I have this machine at least for last 6 months and its relatively new machine. I had 11.04 working perfectly fine and 11.10 with some minor issues. Since yesterday I started noticing some weired problems in desktop after the update. Decided to reboot and dont get get my desktop back at all.
I decided to do a fresh install and live cd boots fine and shows me the desktop and ui in general as expected. However when I boot from hard disk, I dont get graphics environment at all.
I can login from terminal prompt and can ssh to the box. So it seems to be working normally apart from window manager part.
Tried irc, a kind person - holstein walked me thru basic triage, but gave up finally.
Can provide any details, log files if required.
please help.
