I boot up on 11.04 after a fresh install due to some issues, anyway reinstalled went smoothly on install except now I have no GUI!!! please help tried going through recovery mode and still completely a black screen... So looks like any solution will have to be done with a live CD of a flash drive... Please help me

What graphics card do you have installed?

Please also do the following:

Boot the Ubuntu Live CD/USB. Choose the option "Try Ubuntu without any changes." Once the desktop loads come back here and do the following:

1. Download the boot info script which is in a zipped file. There is a link in my signature.
2. Once downloaded, move the boot info script by either copying or dragging and dropping the zipped folder onto the desktop and unzip the contents by using right-click Extract here.
3. Open the folder and copy the script to the desktop (you can also drag and drop if you like)
4. Open a terminal and run the following command


sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script.sh

This will create a RESULTS.txt file on the desktop. Paste the entire contents of that file back here in a new post. Once pasted highlight all text and click the # sign on the toolbar to place code tags around the text.

Have you tried using nomodeset?

Here is the link, let me know if that makes a difference:
