Hy all! The problem is not only on nVidia cards!
The same thing (black screen on Ubuntu) happens on AMD ATI cards also! The problem seems to be due to the fact that Ubuntu and derivates distros based on Ubuntu (Mint, Mate, etc.) detects an unreal, extremely high Graphic Processor Unit temperatures from GPU sensors (DOUBLE THAN THE REAL VALUES), and then Ubuntu kills the graphic output in order to protect the graphic card from overheating. For more details read this post here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/655200/black-screen-ubuntu-14-04-a-possible-cause The post is way too big to copy/paste it here. Please check the GPU sensors temperatures on Ubuntu 14.04 also within your systems. Of course that can be done only by those who systems are still showing at least the Ubuntu desktop, in order to run the Terminal. I hope that somewone will find a solution for this BLACK SCREEN issue. -- 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
