I just recently installed Ubuntu 11.10 from a CD, it all worked out well and all.

But whenever I start Ubuntu, after display the loading screen with the 5 dots, it turns black and I needed to reboot it.

I'm pretty new to this, but any advice?

I have a Toshiba C655-S5049 dual-booting Ubuntu and Windows 7 with an Intel GMA 4500M graphics card. I think I have to edit the command line, but I'm not sure how or if I'm right.

Not sure why its doing it but you may be able to work around it by trying this. When your pretty sure it is done booting, try hitting `ctrl+alt+f1` to get to a commandline, then try running `startx` – justingrif Jan 11 '12 at 01:03
Try adding `nosplash` as a parameter to your startup line. – Adrian Apr 03 '12 at 22:29
