Bug Description
I just installed 8.10 fro liveCD. Had been using 8.04 previously. I needed to reinstall for a few reasons, anyway when a booted for the first time instead of opening the desktop it just opens a command line interface. I can log in through it but I don't know how to do much else with the terminal. I tried startx but it just say's something like "could not find display. Primary device not PCI"
I'm used AMD 4200 CPU, dual Nvidia 8800GT graphics. 1280*1024 display.
ANy help would be appriciated, I really liked ubuntu but now I can't get it to work...
