Hello Everyone,
Didn't expect this would happen in LTS version of Ubuntu.
2 days back, I upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04, evrything seemed to work fine for 2 days until today morning. Last night I installed "Cairo Dock" from Ubuntu Software Centre on my friend's advice. In the night it worked fine, then I went for sleep after shutting down my laptop.
Today morning, I woke up and booted my laptop, wallpaper comes and then suddenly a pop-up window saying something about "Compiz" and "OpenGL". One statement from that window that I remember is "Do you want to continue without Compiz?" I had to press YES or NO from the options given. I pressed NO as I didn't care much about this. Didn't know what this NO would do.
Suddenly it hangs, and it restarts and then only console coming at the time of boot, requesting for user-name and password. I logged in from there and checked my files if they are safe or not. Tried ls command and checked in directories , everything is there. BUT Graphics is not there.
I tried going to graphics mode through recovery mode, but no help. Same console coming.
My laptop details are::
Dell Inspirion 15R 1st Generation. No Nvidia drivers. Using obly Ubuntu 10.04 sice last 1 year and it worked very fine. Hoping that this 12.04 wouldn't give much pain.
Somebody please advise me.
