12.04 black screen
« on: March 15, 2014, 01:57:37 pm »
On my MD I often get a black screen. I can still press F7 to show the menu but the content that was showing is not visible anymore. Any suggestions?

anyone else experiencing this? So the screensaver disappears and I get a black screen. Then I press F7 and the menu shows again properly. When I select a menu item the next item disappears immediately again and so I am looking at a black screen again.

My MD is running on a asus at3iont http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/ASUS_AT3IONT

Hi pigdog,

thx for your reply. Is there any way to find that on the install? I don't have the iso anymore.

Hi,

In webadmin it used to be under installation but I don't see it there anymore...

...maybe I was thinking of somewhere else, but I don't think so.

Anyway you can always go into webadmin > advanced > software > Software versions and with "Core" selected as which computer? scroll down to the LMCE packages and you should see the build date.

It will be something like X.X.X.XX.14032328853 meaning - I believe - 2014 Mar. 23 28853 build.

Cheers.

Most are 2.0.0.46.14030128788 on my core while my md has a lot of 2.0.0.46.13032527365 also. you suggest to sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade the MD first?

Hi,

Unfortunately the 28788 release is no longer in the snapshots.

Have you been doing updates/upgrades on your core?

jes. I did apt-get upgrade a few times. Also I use the latests kernel on the core (not on the MDs)

Hi,

I've been testing the latest snapshots and there has been some networking issues.

Since you aren't having any Core issues I guess it would be OK to update/upgrade the MD.

If anything major occurred you could always delete the MD and then recreate the MD from the Core software.

Hi again,

If it is only the screensaver that times out and you lose the Flickr screen what about turning the screensaver off?

Its also the menu. When I click an item on the menu (say power) then the power screen also disappears. I am upgrading as we speak and will see if it makes a difference.

thx thus far.

I am confused. I sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade both the core as the MD but they still have different versions.

Hi,

Maybe this will help, or at least point you in the right direction.

Are you having the same screen issue?

Cheers.
