UbuntuStudio 7.04 will not complete a bootup immediately upon install completion. The bootup shows its special splash screen and hides all the system messages (GAWD I hate that). Anyway, when the splash screen disappears, the screen flashes with some patterns a few times and then goes to a black screen and nothing ever shows again.
I used a Knoppix to look at a few things. I could not see anything wrong in the xorg.conf file (but when I tried in studio's recover mode to dpkg-reconfigure xserver, there was an indication it was not installed). I looked at studio's logs (from Knoppix) to try to determine what the problem was. Obviously the release has a configuration problem but perhaps not the reason for my failure.
Any ideas?
