[Nvidia] VAIO Z690, Ubuntu won't reach login screen
Had a perfect installation of Windows 7 65bit.
Decided to add Ubuntu 64 bit boot option.
Laptop less than 1 year old Sony VAIO VGN-Z690.
Installation went perfect. After install Ubuntu was running. After activating the NVIDIA recommended drivers and rebooting...Nada. Then below is what happens.
I get my boot option
Select Ubuntu
Cursor (top left)
Ubuntu logo (middle screen)
[OK] (top right of screen)
Ubuntu 10.10 "name of PC" tty1 (left screen)
"name of PC" login: _ (left screen next line)
NOTE - I have replaced the actual name of my PC above because this is a public forum and I don't want to give it out.
If I select enter this just repeats.
I don't know what the login is or why it would ask for one.
Without the login the password is never accepted.
I've tried repeating the actual name I gave the PC as the login but Ubuntu says that the two don't match and why would I need a login here.
I've been installing Ubuntu for multiple generations for a while now and dual boot is nothing new to me.
This is the 3rd VAIO PC I've installed 10.10 on in the past 3 months that has been crapped by the software. BTW no solutions on my other two problems as well. I am no where near a LInux advanced user and I'm starting to think I should never dual boot.
How can I completely remove this Ubuntu installation if this cannot be fixed?
thanks
PJB
