just tested, same result. here's a pic of it if that helps. http://img151.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cimg1380bc7.jpg
now at first it just has the green and tan bars and the hard drive light is showing that its being accessed (i guess in this case its the cd drive since its a livecd). then after like a minute the light is not showing and the other discoloration shows. normally i use the safe video option when booting with the ubuntu livecd and that works. then i'm able to install the proprietary nvidia kernel modules. i hit ctrl+alt+backspace to end the xserver, but instead of being dropped to a terminal login or anything it shows the previous services that started and sits there. so i can't really get the xserver log (looking back now i guess i could try to login how i normally do with the safe video option, switch out vesa with nv in the xorg.conf, restart the xserver, and then be able to kill the xserver and get to the terminal. i'll try to do that some other time so i can get you the logs) here's my video card chipset info btw: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV41 [GeForce 6800 GS] (rev a2) -- xserver-xorg crashes when handling newer nvidia cards https://launchpad.net/bugs/41979 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
