Ubuntu 13.04 Nvidia GeForce 8400 310 Driver Black Screen

Asked by Tempo

I recently installed Ubuntu 13.04 on a computer I built myself. The hardware was all new but chosen by price about a year ago (specs below). I use it to do work, as a LAMP server and to stream HD Video websites for fun. I often stream HD video using FlowPlayer (a Flash Player) in Firefox. The Nvidia GeForce 8400GS video card output is connected to a 42 inch HDTV (HDMI) and an ACER 19 inch LCD Monitor (DVI out of Video Card through converter to VGA Monitor input). I am using the ACER Monitor as the primary monitor for working.

The problem is that the video streaming often ends in a black screen on the Acer monitor. If there is an audio stream, the audio continues after the screen goes black. So the computer does not crash, the video output stops. The monitor indicates that "there is no video input". I have looked on the HDTV (HDMI output) to see if there is video there and sometimes there is and sometimes it too is black.

Crash logs and online research have led me to suspect that there is an Nvidia driver issue. I have tried to narrow it down over the past week but it doesn't seem to be consistently reproducible. Maybe you can offer some guidance for how best to determine the cause.

I am using the NVIDIA binary xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library from nvidia-310 (proprietary,tested).

Thank you for taking the time to read this and help. I have done a lot of things with linux over the years but I am no expert. If you can guide me to the info that you think would be helpful to troubleshoot this problem, I can get it for you. Thanks again for your time...

Apply the following commands in a terminal one by one and then reboot your PC.

    sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*
    sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
    sudo apt-get purge $(dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/ { print $2 }')
    sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if tells you that is not exist, no problem. Continue)
    sudo apt-get install nvidia-current ubuntu-desktop
    sudo nvidia-xconfig

Ubuntu Internal Error Report. udevd crashed with SIGSEGV
Sending error report...

Testing HD Streaming of the webcams in Firefox with Flowplayer. So far so good. The black screen usually came within minutes of me getting several tabs open and applications going. I will report back in an hour or two.

Everything was going great and then there was a black screen failure after about 5 minutes of testing.

Now using driver 304 as it defaulted to that after executing the commands that Nik offered.

I ran a system update.

I was running Firefox with streaming HD using Flow Player in a tab.
Launchpad in a tab
streaming audio in a tab

WeeWx Weather Station Software in a terminal
Motion video capture in a terminal

Skype was up and running.

The black screen crashed the audio with it this time (streaming audio stopped).

On Reboot I got an Internal Error pop up

Had the black screen video failures all day. Different things running at different times. Could not correlate the failure to a particular program or setting.

Decided to check Display Settings. The Display Setting was not in Mirrored Mode. After running the commands that NikTh offered in the previous post, I should have checked the Display Settings . They must have reset at that time. Mirrored mode has been more stable on this system so I decided to try it.

System Settings > Displays
Check the box to select "Mirror Displays"
Apply

Now that the Display Setting is set to Mirrored Mode the video has been streaming full screen HD video for about an hour without fail.

Computer ran all night without black screen video fail.

This morning increased workload by continuing to use FlowPlayer in Firefox and streaming HD full screen and adding in music streaming, graphics heavy browsing along with the local WeeWx weather station and motion video capture. So far so good.

I did notice that the FlowPlayer Streaming HD stalled when I added in the streaming audio. I simply paused it and then hit "play" and it restarted and continued on fine.

So thanks to NikTh and the Mirrored Mode, things are working fine for now.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks NikTh, that solved my question.
