Ubuntu

black and white bar lines accross both monitors on start up

Asked by heather michel

When i boot up my computer (before the purple ubuntu screen loads) I get black and white bar lines across both monitors. This has been a problem since I upgraded from karmic to lucid. I run it on a dell 410 XPS machine with two monitors looking at the same desktop. One monitor is a dell flat screen and the other is an acer flat screen monitor. There is an odd high pitched sound when it is showing the bars as well.. What is up? I have done all available updates at this time.

If you boot the Lucid live CD does it happen?

I'd log a bug too.

This started with 10.04 and continued through 10.11. Still happening.

Can you help with this problem?
