    Ubuntu in character mode

    Why does Ubuntu (910 Karmic) come up in character mode when it boots?
    How do I stop that?
    I usually reboot 3 or four times to get it back into GUI mode, but that not fun.

    Re: Ubuntu in character mode

    You obviously have something wrong with your installation, but with so little information it is pretty hard to tell. HAve you tried typing:

    Code:
    startx
    at the prompt to get to your desktop? Have you got gdm installed?
