    Kubuntu is booting directly into command line - no graphics

    Help...I just restarted and all is looking good for the start up procedures until I get to the login stage, its all command line based. The kubuntu splash screen shows when I startup and shutdown, but they are the only graphics i see.

    This is what I get on the display:

    Code:
    Starting up ...

        i have no idea what the problem was, but it wasnt a fresh install and ive restarted plenty of times since installing so i dont know what i did in the last couple of days to stuff everything up.
