Flaming Members, even if they banned is not allowed. -WJ Last night, on a particularly anti-Windows whim, I decide to download the Kubuntu iso. Two hours later, it's done, and so I put the iso onto a spare CD-R. Pop it in, shut down, restart. It goes to the default Kubuntu setup. I run a diskcheck, no errors reported. I proceed through the setup, tell the install to repartition my primary drive, etc, etc. No problems. It installs successfully and reports no errors. I pop the CD out, shut down, reboot. Hey, look, GRUB. Go into Kubuntu 6.10. Aaaaaaaanad black screen. No errors reported. I left it to sit for an hour. It stayed on that screen. |

I don't know anything about Kubuntu, but I searched around on a few tech forums and found others with black screen problems. Some of them just started a fresh install and it worked fine. Thats all I found through a brief scan on the subject. |

I've found the problem and it's unfortunately basically unfixable, but I found a workaround. So thanks for the help. |

I'm curious about what the problem was. Have an explanation, or a link to satisfy me? |

And what's with the -WJ thing? Anyway, I have a solution. Wipe. If you have your files backed up, wipe the drive. |

I can just get Feisty Fawn (which I have) and install it in the partition I segregated for Gutsy. |
