no signal monitor after installing ubuntu 10.10

[vlad1975]

hey guys need help.


I just installed ubuntu 10.10 clean install. all seems to went well no errors and it gave me a message that says that it require a restart so i restart it the it did the usual bootup then got message on my monitor that no signal. i changed to fresh cables. but when i try running ubuntu directly from usb it works well.

Any suggestion?

oh 1 more thing.. i even tried to do the repair and still dont work.

have you tried running from the live CD ? Did the monitor work then ?

[vlad1975]

Did you get this fixed?

I have the same problem. By holding SHIFT during boot to bring up the Grub menu, editing and adding 'nomodeset' to the grub line I can get the system to boot.

Maverick is very very unstable with nvidia drivers installed (system completely freezes playing a video in Totem - or even just playing an mp3 in Totem with visualisation on).

I've tried both the 260 and 253 drivers.

My GPU is a GeForce 210.
