Ubuntu boots into command line instead of X.
- by Ethan Turkeltaub
I posted this on the Ubuntu forums and they had no good answer. I hope you guys have a solution!
On my relatively new install, it's
booting into command line instead of
X--again.
This is the reason I reinstalled in
the first place. This has happened to
me three times now.
So, I boot up and it gets past GRUB,
past the glowing Ubuntu option, then
it prompts me for my username, then
password. I run:
startx
And that starts the GUI for about a
minute, then it runs the GUI login
system.
To add to the mess, the network-applet
is not shown in the panel.
Additionally, Chrome will not launch
(I ran Firefox from the terminal).
What's the problem here?
