Hello!

Yesterday (2010-May-30) I came across with a similar problem, I upgraded
from 9.10 ->10.04 via update manager and rebooted and I see the Ubuntu
logo with the red dots loading (looks awful and I assume that is
loading) for a few seconds, then the screen goes black (no login screen)
I just get the login prompt.

So I decided to do a fresh install, on another computer I burned the
ISOs, but when I tried the livecd the desktop never loads, it just goes
into a black screen, then the command line appears I have tried the live
CD i386 & amd64 and same result.

Have tried it on several desktop and laptops, so I figure the ISOs are
corrupted, so tried burning new ones on a different machine and I get
the same result.

Some quick details of the machines I have tried the 10.04 ISOs:

Toshiba laptop - nVidia video card P4HT 2GB Ram
Toshiba laptop - Ati video card C2D 4GB Ram
Asus desktop - Asus video card C2D 4GB Ram
Dell laptop - intel video card C2Q 8GB Ram
HP desktop - intel video card C2Q 4GB Ram

So I downloaded and burned the ISOS for 9.10 on the machine that I
burned the 10.04 ISOS, and the freshly 9.10 burned ISOs work just fine
(so I can assume that my DVDRW unit is working properly) all machines
are up and running fine with 9.10.

Also tried on some friends laps/desktops and nope, I get the Ubuntu
screen with the red dots for a moment, then it just goes back to a black
screen with the promp.

No error messages appear either with the installed or running the
livecd, and no desktop or login screen ever appears.

Anyone have an idea of what the problem might be?
