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.

Fedora Installation :: Fedora11 - Black/blank Screen When Starting X Server?

Oct 14, 2009

I have just installed Fedora11 on my machine - the installation failed to start the x server so I had to install with the textbased installer. When the installation completes, I boot up and first I update Fedora with "yum update". Then I install a nvidia driver with "yum install kmod-nvidia". Then I run nvidia-xconfig to make a config file. But when I try to run "X", I just get a blank screen. I can run system-config-display fine, and setup my resolution etc. The log doesnt seem to give me any errors.I have two Geforce Fx3500 card in the machine.

Red Hat / Fedora :: Not Booting - Getting Black Screen With Copyright Notice Stays At Screen Forever

Nov 3, 2010

I downloaded Fedora-14-i686-Live-Desktop.iso and used the Fedora liveusb-creator to put this on a 2GB USB stick. Everything seemed to have gone well and it said complete; however, when I try to boot from the USB stick, I get a black screen with a linux copyright notice at the top and it just stays at that screen forever. I tried this on two computers with the same results.

I'd previously tried with Ubuntu and had a similar issue, it would go to a purple (if I remember correctly) Ubuntu screen and it sat that forever.

Fedora :: 13 - Screen Goes Black For A Few Seconds And Then Returns To The Login Screen

Mar 7, 2011

This problem started within the last few minutes. I run a program in my browser that uploads data from my machine (ubuntu) to another machine (Fedora 13), for manipulation and then spits back the data that does not match our standardised information.

When I tried to run it a few minutes ago, it seemed to take a long time to make the connection. I went back and checked the machine, everything was connected and fine. I decided to reboot the machine from within KDE and then try again. Same result. I went to the machine again and tried to login through KDE, the screen goes black for a few seconds and then returns me to the login screen. I switched over to a virtual terminal and was able to login using the same credentials. I checked the .xsessions-errors file and this is what I am seeing:

CentOS 5 Server :: Black Screen With VNC / Sort It?

Feb 9, 2010

I had VNC working with accounts that were logged in. Then I went thru the procedure for vnc-itsp-config (step 5 of the how-to-centos5 vnc server wiki) so that I could log in remotely to an account that was not already logged in.

All went well until....I tried to log in and all I get is this X11 window with a X cursor and a black screen.

I have restarted the vncserver service but I suspect it is a x11 issue (just a guess).

Ubuntu Installation :: Screen Black With Xorg Server

May 20, 2010

I have upgrade Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.4 on my Dell Inspiron Desktop and OKI TV monitor. After reboot the new version I can read the menu.lst on the screen and i select ubuntu 10.4 but after the screen is black permanently and the boot process stop. I have tried with a acer monitor and all is OK, but i would like use the OKI monitor. With the OKI monitor I have not problems with old versions of Ubuntu, neither Ubuntu CD Live, neither Knoppix. I have see that there is not /etc/X11/xorg.conf so I have tried with differents xorg.conf files:

a) with dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xerver-xorg
b) copying xorg.conf from Ubuntu 8.10 Live LoW Graphics mode
c) copying xorg.conf from Knoppix Live

but the result is the same : black screen I have tried also Xorg -configure but it say a warning message: "Server is running" I think that start up script dont read xorg.conf and the boot process is blocked

Ubuntu :: Cannot Boot - Black Screen With Blinking Server

Jun 4, 2011

I built my computer and having trouble booting Ubuntu, here are my system specifications.
System Specifications:
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 3.0GHz Quad-Core
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5750 1GB 128-bit GDDR5
Motherboard: ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3
Memory: 4G G.SKILL Ripjaws DDR3 1600
PSU: Cooler Master GX Series 750w
HDD: 500GB Samsung 7200 RPM

I have Ubuntu on a DVD and have tried both my DVD drives, AND an external DVD drive and have no luck. I have tried different versions of Ubuntu and get the same problem. So I boot it fine and it gets the the Ubuntu splash screen and I select "Install Ubuntu" it loads for a few seconds then goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left corner. It sits here forever. I tested on my friends computer with very similar processor and it blinks for about 3 seconds then an Ubuntu splash screen appears with dots under it and it loads and works fine.

So I am 100% positive the DVD is fine and should work for my processor also. I do have Windows 7 currently installed. And I made a 100 GB partition via Windows 7 using Easeus Partition Manager. If it matters, I did test Ubuntu on my computer by installing it from VirtualBox and it worked fine...but I'd rather do a dualboot because I don't like running an OS in another OS and its performance isn't so great when emulating an Operating System...

Server :: Booting On New Kernel After Update - Screen Keeps Black

Jul 20, 2011

I've got a problem with my Ubuntu Server 11.04 amd64, I think the problem comes from GRUB 2. Here is my problem : I updated my server and I now have Linux 2.6.38-10-server (in addition to 2.6.38-8) and, when I try to boot on version "10", I think I have a Kernel Panic because the screen keeps black and there is no use of the HDD (I can ear it working with version "8"). I also looked at /boot/grub/grub.cfg and I didn't saw any diference between the lines for v10 and those for v8 (except for "8">"10" of course).

I tried with Recovery Mode too, with this result : Loading Linux 2.6.38-10-server... Loading initial ramdisk...

> No use of the HDD (I don't ear it), and it's "frozen", can't do anyting but reboot it by ACPI (nothing happend when hitting "Num Lock") Another question : can we have no submenus in Grub2?

CentOS 5 Server :: VNC - Black Screen - Missing Window Managers?

May 19, 2010

I have followed to the letter the wiki HowTo on setting up VNC and it works (sort of). I get a VNC session (doesn't matter whether I connect locally, over ssh, or using a vnc client), but all I get is the dreaded black screen with an xterm top left. If I then execute 'startkde' from within the xterm I get my normal desktop up. What I am however getting, is a new desktop session. And this happens each time I start a vnc session. I.e. I end up with a LOT of user sessions for my username. (As shown up by a 'users' cmd.) Consequently, each new time I start a vnc session, I get <x> (representing the previous nr of vnc logins) number of xterm windows + 1 appearing. I never get the logged on session.

However I've also noticed my .xsession-errors file filling up. I've googled around enough to get the impression that the reason I'm not getting the logged-on session up in vnc is due to a missing window manager. but haven't hit on the right google combo to fix the issue. I can believe there being a missing window manager due the following related story;About a year ago, I went to switch from KDE to Gnome. Decided I didn't want to and then set out to switch back to KDE. Each time I installed/uninstalled via the GUI "Add/Remove Software". Eventually I got back to KDE and it appeared to work since, so I left well enough alone.t is only now attempting to set up VNC, I have come across all these issues. I firmly believe VNC will work as expected if I can resove the apparent missing window manage issue.xstartup

#!/bin/sh
# Ensures an xterm is always available
( while true ; do xterm ; done ) &

CentOS 5 Server :: After Fresh Install And Reboot Getting Black Screen

Jan 26, 2011

I am running a dell poweredge 2600 in which i just now did a fresh install of Centos 5.5 KDE. The install went perfectly with no hiccups or errors. I reboot the server and centos dose its normal checking everything and giving a Green"OK" or Red"Error" and everything seems to be fine. I then get to a black screen with a X mouse cursor, i can move the cursor freely and i can turn the Num Lock key on and off and i can do a Ctrl+Alt+F5 and then reboot with a Ctrl+Alt+Del smoothly, but i just cant get the centos to boot up all the way into the GUI.

Ubuntu Servers :: Black Screen Booting Natty Server 11.04 Both CD And USB Install

May 11, 2011

I tried booting up natty server on both a unetbootem usb flash drive install and on CD. I get the menu of options to install like Install Ubuntu Server, Install Ubuntu Server 9 expert install, Cloud, etc. Hitting install either the 1st or 2nd option leads to a black screen but not at a frozen state(I can still reboot with ctrl-alt-del). The server Im installing on is a ibm system-x rack with a single xeon and a raid5 already setup to be used for installation. Now Im back to using lucid 10.04.2 which I might consider upgrading through Update Manager since I cant get natty to boot correctly with a working display. Anyone having similar problems on Natty server stable release?Also as I post this, I dont see a ubuntu server prefix, maybe it should be added?

General :: Lost All Running Programs On A Server (inside *screen) When Client Restarted?

Apr 21, 2011

I sshed to a server a week ago, then ran *screen* and created a few windows in my screen session. I then ran a few programs on those screens. All the programs were running in the background (I run them with &). I did not close or detach from the screen sessions. So I was still connected to those screen sessions from my client machine.

Then, this morning I find my client machine rebooted. When I do screen -ls I find there are no screens available to reattach to. But that is not the worst part. The strange thing is that all my processes (which were running on the server) have disappeared as well, even though they were running in the background. I thought 1) using screen I will be able to re-attach to old screens when my client restarts, 2) If I have sshed to a server and have run programs in the background, restarting the client should not stop those programs (even if I had not used screen).

Ubuntu Installation :: Server Install Fails - Black Screen With Blinking Cursor

Feb 5, 2010

I was going to set up an ubuntu server, but ran into some issues. When I try to install ubuntu server 9.10, it immediately goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor as soon as I press enter on the menu. I've tried pressing F6 and editing options - noapic, nolapic, irqpoll, vga=[something...] and nothing worked. I then downloaded a standard ubuntu desktop cd, and the livecd works, and I can successfully start the install!

I've heard that I should probably use the server install if I want to use this as a server (which I do; webserver for a group of people, website, ftp, ssh.) I've also heard that it's possible to just install everything needed overtop of an ubuntu desktop base. What should I do? Are there other things I should try to make the server install work? Or is it not worth the effort, and I should just go with a desktop install and then work from there? tasksel? (It's a Dell XPS, the graphics card is NVIDIA Geforce 9800 GT).

Fedora Networking :: Vpnc On F12 Broken / Rdesktop Client Opens A "black" Window And Goes No Further?

Jan 9, 2010

I'm having problems with vpnc on F12 that work fine on F10 and F11. On F12, I can connect and can do some activities, but so far I noticed the following (show-stopping) issues:Attempting to connect to an Oracle database using either sqlplus or TORa hangs and eventually times out. I tried both the 11G and 10G instant clients.Copying a file to the host via a smb:// mount in nautilus freezes. An empty file is created though.
A rdesktop client opens a "black" window and goes no further. I attempted to downgrade vpnc on my F12 workstation from vpnc-0.5.3-4.fc12.x86_64 to vpnc-0.5.3-3.fc11.x86_64 to no avail. I also downgraded libgcrypt too and this didn't help either. Moreover, I upgraded these to the F13 rawhide version - still no luck.

I also confirmed on a F11 virtual machine that these work and that it doesn't work on 2 x64 and 1 x386 F12 machines. (The configuration and the host are the same in all cases.)

Fedora :: Black Screen Upon Boot Up?

Oct 28, 2009

I downloaded a bunch of updates with PackageKit, afterwards I had to restart. Now when I did, all I would get is a blank screen, no blinking prompt line or anything. I did a cold boot and the same thing happened. So, I tried it a third time and all is fine. I'm running FC11 and I'm glad everything is back to normal,but what might have caused this in the first place?

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?

Fedora Installation :: Black Screen After New 12 Comes Up?

Sep 15, 2010

After I upgraded F11 to F12 on an x86_64, the new system boots and the daemons come up, then the screen goes black and the computer restarts. But then it won't boot at all. It just keeps restarting.It could be a monitor driver problem. The one time I managed to press "I" fast enough to bring GRUB up, I tried adding "nomodeset". Nothing changed. The monitor is an HP 2009m, so it should not need "nomodeset" anyway. Xfree86.cf has not changed from F11 to F12.

I have a full DVD, so I can bring up Rescue Mode. I had hoped to find clues in (/mnt/sysimage)/var/log/messages, but nothing is being written to it. Once after I rebooted off the hard disk from Rescue Mode, I witnessed a long SElinux conversion. That disquiets me. But disabling SElinux does not solve the problem either.Can anyone suggest some kernel options that might overcome this problem? I shrink from reinstalling F11 from scratch and having to restore all my files from my backup system!P.S. I just found in my personal X11 log a message to the effect that /usr/lib64/dvi/nouveau_dri.so is missing. So it is; the directory has 12 drivers and not this one. If I remember right, "nouveau" often figures in trouble reports.P.P.S. As myself in Rescue Mode I can use xinit to bring X up! But it has only a vanilla text window and no mouse cursor, so I cannot use it or get out of it.

Fedora :: Black Screen With Mouse Only

I have done three times clean install for this and still i can't find what causes it.
When i do my clean install and configure my installation, after reboot i can login.
I see the login splash and then, i see a black screen and the only thing i can do is open applications with ALT+F2 command and change TTYS to login as root and i can move my mouse pointer. When i startx with root everything works awesome... Probably i changed something i musn't... Can the option "start everytime with new session" cause it, if yes how can i fix it and if not what can i do?

Fedora :: Black Screen After ATI Driver Install / Fix It?

Feb 8, 2009

I am running Fedora 10 on a Gateway Machine. I tried to install the corresponding drivers for acceleration but it seems to have broken the display. After the loading splash screen, the screen goes black and does not respond to anything. I did manage to see the Grub boot loader by pressing 3 a number of times while booting the machine. Any ideas for how to revert the computer to its normal display so i can try again at getting these drivers working. It is a tad bit annoying not having a display but hell, this distro is already as far as I can see 10x as good as Ubuntu.
