The cursor is still there though.

Startup is fine, it still gets to the login screen, but as soon as I press enter when I enter my password to log in, the screen turns black, and nothing happens.

Note (if it helps): I just installed it, and haven't been able to log in yet, so it's not a problem with software I installed. (It's 12.10) Also, I installed it from a disc, not Wubi.

  • What kind of video card do you have? It sounds like you need a different video driver. – Ben Feb 22 '13 at 13:27

I would try using a guide to install a new driver. There's information out there for your specific video card. To get into a command-line only interface during bootup, I believe holding shift will do it.

Here's a few links I found:
