Hey all,

I just bought a new laptop, ripped Windows off of it, and put the new version of Ubuntu on instead. It seems to be running fine when I can get it to load, but every time I leave my laptop off for an extended period of time (a few hours), when I power on my computer, I need to restart to get the Ubuntu GUI to boot.

When I initially turn it on, I get the purple screen (no text), and it just stays there. I even get the characteristic tone that comes when the log in screen appears, but no prompt to log in. When I restart, it works fine.

Any ideas?

Dave

Are you suspending the laptop or really shutting it down? If you did a shutdown, was it a clean shutdown?
