| tiwake | just tried installing ubuntu 14.10 on my desktop and it does not want to do anything | 04:41 |
|---|---|---|
| tiwake | BIOS gets done with POST, and then it drops to a blank screen | 04:42 |
| tiwake | (this is after installing, with no obvious problems with the install process) | 04:42 |
| tiwake | its almost like grub didnt even install or something | 04:42 |
| tiwake | yeah, that was the problem | 04:56 |
| MarkDude | shift does not bring up grub? | 05:12 |
| * MarkDude had similar problem14.04 had to shift into grub- do advanced mode, resume normal boot. Then repair display. Have not had issues with earlier | 05:14 | |
| MarkDude | Did it let you choose grub? For my Lubuntu 14.10 I had no such option XD | 05:14 |
| tiwake | no option | 05:15 |
| tiwake | but I repaired grub from my liveDVD | 05:15 |
| MarkDude | Yep, that sorta bummed me out- thats rude IMHO :D | 05:15 |
| tiwake | silly thing | 05:16 |
| MarkDude | It just chose what was best- then decided I no longer wanted to see grub, nor my 6+ Distros | 05:16 |
| MarkDude | I could not find a directly related bug, but for my 14.10 & 1404 I had to do a silly fix | 05:17 |
| tiwake | blarg | 05:18 |
| tiwake | its not letting me kill X to get to the command line | 05:18 |
| tiwake | <ctrl><alt><F2> drops me to a blank screen | 05:18 |
| MarkDude | Im almost wondering if 14.10 is a version to skip. Im so much happier with 14.04- with many different desktops | 05:19 |
| MarkDude | Try using advanced settings in grub. | 05:20 |
| tiwake | I need to install the NVIDIA drivers | 05:21 |
| tiwake | need to kill X to do that | 05:21 |
| MarkDude | Yes | 05:21 |
| MarkDude | Oh that fun loop. Sorry | 05:21 |
| MarkDude | Nouveau hell | 05:21 |
| tiwake | how do I install XFCE or KDE desktops? | 05:22 |
| tiwake | oh maybe that did it | 05:31 |
| tiwake | yay, I think I have the driver properly installed | 05:35 |
