Public bug reported:
Kubuntu and Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex Beta
Not sure the package, tried to narrow this down to nvidia graphics
drivers. I still think it may be a problem with the new nvidia-graphics
drivers in 8.10, although even after removing anything nvidia* I still
get the corrupted screen.
I expected to have a running OS that I could see.
After the loading spash screen, my screen turns into a screen full of
vertical lines flashing grey and many colors, that is it. (no failsafe
x-server or anything) This occurs with the new kernel in 8.10 and the
old kernel from 8.04, so its not a result of the new kernel as was
suspect in the beginning. This occured when I updated via update-manager
-d in ubuntu 8.04, from the live cd for ubuntu 8.10 beta in both the
install option and run off of live cd option, and when installing via
adept_manager --dist-upgrade-devel in kubuntu 8.04. I tried all the
suggested nvidia bug problems for the new graphic drivers in the ubuntu
forums, but to no avail, my screen still is just full of flashing lines.
Not sure what logs and info need be supplied, let me know and I will
tried and supply them, although I am not sure how I would get them onto
here - I can only log into recovery mode and go to root terminal.
