This is a bug in the Koala CD final boot from CD xorg driver and install via
the text installer because you can never get to an actual desktop display to
install from the live CD rom.

** Description changed:
The default xorg driver does not show a workable screen from the install
cd or from the standard xorg driver after installation. I needed to
drop to a root console to install the nv 180 driver for my nvidia 7600GS
systems. It was very frustrating because about 20 of my systems use the
nividia 7600GS card. Having no display show up when booting from cd or
after using the text install from the 1st hard drive on every machine
was a pain. I have noticed several bug reports with the nvidia 7600
cards closed or just dropped. This is a true bug in the Karmic final
release. I have tried it on multiple machines.

- Its been having boot problems for about a week now, the pale ACER logo
screen appears then goes to a blank screen, also the BIOS setting option
dont appear (F2) so I cant get into BIOS. i've been looking around for
solutions such as re-seating the RAM, putting the BIOS update on a flash pen
drive and booting up holding the FN + ESC keys and tried the ACER Boot disc
but none seem to be working. I have a LINUX disc (UBUNTU) it runs from the
disc only so it does not affect my machine. It first starts up with the
options:

1, Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer
2, Install Ubuntu
3, Check disc for defects
4, Test Memory
5, Boot from first hard disk (I tried this and it just goes to a blank
screen)
It also has F function options:
F1 = Help
F2 = Language
F3 = Keymap
F4 = Modes
F5 = Accessibility
F6 = Other Options
Press F4 to select alternative start-up and installation modes
I select the first option Try Ubuntu
It runs the Ubuntu load up sequence (takes awhile) then it checks if
everything is [OK]. After this sequence a Error Caution message appears
saying:
Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode
The following error was encountered. You may need to update your
configuration to solve this.
(EE) NV(0): No valid FB address in PCI config space
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
The only option i get is to click OK. Then it comes up with a menu
saying
What would you like to do?
1, Run Ubuntu in low-graphics mode for just one session
2, Reconfigure graphics
3, Troubleshoot the error
4, Exit to console login
I ran the first option and a blue screen pops up saying:
there already appears to be an X server running on display :0. Should
another display number by tried? Answering no will cause GDM to attempt
starting the server on :0 again. (You can change consoles by pressing
Ctrl-Alt plus a function key, such as Ctrl-Alt-F7 to go to console 7. X
servers usually run on console 7 and higher)
I press yes and Ubuntu loads. I looked in Hardware Drivers, it comes up
with three drivers:
1, NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 180) [Recommended]
2, NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173)
3, NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 96)
None of them are Activated and it won't let me activate them. It does
state No proprietary drivers are in use on this system.
I restarted to get back to the options above and chose the third option
Troubleshoot the error. It comes up with more options:
What information would you like to review?
1, Review the xserver log file
2, Review the startup errors
3, Edit configuration file
4, Archive configuration and logs
I clicked option two and one error was found
Fatal Server Error: No screens found.
I am not sure where or what to do next, I was running a Windows 7
professional edition. But it seems to have died on me, Im new to Ubuntu
so im kind of lost.
- Now my system is running ubuntu under a resolution of 800*600 (temporary
installation method).
- Will permenantly installing Ubuntu Fix this?
-
- I hope the information I gave here is understandable. If you need anymore
information please ask.
