[Ilugc] Ubuntu 10.04 Black Screen on Bootup
Hi I had started using Ubuntu as my main OS and of late I have seen while booting 10.04 it just shows a black screen I have to press the power button once again and then power button once again to get it up an running, I browsed the net and landed on the link which is shown below. They have asked me to replace quite and splash with nomodeset, which I did and my ubuntu does boot up, however while booting up now it shows lots of text scrolling past the screen while it is booting. Is this normal ? Since the OS shows black screen almost once in a day I need to wait for a couple of more days to know for sure if it is completely fixed. #Added by BALA on 2-Jun-2012 as per http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/ GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset" #GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" I ran update-grup after editing the above line in /etc/default/grub -- Regards, Balasubramaniam Natarajan www.etutorshop.com/moodle/ ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Only in the last 5 years, they have added the splash image. Personally, I prefer the text to make sure all services have started up okay. If you are up for some experimentation, you can try to set the value to, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset quiet" and see what happens. Without a splash image, I don't know what you will see on boot up. -- 0 ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

However currently the text which I see in ubuntu are not aligned that is why it is confusing. Is it possible to get a neat text scrolling with Ubuntu ? I remember pressing "ALT + D" to see that information in Fedora while it was booting.
