HAve been using Ubuntu for four years or so on an HP a400y. Always have to include switches aspc=off noapic nolapic. This time when I upgraded to 8.10 I got nothing but black sreen with x pointer after boot. Figured I would wait and install again later after bugs were removed. INstalled again complete, now after I login all I get is moving mouse pointer and nothing else but orange desktop. No menu and staut bar. I am essentially "locked out". PLease help!!! Oh GOd don't make me go back to MS Windows. Oh God! Oh God! Oh God!!! No, No NO-o-o-o-o-oo-o-o-!!
