Re: blank screen after upgrade to 8.10
Just as a follow-up to my own post: I tried the nvidia packages 96, 173, 177 and manually installed the newest drivers directly from nvidia (180.22). Nothing did the trick. The only way I could get a...
Could you please share with the community how you solved the problem? I personally would be very grateful. Thank you!
Hello all,
Today, I upgraded my perfectly working desktop from 8.04 to 8.10. I have a Nvidia GeForce 6100. After rebooting and after the boot messages run through, I am presented a blank screen. I...
OK, as stated, I don't know whether this works, but you could try the following: open your xorg.conf, go to line 97 and change the following section...
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default...
You may want to have a look at this page: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_7.10_on_a_ThinkPad_T43 - it's for Ubuntu 7.10 but I guess it won't be very much different for 8.04.
I've...
Don't know if it works, but you may want to try to add the following to the "Screen" section in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"

Thanks Rocket2DMn, I halfway figured it out - you're right, these problems are really difficult to track down and yes, upgrades tend to cause problems too (I was having troubles with Compiz after all...
A follow-up to my own post, I had an idea just after writing it: since compiz was working when started as root and not if started as ordinary user, it must have something do to with my environment...
If the above doesn't help, open a terminal window and enter the following:
compiz --replace
then paste the output here. Also, you may want to run
LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo
in a terminal and...
I can back up this statement, both nvidia and ATI/AMD are actually not ideal since their own drivers are proprietary (i.e. available binary only) but I've never experienced any problems on boxes with...
Thanks for your reply, really appreciate it!
I just did that but it did not help.
Not as far as I can see, except for $LIBGL_DRIVERS which is "/usr/lib/dri"
Thanks a lot for this thread and your effort! I hope I'm not being inpolite by pasting my problem here, but since I upgraded my laptop from Gutsy to Hardy I've been desperately trying to get Compiz...
sorry 'bout the bump - but does anybody have any idea about this?
Thanks for your reply! I know I could do that but I certainly don't want compiz to be running as root! And after using it like that for a couple of hours now, it doesn't "feel" all that good to me -...
So i'm one of the (I guess) many, many fellows who, once again, after upgrading Ubuntu, is left with the joyful task of figuring out how to get Compiz working again while it worked like a charm...
