| electricprism | I just updated my saucy and after login there's only a black screen, no panel, no window borders or desktop - anyone have any idea what could be wrong | 04:42 |
|---|---|---|
| wilee-nilee | !nomodeset | electricprism might be a missing graphic driver | 04:43 |
| ubottu | electricprism might be a missing graphic driver: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 04:43 |
| wilee-nilee | electricprism, Update or upgrade, have you used a driver from a manufacturer rather than the repos? | 04:44 |
| electricprism | wilee-nilee: yes, NVIDIA-Linux-x86-219.23.run | 04:44 |
| electricprism | wilee-nilee: I'm looking into the link you sent i'll try to investigate the nomodeset in the grub file | 04:45 |
| wilee-nilee | electricprism, If you use a driver from nvidia, which your advised not to it wont follow a kernel upgrade, the ones in the repos do. | 04:46 |
| electricprism | wilee-nilee, so how would I go about uninstalling the binary driver and then installing the one from the repo | 04:47 |
| electricprism | wilee-nilee: It also looks like nomodeset wasn't in my /etc/default/grub - maybe the update adjusted it out of the file as I installed 13.10 with nomodeset on | 04:47 |
| wilee-nilee | electricprism, That I'm not up on I have never had to install a graphic driver, I basically know what I have had to do. | 04:47 |
| electricprism | that's okay, and thank you | 04:48 |
| wilee-nilee | electricprism, nomodeset would not be there unless you put it there and saved it. | 04:48 |
| wilee-nilee | electricprism, Basically adding it to grub is a per-session boot to get you in and check the drivers. | 04:48 |
| electricprism | wilee-nilee: Oh, i see. the Live CD wouldn't even boot without it since Nouveau hates me | 04:49 |
| electricprism | wilee-nilee: cool, i suppose I should try rebooting and see if i get in, curren't im just using DISPLAY=:0 x-chat | 04:49 |
| electricprism | thank you again | 04:49 |
| wilee-nilee | electricprism, Yeah I have seen enough of others problems to just avoid nvidia in general, I don't really need what a higher grade card gives. | 04:49 |
| wilee-nilee | no problem | 04:50 |
| wilee-nilee | !vidia | 04:50 |
| wilee-nilee | !nvidia | 04:50 |
