Ubuntu 9.10 Display Problem

[Mahesh Mohan M.U]

Hi,

I installed Ubuntu 9.10 in my PC. But, after booting it is only
showing some coloured lines or flickered screen. After some googling,
I got some solutions.( http://superuser.com/questions/63759/no-gui-after-upgrade-to-ubuntu-9-10-boots-to-command-line
). I booted to recovery mode and executed "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-
xorg". But, it doesn't returned any result,ie; simply returning to
shell. Then, i tried to start xserver by "startx". But, it shows me
only the flickered lines.

PC Config:-

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Processor
2 GB RAM
ASUS M2N68-AM Processor with Nvidia Graphics

Someone help me to fix this. I'm struggling for more than 2 weeks!

Finally I fixed the problem. I downloaded the Nvidia driver from here- http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_185.18.31_old.html & installed it by "sh NVIDIA*" in recovery mode.

@ Mahesh

I think you should blog it, so that others could fix it too

After being upgraded to 9.1 ubuntu after logged in occupies nearly 100% of the CPU without any other external process as evident from the System Monitor. As such the computer becomes too slow. Why this? Any solutions?

Can I do a reinstall for 9.1 and if so how?

Thanks in advance for both solutions.

Hi,

I've had this very same problem. Please try to run the
gnome-system-monitor immediately after boot
from the terminal or use a commandline application like " top " to
find the process which is hogging
the CPU.
In my case it was the application launcher gnome-do which was set as a
startup program creating
trouble. So I just removed it from the startup list and that solved my
problem. Its probable that your
problem is similar :)

> Can I do a reinstall for 9.1 and if so how?

Yes ofcourse you can do a reinstall,but I wonder why you would need to
do that if you can fix the
problem right away. Reinstallation is never a real solution unless you
are on [...guess..]
For reinstallation just use the ubuntu installation disk and install
onto the same partitions that
you used for the current installation and check the box for
formattiing the partition before a
reinstall.
