Installation issues / Re: Installed then black screen DCE Router login?

« on: May 12, 2008, 08:53:01 pm »

I have seen an article similar to the one you posted, and tried what I can, but did not help. I dont here any beeps to tell me when to start the avwizard hot keys. I am using the spdif optical to the onkyo receiver and also have headphones in the analog ports. I know both of these are working correctly on the hardware side because i can boot ""another"" OS and they work fine. But I dont want to settle for this ""other"" OS because its bloated and doesnt do everything I would like:). Im sure you can all agree.

Last night when I got to the lockup screen I could CTRL ALT F3 and kick it out to command prompt. I tried to manually install the nvidia drivers and configure the xorg.conf, but had no luck at doing that. afaik, I was using the drivers off the ubuntu repo, not the proprietary drivers. Driver was called "nvidia".

Thanks

Hello all. New to the forums and trying to get this working. After the installation (tried 64bit and 32bit) will get to end. Tells me to remove cd and reboot. Which goes through fine. After it inits for the first time and installs video drivers, sets up lan. It will get a black screen. If i type something in and press enter I wll get a quick flash of a login screen. The login says

(something samba daemon on top)

dcerouter login:
Ubuntu 7.10 dcerouter ttyl

dcerouter login:
Password:


This is all in a split second on the screen, used a high speed camera to capture a picture of it. Is there something that I am missing or not installing correctly??
