[ubuntu] Black Screen After Selecting Ubuntu on GRUB

http://ubuntuforums.org – I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 today. After I installed it it worked fine. I even restarted my computer, went to Windows 7, then came back and it still worked. Now when I select Ubuntu on GRUB my monitor gets no output, it's just black. My HDD light seems to do nothing too, or it just blinks at a steady rate. Is there something I can do in GRUB to fix this? (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] Black Screen After Selecting Ubuntu on GRUB

When I turn on my computer (Acer Aspire 3820T), as the title says, I only get a black screen unless I hold SHIFT and go through GRUB and select the topmost option in Advanced options for Ubuntu. If I select Ubuntu in GRUB I get the same black screen. Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi all, I have installed Ubuntu 12.10, dual booting with Windows 7 on my Lenovo x120e.

Everything was working fine until windows installed a series of updates. Now, I get grub when I turn on the computer, but if I select Ubuntu the screen turns black and nothing happens.

If I log in to Ubuntu using recovery mode, I can get to Ubuntu.

I found an answer to this (Acer Aspire has no back light) but it is for Ubuntu version 10. Plus when I connected a monitor to the laptop, it worked fine but the laptop monitor itself won't work.

I've installed Ubuntu 12.1, same situation. The laptop back light doesn't run.

Ubuntu 12.10 boot issues 20 weeks 3 days ago

So I installed Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit in a new partition alongside windows 7 in my laptop with a swap partition and whenever I boot I see the Grub boot screen where I can select windows or Ubuntu.

Now the trouble comes if I select to boot Ubuntu then the computer takes me to a purple screen and I hear the ubuntu drum noise, but there is no login screen and I can't access the terminal.

I have a computer with windows 7, windows xp, and ubuntu. The problem is I can't boot xp. Whenever I try, I get a black screen. I would like to be able to boot from xp, 7, or ubuntu from grub

Here is what I have done: 1) Installed XP 2) Used gparted to shrink xp partition and installed ubuntu 3) Used gparted to shirnk xp partition and installed windows 7

How to Repair Grub 24 weeks 2 days ago

Yesterday I installed ubuntu 12.04.1.

Note : its a dual boot system along windows 7

At first grub was appearing and i was able to start ubuntu but then i had to switch to windows but windows was not booting when i select windows 7 it jumps back to grub window. So i fix the Windows Boot Loader using repair from windows media and wolla windows started to boot but Ubuntu Grub gone.

Given a dual partition of Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7 - both 64 bit operating systems and a working version of GRUB: I need to be reminded of what will happen upon reinstallation of Windows 7 on the Windows partition in terms of GRUB.

Will GRUB be wiped?

I am concerned about this.

Hello,

I have ubuntu 11.10 loaded on an external hdd and it boots fine on my Intel Atom system.

While in the midst of installing a program to Ubuntu, my computer froze. After reboot, I can get nothing but a black screen filled with commands to try after Grub>.
