Hey everyone.. just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04LTS and upon first reboot it gets stuck at the splash screen.. it just keeps loading over and over, nothing happens.
I don't have the liveCD as I just did the download from the internet via Synaptic Software
this is what I tried:
hit ESC when GRUB menu loads.. tried to hit "e" on the boot option and nothing happens.. I was told changing quite splash to nomodeset would fix it but it doesn't even say quiet splash, unless someone wants to walk me through it.
I'm soo frustrated, I have tons of e-mails and documents that I need to save.
is there a fix to get me back in just so I can copy my emails and docs and do a fresh install?
I'm about to switch back to Windows XP at this point...
help help help
