stuck on tty1 in Ubuntu 10.10
I have just switched from edubuntu to the regular desktop version 64 bit 10.10 version. I installed the OS and then installed all my updates and configured everything back to the way I had it in edubuntu and also activated my ATI driver. I then rebooted and I became stuck in tty1 and I have read everything through the forums about other people having the same problem and I find nothing that works for me. when i looked at my /var/log/Xorg.0.log this is what I got:
