Title:
8086:2a42 [eMachines E525] 11.04 --DARK SCREEN--Need a lamp to see
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Hi. I 've just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 and I had a really hard time doing so.
I have downloaded and burned the ISO, I restarted in order to install ubuntu
and my computer booted from the disk drive, no problem so far.After I chose my
language the purple screen with the option "Install Ubuntu" appeared and I
highlighted the option and pressed "Enter". THEN, I got a black, empty screen
while I was able to listen to my disk drive reading the disk.Everything was OK
except for my screen.I thought there was a problem with the ISO or the disk
itself. But, I 've tried different CDs and DVDs and I also downloaded the ISO
several times. Unfortunately, I had always the same problem: disk drive working
(making sound), screen-->BLACK-EMPTY. I was about to give up hope when I
decided to turn on my desk lamp because it was getting dark. I was working on
my last attempt and after I, once again, pressed "Enter" on the "Install
Ubuntu" option I got the same dark screen as always but this time, because of
the lamp, I saw that Ubuntu was actually being installed but the screen did not
have any light. I managed to install it properly using my lamp to see what's
going on on my screen but it's obvious that I can't possibly work that way. SO,
how do I make my screen light come back so I can enjoy my new OS???
Note1: My screen is working perfectly with windows so, it cannot be a
hardware problem.
Note2:These are the exact same words I used to describe my problem at the
ubuntu forums.
I 've been asked to report this bug to this page by a user who was kind
enough to reply to my thread.
