Bug Description
My system had been up and running without problems until I booted up about 5 days ago and the splash screen hung there with
the dots continuously loading. After 3 mins, I pressed (any) key which booted me into my Ubunto 12.04. Three days ago the machine booted into black screen with boot up selection commands. That day I filed a "me too" bug report for issue #531650. It looked like individual report would do be betterso here we go. I am still pressing any key to get the hanging loading dots in the splash screen to boot into the OS sign-in.
Ubuntu is the only OS on my Dell OPTIPLEX 760. I'm just a Linux lover with no programing skills - who can figiure her way around
hard or software enough to get by 89% of the time but I'm good at following directions when needed. I understand that apport
will collect the needed information. Thanks!

Is this problem reproducible if you boot without the 'splash' commandline option - or if you boot in rescue mode?
If not, it will be nearly impossible to debug this.
