blank screen after logon

[Nortesidin]

Installed ubuntu mobile 3 times, once off of a USB, second off of a burned ubuntu netbook cd, third off of a ubuntu 10.10 official cd. all three had the issue. as soon as i log on to ubuntu, all i see is my cursor and the background and nothing else.. tried searching and tried a few suggested things, but to no benefit.. What's next? thank you for the help

Don't try to run an obsolete Ubuntu. It is a security threat.

Most likely you need to add boot options:
