Kubuntu won't boot

[traigo]

I was using Kubuntu fine yesterday and for days prior. I made some changes to my ATI drivers and display settings, but had rebooted many times after and no changes since. Today when I try to boot to Kubuntu, it will get past the loading, configuring network connections, etc. Then it comes to a screen with the blue "Kubuntu" and stops. I let it sit for about 5 minutes but it didn't do anything. It used to just go to the login. If I hit ctrl + alt + del it will say stopping services, etc. and reboot.

Please help.

Thanks,

Traigo

Try this fix and let us know if it works.

Re: Kubuntu won't boot

Have you downloaded any recent updates, are you or have you tried using "fglrx", and what version is your card?
After a recent update I had intermittent loading problems with a mobility radeon 9000. I read somewhere that this is a problem with all ATI cards below 9200 or something. To fix I switched from the ATI drivers to fglrx following the directions here...

That fixed the loading problems but caused some video playback problems I fixed by replacing my original "libGL.so.1.2" file with an older version I found here...

If you try this route, after you finish, use the "glxgears" command in a terminal to see if everything looks like it worked.

Re: Kubuntu won't boot

I think I know what the problem is. It won't boot with my monitor connected. I have an ATI mobility radeon x1300. If I connect my monitor and boot, it won't come to the GUI. If I disconnect and boot, it will. I was able to get back into the system but now my wireless card isn't working. I give up for the moment. I'll fight with it later.
