I cannot enter to the normal Login interface. If I do it will enter into tty1 mode. I just can enter using recovery mode. How can I solve this problem?

This happened 3 month before and after I just updating the Ubuntu. It was just a normal update.

I'm using Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat 10.10 and I think the problem is related to the plymouth manager.

Do you have a Nvidia graphiccard? If so, your xorg.conf could have been messed up somehow. A

sudo nvidia-xconfig

could help.
