    Boot hangs at Running local boot scripts

    I know others have posted this but I have yet to see an answer. I am running Kubuntu 7.04. Everything worked fine, until just one more tweak I installed Bootup Manager (BUM) ran it, but did not shut down any starting process. I was just looking. I did uninstall brltty and ppp through Adept. Upon reboot, it goes through almost everything with [ok], nvidia splash screen displays, timer runs the back to command line. The screen displays Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) as the last entry. ENTER does nothing. I can type words but login and password do not do anything. If I alt-F1 I can get CL, login and type StartX This gets me directly into my GUI. BUT if I get command line, login and type envy -t then hit option 7, Restart X, I get the GUI login screen instead of going directly to my profile. Some how the restart X option goes to a different place than StartX.

    On shut down from StartX solution it goes back to cli. On shutdown from envy -t it goes back to GUI login screen, then shutdown or restart from there goes to cli.

    I have seen suggested solutions to double check the tty1-tty6 and make sure they are written correctly with the exec on the correct line. All of them checked out. NVIDIA Driver works fine still, is latest version. xorg.conf still gives me my dual monitors. Network, samba, everything is ok.

    Although a relative newbie (using it for about a year), I am comfortable enough to explore all the startup scripts if someone can point me in the right direction.

    Thanks

    To start "somewhere", I'd temporarily replace your version of rc.local by the original, "empty" file ...
    if this were making any difference, you'd know where to look for the culprit (?).

      Replaced rc.local. No effect. Open to any suggestions, short of reinstall at this point. My system is usable, just not exactly the way I want.

        After much searching I hit on the problem. Something I uninstalled had removed Ubuntu-minimal. Upon reinstalling it the graphic login is back.
