Thanks for all your help so far. Have changed my sources.list to point to archive.ubuntu.com and have dist-upgraded. There are no new updates now.
I am getting past the GDM login screen again but once I try to login it hangs at the wallpaper. Cursor is not an arrow this time, though. Cursor is the busy/working ball and the segments are frozen (not moving round like they normally do). Still unable to switch to a console session from that point. -- X fails to start on Macbook 2,1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/324694 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
