Ubuntu Freezes after Install

[biloyp]

I downloaded and installed the newest Ubuntu and my desktop freezes after a minute, how frustrating. I think I will revert to an earier version and wait till this issue is fixed.

try updating it from the tty:
press ctrl+alt+f1
login with your user and password
stop gdm:
sudo service gdm stop
update the system:
sudo aptitude update
upgrade the system:
sudo aptitude upgrade
reboot the system:
sudo reboot

then test it.
