Encryptme flashing login screen7/27/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Hypothesis: specific driver I installed is the wrong one for my system. Results: blinking screen, but instead of 'Ubuntu login' over a blank screen, 'Ubuntu login' flashes over 'Checking battery.' and a few other diagnostics. Hypothesis: NVidia driver is the wrong one for my system.Īttempted solution: install a specific driver manually. Problem: still 800圆00, now requires failsafe graphics to access. Results: back to low-res but working GUI. Hypothesis: booting into failsafe graphics mode will let me configure my system.Īttempted solution: booted into recovery mode with 'failsafeX'. I do, however, now have Ubuntu on a separate partition, as it should be. Hope like heck this fixes the graphics too. (Not really a) Hypothesis: I realize I did a Wubi install when what I really want is a true dual-boot.Īttempted solution: uninstall Wubi, make a Live CD, install. Somewhat reminiscent of this thread but I'm not sure which of the myriad solutions offered I should try, especially since the thread seems mostly for 9.10. Booting with 'nomodeset' moves this message to the bottom of the screen but otherwise no change. Ubuntu login: _A cursor appears, but will only accept keys pressed in that fraction of a second when the message appears. Results/New Problem: after splash screen, boot freezes with blank screen and the following message flashing/blinking for a fraction of a second every five seconds or so: Hypothesis: either disabling mode setting or the current low-graphics state prevents better resolutions.Īttempted solution: install NVidia restricted drivers to avoid needing 'nomodeset' reboot. Problem: resolution won't go above 800圆00 on my 1366x768 screen. Results: boots successfully into an apparently low-graphics mode. Hypothesis: automatic mode setting for the nouveau drivers isn't working.Īttempted solution: boot with 'nomodeset'. Problem: from a Wubi install, screen is blank (completely black, as if off) right after leaving GRUB. ![]() Here are the problems I've had, the solutions I've tried, and my results. The laptop: Toshiba A505-S6040, NVidia GeForce GT 330M with 1GB of GDDR3, Intel Core i7 (quad-core, 64-bit). I've come across tons of similar issues on other threads, and none of the solutions have quite worked, so I signed up for the forum to start with a clean slate and see if you could help me with my specific set of issues. Now I'm trying to install 10.04 on my laptop and am having problems with the graphics drivers. I upgraded to 10.04 recently on the desktop with only minor issues. I've been using Ubuntu on my desktop for a year or two now and have been quite happy with it. ![]()
