Ubuntu hangs at purple screen after reboot
Asked by
Alexander Seaton
I upgraded from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 yesterday and the installation went fine (and it rebooted properly into ubuntu). However every time I've rebooted since and attempted to load Ubuntu it appears to start loading (i.e. the disk is active) but never gets past a purple screen and the disk activity ceases. The computer is still responsive in a sense as if I press ctrl + alt + del it will restart, but nothing else. I can get it to work by going into recovery mode and logging in that way. Additionally, removing the 'quiet' option in grub has no effect and I still only see the purple screen.
