Bug Description

unable to boot up ubuntu 12.04 after the above error displayed during startup. Tried to look at solution from online community help from ubuntu and tried to apply the solution displayed for the problem. But unable to carry out any changes as it does not accept any command when trying to apply while starting grub and press alt+cltr+F2 and carry out changes to install gdm and update it. Also unable to go to login as keyboard stop functioning properly and not able to put user name and password.

Hi,

I haven't still heard regarding the problem and had tried various options provided on Ubuntu community. Like to share some information regarding the option tried to resolve the problem which is stated below.

Tried to follows this :

1. Boot PC leaving SHIFT pressed to make the GRUB Menu show.
2. Select Recovery Mode which will continue booting correctly until the Recovery Menu appeares.
3. Select from the recovery menu failsafeX.
4. In some cases failsafeX will load fine (You lucky dog), for others (Me) it will give an error along the lines of "The system is running in low-graphics mode" and will stay there forever. When this happens, press CTRL+ALT+F1 to go to the terminal. Type in your Username and Password.

After going through 4 option, i get a message as stated below...

/dev/sda7: clean; 279277/1376256 files; 1519680/5499904 blocks (and this changes after your try following the same option)
  ,, ,, ,, 279284/1376256 ,, 1519991/ ,, ,,
  ,, ,, ,, 279285/ ,, ,, 1520079/ ,, ,,

After this tried to to install fglrx, gdm but nothing worked out. Kindly let me know as still i am stuck with the problem and unable to start Ubuntu 12.04
