ardchoille here again. I wanted to post some new information in case it is helpful.
I just did a complete fresh install of Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) on this machine. Here is what I found: First reboot after the new install I found that all tty's (1-7) are functioning correctly. I installed a lot of apps, made lots of tweaks and reconfigured xorg to get the resolution I wanted. After rebooting, I noticed that all tty's are still working properly. The only thing different this time is I did not install nvidia drivers. The normal way I installed nvidia drivers in Feisty was: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx sudo nvidia-glx-config enable sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart The first time I installed nvidia drivers in Gutsy (which started this problem), I used the Restricted Manager - which I feared but did it anyway. The thing I disliked about that manager is that it didn't give me a choice between the nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new drivers - I dislike using "new" things because they're usually buggy. I'm wondering if I install nvidia-glx the old way if that will avoid this non-existent tty problem. I don't think it's the kernel because I have all tty's working now on the same machine and same kernel that had the problem earlier.. I think this has to do with the nvidia drivers. -- tty[1-6] are active but display nothing in Gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/129910 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
