I can confirm this issue on two machines running Jaunty Jackalope: 1) amd64 laptop: MSI gx620 [NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT 512 MB] (lspci -vvnn attached), and 2) i386 desktop: GIGABYTE 8600GTS 512MB silent pipe
I first noticed the issue on Hardy or Intrepid i386 on the desktop. Removing the NVIDIA driver fixes the problem. I have not had success removing quiet/splash from menu.lst. When I press: CTRL-ALT-F1 the screen goes blank. When I press: Alt-F7 my gnome desktop returns. I'm just waiting for a situation where this causes real grief (has not occurred yet thankfully!). ** Attachment added: "lspci -vvnn (MSI gx620)" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26559707/lspci_vvnn.txt -- nvidia-glx-new causes unusable tty's https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220951 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
