Installation issues / Re: Dark Screen After Installation

Download the latest nVidia drivers from here:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-9755.html

Reboot your box.  I assume you are using Grub for the bootloader.  Instead of launching Ubuntu normally, select the option that will cause you to boot to a command prompt (maintainence option I believe).

cd to the location of where you downloaded the driver.  It you downloaded it from firefox it probably went into your Desktop folder.

Change to that folder like this:

cd ~yourUserName/Desktop

run the nvidia installer like this
sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg1.run

This will bring up a bunch of dialog boxes, and you will want to reboot.  If all goes well you should see a nice green NVIDIA logo appear after you reboot.


thanks!  this worked for me.  i was banging my head against a wall over this problem.
