2009-01-16 08:56:09 Bryce Harrington description Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-new Problem: Getting the white screen of death (white screen with random black lines appearing) when using the nvidia-glx-new driver Using: Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 (development branch) on a Dell XPS m1530 with a Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT When clean-installing Hardy Heron using the live CD and afterwards installing the Restricted Driver I get a white screen with random black lines. I can hear the login screen coming up and I can even log in by typing my username and password. I went into the terminal using ctrl + alt + F1 and changed xorg.conf back to using the "nv" drivers. When checking the logs I found no errors related to xserver or the nvidia drivers. I tried installing the drivers with Envy and I also tried a manual installation. The same drivers were working fine on Gutsy Gibbon. This problem seems to be restricted only to the Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT. (as far as I know) A thread on UbuntuForums.org about the same problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=712479 Regards, Wouter Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-new Problem: Getting the white screen of death (white screen with random black lines appearing) when using the nvidia-glx-new driver Using: Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 (development branch) on a Dell XPS m1530 with a Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT When clean-installing Hardy Heron using the live CD and afterwards installing the Restricted Driver I get a white screen with random black lines.
