General :: Ubuntu - Kubuntu - Screen Suddenly Went Black
Jul 13, 2010I 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.

Dec 8, 2010I turned on my Acer laptop and during bootup it seemed normal. After it passed the blue Acer logo, all I could see is a black screen and a black cursor outlined in white in the shape of an X. Thinking it would be a one time thing, I turned it off again.it still was a black screen.

May 1, 2010After the upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 resulted in a black screen after reboot, I decided to don't waste more time, backed up my data and made a fresh installation.
First Issue [solved]: After I inserted the Kubuntu 10.04 Live-CD and started the system, I got to the CD's boot-mode selection menu. When I selected "Install Kubuntu", I got the Kubuntu bootscreen, but the system hang up then. I was able to solve this problem through pressing F6 in the boot-mode selection menu and setting "nomodeset". I also had to remove "quit splash" from the boot-entry line. Afterwards the installation process was fine.
Second Issue: I wanted to boot my new installated system, but, off course, got the blank screen again. So I edited the Grub-entry for recovery mode in the grubmenu (replaced "quit splash" with "nomodeset") and booted into recovery mode. I selected "netroot", and installed the proprietary nvidia-drivers with "apt-get install nvidia-current". Afterwards I ran "nvidia-xconfig" to generate the xorg.conf. To solve the blank screen issue, I edited the /boot/grub/grub.cfg the same way I described above and rebooted. Now I don't get a blank screen anymore, but I also don't get an XServer. The system boots now (off course without splash and "unquit"), but drops me into the tty1... When I type "sudo service kdm start", I get into KDM and can login, but I get many errors and crash-reports there. I also don't have any internet. I only have internet when booting in recovery mode and select "netroot".
I'm a bit surprised that Ubuntu released a LTS-Version that causes so much trouble (I've searched the forum and it seems that I'm not the only one with such big problems). Has Ubuntu droped support for NVidia-users?

Ubuntu :: Slow Boot Time - Boot To Bios And Then The Screen Goes Black With A Blinking Cursor
Oct 14, 2010I've got two laptops running Ubuntu. Both have had Lucid installed from the live cd. I have upgraded one of them to Maverick. Both distributions are running great after they boot up, but I haven't experienced any faster boot times with either distibution. Both boot to Bios and then the screen goes black with a blinking cursor in upper left corner of the screen. The black screen remains for 30 to 45 seconds and then I get the Ubuntu splash screen for maybe 5 seconds, and then desktop. Why am I not seeing faster boot times? I realize 45 to 60 seconds is good compared to other os's, but I anticipated much faster boot times. Shut down on the other hand is quite fast at maybe 5 to 10 seconds. Does anyone else get this black screen on boot? Seems like wasted time cause I can't tell what's going on during the time there is a black screen. This is not a real big deal breaker, as I don't reboot very often, but I just wonder why bootup isn't faster.

Jul 20, 2010I recently installed my first distro, Gnome Ubuntu Linux 10.04 via WUBI dual-booting alongside my Windows. I decided to try the other desktop environments. So I installed Kubuntu-Desktop (KDE) and Xubuntu-Desktop (XFCE) using Synaptic Package Manager.
However, Kubuntu KDE changed the boot splash screen into a from the default Ubuntu one, to the Kubuntu one. Also Xubuntu XFCE changed the log-in screen to the Xubuntu one. I DO NOT want these changes. I just wanted Normal Ubuntu-branded Ubuntu Linux with the option of logging in into the desktop environment of my choice.
Ubuntu :: Kubuntu Can't Change The Boot Splash Screen
Aug 3, 2011I have a Dell dimension 8300 dual booting with windows 7 and ubuntu 10.10. I installed BURG on it since I didnt like the text grub style. Problem is I cant change the splash screen no matter what I do, or changes I make. My screen resolution is 1280x1024 and my video card is an Nvidia card.
Originally the splash screen was a purple screen with ubuntu 10.10 white text and some dots on it. After installing the plymouth themes, now it has changed to a blue screen with Kubuntu(?) on it... Id like to know whats wrong and how can I change the splash screen?
UPDATE: Ok I went to synaptic and saw plymouth.kubuntu-logo and kubuntu-text were installed and enabled (had litle ubuntu logo to the side). So I removed those 2 files then did a reboot. Now im back to the purple screen with ubuntu 10.10 white text and the dots but I still cant change the splash screen...
Ubuntu Installation :: Kubuntu 11.04 Freezes At The Boot Screen When Installing With Wubi
Aug 16, 2011When I installed Kubuntu 11.04 using Wubi it did not load the Ubiquity installer like it normally does. Instead the boot screen (image attached so you know what I mean) remains displayed for the entire installation. The installation works fine once installed but I was wondering if this is normal or not?

Mar 26, 2010So, the problem is that _sometimes_ (I'd say around 5-10% of the time) when booting ubuntu, right after the splash screen (that pulsing white ubuntu logo on a black background), when normally GDM should pop in, I get a black screen and it stays like that and I have to reboot the machine. This is very annoying because I get this behaviour sometimes 3-4 times in a row... Also, sometimes (maybe half of the times when I get that black screen) the HDD LED on my laptop remains lit and the caps lock LED flashes. Right now I'm using a clean install of ubuntu 9.10, but I had the exact same problem with a 9.04 install and a 9.04 to 9.10 upgrade (so I had 9.04, I had the problem, I then upgraded to 9.10, the problem remained, and then I did a fresh install of 9.10 and the problem is still there).
My hardware is a Asus X51RL laptop, with a dual core CPU, 2GB Ram and a ATI X1100 video board. I also could paste a copy of any log you want me to, to help you identify the problem (but it would probably take some time for me to get that black screen, and also I hope that the logs remain saved after I do a hard reboot).

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Boot Screen Goes Black
Sep 8, 2010I'm going through this again. I posted this here as well as in the Mint forums because the architecture is very similar. What happens is that when I reboot, the screen goes black at the steps of the boot after about three seconds with each step. So I see the bios enumeration, then the screen goes black; I see the start up sequence with "Linux Mint" and the green/white dots beneath it, then the screen goes black; then finally, I hear (but don't see) the beep when the password login prompt shows. But if I get into the bios (dealing with the screen going black each time) and change it to "load default settings", then it reboots and works fine. Till the next time I boot.

Ubuntu Installation :: Get Kubuntu Boot Screen At Startup - Low Graphics Mode By Default
Jul 19, 2010I wanted to update my NVIDIA Drivers from the default to 256 (or whatever the latest is on their site). After the upgrade from their site and installing it through a command line, I've had trouble. For some reason, whenever I boot, I get the Kubuntu boot screen, even though I run plain Ubuntu. Also, after I boot it defaults to low graphics mode, and I have to hit "restart X" to make it run normal. Even then, visual effects won't enable, and games won't run, because apparently the "hardware device cannot be found". My attempts to revert back to old drivers have been unsuccessful; It says it's running the recommended right now, but I still have all these problems.

I really am a newby here but I think that the blkid command gives me my uuid. The uuid in the /dev/disk/by-uuid directory is in blue so I'm guessing that this is a symbolic link. And then, when I try to create a symbolic link with the ln command, it already exists... But the issue is that the UUID that is referenced in the error displayed is not the same as the UUID in my /dev/disk/by-uuid directory.
Ubuntu :: Boot Never Completes (screen Goes Black)
Feb 7, 2010I have had a really bad day (the first, after months of faultless operation)) with my Acer 5720Z laptop running Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty. First thing was at the second startup today, nothing other than totally black or white screens showed during boot. However, the ubuntu jingle was heard after the normal time it takes to boot, so I was certain it was strictly some video problem.
Ok, so after having thought about this for a while and reading about similar issues here and there on the web I was struck by the fact that not even the Acer screen with bios info etc. showed normally just after power-up. By then I had dragged a second, stationary computer to the livingroom, so I thought I'd check if there'd be video output from the Acer's VGA port. There was, and the ubuntu desktop looking perfectly normal. Aha! - only the backlight working on the Acer's LCD screen, but no video? So I thought I'd check for loose connectors to the LCD or damaged wiring (installed replacement LCD myself some months ago with no problems). This is going to be easy, I thought (being more of a gearhead/hardware type of guy) Turned the Acer laptop off and unscrewed the screen frame stuff. Now I just start it and switch back to internal display... For some reason (too many unclean shutdown(s) during the early "blind" nervous phase of the problem, I suppose) the Acer now hangs with a black screen before boot is complete and I am unable to switch between external/internal monitors. Fortunately I can use the external monitor (video is stuck to the external VGA on startup), get to command prompt etc. so there should be hope. But I have no idea how to sort this out after many unsuccessful attempts. (Recovery mode, disk check etc.)
I can't find any sort of safe graphics mode option in the GRUB menu. Booting from the Ubuntu 9.04 ("live" option) also finally stalls with a black screen and nothing further happening, just like the install that's on the PC.
how Ubuntu 9.10 runs on a stationary HP Pavillion 1840 which I rescued from the trash just like the Acer laptop.

Nov 13, 2010I have an asus netbook with an intel GMA integrated chip. until now i had been using the out of the box drivers, hadn't changed anything, and it worked ok. I tried installing a graphics driver and rebooted. This time i got the command line only, logged in, uninstalled the driver (apt-get remove) and rebooted, now after i choose ubuntu in GRUB an instant after the ubuntu loading screen comes on it goes to black. I'm trying to find a way from within GRUB to get it to do a command-line boot so i could force it to use the default drivers (how would i do this exactly?), but when i press "e" and then put "text" at the end of the "kernel" line it doesn't change anything. so what do i do from here? worst case scenario i reinstall ubuntu.

Ubuntu :: Only Boot With Black / Blank Screen?
Jul 9, 2011 so I had a black screen when I was starting up my PC instead of the normal Ubuntu with the dots underneath. I have Ubuntu 11.04 on a dual-boot with Windows Vista. It would still boot normally and work fine but I wanted it with the Ubuntu and dots etc.
After looking at many sites to try and fix it that didn't work I found this: [URL]. That didn't work so I found this next: [URL]
I did what it said by removing
Code:
vt.handoff=7
Then when rebooted I got the Ubuntu with the purple background and dots but the boot would hang (always when all 5 dots were orange). I booted into recovery mode and I chose "File System Check" on reboot and it would get to the bit with 5 orange dots then it would check disk for errors and go to login screen then work fine.
If I added vt.handoff=7 it would boot normally with a black screen again.
RESULTS.txt is from when I had vt.handoff=7 removed and I was in Recovery mode>resume normal boot>"sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script.sh".
RESULTS1.txt is from when I booted up with the disk check and was in Terminal.
EDIT: Also just recently I'm getting a lot of boot hangs, freezes (where everything on screen will freeze and if I was playing music in Banshee it repeats the last 3 seconds until I hold down button on PC), and it will sometimes just restart randomly. Not sure if that related or not...
