Hi,
I have Kubuntu Dapper running on a little Dell subnotebook. Until yesterday, everything worked well. I was trying to find some tricks to save energy and max out my battery lifetime. What I can remember doing is, I deactivated "hiddenmenu" in the /boot/grub/menu.lst and removed some linux-image files in Synaptic - I left the one with the current kernel number and one just called "linux-image-386". Then I rebooted, the grub menu was somewhat shorter and everything worked all right. I turned down the backlight and to try if the system would remember the backlight setting, I restarted again - and from then on, I got the normal bootsplash, all the loaded modules - up to RAID, I think - and when that was complete, I got a black screen with the Xubuntu logo, a shadow of a progress bar and it stopped there.
Does anybody have an idea what I could have messed up now? If I can't fix it, I'd have to install a new system from USB because the external CD-Rom I have isn't bootable.
Thanks a lot!
Regards,
