Re: after upgrade to 11.04 (64 bit), PC boots into Grub and then into command line..

FWIW, I have this same problem after the upgrade to 11.04 ... However, I have an nVidia card (GeForce 9400 GT). For some reason, I don't think it's xorg or fglrx related. I can't get the login splash screen under the new kernel (2.6.38) but it comes up fine under the 2.6.36 kernel ... which was the kernel under 10.10.

I've fixed this in the past with the kernel parameter:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_enforce_resources=lax"

but that doesn't seem to be working this time. I think it's motherboard related, but I'm still troubleshooting.

I'll watch this thread and if I fix mine, will post an update.

Thanks!

im not sure if there is other output then that. from cli tool its finished when u get back to a prompt (name@machine:$) then you should be able to reboot (with sudo reboot) and when the machine comes up after that (hopefully) you have a working X server.if your not sure if the driver got removed check its status again using the command above.

Well, it was my lack of patience that was the culprit that last time... I just had to wait for the prompt to come back after a while. It worked and I got a clean boot into my trusted old screens..
Thanks for your help, sith!!

i just upgraded on my machine and had the same issue, mine was because the fglrx driver didn't remove correctly if that ever happends it can leave the driver in a broken state, if that happens (like it did to me today ) you can use the command

sudo /usr/share/ati/amd-uninstall.sh --force

to force removal of everything the driver instatlled but only do this if it fails to remove it self

sithlord48 -- Sorry to jump in here again, and now I see the thread is marked solved! Anyway, what is the equivalent of this command for nVidia cards?

Thanks.

not sure how the nvidia driver does it that uses the uninstall script that ati provides as part of their driver..

you can the above commands for jockey-text to find the driver used (--list switch) and the -disable=nvidia_current (or nvidia_173 depending on the one installed)
