Recover Ubuntu - after failing Update to version 11.04

Question

fglrx fails to load causing black screen on boot.

I need to recover my Ubuntu (perhaps to the previous 10.10 version).

Is there a way for doing so ?

I mean, perhaps after Ubuntu tried to update, it has place some restore point that we may now use to recover ?

Thanks

Can you go to a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + F1)?

Then you can uninstall fglrx:

sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx

Or:

cd /usr/share/ati
sudo sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh
sudo reboot now

when I do sudo sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh I get: "sh: Can't open ./fglrx-uninstall.sh" - when I do ls inside ati folder, I only see something called amdcccle

Obrigado Jorge Castro. Thank you Desgua. I've google it a little and I've found: ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1602441&page=2 . I've removed the fglrx thing, and I'm now wondering what will happen next. :)
