boot stops at "checking battery state"

Checking Battery State
sorry

What GPU do you use?

NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT

Did you install proprietary drivers then reboot and it started happening?

I upgraded through the update manager so what ever video driver it was using
at the time.
I am guessing nvidia 173 recommended driver.
I upgraded my desktop the same way last week to 11.04 then to 11.10 it has
the same driver with no problems.
Thanks for your time.

I can also provide xorg backup if needed.

I suggest you uninstall the nvidia driver. They very rarely survive upgrading to the next release and cause issues like this. Once you boot using the open driver, you can then reinstall the proprietary driver.

I have solved this problem myself.
i booted to command line I then copied xorg.conf.failsafe to xorg.conf.
Then normal boot.
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe //etc/X11/xorg.conf

I have been using unity for few days now. My opinion Gnome 2xx much better.

sorry 1 to many / before 2nd etc.

That was pretty simple and straight forward..but was late as i had to reinstall the OS with ext4
Thanks and will keep in my reference notes... but as mentioned earlier nvidia is always a problem in linux... and could not find any solution to that..
Thanks
