[SLUG] Boot issues with Ubuntu

[John Nielsen <bammebaby@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All
Good to see so many faces at the meeting tonight I am running Karmic Koala
and I went to boot up tonight after the meeting and it
s coming up to the GNU GRUB Menu with a choice of Ubuntu's to boot into and
when I boot into any of the non recovery ones it goes to the splash screen
and hangs.

Suggestions on how to get it to boot please

Yours in Wellness
