Graham, thank you for apport-collect'ing. In Precise, did you have this problem using the nouveau driver?
As well, can you install the nvidia drivers in Quantal as a WORKAROUND? ** Description changed: - Hi - Having installed Ubuntu 12.10, a black screen now appears after logon - (only the cursor is visble). Everything (graphically) up untill logon is + (only the cursor is visible). Everything (graphically) up until logon is fine. This seems to be a problem with my Nvidia FX5200 graphics card as when I removed this and used the integrated graphics (Intel 82865G) - instead, everything was fine. The same occured when I tried Kubuntu + instead, everything was fine. The same occurred when I tried Kubuntu 12.10. Using =nomodeset gets me to the desktop but the OS is very unresponsive. On my previous build (12.04), I was using Nvidia's drivers. Do I now - need to wait untill these are available or is there anything else I can - do untill then? + need to wait until these are available or is there anything else I can + do until then? - :) - --- + --- ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu6 Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-10-19 (6 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release i386 (20121017.2) MarkForUpload: True Package: linux (not installed) Tags: quantal running-unity Uname: Linux 3.7.0-030700rc1-generic i686 UnreportableReason: The running kernel is not an Ubuntu kernel UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo - --- + --- ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu6 Architecture: i386 AudioDevicesInUse: - USER PID ACCESS COMMAND - /dev/snd/controlC0: graham 1720 F.... pulseaudio + USER PID ACCESS COMMAND + /dev/snd/controlC0: graham 1720 F.... pulseaudio CRDA: - country GB: - (2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 20) - (5170 - 5250 @ 40), (N/A, 20) - (5250 - 5330 @ 40), (N/A, 20), DFS - (5490 - 5710 @ 40), (N/A, 27), DFS + country GB: + (2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 20) + (5170 - 5250 @ 40), (N/A, 20) + (5250 - 5330 @ 40), (N/A, 20), DFS + (5490 - 5710 @ 40), (N/A, 27), DFS DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=bd714dd8-b111-42c1-88b5-0b32b12b0bff InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-10-19 (6 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release i386 (20121017.2) MachineType: Dell Computer Corporation OptiPlex GX270 MarkForUpload: True Package: linux (not installed) ProcFB: 0 nouveaufb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-17-generic root=UUID=f4138a35-ef8f-4c93-a963-09e6b2ae85e3 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-17.28-generic 3.5.5 RelatedPackageVersions: - linux-restricted-modules-3.5.0-17-generic N/A - linux-backports-modules-3.5.0-17-generic N/A - linux-firmware 1.95 + linux-restricted-modules-3.5.0-17-generic N/A + linux-backports-modules-3.5.0-17-generic N/A + linux-firmware 1.95 RfKill: - 0: phy0: Wireless LAN - Soft blocked: no - Hard blocked: no + 0: phy0: Wireless LAN + Soft blocked: no + Hard blocked: no Tags: quantal running-unity Uname: Linux 3.5.0-17-generic i686 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo dmi.bios.date: 06/26/2006 dmi.bios.vendor: Dell Computer Corporation dmi.bios.version: A07 dmi.board.name: 0FG015 dmi.board.vendor: Dell Computer Corp. dmi.chassis.type: 6 dmi.chassis.vendor: Dell Computer Corporation dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnDellComputerCorporation:bvrA07:bd06/26/2006:svnDellComputerCorporation:pnOptiPlexGX270:pvr:rvnDellComputerCorp.:rn0FG015:rvr:cvnDellComputerCorporation:ct6:cvr: dmi.product.name: OptiPlex GX270 dmi.sys.vendor: Dell Computer Corporation -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068601 Title: 12.10: Black screen with FX5200 card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1068601/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
