Hi,
I tried upgrading to 11.04 from 10.10 via update manager. The update seemed fine until I rebooted. It did not allow me to boot. After Grub I get a blank screen. No key stroke(or combination) works including Ctrl+alt+del . Booting into recovery mode is slightly different ina sense that in place of dark screen i get colored lines and only key stroke being recognised is Ctrl+alt+del , which reboots the system. I tred editting the grub kernel line with nomodeset and deleting the last to options(no splash vt=7). This allowed me to get to command line. I am able to Log in.
Tried to edit grub in /etc/default
sudo gedit grub
response is
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display
What do i do now ?
My system specs
DELL 6400 Intel Core 2 Duo , 2 GB Ram, 160 GB HDD, NVIDIA Go 7300 Vidio card with 128mb video ram. Vista dual boot. Vista works Fine. 10.10 worked fine too.
