[Bug 1068471] Re: Blank screen on boot.

[Adrian Suarez]

Pressing the keys alternates between the text and graphical displays. I
tried to run that command and received the following error. ERROR: The
launchpadlib Python module is not installed. This functionality is not
available. I looked in the Ubuntu Software Center but am unsure as to
which package to install. When I search for launchpadlib I get python-
launchpadlib-toolkit and python-launchpadlib. Which of the two do I need
to install so this command will work or do I need them both? Many
thanks!
