Hi I had started using Ubuntu as my main OS and of late I have seen while booting 10.04 it just shows a black screen I have to press the power button once again and then power button once again to get it up an running, I browsed the net and landed on the link which is shown below. They have asked me to replace quite and splash with nomodeset, which I did and my ubuntu does boot up, however while booting up now it shows lots of text scrolling past the screen while it is booting. Is this normal ? Since the OS shows black screen almost once in a day I need to wait for a couple of more days to know for sure if it is completely fixed.
