Blank screen after install of 4.0 nvidia to blame?
Posted: Fri Jul 04, 2014 11:52 am
Hello, i'm sure this is a repeat question from somewhere, but i have been sifting through forums and such for 2 days, have found numerous answers, nothing i have tried so far works, now trying to get information on how to fix this, can you at least point me in the right direction? i've installed ubuntu 14.04 stock with no problems, but i REALLY want ultimate.
Here's my problem,
1.install from live usb, looks great during live, awsome GUI, awsome program packages, looks like just the kind of program i want as i start my bachlors in cyber security. Install successfuly, reboot:
Get the graphics heavy loading screen with the rotating red circle, then it loads to a blank screen with flashing cursor, can open Terminal with ALT+F1Tried installing the x-swat version of nvidia-current still nothing after reboot, at one point i found a way to get past noveu drivers (i know i spelt that wrong, just dont know how to spell it) because it bugs out with nvidia drivers but i cant for the life of me find it again. my biggest problem is i'm searching on a crappy tablet while trying to fix it at the same time
although with some of the tricks i've tried i get a fail message for clamAV i'm almost sure the problem is my geforce 610 dedicated graphics, although i had the same problem physically removing this card and plugging into the Radeon 4200 onboard, although im not sure i shouldn't have done something beyond physically removing it.
This might be overkill, but here is my lshw output in case it helps:
