Hi,
I have just installed the Ubuntu 8.10 desktop (stable release) on my Thinkpad X30 and I have a problem with it. Installation goes fine and systems starts ok but when I put my username and password on the login screen Gnome seems to be loading for couple of seconds, I can see and move the mouse cursor and than the whole thing just stops. I can only see black backgroud and no panels/icons/etc. There's no disk activity and I cannot use Ctrl + Alt + Backspace or Ctrl + Alt + Fx although I can move the cursor. The only option is to hard reset the computer.
I had exactly the same issue with the last beta and RC of Ibex but couldn't find a working solution so far (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6041597) even though I've found couple of threads describing similar problems.
This is very frustrating and effectively prevents me from upgrading to the newest version of Ubuntu. Any help will be much apreciated.
Thanks
