I got news, I hibernated my machine when I went from work and when I came home and woke the machine from hibernation the machine was working flawlessly.
The main point being that at the same time I noticed an Intel Display Driver update from edgers repository which solved this particular issue. I also attached my dpkg.log. The particular update that solved my issue is occured at 2012-10-22 21:39:40. ** Attachment added: "dpkg.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1069466/+attachment/3410172/+files/dpkg.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069466 Title: All text displayed on black background text totally unreadable Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubunt 12.04 worked just flawlessly untill the latest update of the system. All text is now displayed on a black background, making the system unworkable. For the time being i have to switch back to using windows, for i cannot wait untill this problem is fixed or to investigate myself at the moment. I've attached a couple of screenshots to show what happens. If possible please provide a quick work-around untill this problem is fixed.
