Linux Mint stops before login screen.

[Daweed]

Please help and heal my disappointment. Like title says , everything stops before login screen and turn to black. I am not a total newbie , I use mint for about 4 months. On the login before this ,I didn't install any program, and it can only be some bug. Before this happens, I've noticed that it displays that some vdr is missing , and in the avahi daemon line , some DNR or DNS word is added. I've been updating it often, and it may be because of that, I don't know, but only thing that I know is that my LINUX DOESN'T WORK. Please help guys!!

Try booting into recovery mode to see what errors it gives.

I have on occasion had this happen, and as far as I can tell it's Xwindows failing to load properly. Hitting control-alt-backspace typically fixes things for me. That combination of keys reloads Xwindows. Good luck.

Sorry, but that didn't helped. Same problem still... I am thinking of switching to another distro, but I know that there is not better than Mint, but stabillity lacks in this green OS

Go to terminal (ctrl-alt-f5) and type in:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

That will reset your X configuration to the default.
After you use that command type:
sudo reboot.

That didn't helped too, I think that its not problem in xserver, I even configured xserver manually after that , but . . . . Linux video disk recorder seems not to be running ( computer says), and I think thats maybe the problem, or not? And I don't want to reinstall the system, because it will be the proof to me that the Windows is more secure...

You said you haven't installed anything. No other distribution in another partition? And you didn't select dist-upgrade in the package manager ... right?
What was the results of the boot in recovery mode?
Did you try to reinstall the graphics driver? In terminal screen enter sudo envy -t.
Sorry there isn't much information other than black screen - that usually means graphics.

Yes, I didn't install anything, no dist upgrades,no other distros, and everything starts ok in the recovery mode. I don't have drivers installed by envy , just by rest. driv. manager... and offcourse xgl. I've reinstalled system, using reiserfs except ext3, and now , everything works faster under emerald. I think that updates ****** my system, or something was wrong with my radeon 9800pro. which is not 100% compatible with Linux( openGL, rendering). But one question still annoys me. I've updated my Linux before, and use it for 4 months, and nothing ****** it untill now, for no reason Thanks guys... I think that this question must be considered by team which takes care of weird bugs
