Hello all. On Friday I was prompted to do the upgrade and I did it. I was working and was at a point I could restart as asked, and I did. Now I have a black screen and can't get anywhere. I have downloaded the liveCD for 10.04 and this is a massive failure. All I have is about a .25 inch wide space that I have any video of. And this is trying to just run from the disc or trying to do a clean install.

I am getting pretty aggravated and ready to scrap the whole system and re-install 9.10 if necessary. The ONLY thing I see is the new Kubuntu loading screen. Nothing else.

Well, it looks like I solved it. I don't know how, but I did. Finally was able to boot into a recovery mode and told it to fix broken packages. Then installed the repository nVidia drivers, and rebooted. Things are good now.
