Re: Graphics Resolution- Upgrade /Blank Screen after reboot
Hi!, ladasky,
It is a very long time since I tried it myself when I was still very much a newbie, but the following is an extract from Post #2 of this thread:
[Quote]
To mount an installed system from a LiveCD:
(This example is to install drivers, but similarly could be used to mount a system and reinstall grub or kernel image)
1. Boot a Live-CD,
2. Find your "Installed" partition, e.g. /dev/sda5 (where you've installed the OS ... the "/" partition)
Code:
sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
3. If you have a dedicated boot partition: sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/boot
Code:
sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev
sudo mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys
sudo mount -t proc /proc /mnt/proc
# by bogan: I think the 1st 'proc' should be 'bind'
4. "changeroot" to /mnt
Code:
sudo chroot /mnt /bin/bash
5. Now you're "on" the installed system, see the chroot man page for details
Do what you need to do from there, like install drivers, install a kernel, install grub, etc. Once you are through, Press <cntrl><x> or just enter the command "exit". That gets you out of the chroot. Then unmount your mounts... If you don't... oh well. [End Quote]
From there, as yours is a nvidia card, go to the instructions in Post #280 [ about page #71] or use
Code:
nvidia-installer -f
if you feel brave.
If it were not nvidia then Post #2 has an index including other options.
I should perhaps add that I have felt,from reading your first Post, that what you describe is a bit different from most reports i have read; otherwise I would have recommended the above much sooner. I tend to ask for as much info as is practical, to avoid suggesting what is just a guess. EDIT: Added to which, it is a Raid system, about which I know nothing, except that it adds even more complexities with Linux.
Best of luck. Chao!, bogan.

Reason: Raid note added

They did things differently in those days, apparently!!
