*** UPDATE: FIXED *** ardchoille here. I fixed it. I have all tty's working properly now in Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) with nVidia GeForce 6200 card (and nvidia-glx installed) on an AMD Sempron 2800+.
The problem started after using the Restricted Manager to install nvidia drivers - it automatically installed nvidia-glx-new without giving me any options. This somehow caused tty's 1-6 to stop working. This time I installed the nvidia drivers manually with: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx && sudo nvidia-glx-config enable && sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg I did not alter /etc/initramfs-tools/modules or /etc/modprobe.d /blacklist-framebuffer in any way, nor did I run update-initramfs, and I didn't modprobe anything. After rebooting, I have all tty's working properly as they were in Feisty. So, the problem is caused either by the nvidia-glx-new drivers or the Restricted Manager GUI/app. I probably wouldn't have figured this out had I not been doing this on the command line for over a year. Score: command line 1, gui 0 -- 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
