[Bug 444395] Re: 9.10 beta fails to boot into LiveCD (flashing text on beta/straight black on later images) - black screen
I have run into the same issue with the flashing login and unresponsive keyboard on a Dell Dimension 4500. I am now on my third install with a disk burned from an image downloaded on 2010-02-27. I believe it is the nVidia drivers. During both of the first two installs, I elected to use the nVidia/non-free drivers and was not able to log in after the install reboot. The third time, I left the default driver package selected (I can not remember exactly how the package was referred to in the drop down) and have ignored the pop-up icon asking me if I would like to enable the third-party drivers for 3d acceleration and am not having an issue at this point. I have now been able to run all of the updates, but since this is strictly to be a backend server, I am reluctant to load the nVidia drivers. I am simply adding this comment so that hopefully others will at least be able to do an install and get to the point where they can run the updates, and possiibly be able to fully utilize their nVidia cards. -- 9.10 beta fails to boot into LiveCD (flashing text on beta/straight black on later images) - black screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444395 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The problem reappears after a kernel upgrade (Linux 2.6.31-15-generic- pae #50-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 10 16:12:10 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux).

I _was_ having the same sort of problem, i.e. unable to install Ubuntu 9.10 with flashing text during boot-up and no keyboard response when trying either the Live CD or the install. I'm using an Nvidia 6600 and a Gigabyte KT400 with VIA VT8235. I changed the BIOS AGP slot settings from Auto to 8X and this has allowed me to install. N.B.

I have the same issue: I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 via apt. Worked fine. I then added another harddisk and added 8.04 LTS. Worked fine, but I was unable to boot into 9.10 because GRUB got overwritten. Oops. I tried to boot into the 9.10 live CD for intel 32 bit, which I downloaded after release. Flashing screen at half second interval and poor keyboard response, will not start x. Installer will also not launch, same symptom. I then tried the alternate installer cd, 9.10 32 bit intel. Got 9.10 installed on a new partition. Now I have: 9.10 (old upgrade from 9.04): Boots just fine 9.10 (new) will not boot, same flashing screen problem 8.04 LTS.. haven tried it yet. I got a picture of the screen when trying to launch the live CD.. is it any use, or is there some log I could check on the old 9.10 filesystem? I have a nvidia gforce 6600.

downloaded Mythbuntu 9.10 today 2 times. one via bit torrent other regular desktop download. Neither would load and I tried on two different hard drivres and got the same result. The program started to load and gets to the screen where you choose the method of install I chose to install the program to disk but nothing really happened the program let me pick a language but then merely displayed a small mythbuntu logo for a period of time and then eventually the disk player stopped. I checked both disks for errors and neither indicated any errors. One disk had an existing vista on it the other had just been formatted. I am not fluent in ubuntu so I will probably wait a couple months and try then. I have tried mythbuntu in the past but the program was not real user friendly. maybe this version will be workable when I can finally get it to load. -- 9.10 beta fails to boot into LiveCD (flashing text on beta/straight black on later images) - black screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444395 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Me too. This is caused by a mismatch of the video configuration from your old Ubuntu with the new one. Here is a solution. Log in with recovery mode, move /etc/X11/xorg.conf out, so the system starts without taking into account your old settings. It will boot into a generic/open set of drivers.

pauljohn32 - this might be the case if I was upgrading an existing system, but it's happening in LiveCD mode as well as running the installer for a fresh install onto a new partition (for testing). At this point there clash with old driver settings and is no old xorg.conf to remove. Looking at similar bug reports in the forums and in launchpad, it seems to be mostly affecting nVidia users (possibly running amd64). I haven't seen any fix offered that works, My current version that I use is still at 8.04 and I what I normally do is install the newer versions of Ubuntu into a new partition to play with and see if it's worth making the change. 8.10 9.04 didn't really seem to offer me any significant benefits than what 8.04 did, so I've stuck with it. 9.10 with it's faster boot times could have been the trigger to move up, but I can't run it on my system apart from in virtualbox One of the reasons I have stayed with Ubuntu is because it has always worked on my PC. this release is the first one that won't run.

Hi, I also get this happening on 9.10 Final Release (Build 20091028.5?) on Try without making changes... and also Install... i.e. Boot menu shows OK, but when I try to boot to LiveCD or run the installer, I get the white pulsing Ubuntu Logo, but after a while it then drops to text mode, screen flashing, keyboard unresponsive.

note: all previous tests were done using the nvidia card connected via S-VIDEO output to a TV screen. Testing with the 20091009.1 daily-live iso image (amd64), I tried to boot into the livecd environment using the integrated Intel VGA graphics on the motherboard and a standard monitor. After startup, it showed the small white ubuntu logo in the middle of the screen while loading and then successfully booted into the livecd environment. I then tested with the VGA graphics port on the nvidia card connected to a standard monitor. After startup, it had a blank/black screen (no white ubuntu logo) while loading but then successfully booted into the livecd environment. On this test, the graphics output didn't appear until it was showing the brown Ubuntu splash screen with the horizontal loading/status indicator. I tested again with the S-VIDEO output connected to the TV screen and it was as originally reported. After selecting to boot into the LiveCD environment from the initial boot screen the graphics output turned blank/black and didn't show anything. I could then press the power button on the computer case once and it shutdown and ejected the CD like normal (still no graphics output while doing this). -- 9.10 beta fails to boot into LiveCD (flashing text on beta/straight black on later images) - black screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444395 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm also getting this problem. It fails to load on my HTPC (P4, 2GB RAM, Nvidia 6600 AGP). I have tried both the beta and the RC x86 mythbuntu images using VGA and YPbPr connections to the display panel (Samsung 40 LCD TV). The first splash screen displays correctly (small pulsing mythbuntu logo) I have snapped 3 shots of my LCD during the load. First, it could not load the package sources. It then dumps to shell. It crashes after about 1 minute. This was enough time to run 'top' and show that the install python script is running in the background. The third shot is the blinking screen. At this point the console is unusable. gdm/xorg does not initialise.

When the computer boots into normal livecd mode, I can ping it from another mac laptop attached via ethernet which is providing internet sharing to its ethernet port. I can't seem to get any other response from the computer, regardless of what I try typing into the keyboard. There are no problems when booting the livecd in safe graphics mode, so I'm guessing its a problem with the graphics somewhere.

Thomas, when you say you can't get any other response out of the computer - are you hitting certain sequences that you expect would do something (i.e., hitting keyboard short-cuts that should produce some action [maybe execute sudo reboot])?

Marc, yes that's exactly what I'm doing. I'm trying the keyboard shortcuts that should switch to VC1, login to VC1 and then reboot/halt. I've also tried to login to a VC and connect to a local webserver with w3m to get a GET request appearing in the apache logs. While that works from the safe graphics mode (where the graphics are working), it fails on the blank screen. The fact that both of these fail suggests that it might not be actually doing anything or even getting as far as the login prompt on startup.

@Yuri Nikiforov, can you please open a separate bug for this, since your bug is not related to live cd? -- 9.10 beta fails to boot into LiveCD (flashing text on beta/straight black on later images) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444395 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Tomas Cassidy, thanks for the output of the lspci -vvv. Can you also try doing this: Connect a usb memory stick, boot into normal graphics mode, and try redirecting the output of ps -aef to some file on the usb stick, by typing the command blindly ? If we can have the ouput of ps -aef, then that will be very helpful ! -- 9.10 beta fails to boot into LiveCD (flashing text on beta/straight black on later images) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444395 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've tried doing that but got nowhere with it. When I tried I couldn't work out if the USB stick had been mounted properly and where it was exactly mounted. I'll try a few more things today or tomorrow to try to get the output of ps.

I was unable to get the output of anything except for lspci -vvv from the safe graphics mode. I thought that the output of dmesg/ps would be useless if it came from the safe graphics mode environment as there is no problem running in that mode. ** Attachment added: output of lspci -vvv from safe graphics mode http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33875415/lspci-vvv -- 9.10 beta fails to boot into LiveCD (flashing text on beta/straight black on later images) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444395 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've got simular problem, but not wil live CD. I have ubuntu 9.10 beta that I can't boot. After usual update and reboot everything is normal until X is going to be started. Instead of gdm-login screen I have console with flashing text about boot process with normal messages and login prompt. It's impossible to login because system responds very strangely on keyboard, I think 9 of 10 keypresses are missed, I can't even type my login correctly. -- 9.10 beta fails to boot into LiveCD (flashing text on beta/straight black on later images) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444395 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Surbhi, I can't get the output of those commands as the screen is blank on the VT1 as well. I only know it goes there because I can type the commands from memory and get the end result of the computer rebooting/halting. I'll boot into the safe graphics mode and get the output of lspci -vvv. I will also try to take a picture or video of the output when i get the chance. I might also be able to mount a usb stick and copy the output from commands onto there, but i can't guarantee because I can't verify the commands that are typed in. -- 9.10 beta fails to boot into LiveCD (flashing text on beta/straight black on later images) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444395 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
