I'm brand new to Ubuntu. I'm normally running w7, but since i had an unformatted partition spare i figured i should install Ubuntu to it (i've installed ubuntu once before, but i never really used it).
Problem is i can't even start the live OS or installation. As soon as i get past the boot-screen the whole screen turns violet, flickering.
I've noticed in many versions of Fedora is that the blue colors don't seem so right. They appear more like violet in comparison to the Nvidia proprietary driver.I've tried playing with the new color profiles in F13 but none of them fixed this particular problem
View 8 Replies View RelatedI noticed that in Ubuntu, the black color is not completely black. It has a violet teint, both in the startup screen showing the Ubuntu dots loading and in the terminal.
Does anyone know why this is so, and how to change it to completely black?
Hi All,
I don't know why but my Kubuntu system gets freeze after some period of usage. I believe it is random because I don't see any fixed time period or any software. But my knowledge is yet limited in Ubuntu, so what are the places I can check if it has any h/w or s/w issues ??
Just to let you guys know, Originally I had only Ubuntu installed. But I installed Kubuntu just few days ago along with Ubuntu using,
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
Any reply is really appreciated ...
Thanks,

HTML Code:

It is a famous chair manufacture, which produce the famous line "Aeron Chairs". When you are on that web page, if you move your mouth to the "product" tag near the top of the page and click on "seating", you will see all their fancy chairs. Then after I click on the first model, I realize my entire ubuntu (10.04) was hung.
The month can still move, but sluggish and everything else lost responses, including keyboard and gnome panel and etc. And the only thing I can do is a hard reboot. And this problem is reproducible.
I can't find any error message from .xsession-errors, or dmesg, or syslog, or user.log or any log.
Is this a known bug for firefox or ubuntu?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was upgrading manually my ALSA to the latest version -1.0.23-, so after reboot I got several errors related to ALSA telling me that NO SOUND CARDS Found. so the system is freezed when tries to connect to the network but after that, the system is stopped, nothing else happens, I tried to Ctrl+C and reboot as "single user mode" and still nothing, when I rebooted I can see a message that says: "busy trying to mount /" .So my questions are:
1. is there a way to log into the system?
2. is there a way to deactivate this driver on startup?
3. when I can login, how can I remove the failed alsa driver?
if this helps, I have another linux distro running in the same HDD, so maybe I can do something for debian for that distro
Everything went fine this morning on the Install. Then the box said there were 121 updates. I click YES to update. After an hr updates had finished, and reboot was necessary. Only a black screen came up. I have 2 lights on my keyboard blinking, no hard drive activity light. Waited several minutes, nothing. So I did a reboot back into my WinXP. Any suggestions?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I put my laptop to sleep (clamshell close) it goes to sleep and is a happy laptop.
When I open the laptop, I can hear the thing going and waking up. However the screen stays off. Brightness keys do nothing. (however they did nothing in the first place as I'm using the NVIDIA driver). I have to do a hard reset to fix things.
The strange thing about this is Sleeping / Waking up has never been an issue till about today.
I did an upgrade and now after grub starts I get nothing but a blank screen. I should have left the well working alone. Any suggestions on what to do? I have no terminal, nothing any longer.

How can I fix this without leaving my house?

I want to install this drivers but it dones't want to show screen after installing them what can i do solve this problem other then uninstalling them in recovery mode the point is to fix the problem not just to go back to ubuntu without driver.
my card is hd3650 512mb ddr 2 shappire agp card with crt screen
The only thing I remember being updated is xserver, but I know there were other packages updated.
After the splash screen, a text login is shown. If I do nothing, it goes right to a black screen, but first there are weird red pixels randomly strewn about the screen. If I quickly login via the text screen, it then goes to the same black screen. Either way, there are the weird red pixels and a few flashes of the screen before going black.
This happens 100% of the time.
I have tried:
booting with recovery mode and selecting repair packages (no packages are broken, missing, etc.)
booting with recovery mode and selecting startx with failsafe (same black screen)
booting with older kernels (same thing)
When I close my laptop and open it the screen become grey and blotchy with almost an argyle pattern. This has only started happening after I configured the usb ports to work in my VM. My startup screen also says something about a usb problem, and S for skip and M to manually fix it but I have had no problems with my usb. Oh except for my computer won't start
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been using fedora now for a while without major problems - since yesterday. Last night i rebooted my computer and to my surprise, this is what happened:
The Fedora screen takes a little bit longer to load and after that, instead of showing the login screen, i get a black screen with a prompt blinking. I can log in on text mode pressing alt+f2 alright. Tried "startx", but that did nothing for me, i only get a backtrack list and a "fatal server error: Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting. There's also something about checking the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" but when i try to open it i get a Permission denied message.
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).
I have a Acer Aspire D250 the new ones that comes with the win 7 starter kit.
When I try to install or just even try to load from the live CD from Ubuntu 9.10 or Ubuntu 9.10 remix the logo come up and screen goes black. I'm using a 4gig Sanddisk cruzer and I formated to fat32.
Is it an option that I need to change into the bios? do you think I really need to use a external DVD to install it?
I tried to find a solution on google but can't find anything
I have an Acer Aspire One AOA110 that came with Windows XP.
I created a usb flash drive install for Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition and went through the install process (wiped disk clean, not a dual boot with WINXP).
Before install, I was able to run Ubunut from the usb key with no problems.
At the end of the install, it told me I needed to restart, so I clicked the "restart" button and the removed the usb drive. Nothing happened and it never restarted and just completley hung for about 20 minutes. I manually shut down the computer by holding the power for 10 seconds and then rebooted the machine. Now all I get after the "acer bios" screen is a black screen with a blinking cursor. If I press any buttons, the computer beeps at me.
When does the grub-pc splash screen disappear?
On my computer it is displayed until "Loading, please wait" appears i.e. after both initrd.img and the kernel are loaded.
A yes and no answer is enough.

The DVD boots, anaconda starts, displays blue screen with "Loading usb-storage driver", and then hangs at a blue screen of garbage.
I had a perfectly well running CentOS 5 system but with an old crappy monitor. I replaced the monitor by a bigger one, i did a monitor detect to make sure that CentOS would recognize the highest possible resolution. Then changed the display rsolution for the current user.
Now when i login as root just a black screen appears with a white mouse pointer and then nothing. I already deleted all the contents in the home directory /root but no improvement.
When i login as a new user X is starting perfectly.
Anyone have a clue what i need to do or delete to get X working again? I can nuke the whole box and do a reinstall but i'd rather not.
