Lucid installed without any errors that I can see of off the main i386 installation CD, but after booting I get no display. Even in recovery mode. The monitor doesn't go into sleep mode and I can tell that the OS is actually running the background because I can do a Ctrl-Alt-Del and do a proper shutdown.
I'm running an nvidia GT 9500.
Everything is working fine on Karmic.

I had to do this:
boot from the cd, press F6 and then select the Nomodeset option.
then
On first boot after install, press e on getting the GRUB bootloader.
Using arrow keys navigate to and delete quiet and splash and type the word nomodeset in their place
Press Ctrl and X to boot
After I installed nvidia driver (default from pop up) then it has worked without issue.

Hi-
Same issue though I do not get to see grub at all either so I cannot go in and change anything. Does anyone have a fix in this situation? I have been searching and have not had any luck.

Trying pressing the ESC key right after your BIOS bootscreen prints all it's findings
That's what I had to do to get to GRUB
the SHIFT Key did not work on my system.
