Comment 69 for bug 660596

hi people,

I tested this solution, I proposed and: works successfull!! Black screen prevented!! Bug can be closed!!

Do this steps to prevent this bug:

first after the initial installation, open up a terminal and type in this:

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com AF1CDFA9

Wait until key is imported, then type in this:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

In your sources.list type in these both lines:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu maverick main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu maverick main

Then save these changes and close your sources.list

Then back in the Terminal, type in this:

sudo apt-get update (let it run through completely)

and then: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (let it also run through completely).

Then reboot your machine and go to controlcenter. There go to "additional drivers" and install the new Version of the nvidia-driver and reboot your machine.

This will successfully reload your machine and prevent that balck screen.

Bug is solved and can be closed.
