doesn't work.
Any suggestions?
