Fedora Installation :: Nouveau And NVidia Drivers - Jet-black Screen And A Completely Inexpressive Blinking White Cursor

Nov 29, 2009

Although I managed fairly quickly to get 3D enabled on the GF 7600GS of my desktop, it took me longer to get 3D up on the GF 9650M GT of my Asus laptop M70Vn. Although I made extensive use of the numerous procedures outlined here, none of them worked and booting my laptop always ended up with me facing a jet-black screen and a completely inexpressive blinking white cursor. My solution was simple: I did not blacklist Nouveau and problems mysteriously disappeared.

Fedora :: Black Screen After Updates In F12

Mar 25, 2010

As a newcomer to Linux I recently installed F12 (2.6.31.5-127) from a full installation DVD and all worked well until I decided to download a bunch of updates. When I next booted up I had a second kernel (2.6.32.9-70) and the usual other option for my XP dual boot (which still works!).Selecting either kernel leads to the Fedora logo on a blue screen and then a black screen with a small underscore cursor in the top left and no other text. This is not a command line or a text editor but it simply displays key depressions - the alpha/numeric section of the keyboard in upper and lower case as normal and then the function keys and numeric key pad as control codes commencing with As both kernels yield the same behaviour, am I right in assuming that it is one of the program updates that is causing the problem? The only way I have found to get out of this screen is ctrl.alt.del which gives a short list of programs being stopped and then the machine reboots. I don't know how to pause this screen to get the details before they disappear.I have been through loads of stuff on this forum but nothing seems to fit. From the command line terminal off the boot options screen I tried su -c yum clean all and also yum clean all but all I get from Grub is error 27 unrecognised command.

As you can tell I'm a complete beginner, but I am willing to learn. The thing is I don't know where to go from here. All I want for now is to get back to the Gnome environment I can handle, then I can explore the command line at my pace instead of being thrown in at the deep end!

Fedora :: Black Screen After Updates 6-16-10 / Fix It?

Jun 16, 2010

I'm running Fedora 13 64 bit. Everything has worked fine, until today. The latest updates killed the video.

As the bar at the bottom of the screen starts to go across and say Fedora 13 the whole bar starts to flash then goes solid white. No errors or nothing, just a black screen. What causes this?

Nvidia drivers are installed. Maybe it's them. I've had trouble with video after updates with the last 4 versions of Fedora.

How to fix this mess?

Ubuntu Installation :: Black Screen After Second Boot With Updates

Jan 4, 2010

I have an alienware m17 with an Ati graphics card. I was able to log on and install all current updates as well as the card driver update where I was then prompted to restart. Upon doing so, I get the grub loading plus splash screen. My screen then goes blank followed by a noise in my laptop. I have tried nomodeset as well as taking out splash nothing has worked. Also, upon booting up I get lucky if I can get into Recovery mode.

Ubuntu :: After Updates - Stayed To Black Screen Then Filled Up With Error Messages Like About Trace Call

Nov 5, 2010

Two days ago I downloaded and installed new updates after upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10. After the update I was informed I needed to restart. Once my laptop booted up again it stayed to a black screen and then filled up with error messages like something about trace call or call trace?

I had no way to get into my system but I did have some minor success starting in an old kernel. However after a while it would freeze like the graphics driver was going wrong.

Two attempt later of reinstalling 10.10 from disc after deleting the drive content and after updating it would go back to the same.

So I have now disabled updates as I haven't a clue on which one(s) is causing these problems.

I am on a HP Pavillion dv7 with nVidia graphics card and running 64amd Ubuntu.

OpenSUSE Install :: Black Screen With Error 15: File Not Found

Oct 8, 2010

I managed to get following config up and running very nicely with an 11.3 installation. But recently I did a clean install of the OS and hoping to preserve my data in the home HD (2TB) partition I did the following operation which resulted in black screen screen with error 15: file not found.

Config: one SSD root (90GB) and swap (30Gb) second HD for home (2TB)

During the installation I reformatted and mounted the SSD with root and swap as above. I left the home HD (2TB) unformatted and mounted as home.

When I did my first boot up, it worked perfectly - Even Fire Fox booted up with my recovered pages as of my last install! However after installing my multi-media codecs, and security updates, etc. to the fresh install I rebooted the system only to discover that I am unable to get past GRUB!

I don't have to lose my data every time I do a fresh install to new ISO release.

Fedora Hardware :: Black Screen \ Can Force A Shutdown, Login And Get The Same Black Screen?

Mar 6, 2010

I was messing around with the screen orientation and thought it would be funny to orient it sideways. Big mistake The screen went black.I can force a shutdown, login and I get the same black screen. I tried hooking up an external monitor and the monitor showed no input so I'm guessing my laptop doesn't have that capability with Fedora.This is my main computer.

Debian :: Getting Lines On Screen With Aptitude Gtk When Squeeze Updates

Apr 26, 2010

what would happen if aptitude needed to ask me a question, (like which config file to keep for a certian essential program, etc.). I don't think I've come across this problem yet, but I really wouldn't know. I do get the following lines on the screen with aptitude-gtk just about every day when I do squeeze updates and I wonder if it's not related to this same question. Does anyone know if aptitude-gtk is capable of asking you, the administrator, questions about a package that it's updating?

Debian :: Xscreensavers Provide A Black Screen?

Jun 26, 2010

I'm using gnome-screensaver and have installed

xscreensaver-data
xscreensaver-data-extra
xscreensaver-gl
xscreensaver-gl-extra
xscreensaver-screensaver-bso

However, any xscreensaver I select and which becomes active provides only a blank black screen, although the Preview button works fine. The default installation screensavers which come along with gnome-screensaver are working fine too. Using Debian Sid.

Debian :: When Suspend And Hibernate Screen Goes Black?

Feb 26, 2011

I am having some pain with my new Squeeze installation, I am not sure if I am asking to much of it or it is an easy fix.

Firstly my system is laptop which I regularly plug a second monitor into. The video adaptor is an ATI HD4550 mobile.

My problem is that when ever suspend or hibernate my system, and even sometime when I boot up the screen(s) are just blank, although sometime they don't, it always happens if I suspend by closing the lid of my laptop, and only sometime happend with through Gnome is go ->System->Shutdown->Suspend. This is really annoying.

Another issue which I think is connected is that as I said I have a second monitor (most of the time) and when I boot up then it works until I log in, then a message pops up say the configuration can not be applied and it revert to Mirror mode or it does this thing where it places the second screen inside (virtually) the built in Laptop panel, it will not let me fix this through the monitors dialog just displaying the same message. I can fix this by doing

invoke-rc.d gmd3 restart

This gets as far as killing Gnome them it prints an error the to console, at which point Imopen a new terminal by ctrl+alt+f2 and
invoke-rc.d gmd3 stop
invoke-rc.d gmd3 start

then it works fine and even remember that I set the secondary screen to be the primary monitor through xrandr.

I tried install fgrlx drivers instead but it didn't really fix the issue, so I removed them.

Debian Installation :: Screen Will Go Black After A Few Reboots?

Dec 14, 2010

I've been running 5.05. Just in the last few weeks after I update the screen will go black after a few reboots. I believe it has something to do with the ATI Drivers. If I clean install and install the smxi drivers after a few reboots the screen goes black right before the log in screen. This also happens with Mepis and Dream Linux which are Debian Base.

Upon selection of debian, I just get a black screen and the monitor gives the message "input not supported". I havent had any such problems with numerous distros over the 2 years.

Debian :: Black Flashing Screen After Bootup?

Apr 1, 2010

I'm using debian for the first time and I recently downloaded the Debian Lenny 201 Live CD to test it on my old computer (I'm planning to use Debian 5.0.4). It has a Pentium III (550 MHz) processor, 192 MB RAM, 8 MB graphics memory, 20 GB HDD with a monitor supporting 1024x768 resolution. The problem is, after the booting is complete a blank flashing screen appears with a cross-shaped cursor in the middle. I continues and nothing happens. I tried with solutions like editing the entries with 'live xdriver=fbdev', 'live xdriver=none', and 'live vga=771'.

Debian :: Black Screen At Some Point Of Boot?

Aug 8, 2011

I've just installed debian on a rather old laptop (Toshiba satellite 1800). The installation process was ok, I selected desktop supprot when it asked me which additional software it should set up.

But then, when I tried to boot for the first time, i saw some messages for the first time, but then I coud see only a black screen (yet the backlight is not turned off). Immediately before the screen turns black, the last printed line is something like "starting gnome...". When I select single-user mode in GRUB, the system (with no window manager) starts well.

Debian Hardware :: Black Screen After Boot?

Apr 1, 2011

I am experiencing a weird problem with my dell latitude laptop. I installed debian amd64 once with gnome and after grub it echoes the following message: Unknown controller version (2). You may experience  problems. and after the /dev procedure my screen (16:9) goes black.

After that I tried to reinstalled debian without gnome and I booted to shell. From there I installed manually (apt-get) gnome and started gdm3 and I my screen was ok, but after I did a reboot the same problem happened. Also, when I boot with an external VGA monitor, the vga looks ok but the laptop screen is still black.

output of lspci | grep -i vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

EDIT: I just realized another strange thing. If I boot without the vga plugged, I get the usual black screen and If I wait and understand that I am in the login screen and at this time I plug the vga, then miraculously my laptop screen works fine!!! But later on if I close the laptop lid and open it again, then again ... black screen but if I plug the vga it's ok again!

Debian :: On Squeeze - Black Screen After Gdm Loads?

Dec 15, 2010

After entering runlevel 2 and gdm loads, I only get a black screen. I hear a beep that indicates gdm has loaded, but everything stays black. Trying to switch to a console using ctrl-alt-f1 does absolutely nothing.

At one point, I disabled gdm from starting in runlevel 2, and rebooted. I then typed into tty2 "sleep 60 ; reboot" and in tty1 "gdm" and hoped for a reboot if the graphical login didn't appear. No reboot occurred, my black screen remained.

I've issued acpi=off at kernel command line (from grub) and disabled all acpi services. That seemed to work for a few hours but now I get the black screen again every time. There's no option in the BIOS to switch from acpi to apm, so I've done all I can do on the software side of things.
