I am new to Ubuntu, used Mandriva for years but that was a long time ago. I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a HPtx1000. Everything was working fine but recently when I boot up I don't get a login screen.
If I hit CTRL+ALT+F1 and thenCTRL+ALT+F7 I get the login screen and everything is fine.
Any clues as to why the login screen isn't automatically coming up?
