Mint 14 blinking cursor on boot
I installed mint 14 final and when I boot up all i get is a black screen and blinking cursor.This is the same problem as when I installed the rc of Mint 14.

Hello.
Hit the keys cntl+alt+f8
If that did not work
try starting your x server with this command:
sudo mdm
or:
sudo restart mdm
or:
sudo service mdm start
mdm work for me and I am using Mate, may be it will work with cinnoman.
"X server" is color graphics interface.

Re: Mint 14 blinking cursor on boot
Similar issue. Installed mInt 14, rebooted, updated, installed some apps, etc, booted back into windows to play a couple games, went to boot back into mint the next day, and all I get is the blinking cursor. Never had this prob before, and rather stumped. Already re-installed and did the same, only for the same thing to happen. My mint install is useless/inaccessible. Most displeased. Windows was meant to be my fallback, not my main OS, but this gives me little choice. :/
If you accept - and I do - that freedom of speech is important, then you are going to have to defend the indefensible. That means you are going to be defending the right of people to read, or to write, or to say, what you don't say or like or want said.
