Public bug reported: when starting ubuntu, plymouth briefly shows, then i get a black screen with a blinking cursor.
strange thing is, i do have a mouse pointer, and lightdm did load. i can type my username and password blind, and judging by HD activity it does load the desktop. still no visual, just a mouse pointer. i go to the top right, click, and use the arrow keys to go up once, press enter, and then space. Ubuntu shuts down normally. a second boot goes through fine. i thought it might be a grub setting, but can't find anything that does or doesn't compromize xorg ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: xorg 1:7.7+1ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-19.30-generic 3.5.7 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-19-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu6 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz Date: Sat Dec 15 18:15:27 2012 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: quantal DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: bbswitch, 0.4.2, 3.5.0-19-generic, x86_64: installed nvidia-current, 304.64, 3.5.0-19-generic, x86_64: installed virtualbox, 4.1.18, 3.5.0-19-generic, x86_64: installed ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, if not too technical GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:0166] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: CLEVO/KAPOK Computer Device [1558:1550] NVIDIA Corporation GK107 [GeForce GT 650M] [10de:0fd1] (rev ff) (prog-if ff) InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-12-07 (7 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.5) MachineType: CLEVO CO.
