I recently updated to ubuntu 13.10 from 12.10 (second time I've ever updated) but when it was done and restarted, the computer boots, passes the buntu splash and goes into a black screen that has absolutely nothing, and no keyboard commands will work.
I have assumed it was fault of unity because my NVIDIA GeForce fx 5200 can't run Unity 3D which I discovered after updating from 12.04 to 12.10. At that time however I was still able to use the keyboard to log out and/or access terminal then change to gnome fallback. Using my assumption I tried to edit the GDE and LightDM to either stop the auto login process or use gnome fallback by default.
Alas, it didn't work and still boots to a black screen.
I've searched far and wide and see nothing that seems to be helpfull to my situation, not that I can easily interpret anyways ie. Step by step help. I don't even know which DM the system is trying to use.
My only available usage of the system is the group as it won't boot to recovery either.
Anyone who can walk me though personally I'd gladly appreciate it.
