Hi,
if you are at a blank screen you are most likely at run level 2 or 3, to start Ubuntu to the normal desktop, type your normal user name where the "Login" prompt is, then type your password, another prompt will start and look something like:
fred@woifman:
Now type the following command:
(The above command is working on the assumption that you hadn't booted into an "X" (GUI) environment already!.)
then type:
and then enter your root password and the PC will boot into a normal GUI desktop and/or a normal GUI login screen depending on how you set things up as regards to autologin etc!.
If "X" was already running, you don't need to type "startx".
Regards Wolfman
