Jun 3, 2011Yesterday I got an update in update-manager: gdm blabla 3.2... installed. restarted. And I see nothing after the boot screen (plymouth, default one) display stays blank, even caps-lock doesn't turn on its indicator on the keyboard. hdd activity indicator on the laptop doesn't blink, only power indicator is on...
the only way is to press and hold power button to turn it off. restart and I see the same picture........
I thought that's hdd, because yesterday ubuntu froze completely on a ..... video (adobe I hate you!)
so I turned laptop off and started again (before it froze I installed that gdm "security-"update) and saw the blank screen for the first time.
then I booted into "single" mode, manually starting X OR GDM gives me the same blank screen with frozen/unusable keyboard, caps-, numlock do not word, I can't switch virtual terminals...
so I've reinstalled the whole system an hour ago. Everything went well!!!!I booted into clean 11.04 (except my configs, cuz I haven't formated /home partition). Then I restored my ppa's (/etc/apt) that I backed up from the 'single' mode... updated apt database, restored all of my backuped apps (dpkg --get-selections >... dpgk --set-selections <...)an hour to update everything. installed ati driver, RESTART, and what I see? BLANK SCREEN RIGHT AFTER PLYMOUTH.
startx from single mode = blank screen
gdm start from single mode = blank screen
I can't use ubuntu, PLEASE HELP ME fixing that crap.
I downloaded yesterday gdm blabla3, blabla3.1 and blabla3.2
downgraded the crapped gdm-0ubuntu3.2 to 3 and to 3.1 NO DIFFERENCE. I JUST GET BLANK SCREEN.
before restoring the apps everything worked.
and yesterday THE ONLY INSTALLED UPDATE WAS gdm
there are absolutely NO ERRORS in /var/log/*I viewed every file from that dir, that was created at boot attempt...no errors, nothing, just blank screen
Ubuntu :: Live CD - Doesn't Boot - "Loading" The Screen Goes Blank And The System Shutdown
Jan 1, 2011I've made a Live CD of version 10.04 on a machine running 10.04 (amd64). The disk boots fine on a 2nd machine but does not boot on the machine that created it. The CD/DVD is new and works for other things so I don't think it is this. The Live CD gets to the ISOLINUX screen but instead of "Loading" the screen goes blank and the system shuts down. I've tried everything I can think of (the disk works fine on another machine).

May 9, 2010I am having the same problem, as soon as X tries to load my screen just goes blank. I have an ATI Radeon 9550. At first I tried switching between VGA and DVI as well but upon ruling that out, I switch to my on-board video card and that is working thus far, but I'm trying very hard to figure out a way to be able to switch back. Anyways I'll check back in later on if I have any new information I will post.

Apr 18, 2011When I try to connect a projector to my laptop (already running) and hit the fn+f7 (the designated button for switching screen), nothing happens. I see "no source found" on projector screen and my laptop screen works perfectly. Now if I restart the laptop with the projector connected, I see all the intial booting messages on the projector screen (not on my laptop), then the gnome login screen appears on both the projector screen and laptop (when the login screen appears on laptop it looks like it has lower resolution than my usual laptop resolution). But immediately after I log in, my laptop screen goes blank, and projector screen becomes the only active screen.
If I restart without the projector, again all normal operation on laptop screen is restored.
I feel like I am missing some very silly options. Any help is appreciated.
Here is the output of xrandr when the laptop is connected:

A "Black Flash" is when my computer screen turns blank (but you can still see the backlight) and i have to press the NUMpad ENTER button, shake my mouse furiously, or click my mouse, which sometimes causes undesired actions, but gets me my screen back. sometimes the Black Flashes last a milisecond or 5 seconds or i have to hold the power button and restart because it won't come back on.

Ubuntu :: Systemtray: Blank Space / Icons Not Showing
May 24, 2011As can be seen in the title of this post, I'm not quite sure what's going on exactly, but my systemtray icons in Lubuntu 11.04 are not shown the way they should. There's blank space between them, the equivalent of 2 or 3 icons, and the blank space is 'created' while starting up, as though they are programs. See the attached screenshot to get an idea what I'm talking about.I'm really happy with Lubuntu, this is at the moment the only thing that's bugging me. It used to be 2 empty spaces in the systemtray, now it's 3.

Dec 26, 2010Is there a known problem with the Lubuntu 10.10 image here? I have downloaded it to two different computers, then burned the images to two different blank CD's (different brands) and neither loads. Both only get as far as the Lubuntu menu, once ENTER is pressed at that point to load the LiveCD, a blank screen eventually appears with a flashing cursor at the upper left of the screen, that's it. They were both burned using the slowest burn speeds available.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: (Grub - Windows 7 - Unknown Filesystem) - Screen Goes Blank And Screen On-button Begins To Blink
Jan 26, 2011The day started as usual until I got the very bright idea to install Ubuntu. A new OS along side W7, that sounded great. I checked some guides on the Internet, it was all very straight forward. Install it and Grub will show you the OS:es when you boot up. I installed Ubuntu, rebooted. After the BIOS messages the screen goes blank and my screen on-button begins to blink, as if trying to find a signal, I press enter, it reboots instantly. After BIOS messages I get to a screen that says "GRUB error: uknown filesystem grub rescue>"
I've looked through everything here and nothing works. I've tried to fix the mbr-thingy using Windows Repair and even though it says "one partition was updated with new boot-thingy" when I reboot, I get into that very same grub rescue. I think my setup has something to do with it. I run RAID0 (2x360Gb hard drives), first having C: at 50Gb and then the rest as F: for programs and such. What I did was that I shrunk the F: part and then used that as partition for Ubuntu. Also please have a look at these screenshots, my partitiontables and such seems completely wacky to the raid: Where should the boot-loader go? I'm very, very new at this. I've had Ubuntu Netbook remix on my netbook for a time but still treat me as an utter beginner.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Screen Goes Blank Or Boots To Tty1 After Loading Screen?
Apr 15, 2011like 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.

If I let it boot into the latest one 2.6.35-23, I get the Ubuntu 10.10 splash screen for a second then a blank screen, same with 2.6.35-22. I have to run with 32-25 to get it to load the gui.

Ubuntu Installation :: Freeze/Blank Screen After Screen Off 11.04?
May 4, 2011I've been running Ubuntu 10.10 very smoothly for a while now. Decided to upgrade to 11.04 - managed to corrupt the hard disk the first time by letting the laptop hibernate part of the way through but reinstalled from a live CD of 11.04 and it's now working except for this issue.
If I shut the screen on my laptop (or press the screen off button) either the screen won't come back on or it will but frozen (I can move the mouse but not click on anything etc.) In this state music continues to play (from spotify under wine) and if I press my hibernate shortcut (power button) the computer hibernates, only to wake into the same situation. I've got a Dell Latitude D520, upgraded to a bigger hard disk and more ram - the ubuntu partition has 50gb. Windows is working fine.
Edit: I noticed a sticky thread which includes something about a blank screen but I think this is a different issue?

Ubuntu :: Blank Screen On Ctl-alt-F1?
May 1, 2011OS: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-31-generic. All updates are current.
Configuration -CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K, quad core 3.30GHz
Memory: 16GB RAM (10% used), 20GB swap-space (0% used)
Video: Two ASUS EAH5450 Silent cards, each with ATI Radeon HD-5450 GPU and 512 MB
Monitors: Sceptre 22", 1680x1050; both connected to one video card. The second video card has no monitors connected at this time.

[Code].....
The PC boots up normally into Gnome desktop environment. When I hit ctl-alt-[F1-F6], -The screens blank out. One screen gets no video signal, as evidenced by a blinking power light The other screen is completely blank (not even a blinking cursor) If I hit ctl-alt-F7, I get the Gnome desktop back. I have been able to determine that even if the screen is blank, and appears completely dead, the system processes my keystrokes. For example, if I pretend that I am at the log-in screen and type <username> <enter>, then <password><enter>, then 'xinit -fg white -bg blue -- :1 vt8'<enter>, the PC switches to virtual terminal 8, and shows a shell window. From that point onwards, my keyboard entries show up in white-on-blue characters, and the behavior of this shell window is perfectly normal. I can log into another Linux box using ssh, start a Gnome / KDE / XFCE4 / LXDE session and work on the machine normally; or start another X-session and a desktop environment of my choice. My guess is, the console is invoked perfectly well; it is set to display black-on-black characters.
What I Am Looking For:Confirm if my guess about black-on-black console is valid.
Suggest how I could get a screen showing white characters on black (or indeed, any combination I could read)
Fedora Hardware :: Black Screen \ Can Force A Shutdown, Login And Get The Same Black Screen?
Mar 6, 2010I 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.

Ubuntu :: Blank Screen After GNU Grub
Feb 20, 2010Anyway one day I start my computer and instead of starting normally it comes up with a screen which says GNU GRUB version 1.97~beta at the top. I selected the option Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-19-generic as I figured this is what normally loads without being prompted in the grub menu, but after this I got the ubuntu logo for a few seconds then my screen goes blank. My laptop is a hp510.
