Ubuntu 9.10 Upgrade to start black screen solution

After installing 9.10, I replaced Ubuntu with Kubuntu. Then start installing all kinds of software you like. And did a system upgrade, the kernel to upgrade to 2.6.31-15.

One day, start 9.10, after skipping the Kubuntu splash screen, the computer is black screen, no matter what you knock on the keyboard is not responding. If the power button is pressed, the system will shut down. There is no reason to analyze Ubuntu's logs under CentOS. Try for a long time, the product does not come out of the taste, in the thinking is not to be able to remove the splash screen, so you can see Ubuntu in the boot to that step failed, and then to locate the problem.

Workaround:

I'm not sure if NV's 185 driver has a problem (nvidia-glx-185), installing or removing it is no help to the situation. I searched and found that a lot of people were having problems like me, but there was no workaround for me to work on my computer. But I tried to manually install the latest NV drive-actually solved. Here's my workaround:

1. When you go to the Grub boot menu to select the screen, press E on the first article to enter the edit state, add a single word in the ' linux/boot/vmlinuz ... quiet splash ' line, and then press Ctrl+x to start. In fact, recovery mode can do similar things, but 9.10 of recovery mode seems unable to start the network, so I have to enter the single mode.

2. Select the ' netroot ' option after startup to enter the root command line with the network.

3. Download the latest NV drive (2010-11-3):

# wget Http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/190.42/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.42-pkg1.run

[You can visit the latest drive address of NV first.] ]

4. Install the compile tools required to compile the NV drive:

# Apt-get Update

# Apt-get Install Build-essential

5. Install NV Drive:

# chmod U+x Nvidia-linux-x86-190.42-pkg1.run

#./nvidia-linux-x86-190.42-pkg1.run

6. Reboot

If you use LiveCD to install 9.10, you should choose "Text mode" to install. If you are still experiencing a black screen problem after the successful installation, try the above method.
