Sorry folks that I'm not technically proficient enough to specify where the new fglrx I installed and rebooted last night REALLY messes my system up. I do see that my ubuntu boot is of the lucid flavor, but after the splash screen starts (and gets as far as the word UBUNTU and five dots below), I get only vertical stripes. No way to see the login box. For what it's worth, last night's pattern had a lot of white stripes; tonight there's a lot of black between the colored stripes. I can't get into a recovery/safe mode, or even to the prior karmic kernel. I'm writing this now from another machine, though Vista boots fine on that first pc (EVGA 630i MB with onboard Nvidia for what it's worth-- maybe check ubuntuforums for the specs). FYI, it's still working as expected in the Vista boot, likewise using the HDMI cable to the all-in- wonder video/tuner card -- so these stripes aren't a hardware failure. Unfortunately, with the deadlines coming this week, I won't be able to mess around with it for a few days. Should I just try to boot with a Karmic cd to be able to read files on the ubuntu portion of the hard disk, or wait to burn an iso of the release candidate?
