[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1207378] Re: Screen intermittently goes black
This problem is most definitely caused by faulty hardware. It's either caused by the motherboard, or more likely, the video card. My M6500 has both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 13.10 on it. With the FX2800 card, black screens on boot-up/wake-from-suspend were somewhat frequent, but eventually levelled out after a few reboots, on both Ubuntu and Windows 7. I swapped the FX2800 card with a used FX3800 card and it's *worse*. However, I'm able to use a setting in Xorg to tell the nvidia settings driver to *always* throttle back the power mizer to a lower level, and it works fine in Ubuntu. Windows 7 doesn't have a good way of permenantly setting this, and it goes to the black of death waaay more than it did on the old card. In any case, it's definitely a hardware problem of some kind, and there is a workaround for it, but it's still crap. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-settings in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1207378 Title: Screen intermittently goes black To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-settings/+bug/1207378/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1207378] Re: Screen intermittently goes black
I have a similar problem on my Dell Precision M6500. Runnign 13.04, with binary nvidia driver 331.20. It mostly seems to happen after I've turned the computer on and logged in, OR after waking from suspend. Computer will work for some undetermined length of time (a few seconds to a couple of minutes) and then the screen will go black. The computer seems to still be running, because I can see hdd activity. And when the screen goes blank, even the backlight shuts off. The computer will not repond to REISUB, and the only solution is to use the power button to power it off and back on. Sometimes, after this, it'll freeze one or two more times before becoming usable. It's done this since 12.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-settings in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1207378 Title: Screen intermittently goes black To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-settings/+bug/1207378/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1063969] Re: No Plymouth Splash on Latitude E6420
Do we know if nvidia is looking to rectify this problem on their end? I know its a minor thing, the boot screen, (and I agree, system stability always wins) but I think it's one of those small bits of polish that need to be there if possible. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1063969 Title: No Plymouth Splash on Latitude E6420 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/1063969/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
