[04:41] <tiwake> just tried installing ubuntu 14.10 on my desktop and it does not want to do anything
[04:42] <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
[04:56] <tiwake> yeah, that was the problem
[05:12] <MarkDude> shift does not bring up grub?
[05:14]  * 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
[05:15] <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
[05:16] <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
[05:17] <MarkDude> I could not find a directly related bug, but for my 14.10 & 1404 I had to do a silly fix
[05:18] <tiwake> blarg
[05:18] <tiwake> its not letting me kill X to get to the command line
 drops me to a blank screen
[05:19] <MarkDude> Im almost wondering if 14.10 is a version to skip. Im so much happier with 14.04- with many different desktops
[05:20] <MarkDude> Try using advanced settings in grub.
[05:21] <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
[05:22] <tiwake> how do I install XFCE or KDE desktops?
[05:31] <tiwake> oh maybe that did it
[05:35] <tiwake> yay, I think I have the driver properly installed
