I just ran a fresh install of UbuntuGnome 14.04.1 from a USB stick (created by PenDriveLinux Universal USB Installer) and for the life of me I can't get to the GUI login prompt. (It looks like it's going to get there, but I wait and wait and all I see is this turquoise triangular wallpaper pattern - and a grey screen with the pointer). I was able to CTRL-ALT-F2 into tty2 and login without an issue, but I don't presently have wifi / internet setup so I'm working off my liveUSB and I'm much more familiar with GUI options than command line. Can anyone help me find out how to get the GUI login working? failing that, any ideas on how to boot to a different desktop environment?
Thanks in advance for your help
