    Exclamation Help - No display after gdm-2.20 installation

    Hi

    In order to get a new theme running on my Karmic I
    ran the following code in the terminal:
    sudo apt-get install gdm-2.20
    I selected the gdm-2.20 as standard when prompted.
    But after rebooting Ubuntu halted after the splash screen, only showing a black screen.

    Please how can I recover from here?

    Hurray I'm back with Gnome display again

    This is how I managed to do so - by my best memory -
    1- On reboot I helt shift down in order to reach Grub.
    2- In Grub I selected 'recovery mode'
    - and on the next screen 'netroot'
    3- At the terminal-prompt I entered:
    sudo apt-get install gdm
    4- Gdm-2.20 then was overwritten with gdm 'zero'
    - When prompted with the blue screen this time I selected 'gdm' as default.
    On the next reboot everything was back as normal
