I recently upgraded from Lubuntu 12.10 to 13.10 using


sudo apt-get dist-upgrade


After this, the login screen wouldn't come up. It would flash the background and the mouse, then the screen would go black and stay black. After searching for hours, I decided to try upgrading again to 14.04 to see if that would fix it. It didn't.

I used


sudo apt-get do-release-upgrade

To upgrade to 14.04. I get a login screen now, but if I try to login, the screen tears then freezes. The mouse is the only thing working. I can switch to another runtime, however.

Please help, as I need this laptop for school tomorrow morning for my web development class! My only other option is to use my Samsung Galaxy to program, which isn't fun at all.

The forum is in a busy mood at the moment, the staff have noticed.
