Thought I post this as well; so I updated my system yesterday, today had to reboot and then was seeing just the blank screen, so I rebooted my laptop again only to be greeted again to the same black screen. I was able to fix it doing the following below, and here are my specs as well:
- Asus X550L having Nvidia Geforce 720 - Running Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS So booted up and greeted with the black screen. Pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get onto the terminal screen, logged in using my credentials, and all I did was: $ sudo apt-get dist-update (I didn't run dist-upgrade afterwards as I had upgraded last night) $ sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-updates $ sudo reboot And no more black screen, greeted back to GUI. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1362848 Title: ubuntu 14.04 after install nvidia binary driver 331.89 black screen and freeze To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-331/+bug/1362848/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
