Frozen Login Screen
When I boot up it goes directly to the text screen with a final line that says:
kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot...
After logging in on this screen I then enter sudo kdm and get the login screen where the cursor will not move. The problem started when I upgraded to Hardy last year with the login screen having a fuzzy line across at times. Since updating to Intrepid the login screen froze or went completely blank with a fuzzy background but I managed to get it back by repeatedly rebooting. Now even that has failed. I feel it is something simple with the xserver maybe but I have tried everything suggested in various forums without luck. I have removed compiz with apt-get autoremove thinking that might be a problem but it is not.
I have Mythbuntu and Kubuntu/Ubuntu that was pre-installed. As I upgraded with Synaptic both times I do not have a live cd to re-install.
Really would appreciate some help as I have become extremely keen on Linux and only use Windows on this laptop for fortunately allows me to find help as I have no GUI on my Linux machine
