Solid-colored screen instead of login screen at boot of 11.04 or 11.10 Live CD
How can I avoid getting this freeze?
In preparation of a future upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10, I tested a boot of a Live CD I just build this week. The CD does not boot. I get the solid colored screen instead and everything hang.
I finally managed to have it booted but for that, I had to open my deskptop and retrieved my Gigabyte NVIDIA GTX 580 board. In effect, the 11.10 Live CD boot when my graphic adapter is the Intel Integrated Graphic Controller. The minute I put back the NVIDIA board, the Live CD stop being bootable.
This prevents me from going to 11.10 since, a Live CD is part of my Ubuntu recovery kit. I never upgrade if a Live CD does not work with my hardware.
Just for the sake of completeness, I tried my 11.04 LiveCD, it does not work either!
This might come from the fact that I installed my 11.04 when my NVIDIA board was a Gigabyte GTX 460. Recently, I change the board for a GTX 580. Could it be that, a GTX 580 related incompatibilities of 11.xx?
While at it, I also tried my old version 9 LiveCD with my GTX 580 installed, this old guy booted up like a charm.
Very annoying, I'm really intent on upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 or the future LTS but I want to do it with my GTX 580 board.
Is there a way to edit the grub config on boot of a LiveCD so that I add the nouveau.blacklist=1 option in default/grub and then update-grub?
