Installation issues / New 0710 install, flickering screen with "ok" message, does not boot
« on: August 15, 2009, 09:38:10 am »
Hi
Have installed 0710 from the DVD this week (m5dsums are ok) and every time i boot the machine i get past the Kubuntu flash screen with the progress bar and then the screen goes black, comes on again and i can see the word "ok" on the far right hand side and then the screen goes black again. This continues forever. If i ctrl-alt-del then i can see everything shutdown and the computer restarts.
I am using a trusty old CRT monitor, but borrowed a new LCD with VGA & DVI inputs from work. Have used the new monitor with both VGA & DVI inputs and get the same problem.
Looked through the forums & wiki this morning and noticed people talking about a blank screen only, if this the same problem? Do i need to upgrade my video drivers? The mobo is using a Nvidia Geforce 8200 chipset.
I booted in to recovery mode to see if there were any issues from the messages it puts up as it loads and noticed a few failures, not sure if these are proper failures or show up because i'm not starting linuxMCE. Any comments?
"* Mounting local filesystems..." i get the "fail" message.
"Loading AppArmor profiles Error: #include <tunables/proc> not found at line 16 in tunables/global."
"Profile /etc.apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd failed to load : failed"
Thanks
My setup is
Gigabyte GA-M85M-US2h V1.1
AMD Athlon II X2 240 (Sythe mini Ninja cooler)
4 GB Ram
Hauppauge HVR4000 Tv card
WD 80GB SATA drive (i'm using this to get my Hybrid up and running and then invest in a couple of TB's)
NX1101 PCI Lan card
