Hi both, Thanks for responding so quick, helpfull and clear.
First: the problem seems 'fixed'. I (re)installed three times. The third time after Fabio's post. Only thereafter booting went fine. To help in the event that the problem reapears in someone elses or my computer, I will still give the feedbak you asked for. Fabio, the checksum was oke. The /var/log/installer files are attached. Dave, the /var/log/lightdm files are attached. What happened: The live session started fine (first it didn't.) Thereafter I installed the system. I did reboot (after saving the files Fabio asked for.) And all worked fine. The difference with the second time I installed the system was: - In the bios I disabled all wireless functions in the laptop - I didn't let the installer install upgrades - I installed when I was in a live session After the system was installed and I had rebooted, I turned on the wireless functions in the laptop bios. And I installed all available upgrades. I don't know if the above made the difference. But these are the only differences I am aware of between the install which does work and the one which didn't. Thanxs for hinting me in a direction which turned out to be a suprise solution! ** Attachment added: "/var/log/installer files" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/880359/+attachment/2568752/+files/Installer%20logs.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880359 Title: Fresh install ubuntu ocelot (11.10) hangs on booting on dell XPS m1530 Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I installed ubuntu oneiric ocelot from scratch (the option in the installer to replace the current ubuntu version.) Installing went fine (no problems reported.) But the system never totally booted after installing it. After some seconds, the (empty) purple screen appairs, and thereafter a text screen with some lines (I will attach a screen shot), and then nothing happens. I can only reboot from there using ctrl-alt-delete. By using the the safe mode to boot, I was able to reach the command line. I used apt-get to do the available upgrades. That made no difference to the above. Does anyone else experience this? Does anyone know the solution?
