Public bug reported:
Clean install of 11.04 yielded blank screen on reboot.
The only message after the boot loader was a text across the top that
said "No video mode selected"... (this was before the login screen ...)
I was able to fix the problem by booting up in safe mode (at the boot
loader, by selecting a different kernel) and installing the proprietary
driver for my NVIDIA card (GE force 7100)
I had also tried an upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04... and that ended with a
blank desktop screen (unity doesn't automatically start).
