Hello,
I am having an interesting problem with my new ubuntu 9.10 install.
I was able to boot up the live CD and install the OS to the hard disk. *Single boot
After I rebooted, the system loads up to the Ubuntu splash screen and will “eventually” move along. The problem is that once it moves past the splash screen, it starts blacking out the screen. It looks like the screen turns on for about 10 seconds and then off for another 10 seconds repeatedly. The screen blinks like this indefinitely.
This is my first attempt at installing and or using Linux so I am an uber n00b. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
** Also, I am able to ctrl + alt + f1 and get to the terminal so i should be able to run any commands without any trouble.
