10.10 won't boot into the GUI

[hgpot]

I am having the same problems as OP, but when I install gdm it just tells me that I already have it, and when I try to start it, it says that it's already running.

It's probably best to start a new thread, else it get confusing

What graphics card do you have?

I'm really new at Ubuntu, but this (not booting to the GUI) happened to me last week. I don't know if this is the identical problem, but it might help:

I think new threads all round really, exept for the op, because I'm already getting confused

You can get some hardware info by opening a terminal (CTRL+ALT+T) and typing

lspci

It's the graphics card I'm interested in at the moment.

So I put in this code, and I get a long list of codes, I assume that you want:

Display controller: Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller

That is the same things as VGA Compatible Controller, so I assume that that means that it uses the same gpu for both the VGA port and the display, which makes sense.

hgpot
is the graphics module (driver) loaded. Can you post the out put of

lsmod | grep -i n10

That code doesn't doesn't do anything.

It was to see if the driver is installed. If nothing is returned there is no driver with n10 in the title installed. This either means your driver is not installed or it's not called anything with n10 in the title!?
