Title: Stuck on black screen after first boot
Post by: ukulele_ninja on December 05, 2008, 07:08:12 am

So I decided to go ahead and install mce on my main pc because I was excited to play around with it.

It installed correctly, however after it reboot and loaded the first time, it showed the splash screen then went to a black screen where it has sat for roughly 20 minutes.

Is it safe to restart the computer? Or should I wait it out? Or is there a different issue at hand?

Best is to wait it out, and while you wait you can search this forum, as this might have happened to somebody else too...

Well I searched around but didn't see any issues that were very similar to mine.

I did try to restart, but it did the same thing.

Loads Grub

Loads Kubuntu

Black screen and sits.

Ill do it again and let it go through its paces. Maybe its just being tempermental

Go to the top of the forums list, and go to "installation" forum.  There is a sticky post with the resolution to your problem there.

I'm thinking perhaps this should be a sticky post here too?  I came here first also, to "users".  I didn't even notice there was another category until I had the problem also.

Good call that fixed it! Thank you so much. I was searching the wrong key words
