Hi.
I'm somewhat experienced with Ubuntu (I have had it installed on my laptop for a while) however, I'm having a problem with installing it on my desktop machine. The installation is successful, however when I boot it I only see orange (the base color of the default wallpaper) screen except for the top 10-ish pixels, there I can see a part of the mouse when I move it to the top. I then pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1 to reboot it but nothing appears on the screen so I just entered my user and password blindly and then "sudo reboot" following with my password again and it rebooted, so it's functioning it just doesn't display anything.
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem? something to do with display drivers maybe?
I installed it from an usb thumb drive which I made bootable with "Make startup disk" in my laptop, and used an Ubuntu 11.10 amd64 iso image from ubuntu.com.
Computer pecs:
Amd Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition
Sapphire Radeon HD 6850
MSI 870A-G54 mainboard
16GB ram
Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Edit: I installed on ext2 partition if that matters.
