I'd guess that it hasn't got a driver for your graphics card, or finds something amiss when it tries to detect your graphics. Could you be short on RAM? Type "free" at the prompt to find out. It can't run a GUI if you don't have enough memory. Beyond this, I can't help. There is a group alt.os.linux.ubuntu, but it is not archived by google. -- John Savage (my news address is not valid for email)
