Well i installed ubuntustudio on my dell laptop. well everything went well but when i started the laptop there was this black screen with the white text, looked like it was testing osmething, and then it told me to log in which i did. but instead of some desktop appearing there was plain text. it said my name and then some dollar sign and it wanted me to put some commands there. how can i start the OS????

It sounds strangely familiar. Maybe your xserver isn't configured properly? Have you tried to reconfigure x?

sudo dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xorg
