I attempted to upgrade an older system from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 LTS. Everything went fine until I rebooted.
The screen showed that grub was working properly and the boot up screen with the words Ubuntu 10.04 appeared normally. Then the screen went black. Not even a cursor. I booted up in base graphics mode and first it said that no monitor was present and then it said that it was but there was no usable configuration. I am guessing that the upgrade set a higher screen resolution than my system can handle. I am also guessing that I could configure it in command mode and then it would work. The bad news is that I don't know command well enough to do it. It was handled screen resolution 1024X768 with refresh rate of 51 no problem with Ubuntu 9.04. Can somebody walk me through configuring my video. It's Ubuntu so root is disabled. I have to do it as super user. -- Mark Robert Mark Wallace Tita P Wallace 200 Fitch Street Unit 26-135 Welland, Ontario L3C 4V9 (905) 963-0926 _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Jul 6 - Arduino-palooza Aug 3 - Scala - 100th MHVLUG meeting Sep 7 - DIY 3D Printing and the Makerbot Thing-o-Matic
