Sure, I'll give you the steps from both installed and CD-based. CD: Step 1: Turn on computer Step 2: Insert Ubuntu Live CD or DVD Step 3: Wait for menu Step 4: Press enter to use Live CD or DVD based Ubuntu Step 5: Observe as your screen goes blank, flickers or begins turning on and off depending on hardware.
Installed: Step 1: Turn on computer Step 2: Select your Ubuntu installation Step 3: Observe as your screen goes blank, flickers or begins turning on and off depending on hardware. The issue I'm having is that the issue that was fixed in 10.10 with an update has been regressed in 11.04 so that incorrect commands are being sent to the display hardware and having different effects other than originally intended based upon what display hardware is being used. In particular, I'm using a Samsung Television connected through HDMI and it turns on and off repeatedly when nomodeset is not used whereas, while it did this with the original unmodified 10.10 installation as well, it was later fixed with an update. I don't know why the patch was regressed, but it needs to be added once again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754284 Title: Modeset code fixed with update in 10.10 regressed in 11.04 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
