perhaps this is a framebuffer problem. could you please tell us what graphics hardware you're using? Please attach the output of "lspci -vv" (without the quotes) using the website.
Also, the output of "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf|grep Driver" (again without the quotes). Lastly, if you use CTRL+ALT+F1 to get to tty1 and then hit enter several times, does the login prompt come into view? ** Changed in: yard (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- tty doesn't work https://launchpad.net/bugs/58809 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
