I installed Ubuntu 11.10 today and used it for a few hours. I restarted the computer and in the screen where you chose the kernel version, the screen is not the Ubuntu purple screen anymore - it shows the Debian logo and when you hit Enter it doesn't start. I tried a fresh reinstall but it happened again.

I beg for help, I'm using Windows to post this (shame on me)

did you install gnome panel. – Deepak Rajput Oct 22 '11 at 5:16
Yes, XFCE and gnome-shell. That could be the cause? – Jesse Oct 22 '11 at 5:18
Because when i install gnome the same had happened with me,Purple screen changed to Debian screen. But the OS is booting properly in my case both Ubuntu and windows 7 – Deepak Rajput Oct 22 '11 at 5:21
The first and second time it happened, it worked. But after that it started crashing and don't boot anymore. – Jesse Oct 22 '11 at 5:28

Make a fresh installation of Ubuntu 11.10 and update all required packages, then you want you can install gnome-shell and reboot

See weather proper booting or not
