Public bug reported:
I have been scouring the internet for solution to this problem for a few
months now and although I have found people with similar problems none
of the posted solutions have solved the issue. Thanks in advance for any
help!
The Problem:
---------------------------------
Everything works fine when I have the VESA drivers installed. However when I
install the Nvidia drivers the problems begin:
1.) Computer starts fine. Grub runs fine. Ubuntu splash screen loads fine, and
boots.
2.) When the display switches from the splash screen, instead of displaying the
login screen the display becomes corrupted: half of the screen is orange (login
background color), the other half is black. If I then press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
the normal login screen is displayed.
3.) Everything then works fine, no display issues. I can change the resolution
and use application in fullscreen, no probs.
4.) When i try to shut down the system starts to shutdown, however at the point
where normally the shutdown splash screen is displayed the screen simply goes
blank and the system seems completely unresponsive. There is no HDD activity
after this point and the system will sit in this state indefinitely. I'm
usually want to throw something large and solid in the general direction on my
laptop at this point, but usually opt for manually powering it off.
5.) Also if i press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace at any point after having pressed it a
login, the screen again simply goes blank and the system seems completely
unresponsive.
I have tried using various drivers such as the nvidia legacy drivers,
but always have the same problem. The same thing happened in Ubuntu
6.06. I was hoping feisty would solve the issue but alas! I'm fairly new
to Ubuntu and still learning lots. Could i be a X server or Gnome
problem? Are there log files i should be looking at? If so how do i find
them?
