Thank you Dan Fouquette that worked like a champ! I wasn't sure how to get to the Recovery Mode, until I hit the 'Esc' key in the 3 seconds before the system auto-boots. Then once in Recovery Mode picked the Command Line with Root option. Finally did your one liner
sudo apt-get remove compiz compiz-core I hit Y to conifrm. Then once it did its magic and removed compiz I typed reboot then pressed enter and booted up Ubuntu 8.10, logged in without the black screen of death. -- Got a black screen with Ubuntu 8.10 beta LIVE CD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277699 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
