Public bug reported:
I installed Ubuntu Lucid Lynx Enterprise Cloud 64-bit, but it is
completely unusable, due to the fact that upon booting it turns off the
monitor and never turns it back on. This happens also in recovery mode
(after a torrent of kernel messages).
My hardware is as follows:
Motherboard: MSI P6N SLI V2
CPU: Intel Core2 Q6850 3GHz (quad core)
RAM: 4 GB
Graphics: NVidia Geforce 8800 GTX (768 MB video RAM)
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 245B (24" wide screen LCD, 1920x1200, attached to
DVI connector)
This is a workstation class machine which I'm using to test Ubuntu
Enterprise Cloud on.
I can't provide any of the information requested below, since I can't
actually boot into the system. The GRUB menu appears, but if I choose
the regular boot option I see the cursor blinking for a few seconds and
then the monitor is turned off, and if I choose recovery mode I see a
whole bunch of kernel messages flash by and then the monitor is turned
off.
The screen doesn't just go black, it is turned off completely and never
comes back on. The hard disk goes on rattling for a while, so it's
possible the system is actually continuing to boot, but there's no way
for me to tell.
I don't have another monitor to test with, but this monitor works fine
with Ubuntu Karmic, and with Windows. In Lucid desktop version the
monitor also turns off while booting, but it turns on again when X
starts.
If someone tells me how I will gladly provide additional information.
Perhaps there is a way to get it to boot, and then to somehow access the
previous boot attempt's logs?
