I am running Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty, and I have a strange issue where the boot process stalls on after the Ubuntu splash screen finishes loading.

Just tell us if you have done something lately on the X11 service configuration file , or if you tried to activate compiz effects. Just tell us more about your acts lately.

Waiting for you.

I'm new to Linux. So can you tell me what are those X11 configuration files? What is that compiz effects? I only did some updates. In some, in there descriptions, I saw they have mentioned that there will be updates for X11. In simple words, I saw the word 'X11' in the descriptions of packages.

Hope this will be usefull to provide me some advice.

Thanks

X11 (or xorg) is the program that manages video cards , it is the graphic client under any Linux system. I see that the updates you have made recently damaged this service. I think you should reinstall Jaunty because we have no access to the graphical interface without this service.

If you reinstall Jaunty , the next time do this before the update:
=====================================================
go to system->administration->software sources; and the the next showed in this image:

& this one too:

After doing that close the window; a message will be shown to you , click on on reload. and after it finishes dowloading necessary files , go and make an update. This will correct many errors in jaunty as this problem .
=====================================================

And if you don't want to reinstall it , wait for someone else to help you.

Good Luck.

Can I know what are those X11 configurations files? And where they reside? I don't won't reinstall OS again because it'll remove some of my important files. Anyway thanks for your help so far.

OK , the main file resides here :

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

If you can access with nautilus , go to that folder and delete the file , and you'll file in the same folder named: xorg.conf.save rename to xorg.conf

Good Luck.
