KimG,
Hmmm. This could be a tough one. Not really an expert on graphics problems, so hopefully others chime in here too.
Do you happen to have the link to the bug report for us to look over? I tried doing a search for it, but couldn't find it.
Just so I understand, as of right now you have re-installed LL and are using it without doing updates yet. Correct?
From your output, looks like root partition is /dev/sda7 and there's another partition that I'm guessing is supposed to be for /home at /dev/sda6. Is sda6 supposed to be for /home, or is that something else? Reason I ask is because the output does not show that partition mounted at the time you ran the report. Assuming you ran it from within the installed system, sda6 should be mounted on bootup if it's your /home partition.
Post back answering what you meant that sda6 partition to be along with link to the bug report. Also, open file manager to your home directory. Do you see all the normal home folders (Documents, Downloads, etc.)? Save a test file to Documents. Then open a terminal and post back with the output of these two commands:
I have a feeling that your current home directory is within the root partition and that you may have forgotten to set the separate /home partition during last installation.
I'm not sure what that means. Do you have the monitor hooked-up using a KVM switch or an adaptor of some sort?
Not entirely sure if that's a problem or not. Do you have computer set so that you must login, or did you set it to autologin? Do you see the LL logo splash screen at some point after the "black screen with white garbled stuff"?
