I have a very similar problem where the machine hangs at login or around then. i have tried intalling
Ubuntu 8.04 - Froze during installation - in safe graphics mode :-( Ubuntu Studio 8.04 - installs in safe graphics mode but only boots to black screen Kubuntu 8.04 (KDE 3.x) - installed and worked for about 10-15 seconds after login, once it froze during draw of the desktop background so ½ a blue and ½ a black screen and finally yesterday I tried Wubi, selecting the Kubuntu 8.04 (KDE 4) same ol' same ol' btw - cant get Knoppix to start. A Debian install started rambling about "an unknown key has been released" and Xserver would start at all so they went down the drain I will try to reconfigure xserver as described in the wubiguide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide I belive this works (if indeed it does) on all installations wether Wubi or not. My graphics card is a Asus EN8600GT, 256MB ddr3, cpu is a Pentium D 915 (or 925) 3.0Ghz, 2 cores. Kernel is the AMD64 I am about to give up on ubuntu/kubuntu - eventhough Kubuntu loads wickedly fast. or even Linux at all, I have down loaded close to 30GB of installs and the only one that works is Mandriva but it's rather sluggish, (but then the kernel is i586) so not interesting. I have googled but found nothing usable (at least to me but some of that may be because of me being a newbie), this is the first post involving a GF86xx+ graphics chip I found and I strongly suspect the driver (read some xorg file in one of the inststallations where I believe the newest chip mentioned was 7900) but I am not even trying to comprehend howto update the driver via command line. Just now I did find an old link in ubuntuforums re a legacy driver that may/may not work http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=213119 hope some one is looking :-) -- Ubuntu/Kubuntu (Xserver?) hangs after logoff with Gainnward 8600GT and Eizo S2411W https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183340 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
