"All the characters displayed are in the form of Square boxes", I tried to boot to previous versions of Ubantu already displayed on the startup menu, but result is same - displays square box for each character!!! Due to this I am unable to log in. Kernel ver is "Ubantu, kernel 2.6.15-52-386 " and H/w details- Dell Inspiron 6400, 1GB RAM, 120 GB HDD. Any help Pramod Last edited by pramod123; 08-18-2009 at 06:11 AM. Reason: added details
