Ehm, booting with only "nomodeset" results in the same crash as I mentioned in Comment 6 (when booting with "vga=normal nomodeset), system crashes during loading and the diagnostics leds are flickering as if the are saying "Please don't do that again" :) So I can't get to console nor desktop to install the nvidia-glx drivers...
Another thing I have found was that if I let it boot with default options, it seems to get to the desktop (don't know for sure since I can't read the screen, see screenshots ;) ). When my CD isn't active any more I can get the system to reboot if I press the key-combination (for Xubuntu): "Alt+F4; Right-arrow; Enter", which results in my screen fading out and ejection of my CD, which if followed by an Enter-key- stroke, the system will reboot. Also if I do the key combo: "Alt+F4; 2x Right-arrow; Enter" I get the expected behavior of a shutdown. And a final thing I found was that if I let it boot with default options till there is no activity for my CD-drive, and I press any of the Ctrl+Alt+F[1-9] key-combinations, it has no effect. So I can't drop down to the console with Ctrl+Alt+F1 to have a look at any logs... So if there is anything I can help with, just provide the instructions or the relevant questions. More than happy to help out here :) -- nouveau out of sync LVDS (basically card not supported) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539878 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
