A solution to this issue is posted on Ubuntu forums. See post titled "Stuck with black screen on booting after 10.04 upgrade" See comments #7, 8,9 and 10 especially. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1467235
The solution people found is to boot into the older kernel, and then install a kernel that's even newer than the one that ships with the Lucid 10.04 iso. Seems everything works then. -- [855GM] GPU hang when an application tries to use XVideo https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554835 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
