Exact same problem with a GeForce3 Ti 500. Cannot get past boot splash with nouveau driver. Works with nvidia-96 installed via jockey-text.
@Jacek, when you enter recovery mode and get the list of options do not choose to continue with normal boot. I think that is why you get the blinking cursor (same for me). Instead select root shell or root shell + networking. -- Ubuntu 10.4 freezes on x-server start with Geforce 3 TI200 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/544088 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
