So, I installed ubuntu 11.04 recently. A few days later, I get a notification on my desktop saying that I should upgrade to 11.10. I think, "why not?" So, I install it, and now I have quite the problem. The first problem, is when I select to boot up ubuntu (I'm dual booting with ubuntu and windows 7), I just get a black screen with a few texts. These text are saying stuff like checking bluetooth [ok], and things like that. However, nothing happens after. So, I have to go to terminal and enter startx. This is the only way to get past the black screen. The problems only get worse after this. For one, it won't let me connect to my internet via wireless. I also have no sound.
Today, I decided to download 11.10 from the website, and burned it to a dvd. I restarted my computer and ran it. Ubuntu works perfectly.
Is there a way to reinstall ubuntu 11.10? I heard there was a special way to remove ubuntu because I did the full installation and dual boot thing. Unless there isn't. What should I do? (I've also noticed that it installed the 32bit version. The CD had 64bit... not sure if this helps out or not.)
