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. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- screen corrupted with 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279251 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
