Hi,
I have a Kubuntu 11.10 64 bit installation. It worked for a few days, I did update it every day, no problems. After doing an update today (no "critical" packages it seems), the orange button appeared that Linux should be restarted. After that, Kubuntu wouldn't boot anymore, not even in recovery mode.
The blue Kubuntu boot screen appears for a few seconds, but then the screen goes blank. When I immediately press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to see the what's going on, only one message appears (I can't remember it - nothing important), and then it halts.
The very strange thing is, that the original _unmodified_ USB stick with Kubuntu 11.10 x64 also doesn't start anymore, although this is the same stick I installed Kubuntu from in the first place.
Booting the previous Kubuntu version 11.04 x32 from the stick works. Windows 7 x64 from the HDD also.
System: Intel Sandy Bridge with HD 2000 graphics (that's also used), 8 GB RAM, Kubuntu 11.10 64 bit.
I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem, it seems like Kubuntu 11.10 is a problem child. I had some other issues with the same version on another computer.
Can anyone help? I could boot from an USB stick to read some logfile from the HDD, just tell me which one if you have any idea.
Thanks
