I upgrade my Ubuntu to 11.10. I restarted and it worked perfectly until now when I restarted again and it is now in text mode after I login. Can somebody please provided some suggestions on what I should do? I do not understand what happened.

  • I tried restarting lightdm but it is already running.

You could try restarting the graphical side by logging in in text mode and then typing the following command:

sudo service lightdm start

If that command gives errors, please add them to your question (using the edit link).

    Try hitting Ctrl+Alt+7 when you encounter the text-based login and see if the graphical login shows up.

    @nitstorm: You mean Ctrl+Alt+F7.

I hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 then returning to Alt+F7, very inconvenient and I don't know what caused it, but it works.
