I tried installing Ubuntu Feisty Beta (Xubuntu edition), but I just get a black screen on the graphical installer. I then downloaded the alternate install CD which worked fine. After GRUB is displayed I get nothing; everthing is black.
Computer is working fine, as I installed SSH from the recovery console, rebooted, and managed to log in.
I've tried the following steps:
syslog/dmesg doesn't have much of interest (though I don't know what I should look for)
All cables etc have been tested. I also connected a second monitor to the other dvi port in case it defaulted to that one.
I tried installing nvidia-glx, but it shouldn't matter for console, and it didn't
I also tried swapping from "nv" to "vesa", no go (again, shouldn't matter for console)
Hardware:
Intel Core 2 Quad 3.2 ghz
GeForce 8800
EVGA nForce 680i mainboard
Soundblaster X-Fi
2x Western Digital Raptor 150 gbyte on nForce ata controller |
