UNABLE TO LOGIN INTO UBUNTU 10.10 AMD64 ON DELL INSPIRON 1521 LAPTOP

[DR. VIMAL HURRY]

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 amd64 on my Dell Inspiron 1521 laptop.
The problem is that once I login, I get only the wallpaper & no icons or panels whatsoever.
I am able to move the mouse but it does not respond to left- or right clicks.
I was using Ubuntu 10.04 before & I had no problems. After upgrading today to 10.10 I started to have this problem.
So I decided to wipe out my HDD & do a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10. Again I had the same problem & I'm stuck with an empty wallpaper.
I tried to repair the installation using the Alternate CD but it was in vain.
I am now re-installing 10.04 again.

Why is Ubuntu 10.10 amd64 not working on the Dell Inspiron 1521 laptop?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi DR.,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 658834

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

I got the same issue in Dell Inspiron 1521 with Ubuntu 10.10. Going to try 10.04.

Ubuntu 10.04 worked on Inspiron 1521.
