That's ironic. I just reinstalled windows on a partition and the same thing happened to me.

Does any one know what i can do ?

What are your system specs?

Did you check Hardware Drivers for any video driver?

You are using 9.10 Karmic Koala?

Maybe your computer has some hardware that doesn't play well with Ubuntu. Let's see what you got there:
Can you press alt + F2 and type "gnome-terminal"
Then copy and paste the following command in the terminal (use left mouse in terminal and choose paste).

Code:

sudo lshw

Now select all the text in the terminal and paste it here.

Ok, I got this out of the stuff you posted:
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 8200
Audio: nVidia MCP72XE/MCP72P/MCP78U/MCP78S

Could be so kind and edit your previous post to wrap the text in code tags so it's easier to read?

If you copy and paste the following command in a terminal does it give any output?

Code:

lsmod | grep nvidia

Does the following give you any output?

Code:

lsmod | grep nouv

As for your audio problems; could you post the output of the following command?

Code:

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec

**bradsha** · December 22nd, 2010

lsmod | grep nvidialsmod | grep nouv gives me no input just blank

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec

**bradsha** · December 22nd, 2010

I have no idea how to put the codes in sorry but

dylannator@dylannator-Aspire-X3300:~$ lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia 10221046 38

dylannator@dylannator-Aspire-X3300:~$ lsmod | grep nouv
dylannator@dylannator-Aspire-X3300:~$

dylannator@dylannator-Aspire-X3300:~$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
Codec: Realtek ALC888
Codec: Nvidia MCP77/78 HDMI
