Can't install and livedCD won't boot all the way...

Help and support for Ultimate Edition 2.5


Can't install and livedCD won't boot all the way...

Postby brjoon1021 » Thu Dec 17, 2009 4:19 pm

Here is what the LiveCD says when it finishes the boot process, even in safe graphics mode. Incidentally, I am trying to install 2.5 because my previous latest release (whatever the stupid name is) started giving me the very same error message and was unable to "startx" after upgrading MPlayer. The Mplayer upgrade included some Nvidia driver packages ( I have a 6600GT) and the problem seemed to center around libdvpau-195. Anyway, same error message. This 2.5 liveCD and that upgraded installation broke x in the same way.

help?

Here are the last few lines of the boot screen:

*starting kernel log daemon...
*starting MySQL database server mysqld
*Running DKMS auto installation service for kernel 2.6.31-15-generic
* nvidia (185.18.36)
... done.
* starting Commun Unix Printing System: cupsd
* PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions

Ubuntu 9.10 ubuntu tty1

ubuntu login: _ (it booted into the graphical screen before...)

- after I login and "startx" I get:

Many lines about the Xorg server, but these seem to be just information, then
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available

Fatal Server error:
no screens found

- I am told that I can check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information. then...

ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log
giving up.
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to conect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3) Server Error.

- I can't get any further.
I think that the MPlayer update brought with it a new Nvidia driver that either isn't working or can't be found by the system..

can you help
