Re: Hardcore ubuntu uers help me out from this serious problem.
Have you installed the correct display drivers for your graphics card?
In any case, you can get your display back by activating the generic driver, then from there you can make sure you choose the correct driver.
Here's how:
1. Reboot and start Ubuntu in recovery mode. This will give you a text based system and will stop at a command prompt.
2. run the following command to back up your xorg.conf
Code:
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
3. Edit xorg.conf
Code:
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
4. Look in the display section where Driver = whatever
5. Change whatever to MESA (so that it says Driver = Mesa
6. Save your changes and close the editor
7. Restart the machine
Code:
sudo shutdown now -r
This should give you a GUI but you won't have any hardware acceleration and will be limited to certain resolutions, but from there you can choose install the correct display drivers.
READ THIS Don't run any commands without understanding what they do, unless they are from a reliable source and have been confirmed by other experts. Serious damage can result from following malicious "advice".
