Ubuntu :: 10.04 Boots To White Screen Most Times?

Apr 25, 2010

About 1/2 - 3/4 of the times I boot my PC to 10.04 RC, It quickly goes into a white screen at the beginning and then just hangs there. I updated from 9.1 and it did this, then I fresh installed and had same issue, including when I tried to boot of the 10.04RC boot CD (before 10.04 was even installed). There is nothing listed under sys/admin/hardware. In all cases, I have to hold power button, and keep rebooting...eventually, it will boot normally. I had no problems in 9.04 (nor on XP which I had on the system originally). I do not have a dual boot system, only ubuntu. I have ATI x1900 video AMD 64 X2 dual core 4200 Asus MSI motherboard 2gig ram 250 gig WD HD

Ubuntu :: Graphics / GUI 10.04 - Skin Flickered Black / Green A Few Times Then White Vertical Lines Started Appearing Down From The Top Of The Screen

Aug 3, 2010

Ever since the problem with Flash started up a few days ago, (Videos Lagging/jumpy/jerky horridly.) I decided to finally switch from 9.10 to 10.04...all was going well until a few minutes ago while I was browsing themes and running Konversation, the skin flickered black/green a few times then white vertical lines started appearing down from the top of the screen to about the middle, (Almost looked like the teeth on a haircomb). I had to then shutdown and restart. What id like to know is are the two connected (My earlier flash problem and this) or how I can fix it, so far it hasn't happened again but I'm starting to worry, I've never had problems with Ubuntu until a few weeks ago.

Slackware :: "Display Is Not Set" ; Boots To Login, Then Frozen Grey/white Screen W. Globes?

May 1, 2010

1st install no good, but did second to fix some possible mistakes.Booted to login prompt and then, after login, nothing until entered telinit 4, then scrambled screen, then changed to probably the normal screen background of grey/white with numerous white globes, but nothing else and cursor moved, but wouldn't function on occasions also got box with login name, password locations.Got message of "Display not set" and that the problem was so complex it couldn't be explained with these minimal resources.Did third full install and changed screen option from my known resolution with framebuffer, to safe standard, but no improvement.Lilo was installed to MBR, and had 2 partitions flagged as bootable (/ and /boot).Found nothing on forums or FAQ, but suppose could give change of kernel a shot, but as used what cd started with, that seems unlikely.

Ubuntu :: Server 11.04 Boots With White Lines Over Text

Jul 24, 2011

I installed Ubuntu server (32-bit) on a Dimension 2200 (256mb ram, celeron processor). When I boot, i get white and black lines over the screen which makes the text beneath it impossible to see. I've (attempted to) post an image showing this.Is there any way to fix this? The text-mode installer and the GRUB menu display fine.I've used ubuntu on many PCs and never seen this happen, and I couldn't find any results when I googled the issue.

Ubuntu :: Netbook Boots Into Setup Multiple Times Before Boot Or Freezes

Jun 4, 2011

I actually have it installed on two of my computers. One is an older Acer Aspire 3100 that dual-boots windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.04, and an Acer Aspire ONE that has Ubuntu 11.04 as main OS. Before Ubuntu, (even currently) I'm a MAC user, and i'm really liking Ubuntu. On my 3100 it works just fine except the screen flicker on wake, but a quick reboot will solve that.

On my Aspire ONE i've had to re-install ubuntu multiple times. (we're talking 5 or 6 in the last month) Sometimes, it'll boot up to absolutely nothing. One time I got a weird error message everytime it booted. The last install froze up a lot, and eventually would only start to boot into setup. I reinstalled Ubuntu, again and it worked until I shut it off. Boot back up, same thing. Threw me right into setup. I was able to get around it after 5 or so tries of rebooting, hitting ALT F11 and somehow got into ubuntu recovery, but loaded normally. I'm using it now and it's working great currently.

Specs on the ONE

1.5GB Ram
8GB SSD (could this be the culprit?)
ATOM (1.8 or 1.6) GHz Processor.

Halfway through this fiasco, I put windows XP on it and used it solid for 3 days without any of the mentioned above issues.

Ubuntu :: Screen Goes Blank Or Boots To Tty1 After Loading Screen?

Apr 15, 2011

like any other Linux newb, I came to Ubuntu because my Windows crashed one time too many. And I chose Ubuntu because "it just works". But these past few days that hasn't been true. I'm posting this from a netbook with Ubuntu, and am having no problems whatsoever, but normally I use an Acer Aspire 5920G laptop. I'll include the specs as written on the sticker:

* Intel Core 2 Duo processor T5250 (1.5GHz etc)
* Up to 1024 MB Nvidia Geforce 8600M GS Turbocache
* 2 GB DDR2

Let me know if you need more details, and I'll add them later. Now, what happened was I clicked "hibernate" while leaving Firefox open. (I've done this hundreds of times, no problem) And when I went to turn it back on the next day there were weird graphical glitches in the loading screen, and it booted to the "tty1" prompt screen. I did a lot of googling and found quite a few posts about it, but the solutions either didn't work, or I didn't understand them. After trying several different suggestions from this forum and others, I managed to delete the graphics drivers. That enabled me to boot in low graphics mode, and naturally, I tried a whole bunch of things to make it work properly again. That only made it worse. Now it went straight from the loading screen to just blanking out and turning the display off. So, I tried new things. Over and over. The weird thing is even when I disconnected my harddrive and ran from a Live USB, the problem persisted. Could there be an issue with the graphics card itself? Anyway, after reconnecting the harddrive I tried to boot again. And it suddenly worked. Even HDMI to my bigger screen worked.

Ubuntu :: Login To Xfce The Screen Goes Black - Flickers A Few Times Then It Brings Back To The Login Screen

Apr 12, 2011

My last setup (years ago) ran fluxbox so because it was familiar I installed it as a secondary to xfce right off the bat. I download a lot of different stuff because I like to try out all the apps I can find but somewhere I broke something. I can still run fluxbox fine, but nither the Xubuntu nor Xfce sessions will run now. Last thing I remember changing was pulse audio(removed it for an experiment I was trying with jack audio), not sure if it is connected but when I try to login to xfce the screen goes black, flickers a few times then it brings me back to the login screen.

I tried failsafe but everytime I do my monitor gives me a "frequency out of range" error. I tried purging and reinstalling xubuntu desktop and xfce settings but I am thinking its my xorg config. My laptop is a Toshiba satellite M305D-s4830 with ATI Radeon 3100 mobile graphics card and I am running Xubuntu 10.10. Unfortunately I also broke the screen, so right now I am stuck with an external monitor till I get a new one.

Ubuntu :: White Screen After Login?

Jan 21, 2010

I'm suddenly experiencing a white screen on my laptop after logging in, possibly as a result of some routine updates last night although I can't find any posts here today recounting similar problems.It's possibly Compiz related as I can get to a visible desktop by blindly using Alt+F2 and entering "metacity --replace". Maybe even a problem with my video drivers?

Ubuntu :: Random White Screen

Oct 25, 2010

I'm new to ubuntu but I've installed ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop and it seems to work fine. But it keeps freezing up on me (sometimes a solid white screen, other times with vertical lines on a white background) and then becomes non-responsive. Sometimes there is a small (about 1in) square where the mouse was when it froze.I have a fairly old computer (emachines T6522). Is there something I can do to keep it from crashing?

Ubuntu :: Cannot Bypass This White Screen

Mar 18, 2011

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 off a desktop. I was using it for quite a while up until last night when out of nowhere while surfin', and browsing, the screen just turned white, I've tried restarting by powering off manually, as I couldn't get it to any other way. After the computer restarts, it might flash black for a sec a couple of times, then back to being white again, the BIOS screen doesn't even show up. It sounds like in the background the computer might still be loading up. My monitor is a 21"LCD, if that means anything?

Ubuntu :: White Screen In Corner After Boot / What To Do?

Jan 26, 2010

I have been using Netbook Remix 9.10 and it's been great until this morning.

Today when I turned it on, after Grub and the loading screen, the system brought up a smaller white screen in the corner with my username@machinename"~$ as the first line.

This looks like a terminal window. I can see my folders and use the system but I get no GUI anymore. Not sure why this is happening.

Tried booting into Recovery and updating the system, but to no avail. I've also searched the forums for the last few hours but have not found anything similar.

Anyone have any idea what to do? code...

Not sure if this is relevant to my problem or not. However, I do remember this happening on my desktop version of 9.10... that was solved by installing 9.04.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 - White Bars Coming Up On Screen?

May 9, 2010

After being on the computer for awhile, it suddenly stops and goes to the purple screen like one would see when turning the computer on, only slightly distorted. after a few moments it switches to a black screen with a flashing _ but you can't type anything, and then it changes so it's blank, and these white bars start to flash on the screen. I just put 10.04 on my computer about two days ago, it's been doing it since. When I first tried to upgrade from 9.10 I encountered a huge error of some sort so I just put a brand new install onto the computer from CD.

Ubuntu :: Screen Goes Teal I Areas That Were Once White.

Feb 16, 2011

I know this is Ubuntu forums, but my other laptop has Ubuntu and I know this is a community full of very smart people (got Ubuntu help the other day).Anyway , this laptop's problem is, the screen goes teal i areas that were once white. Now, originally I thought something was broken, but now my theory is it's a loose connection. On the bottom left of the screen there is a thick black cable that leads up behind the screen and connects with that duct tape looking thing. If I simply lift up on the black cable, the screen goes back to normal.

Ubuntu :: Screen Fades To Black And White With 10.04?

Oct 5, 2010

I have 10.04 installed in a dual boot system with windows 7 pro on 1 desktops and one laptop. Also dual boot on a desktop with windows xp and Ubuntu 10.04. The two desktops run AMD processors and the laptop uses an Intel processor. On the two desktops after booting the screen will fade to black and white and then back to color. While in the black and white the computer is frozen. This happens using Firefox mainly and other programs. It never happens using my laptop with the intel processor. Does Ubuntu 10.04 have a problem with AMD processors? It does it so much it is hard to do anything with the and desktop computers, but I have never seen it happen on my intel laptop.

Ubuntu :: Only Boots Into GUI With Screen Plugged In

Nov 24, 2010

I've got a desktop 10.04 LTS installation working nicely, and leave it logged in processing things for me. I log in remotely and don't always leave the screen plugged into the computer. Trouble is when I reboot it without the screen plugged in it will sometimes boot to a command prompt.If I turn it off, plug in the screen and turn it on again I get into the GUI as normal. I can't see any settings to change this behavior - what am I missing?

Ubuntu :: U10.10 Boots Into Blank Screen / Fix It?

Mar 1, 2011

Something plagues my Ubuntu box since I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 - I end up with a blank screen while booting. I use an Asus F81SE Notebook, and Dual Boot with Windows XP. Everything worked fine with Ubuntu 10.04.

When I start my notebook after the upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10, I come to Grub, and when I select the latest kernel available, the hard disk LED blinks for a second, turns off ... and nothing happens any more. There is just a blinking text cursor.

As I upgraded from the previous Ubuntu version, there was an older kernel left (2.6.32-26-generic), which boots up fine.

I run 64 Bit on an Intel T4200 CPU. Booting the Live CD brings me to the purple screen with the open source logo at the bottom. I tried 32 Bit and 64 Bit versions of Ubuntu 10.10.

I don't seem to find similar problems on this forum. But does anyone know how to find the mistake?

Ubuntu :: Boots To Blank Screen?

Apr 10, 2011

I installed Lucid Lynx to a Gateway Solo Pro 9300(600 Mhz/224 M) and everything looked normal on the display with cursor,icons and abatross background. I rebooted and I have a blank screen with only a cursor showing. I don't think it is a video card problem because I had a normal display upon installation. Is there a way, on boot, to get into a diagnostic mode? what should I look for in the diagnostic mode?

Ubuntu :: 11.04 Boots To Black Screen

Jun 27, 2011

I just set up a ubuntu 11.04 Desktop 32-bit installation on an older pc that I found in the basement. It was running xp before and had 2 hard drives so I left the xp install alone and installed ubuntu on the second hard drive. It all booted up and worked fine until I rebooted it for the 2nd or 3rd time, now after I select ubuntu from grub it just loads to a black screen. Even in recovery mode if flashes the text across the screen and then also goes to a black screen. Now what seemed really wierd is that the same thing occurs if I try to boot from the usb drive i used to install it the first time, but win xp boots fine.

Ubuntu Installation :: 9.1 - Can't Get To Boot - White Pixels At The Top Most Row Of The Screen

I recently downloaded Ubuntu 9.1 and burned it to a CD. However, I can't seem to get it to boot. I got to the main menu and selected to run it directly from CD, and the Ubuntu symbol showed up saying it was loading things, but then the screen went black and nothing happened even if I waited over 15 minutes. During this time the HDD light was flashing every second or two, and I could see about three white pixels at the top most row of the screen.
