Lcd Black Screen Between Boot Loader And Kernel Splash Screens

I install fgrlx driver on vivid os the driver look like is istalled correct on system and built the necessary kernel modules because the dpkg log not report any errors, i configured the driver by simple commands like:

sudo aticonfig --initial

sudo aticonfig --screen-layout=on

i reboot the machine , but i face an strange issue the boot splash screen is hangup,i cant enter my lvm password to boot the system, i was have a chance to boot into rescue mode when boot to rescue mode the display not read by the system i try to export display by

export DISPLAY=:0

I try to configure /etc/X11/xorg.conf there is not good resaults the boot splash still hang up

I edited the grub , i uncomment "quiet splash" modified by "nomodeset"

i can boot without boot splash but im faced other issue i cant switch to virtual tty

i dont know is this a bug in the driver or in the kernel

any suggest

There are no buttons to add splash screens in Plasma 5 and cannot extract down loaded kde splash screens into usr/share/ksplash.

I downloaded Mint 15 - MATE and made an iso image DVD disk. Then rebooted with DVD in drive. The followinh happened
Splash screen with Linux Mint on
Then Automatic boot in 9, 8, 7 etc secs
Then Linus Mint 15 in Courier with 4 dots underneath
After 2/3 mins screen turned black, covered in white U letters with Welcome to Linux in background
Then wide red and black horizontal bands
Then a more graphic screen with 2 Linux Mint logos on green and white bands, top one a bit fuzzy. Cursor has a red box around it. Icons for Computer, Mint Home and Install Linux mint 'ghosted' with background showing through
Firefox loads, again ghosted, but cannot access internet even though wifi light lit on computer.

Computer is Fujitsu Seimens Amilo L7320 1.7 GHz and 960 RAM

What is going wrong?

Want to try Linux as computer freezes in Windows XP after about 20 mins.

Help appreciated.

Hello all,

I was working through LFS 7.7 Chp 2.4 and mounted a wrong partition to /mnt/lfs.
I did the following commands while trying to mount the correct LFS partitions:
mount -v -t ext4 /dev/sda8 /mnt/lfs
mount -v -t ext4 /dev/sda9 /mnt/lfs/home
but I was supposed to mount sda11 and sda 12.

Now the system won't boot past the splash screen. I tried booting into a live usb and typed in the following commands
mount -v -t ext4 /dev/sda8 /
mount -v -t ext4 /dev/sda9 /home
but the system still won't boot past the splash screen.
Both gparted and the partition manager for the installer don't show a mount point.

How do I create a mount point from USB or is there another problem/solution?

Thanks

Hi,
I am using 2 screens (my current laptop screen and extended to my TV using HDMI), I am only using one x-server (ctl-alt-F7) on ZorinOS 9.1

on the terminal, DISPLAY using: env|grep DISPLAY variable always shows :0.0 for both screens

I thought it would show :0.0 for my laptop display and :0.1 for my TV, its showed :0.0 on TV as well, could some one tell me why.....

I have windows 7 laptop, Dell. I downloaded the newest edition of Ubuntu (Twice)to see if it would install and dual boot beside Windows 7. Unsucessful on several attempts. Once I reboot the computer it will give ma a choice of 7 or Ubuntu. I decide on Ubuntu it starts to boot into Ubuntu than a black screen with all types of Kernel error codes that i'm unfamilur with. one is---(1.292618) kernel panic-not syncing: no working init found.

Try passing init option to Kernel (see Linux Documentation/init.txt for guidance..

I am not sure what all this means any help would be appreactiated...

I'm quite new to Linux, and after a lot of trials ended up with Mint Mate (dual boot with Win7). I've been using it for a few weeks now with no real problems.
However, I've just transferred my system to a new pc case. The only alteration I made was to change the sata connector cable from sata 1 to sata 0. When I tried to boot to Mint I got screen after screen of errors (all unintelligible to me). I tried the recovery boot and got even more screens of errors. I did once get a desktop showing but it wouldn't actually do anything. So I'm now unable to open Mint – it just says there is an error on the disk drive.
Thank goodness for Win7! That opened first time, no problems – and continues to open fine (and I can access and copy files from there).
Obviously after such a catastrophic experience with Mint I'm going to always stick with dual boot. Unfortunately I'm now very reluctant to trust Linux with anything important – though I do want to go on using it for internet access. Can someone recommend a really stable (but easy to use) Mate distro please? Thank you.

Booting to CentOS Linux problem. I have an HP desktop PC with an AMD CPU and win8.1 installed on it with UEFI as the boot process. The CentOS7 DVD indicates that I have installed the CentOS successfully. When I boot the PC it does take me to a menu offering CentOS and Win8. Win 8 will boot correctly. However, when I try to boot to CentOS I get a screen that says “Kernel not found”. The boot loading process continues until it ultimately brings up a terminal login screen. When I try to login with my password and usr name it tells me that they are wrong. I suspect the Kernel not found is the real problem but I can't get into the CentOS program to see if GRUB or any of the other programs are missing or defective. So far I have not disabled the UEFI since I didn't think I needed to. Any suggestions?

hello there,
OK here is the problem;
Whenever I try to start my laptop the grub menu loads as usually, it starts booting but upon completion, there is this blinking cursor and screen and then nothing. It started when I logged out of one of my account and logged into Root account and again logged out of the root account. That was the time when this thing started.
I dont know what happened. I researched, found lots of threads but with no help..
There is no any graphics card in the laptop. (so couldnt be a driver issue i think)
Edited the grub ( quite splash nomodeset, etc etc,, but didnt work )
I really dont know what to do at this stage,
P.S i am a noob though.

Hi, So im quite new to linux and im not surprised as iv tried before to check it out and failed then (old computers problem) but i decided to have another go on a new comp recently.

UEFI mobo
Nvidia geforce 770 as output.

I need a duel boot of win7 & mint. Win7 is installed.

UEFI has caused me so many problems its just beyond me ! (i had never heard of it before i brought this comp)

booting Mint from a cd/dvd works fine.

booting from a USB fails with a blank or locked up screen at the first mint logo. (many tests with dif methods of creating live USB)

Installing mint with grub over the top of win boot loader fails , i get no options to choose between win & linux it boots straight to linux and then fails (same error as above)

I have a small SSD with win7 , there is not a lot of space on it so i want to install mint 17.1KDE on a different HDD.

After a month or so of reading testing reading testing etc i ended up getting mint installed on partitions i created on secondary HDD but i had to keep the windows boot loader in place and use easyBCD.

However now i get the choice of win7 or linux and windows still actually works (breakthrough ^^) BUT linux just crashes at boot (at the first logo) and then the monitor looses all signal?


I am soo frustrated. Mint will run of a CD but i can not get it to work in any other way , please help

Thx.
