Hi there,
after being badly burned by the 7.10->8.04 upgrade (I lost my xorg config and had to call in an expert to fix it - I'm a Windows expert Linux noob) I decided to just see how 9.04 looks. The live CD boots fine, I get the menu. I select "try Ubuntu without installing" option, it loads and goes straight to the command line.
no GNOME.
no GUI
a command line.
since no one else appears to have this, it's clearly my setup. Could my nvidia graphics card (which caused all the problems last time) be the culprit ? Or have I done something so staggeringly stupid, I'll just have to die ?
cheers guys
