Hi Bryce, I tried to run "apport-collect 569372", but as there does not appear to be an update to this bug, I assume the attempt failed. As this is a blank screen issue, I had no visual feedback to see why it failed.
Here's what I tried to do: -booted the final release (not RC) normally -waited for all disk activity to end (and then some -- I assume X had started and everything was loaded) -pressed Alt+F2 to bring up the "Run Application" dialog -entered "apport-collect 569372" Result: no activity on CD or Internet router As this appeared to fail, I tried switching to console 5 (Ctrl+Alt+F5) and entering the command again (twice). This time I had both CD and Internet activity (on the second attempt), although from what I can now see on this page that apparently still failed. Perhaps the console requires a login, before I could enter the command? Or maybe apport- collect requires user interaction? Just in case, I tried pressing Enter several times, hoping that default answers would do the trick. In the meantime, I have worked around the issue and installed Lucid, by temporarily disabling my Radeon HD5850 and using the integrated HD4200 of my 785G chip-set and then installing fglrx. After that I re-enabled my HD5850, disabled my HD4200 and ran "aticonfig --initial". I will attach the result of lspci -vvnn on this system, in the hope that it makes no difference that it is now running fglrx on a proper installation. Unfortunately, I can't find an xorg log which doesn't mention fglrx on the system, so I assume the relevant logs were overwritten, as I had to reboot a couple of times since fixing the driver (sorry, this is my main system and I needed it to be usable). In order to help fix this issue, I would be happy to help out with the xorg log, if someone has a clever idea for retrieving it off the live system, while effectively being blind. Or if necessary, I should be able to try installing another copy in a new partition on the same machine (then do the graphics switch; boot the system which won't work and retrieve the log with the system which will work). ** Attachment added: ""lspci -vvnn" on HD5850 based system, but running fglrx on proper Lucid install" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/47732748/lsp.result -- 10.4 RC Live CD - Blank screen with Radeon 5870 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569372 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
