10.04 Automatically boots into "Recovery Mode"

[that0n3guy]

Everytime I try to run Ubuntu, it goes into a screen with Recovery Mode and the only way to get into the graphical enviornment is by selecting "failsafeX" at which point it says


(EE) /dev/fb0: No such file or directory

Could anyone be so kind as to help me fix this. :KS

I'm having the same problem. However in my case, there is a timeout for GRUB as I have Ubuntu and Windows side-by-side. So when the boot menu comes up, instead of one Ubuntu entry and one recovery mode entry, I now have two entries for recovery mode.

Although for you, you can try

startx
or

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

After booting into console from the recovery menu.

However, I was wondering if someone else had a way to permanently fix this.
