Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I have an Acer aspire 1551 notebook


  Ubuntu worked fine until now.

  It will not boot.


  It boots until the music sounds, and the login screen

  is supposed to appear, then it just locks up.


  The strange part is that both the installed version and

  the USB ubuntu live version fail at the same point.

  I even tried two versions of Ubuntu live on USB.


  Windows 7 however works fine.


  I think something must have happened to the hardware

  That will not load ubuntu,but will load windows


       ANY IDEAS?


  About the only thing I did different on my last session was

  to install wine and then install Textpad in wine




  This problem gets stranger


   I tried ubuntu 11.4 and 10.04.2  on live USB

  they would not boot failing at the same spot


   Today I tried ubuntu 9.10 Surprisingly it booted live.

  The screen was not quite right(the toolbars at top and bottom

  were missing) So I powered down and booted again.This time the

  screen was ok.


   I pulled out the USB stick and booted into the installed ubuntu 10.04

  This time it worked.


    I have no idea what Rel 9.10 did to fix it, as I did nothing but use
the

  file browser while in Rel 9.10



    Further into this problem


    I discovered today what causes the problem.I closed the computer
screen

  While in a Ubuntu session.

    After raising the screen the screen was dimly lit.


    I shutdown ,and when I rebooted into ubuntu, the boot seized in the
same way.

  I now think this is how the problem happened the first time.


    Hope this gives someone a clue on how to fix it.
