[Bug 483451] Re: Ubuntu fails to load after white logo splash screen.
Ricardisimo: Updating to grub2 was a one-time fix for me when I tried it a couple months ago. After a second try, ubuntu once again was failing to boot. However, with the Lucid release this issue seems to had some more attention from other people new to ubuntu installing it, and coincidentally I found a fix. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1461029page=2 Instructions reposted here: To get into Ubuntu in the first place without using a LiveCD: 1. When you see the purple box with the little keyboard and person, hit a key to enter options. 2. Choose your language. 3. Verify you have chosen Try Ubuntu without any changes. 4. Press F6. 5. Press Esc to get out of the menu that pops up. 6. Go to the end of the commandline (with arrow keys if necessary) and type: i915.modeset=1 (no quotes). 7. Hit Enter and pray hard. If you receive an error message at this point that says Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode. Click OK, and then choose to Troubleshoot the error. Then choose to Edit the configuration file. Change vesa to intel and click ok. Then I closed, cancelled and the hit Restart X. To fix Grub and permanently remove this error: Now you need to edit your GRUB config to make that change permanent.

[Bug 483451] Re: Ubuntu fails to load after white logo splash screen.
There was a linux-firmware update today that seemed like it might be pertinent to this issue. After updating, I switched my menu.list to 0 for the default kernel, which is to say the newest one instead of 2.6.31.14. Then I rebooted - twice. So far so good. I have my doubts about how permanent this resolution is, since it has happened before, only to have the problem come back.

Well, as expected, that lasted exactly two bootings. The problem is back, and no one here is responding. As far as I am concerned this is a dead thread. feel free to close.

[Bug 483451] Re: Ubuntu fails to load after white logo splash screen.
Very little to report, but here it is: Just before the latest kernel upgrade, I was able to get 2.6.31.17 to load normally. Then, 2.6.31-19-generic came along and was also working perfectly... for less than a week. I have no idea what change allowed the newer kernels to start up, nor what subsequent change undid that progress. And, as I've stated numerous times in this thread, until someone - anyone - says hello and asks me to follow some simple instruction, I won't know where to begin. For now I am still having to load kernel 2.6.31.14, and still wondering if Fedora or Windows 7 isn't a possible alternative.

Something - and I don't know what - changed the the default num in my menu.lst.

Latest update: 2.6.31-16 provided some relief for a few days here on this same machine, but no longer. I have no idea what caused a renewal of this same problem, but it started with major, MAJOR problems trying to print OOo Writer documents (screen flashing wildly, then the entire system seizing up), after which I used synaptic to remove most, if not all components of Ubuntu OpenOffice.org. I then tried restarting my system, and couldn't. 2.6.31-16 has not been successful since then. I now have to start under 2.6.31-14 every time once again.

So, I've tried it a few more times, and so far 2.6.31-14 is loading properly every time, and 2.6.31-15 fails almost every time.
