Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.24-12-rt

I have a HP Pavilion dv2300 laptop, and I've just updated it to 8.04 beta. When I use the real time kernel and nvidia driver (nvidia-glx-new), the computer hangs after the ubuntu splash screen is finished. The backlight stays on, and there appears to be some harddisk activities, however the system does not respond to ctrl-alt-del, ctrl-alt-backspace, ctrl-alt-f1 etc. I had to press and hold the power button to force the machine to stop.

If I use the nv driver, it works but there's no hardware acceleration.

The kernel version is 2.6.24-12.22-rt and I'm using the amd64 version of ubuntu.

Hi mosestroung,

Can you try booting with the "quiet" and "splash" options removed. Just curious if any interesting error messages are appearing before the computer hangs. If so, can you take a digital photo of your screen with the messages and attach it to this bug report? Thanks.

I've removed the quiet and splash options, it seems to load normally with each services returning "OK" except for vboxdrv which Failed.

But after all these are loaded, the screen blanks out (with blacklight on) and then it hangs.

Confirmed here with a fresh daily of Ubuntu Studio, after updating restricted modules and rt kernel, I get the same behaviour. Also using nvidia-glx-new.

I've just updated to 2.6.24-15, and still having the same behaviour.

I can confirm that the nVidia module is not being loaded with nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new.

I've just got 2.6.24-15 (v2.6.24-15.27), now it doesn't just go to blank screen, but the X11 recovery screen is shown to allow me to downgrade to another video driver.

@mosestruong :

Please execute in a shell this command:

sudo depmod -a

So reboot and test once again.

Thanks!
