Question #79353 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/79353

Summary changed to:
Ubuntu freezes on startup - shows Windows desktop background!

Description changed to:
 I'm running 9.04 Jaunty on a Compaq V4000 notebook. The OS has been
running flawlessly. I also have Windows XP on the same notebook, there
are two separate partitions and I nearly always run Ubuntu. I have
recently had an update in ubuntu and I restarted the PC into Windows,
then when I rebooted back into Ubuntu the splash screen displays, the
progress bar goes all the way to the end, then the screen flickers
several times and what is left is a frozen image of the windows desktop
background, albeit quite fuzzy. I think this is very strange. To date I
have tried to repair the graphics setup & grub using recovery mode to no
avail. I have attached a photo as I think this is a strange and unique
problem. I have turned off the splash screen and everything (except
starting firestarter) seems to load. I have attempted to enable boot
logging, however, whenever I enter the bootlog the file is blank.
