I have some new information on this bug. First I tested on my HP tx2000 with Maverick and the latest updates and Nvidia version 260.19.12. Same result, black screen after a battery boot, ok on AC power.
Then I tested with an upstream kernel as requested by Jeremy Foshee in post 3 above. I downloaded linux- image-2.6.36-020636-generic_2.6.36-020636.201010210905_i386.deb and sources and installed it. Next I did a manual install of the Nvidia driver version 260.19.12. The result is that my tx2000 now boots through to a normal X server screen with a battery boot! So I think this shows the problem is related to a regression in the Ubuntu kernel patches, especially as it also works ok in Ubuntu 9.10. I hope this result can moves things forward a little bit to a solution. ** Tags added: maverick ** Tags removed: needs-upstream-testing -- Boot on battery power ends up with black screen [HP tx1000] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578119 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
