I've suffered this bug many times (on various Ubuntu releases), but
stubbornly I hope every time jockey will work. FWIW, I selected option 1
"ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver (post-release updates)".
After rebooting, my screen would go blank after loading ubuntu (the last
thing I saw was the splash screen with the dots).

To solve this, I:
-booted in system recovery mode
-dropped to shell prompt
-mounted the filesystem (I don't know why it was only available as read-only): 
mount -o rw,remount /
-removed all packages with "fglrx" string in its name: apt-get purge fglrx*
-reboot

And everything was back to normal.

Thanks
