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.

General :: 10.10 Booting To Terminal - Black Screen Instead Of The Normal Purple Screen

Dec 8, 2010

i am fairly new to Ubuntu. i was using it fine for a month, but today, when i booted my computer up, it came up with a black screen instead of the normal purple ubuntu screen. the black screen had white text on it, and asked for my username and password. from there, it was a terminal prompt. i have been google searching for a while, and have tried typing "startx", "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop", "sudo gdm", and i have also tryed uninstalling xorg, and reinstalling, and none of these things wanted to do anything for me.

General :: Arch Over Time Screen Jitter Then Black Screen?

Jan 15, 2010

I've been a happy Arch Linux user for years now. Recently, on my eee 1000he (an Atom netbook with intel GMA graphics) I've been seeing strange things. After it has been on for some time (usually hours), the screen starts to jitter, just for a fraction of a second, every now and then. After this has happened some times, the screen goes black (one time it went red). The backlight is still on and I can still ssh to the machine which reacts normal appart from the black screen. I can only regain the screen when rebooting. What could this mean? Is it hardware or software? X logs don't shown anything weird, where should I look? I haven't found anyone with the same problem on the net.

General :: Black Screen After Installation Of Linux

Jan 26, 2010

I've just installed Zorin OS onto the hard drive of my Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop. I used the entire drive, overwriting Ubuntu9.10. Now my screen is black. I think the system loaded correctly - I can hear some welcome music and the active l.e.d. of my drive slows and stops flickering. But I can't see anything!Here's what I tried:

- using the keyboard controls to increase the brightness (no effect).
- connecting a flatscreen monitor from my desktop and attempting to use the FN+f6 keys to change the display from the laptop screen to the other (no effect)
- rebooting
- rebooting into Setup (my laptop screen lights up for perhaps 5 seconds and then goes black again)
- rebooting with Ubuntu 9.04 CD in the drive (no response)
- attempting to reboot with my original Windows ME re-installation disc in the drive (no effect)

General :: Changed Resolution And Now Screen Went Black

Sep 28, 2010

I tried adjusting the resolution in Ubuntu so that it would fit better on my screen. The first one I tried worked ok, but when I tried a higher resolution the screen went black. Now I can't see anything on the screen so I can't change the resolution back to where it was. If I hit esc when booting up, is there anything I can do that will change it back to the default?

General :: Screen Goes Black During Ubuntu 10.10 Install

Feb 21, 2011

I have been trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 in my windows box.I boot with the CD (reset), it starts, I get a black screen with a small logo on the bottom.After a while (with the CD working), the screen goes blank. At this point, the machine reads some more from the CD and then stops... with the screen blank.On the hardrive I have a partition from an older version of linux (Ubuntu 8.something), just the user directories (the partition where I had Linux was killed when I reinstalled Windows).

The machine remains in that state (I've left it on overnight), no HD activity, nothing. Only response I can coax out of it is when I press ctrl+alt+del, and the machine reboots (still, screen is black, no shutdown message).

General :: Unetbootin Just Gives A Black Screen On Boot?

Jan 16, 2011

I have an Acer Aspire 5102 WLMi laptop, that I purchased 5 years ago. It has the following:AMD Turion 64x2 Mobile Technology TL50 (1.6GHz, 512 KB L2 cache)ATI Radeon Xpress 1100120GB PATA HDD hard drive (60 gigs for the C: drive FAT32, 60 for the D: drive, NTFS)I have Windows XP Media Center edition installed on my pc, and I want to install linux. This is my first time installing linux on anything. My laptop's cd drive doesn't work, so I wanted to boot from a USB or from hard disk. I googled around and found unetbootin, which I ran. When I ask it to use the hard disk, I select Debian stable and the one where it loads everything up beforehand, not the netboot. This is because the netboot option wasn't working - it gave me a similar problem. Anyways, I boot up, and I have a choice between unetbootin and windows xp. When I choose unetbootin, it says:

Booting 'Unetbootin'
(hd0,1)
Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0xc

General :: After Installation Of Virtual Box When Rebooting Black Screen

Jul 6, 2011

I have installed virtualbox because i wanted to run .exe files for my job. After installation and configuration it asked me to reboot. From that moment when reboots it returns the full symbol of fedora and then the screen becomes black with white letters. I couldn't login ever again. I am new in Fedora, i don't have a backup of my files and i cant't work. I think that this could be a command line or something like this. Is there any possibility to login even once to copy my files to another disk and then to setup Fedora again?

General :: Cannot Boot, Black Screen After Bios Post?

Apr 6, 2011

I installed a Raid 2+0 a couple of days ago with windows 7, and everything was working fine until today. I left my computer for a couple of hours and when i came back all i see is this black screen with a blinking cursor, then i tried everything on the bios but every time i tried to boot it kept stuck there, right after the bios POST.Then i tried changing the SATA ports, that was something that fixed similar problems on my old Mobo, but this is strange because this mobo has 1 week, and the HD's (2x seagate 500gb) have 2 days, so they should be fine.

Then i tried with my ubuntu lucid lynx live cd, it has saved my life many times, it always works flawlessly and i thought i could use it to restore the boot files, but i was very surprised when it failed as well, it pops a message saying something like "invalid user pwsuid "user: unknown"{0}". Tried it many times with no luck, only that same message...Now i managed to boot from a "slitaz" linux dist. thats about 30mb, it has many useful tools.I can see the partitions/HD's on the Gparted and mount applications, but i still i havent managed to mount the raid i had on my Windows 7 install, im a bit scared of losing data, and i dont even know how to do it.Is there any way to fix thisrom the slitaz live cd?Maybe i could mount the Raid and then restore the Boot files from the slitaz live cd? I have a windows image i could use on the Raid, and i could copy the image files to a partition, make it primary, active and bootable...I really dont know, maybe that wont help either because the ubuntu live cd couldnt boot, i really dont know what whats going on and what could be the cause of this... maybe a worm/virus

General :: Ubuntu - Kubuntu - Screen Suddenly Went Black

Jul 13, 2010

I just installed Ubuntu on my home desktop computer this morning, and I am having fun exploring this new alternative to Microsoft. I originally tried to install Kubuntu, but after multiple unsuccessful attempts I gave Ubuntu a try and it worked like a charm.

Here's what I did: First, I burned the installation CD. Then I booted from that CD and began the installation process. When the Kubuntu desktop came up, and the icons started to appear, the screen suddenly went black. After that it flashed back and forth between the partially loaded desktop and the black screen.
That's as far as I got.

General :: Upgrade 8.04-->10.04 Gives Black Screen With **NO WINDOWS** Message

Jun 23, 2010

Was running Server 8.04 with graphical desktop - no problems. Wanted to upgrade to 10.04, so ran sudo do-release-upgrade --proposed

Upgrade was successful (although so much stuff scrolled by, it's hard to tell if something errored along the way).

Server rebooted and a dark maroon screen said 10.4 is booting, ntp service started etc. and a scrolling series of dots.

Then got a sky blue patterned login screen, so I logged in. Screen then went black, with a movable mouse pointer.

If I do Alt-Tab a panel pops up saying ** NO WINDOWS **

Using Ctrl-Alt-F1 (iirc) got me a command prompt, so I logged in there and ran: startx

This gives me the message:

Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again

So checked runlevel (who -r) and that was set to 2. Changed /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf so RUNLEVEL=5

Rebooted, logged in again, still got black screen + mouse, and **NO WINDOWS**. Logged into terminal and runlevel=5.

Also tried running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but that returns immediately without anything apparently happening(?).

how I can get my KDE graphical environment back up ?
