Update: Tested the same hardware (Mainboard: Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition, Video Card: Nvidia 8800 GTS 640MB) with 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) *beta* from alternate 64bit CD.
Same problem with the splash screen as reported on 2007-09-19, same workaround. Installed all pending updates. Enabled the restricted nvidia driver and for the first time I see Ubuntu fully supporting the Nvidia 8800 GTS without fiddling drivers! Well done guys! Note for the Gutsy newbie: Further desktop effects can be controlled with System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects. None: no Compiz window manager, Normal: activate Compiz window manager, Extra: get features like wiggly windows. So, if you should encounter problems with Compiz, select "None", which should provide a solid desktop, while the system still provides full 3D support for e.g. games. -- Nvidia 8800 video card - black screen - system does not complete startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140908 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
