Public bug reported:
Model: ASUS K42JV-X1
OS: Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit)
Graphics: Nvidia Geforce GT 335M **
** I believe the laptop also has a Intel graphics adaptor from this
output from `lspci | grep -i "VGA"`
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18)
Steps:
1. Install Ubuntu
2. Run `sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade && sudo reboot`
(optional)
3. Install the restricted Nvidia driver through jockey
4. Reboot
Result:
I am left with a black screen upon boot. I see the grub "blinking cursor", then
some flickering as if X or Plymouth were coming online and nothing happens. I
am left with a black screen.
Note:
When I try to recover from this by booting into recovery mode, I see a lot of
white text fly by (while booting into recovery mode), it says "Done." for a few
seconds then again some flickering and a black screen. So essentially I cannot
do much of anything.
Unfortunately, unless I'm willing to brick the machine a few times more
(which I can't now) I'm not sure how else to gather more information.
However, if there's anything I can gather, let me know.
