Yesterday my 12.04 installed new updates and I clicked on restart.
GRUB loaded normally, but then instead of my pretty desktop (auto login turned on) I got a black screen asking for login and password.
Why? How can I get my desktop back to before?
This is due to updates I am sure, nothing in hardware has changed and no other display settings changed... using AMD driver from their site for my raedeon 6850 and have catalyst driver working fine.
I have tried typing in commands like sudo start lightdm
and sudo startx
these didn't do anything - just froze.
