Unable to login after upgrading to Ubuntu 9.04 due to graphic problems

Asked by camambert

Hello

After upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04 I can't login to the system. After the status bar and Ubuntu logo have disappeared, the screen blinks several times, but no login window can be seen, just several lines that by no means seem to be a normal behavior. I rebooted in recovery mode and chose "Try to fix graphics problems" but it didn't work.

What shall I do now in order to have the opportunity to login and to solve graphics problems?

Thank you in advance

As a workaround, so to say, how can I rollback the upgrade?

# Fallback to a minimal X system (e.g. with a vesa driver) if the current xorg.conf fails to start X.

      VESA driver is forced with xforcevesa on the desktop CD. We could of course add this for the installed system too. -- TollefFogHeen

      Perhaps a third choice for the current kernel update in grub in addition to recovery mode, and normal boot could be vesa mode -- TimAlexander

      Just for fun, how about a Kdrive Vesa X server? It'd be like 300K :) --JohnMoser

Can you help with this problem?
