Ubuntu hangs prior to GUI login - (after installing zlib-1.2.5 from source)
I am (er..was) running Ubuntu lucid on two Dell latops (Inspirion 9400, 2gb & 512mb ram respectively), they have now both hang prior to the gdm login.
This happened on the one machine after installing some libs from source, so I tried rebooting after each install on the other machine.I suspect zlib-1.2.5, but I don't know how to resolve this as recovery mode also hangs with a black screen.
Has anyone seen this before - googling this problem has brought me no joy :(
Any advice is welcome!
My setup:
HW: Dell Inspirion 9400 Laptop - 2GB - 80GB - 2x1.8MHz i686
SW: Grub with Ubuntu Desktop 10.4 LTS, PureDyne, WinXPsp3
Thx, Mik
