I figured out a temporary workaround for the Live CD blank screen on Kubuntu:
[b]This post could be related to an Ubuntu bug filed at[/b]: [url]https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/89853[/url] [br].[/br] ---------------------------- [br].[/br] [br].[/br] If, like me, you have the need to use the Live CD instead of an alternate installation and you can't because you have a Dell Inspiron 6400 with an ATI X1400... I found a workaround: Note: I have only confirmed this with the Kubuntu 7.04 Live CD, not Ubuntu... if someone would test it with Ubuntu and post results, that'd be great... 1. Boot the Live CD as normal 2. When the screen goes blank and the CD spins down, press CTRL+ALT+F6 3. Then type: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx sudo depmod -a sudo aticonfig --initialize sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv sudo startx 4. X should restart and load the KDM desktop -- [regression] 7.2 broke vesa: "No matching modes found" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89853 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
