Hi,
I installed ubuntu 7.10 from cd 2 days ago. I have upgraded ubuntu to 8.04 by going to system>admin>update manager.
However, now i cannot boot up ubuntu. I am dual booting with windows vista and i have the os selector. Unlike in 7.10 i have two non recovery options to chose for ubuntu:
ubuntu 8.04, kernal 2.6.24-16-generic and
ubuntu 8.04, kernal 2.6.22-14-generic.
The former is the experience the problems i am describing the latter doesn't recognise my graphics card.
So getting to the point, if i choose ubuntu it takes me to the login screen. I login fine then the screen goes blue and a cream window appears in the top right of the screen. If i put the cursor over this window it changes to the "I". Ubuntu will not progress any further with the booting.

I tried booting in recovery mode and running the fix and every time i run it, it says: "x server-org postinst warning: overriding possible customized configuration file; backup in /etc/x11/xorg.conf.20080527171354"
Specs:
Graphics Card: Nividia geForce 8400M GT GPU
CPU: dual core 1.8GHz
Ram: 2GB
Any ideas on what i can try?
Thanks
