Title:
Desktop Setup: Black screen with blinking cursor
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Boot the 64-bit Desktop CD. I can hear the Ubuntu desktop login
sound, but the desktop never appears. It appears as though I don't
even get an X session as all I can see is a black screen with a
blinking underscore cursor in the top-left portion of my primary
monitor. I have an Asus GTX 550 Ti with two Samsung SyncMaster
PX2370 monitors. The primary monitor is attached via DVI. The
secondary monitor is attached via HDMI. I have also tried attaching
the secondary monitor using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter and get the same
result.
I also tried pressing Alt+F2 and so on to see if I could get any
console output or login on a separate console to examine some logs;
however, it will not even attempt to switch consoles.
I have also tried re-downloading and re-burning the Desktop image and receive
the same result. I can install using the alternate install CD; however, I get
the black screen on first boot.
