Hi,

Do the following:

1. Restart in recovery mode and run "FSCK" then restart again using Ctrl + Alt+ Del.

2. Select recovery mode again and this time select "Drop to root shell" and type the following command:

sudo dpkg --configure -a (write this command down as you will need to enter it in the root shell!!)

and once done, restart again.

3. In recovery mode for the 3rd time, activate "Network" and then "DPKG" and say "Y" when asked, restart again and this time normally and see what happens.

Let us know if this helps.

Regards Wolfman :D

Hi,

just for future reference.

Restart in Advanced Options > Recovery, start the network connection and then click on root shell and enter the following:

sudo apt-get remove fglrx

That should remove any ATI drivers etc from your PC!!.
