Hi Everyone,
I'm pretty good with linux, so it surprised me when my computer acted funny after the upgrade to 8.10. The upgrade went fine as far as I know, and after the computer restarted and loaded up, I got a blank screen with a blinking cursor where the login screen was supposed to be. I was able to login on tty1 though. I looked at the running processes and gdm was running, which made me wonder...
Also, another thing happened, which may be unrelated. When I logged in I tried to get to the internet using w3m, but my network was down. I'm assuming that ubuntu loads the network stuff later on after login or something, so that may not be a problem. Just throwing that out there :)
One thing that may have had something to do with this, although I seriously doubt it, was that on the first attempt to install, I didn't have enough space on /. I only deleted open office and a few games to get the space I needed, nothing that was crucial to the system.
Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Robbie
