Hello all

i have been installing this new ubuntu 8.04 server edition, after installation was complete i also did apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and it was completed succesfully but once reboot, the ubuntu starts up with the reading bar and once thats finished i only get a black screen. and i cant even go to text mode frmo here

i then went to the recovery mode fixed broken packages and also tried xfix, then took to the text mode and even when i have configured the ip with ifconfig and gateway it just cant ping a website address but it can ping the neighbouring computer. its also weird since only because i had the internet connectivity i could install the ubuntu-desktop package.

could someone help me get the display
