SYSTEM INFO:
Windows XP pro and Ubuntu 11.10 dual boot
nVidia Graphics card
emachines T2482


OK, so today, i boot up my computer and i get the grub 2 boot menu as usual. I select Ubuntu and i get a black screen with a white cursor blinking in the corner. So i booted up my LiveCD and searched for the problem on the internet. I found that since I have nVidia graphics card, I can edit the boot script line that says:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1
2
splash quiet quiet splash

(idk if that was the exact code, but it was similar)

and replaced it with:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1
2
nomodeset

It showed text now and got hung up at:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1
2
Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... done

Does anyone know whats going on? (it was working for a few days before this happened)

First of all, does it stay like that if you wait a bit?
It *can* be that its just busy checking your harddisk for errors, so that takes a little while.

Also, editing the file while not help right away, you need to use update-grub after that. But this isn't so easy when you are on the live-cd.
If it doesn't boot after some time, try if you can boot with the recovery option. Just notify us when its that far.

If you press ctrl-alt-f2 while it shows those messages, does it drop you to a shell?

No it does not. I have rebooted twice and tried and it still wont drop me to shell. Like i said in the post, ctrl+alt+del doesn't force reboot either

Very very strange.
What happens if you go to recovery, wait for the menu and choose continue?

OK, i turned it off [the computer] cuz it seems to be frozen again. Undecided

It seems like it might be a kernel problem.

What i want to do now is reinstall ubuntu but keep things such as personal settings. Does anyone know how to go about this?
