Well SLogger, I'm glad that worked for you, but removing 'splash' from the boot line (or any other modification of it I've been able to dream up so far) has not had any effect for me; I still cannot access any of the console screens.
I still get the same blank screen after the cursor shows up for a second in the top left corner, no sound, and not able to do anything. It's a workaround worth trying if you're experiencing this problem, but it is by no means a solution; at least not until we get several other success stories from using it. -- Install 6:10 Failure: Black screen at Live Desktop Stage https://launchpad.net/bugs/67487 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
