Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120-140. I burned a copy of 9.04, ran it as a live cd, and it booted fine, but failed to show the gnome menu, so I haven't been able to test it at all.
I decided to go ahead and install anyway, splitting the hard drive between windows and ubuntu, because I had plenty of space on the hard drive. After all, the bug might have been in the config files, which I could easily tweak after install. BUT ...
I have booted from the new default ubuntu install, and logged in, but I can only see a black screen and a mouse cursor. I guessed there might have been a bug in the 9.04 release, so I plugged in a cable, Alt-F1'd, Apt-upgraded, and rebooted, but no improvement.
I have searched forums and google, and cannot find a solution. I am currently downloading 8.10 and will try and install that. This is not good! I have trusted and relied on ubuntu in the past, and I have more confidence and experience in this distribution than any other, perhaps excepting debian - which is harder work. Please don't let this be the start of the decline of ubuntu!!
What can I do now? :confused:
TIA,
Craig Marshall
