Hi,
I've just upgraded my 9.10 installation to 10.04 Alpha 3.
Unfortunately, when I now reboot the system, instead of being presented with the login screen, I just end up at a blank screen with a mouse cursor. The 'bongo drum' login sound prompt can be heard, but there's no display.
If I switch terminals using ctrl-alt-f1 then ctrl-alt-f7, the login screen then appears. I can then select my name, enter password. The system then attempts to log me in, before returnng to the login prompt. If I try again, login is successful. This is repeatable every time - ie, login always successful on the second attempt, and every time I boot, I have to switch terminals..
I know that 10.04 is Alpha so I'm expecting a few wrinkles - I'm just curious as to what's happening and what I could do to collect information for a bug report - I don't know where to begin.
The machine itself is an IBM ThinkPad T60 with Intel graphics.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin.
