You have been subscribed to a public bug: Just tested Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha 2 Live Desktop 64-Bit on a MacBook Pro rev. 3. First, it seemed to work ok apart from nearly burning down the machine (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262550). The display seemed brighter than usually, which I thought was fine.
The moment when I clicked "Live User" in order to shut down, the backlight went out. Ten seconds before, I had deactivated Bluetooth by clicking this option in GNOME's Bluetooth manager. Don't know if this has anything to do with the display problem. Doesn't seem so to me. How do I know the display backlight has been permanently destroyed or disabled? Thanks to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/127790, which has guaranteed me approx. 30 seconds of a white-blue-grey screen whenever I switched on the machine, whereas now the display is black after switching on the machine. When I boot Ubuntu, I can only see a bit thanks to the lamp on the ceiling of my office. My last hope is that Ubuntu has just somehow damaged the EFI or something and that that can be repaired. I always had to boot up Ubuntu using a live Desktop CD (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/339979). Don't know if this has anything to do with the display problem. Doesn't seem so to me. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-nv (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Karmic: CRITICAL ERROR: Ubuntu kills MacBook Pro display! https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/420512 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nv in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
