I had Xubuntu 8.04 running on my computer when I decided to upgrade to the new 8.10. I followed the instructions on the Ubuntu site, installing all other updates first. The upgrade seemed to complete without errors, but when I rebooted the machine, the login screen doesn't show up. Specifically, instead just the "x" shows up in the middle of the screen (one time changing to a clock or something and then staying in that state), but it does not respond to the mouse, seemingly locked.
