Lost graphical boot after an upgrade from Ubuntu 9.04 to Ubuntu 9.10
Luckily I have attempted it in a VMWare
environment, and have taken a snapshot right before the upgrade. In addition, my FreeNX
connection that used to work now would not (probably same cause).
I am able to log in on the console, when I hit Ctrl - Alt - F1
.
However, I am no Linux pro, and I am not sure which log file(s) to start with, or what to try.
Would you kindly walk me though this? I will post my steps as I go.

This seems like the same/very similar question resolved:
No GUI after upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 (boots to command line)
Good luck.
[EDIT]: If this doesn't resolve your problem, attempt to replace your xorg.conf from /etc/X11 with one of the standard configurations. Then, once you've restart the x11 server, you can attempt to re-install your graphics drivers.
I'd start by examining X.org log files, located at /var/log/X.0.log
.
Try reconfiguring X server.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
You can try to reinstall xorg :
sudo apt-get install xorg
Then follow by Sathya's suggestion to reconfigure xorg:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
or
sudo xorgconfig
If that doesn't help, you might check if Grub2 was correctly installed by the 9.10 upgrade.
From How To Check Installed GRUB Version Number :
grub-install -v
