I upgraded my system Firday night from 8.04 to 8.10 and all seemed to go OK.
However, I boot up and there was an error message (did not take down) and the system stopped booting at that point (black screen with the white writing). I then pressed esc on boot up the second time and went into the recovery screen where I clicked ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (recovery mode) and selected recover packages. This seemed to work however, now when I try to boot up I can log in but the screen remains blue and none of the desktop or my icons appear. This is also the case if I select ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic. I have tried changing the login options from the login screen and nothing helps.
Any idea's how I can get my desk top to load up? As I hope that I have not lost everything.
