i am running windows 7 home premium on a acer aspire laptop , intel hd graphics. i downloaded and burned kubuntu 10.10 MM iso. i ran it live on cd and it worked fine so i proceeded to install it. the install went fine and said it was done and ejected disc. when i rebooted it came up with blue screen that says kubuntu with little white dots under it like its loading then went into a text based login. i restarted comp. and now everytime it goes through several pages of stuff loading and takes me back to text login , no graphics at all. i enter username and pw and couple lines of stuff popup and it sits there at myname@kubuntu$~ something like that. ive tried a couple things with no luck. startx and startkde take me to a black screen , no mouse cursor or anything. im new to kubuntu and linux and dont know much about them but i am comp. literate. i understand comp lingo and have a pretty good knowledge of computers. if i run it live off the cd it brings up the desktop just fine. i have tried sudo apt-get install kubuntu desktop , sudo add-apt-repository ppa:glasen/intel-driver , and a couple more that i have found in forums on here but no luck i still cant get the desktop up. i really want kubuntu on my sysetem alongside windows so if someone could help me i would appreciate it so much ! i have been trying to get it working for 2 weeks and im not giving up lol. please help me !

Re: Rookie Needs Help
Sounds like plasma's crashing.
At the black screen hit Alt-F2 and type in
plasma-desktop
and see if plasma starts.
cheers -we see things not as they are, but as we are.
