    EEEPC Reaching Logon Screen Then not Loading GUI

    I have recently installed UNR onto my Asus EEEPC 901, the first two times that i used UNR it worked perfectly booting up quickly and working correctly, now it reaches the Logon screen and i input my username and password but the it does not load the gui and i cannot access anything.

    Thanks Adam

    Sounds like an x-server problem... Have you changed anything about your xorg.conf file lately?

    You can boot into "recovery mode" (forget if that's the exact wording) from the GRUB menu and reconfigure your x-server...

    I havent touched a sngle config file, all i have used the netbook for is to check that it worked. I have got to the recovery mode but now it has given me a list of options:

    resume normal boot
    try to make free space
    repair broken packages
    file system check
    update grub bootloader
    drop to root shell prompt with networking
    drop to root shell prompt
    try to auto repair graphic problems

    which do i choose?

    I have selected that option and a black screen with some writing pooped up. Now i am back at that menu now. Should I continue with normal boot now?

    Boot into text mode and try

    Code:
    sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
    If that doesn`t work try

    Code:
    startx
