When booting Ubuntu 10.10 from the live CD everything works Great.

Toshiba Satellite A105-S2071 Video card - ATI Xpress 200M

When I run the 10.10 installation routine it installs without errors. When I reboot I get to the login screen. I then login. It makes the boot sound and then I am left with a background screen with a moveable cursor an nothing else. I have no panels, no icons, nothing.

If I boot into safe mode the Gnome shell loads.

I suspect its a video issue but I don't know where to go from here

Adding nomodeset to grub fixed the problem

gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Change the following line from

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

to

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"

Save the file. Reboot and you should be good to go.
