NVidia - ubuntu 10.10 upgrade fail - no display
Asked by
Campbell Boyd
I was running 10.04 (fully updated). I used the update manager to upgrade to 10.10. The process appeared to complete OK but when I rebooted I get left at a shell prompt.
I can logon at the shell prompt but cannot get a GUI running. If I try to run update-manager, I get "could not open display"
I downloaded (on another PC) and burnt the ISO and tried to install 10.10 to a different partition but it crashed. The crash message asked me to report this with a couple of log files. Unfortunately these log files don't exist.
I'm running on a dell 4600 with 2 100gb hard drives. The video card is a NVidia geforced4 MX440 with agp8x.
