Tust tried Ubuntu 10-04 Official release and the problem is still there. Only way to boot the LiveCD to the desktop for me is to remove the 'quiet splash --' options and add 'nomodeset'.
Then I can install Ubuntu but on boot into the installed system still shows a black screen, except of course when I add 'nomodeset' to the command line in Grub. Then I installed the new official driver from the Nvidia website (version 195.36.24 Certified released 28-04-2010) and installed that driver. Now when I boot normally, the screen goes black, but when I boot with 'nomodeset' the Nvidia driver loads and works pretty good (no unstable stuff in the few ours I used it). Off topic: these new drivers support the NVS 3100m card. (It does not mention this on the website, but it does in the docs). Will this driver appear in the official repositories? -- lucid beta 2 live shows black screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557744 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
