Okay, here's the situation. For note, I'm not a major Linux user, but I have gotten used to Ubuntu 8.04.1. Figured this update would be pretty good and standard.
Tried to update automatically, and the loading screen froze at "3 minutes remaining." Couldn't do anything, so I rebooted.
Upon first reboot: Got to the tan screen with an able mouse, but no log-in or anything.
After looking at other posts on this, I went into recovery mode for 8.04.1 and tried using recovery to get things fixed. Did the dpkg, X, etc. Now, when I boot up, after GRUB it goes to the ubuntu loading screen (with the bar that fills up), then it hits black screen with no keyboard responsiveness. Just a black screen.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be. Could it possibly be a monitor compatibility issue? Video drivers? And is there a way to either do updates or revert back to 8.04.1?
