EDIT:



I have tried manually installing, I tried a few different kernels, all saying the same thing. I guess that there is a common dependency somewhere. Any idea what would be common to all kernels?



https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18097110/Selection_011.png



I installed Ubuntu 13.10 in VirtualBox to check dependencies. And all dependencies are ok.



May be a bug, I have reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1242210



I have installed a different kernel, but same issue: 3.11.6-031106-generic



It appears not to be kernel specific, rather something missing in the packages.



I have tried to manually install all dependencies, but still no joy.



Wow, no-one has any ideas? Any help out there? Please :)

I have tried manually installing, I tried a few different kernels, all saying the same thing. I guess that there is a common dependency somewhere. Any idea what would be common to all kernels?



https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18097110/Selection_011.png



I installed Ubuntu 13.10 in VirtualBox to check dependencies. And all dependencies are ok.



May be a bug, I have reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1242210



I have installed a different kernel, but same issue: 3.11.6-031106-generic



It appears not to be kernel specific, rather something missing in the packages.



I have tried to manually install all dependencies, but still no joy.



Wow, no-one has any ideas? Any help out there? Please :)

I booted the system into console. Uninstalled the kernel, uninstalled Unity, purged Gnome, uninstalled Nvidia. Then reinstalled everything, it then started working. I would not suggest this to anyone!



In the end the system worked, but with some application errors. So I decided on a fresh install, after backing everything up.
