You have been subscribed to a public bug: When you upgrade to the Nvidia Accelerated Graphics drivers v180. Upon reboot you will hear the startup tone but the screen is blank. When I move the mouse around or play with key combinations I still see my HDD light come on so I know everything is fine except for a black screen.
I use a Nvidia GeForce 7150M with 256MB of memory and a Nvidia nForce 630M GPU. The theme I use is called GlassyBleu. I run Ubuntu 8.10 32-Bit, I installed it using a CD i ordered from Canonical about 4 months ago. The way I fixed the problem was by uninstalling the drivers using the shell command in recovery mode, I booted into Ubuntu, reinstalled the v177.82 drivers, upon reboot everything was fine and I was able to resume everything as if nothing happened. ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Black Screen on Startup with Nvidia v180 Accelerated Graphics Drivers in Ubuntu https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/359472 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
