ubuntu not starting
recently the power went when i was using ubuntu and my system shut down since the ups took too long to supply power. So i started my system and choose to boot linux, but it said display drivers not detected, linux running in low graphic mode, and it said 1. run windows in low graphic mode for now...2. reset to previous graphic mode- i chose this and it restarted, since then the ubuntu loading page appears and then my monitor goes blank although my processor is running.....why is this happening??.....btw i have a ati 5770 graphic card through which it should display.

Have you upgraded Ubuntu packages recently?It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Execute startx command and post exact error here, if any.
