Hi Everyone,
I have just purchased a new Dell M1330 along with a Lexar 16GB Express Card with the intention of dual booting with Hardy Ubuntu installed on the flash drive. The install appeared to work successfully and I can continue to boot into Vista ok however when I boot into Ubuntu I get the login screen ok but when I then login I just get a blank brown desktop with no further errors or prompts. I have tried researching this issue myself but without an error to search on I am not sure where to start. I have tried reinstallation 3 times today with the same result. Booting of the live CD works fine too which is the confusing thing! Has anyone seen and possibly resolved this issue themselves??? Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to troubleshoot or fix this???
Thanks Guys!
Ben
