Nvidia Driver Install Black Screen
- Instead of using a driver downloaded from Nvidia, you might try uninstalling it and using Windows Update to get a driver. We had a similar experience with Win7 and recent Nvidia graphics drivers on an HP 8100 SFF system with a GF 310 graphics card: black screen instead of login prompt; worked in safe mode.
- I installed Nvidia driver on fresh install of ubuntu Now after reboot all i get is a blank screen. With nothing on it. Cant even get to the terminal. Prior to install i stopped lightdm service.

After CUDA 10.1 install on desktop (Intel i7 4790) with GTX 1070 on Ubuntu 18.04 with all updates installed, I have a black screen after log in. Using the Driver from CUDA 10.0 (410.48) the system is working fine. I tried the Driver 418.43 too and had the same black screen problem.
I updated from Windows 7 a few day ago and Windows 10 worked fine. On Tuesday night I updated the driver for the NVIDIA graphics card.
At one point the screen when black with only a mouse cursor. This happened before with Windows 7 but it always came back. After waiting an hour nothing changed. I couldn't do anything.
Rebooted and got the same screen after the Windows start up screen. I could not login as far as I can see. I can't start it in safe mode since that requires the screen.
Since I was using a dual monitor, the laptop monitor and an LCD monitor connected to the hdmi port. I tried booting without the second monitor. It this case I get a single pixel blue line on the right and bottom of the screen. Occasionally, when I move the mouse cursor to the right of the screen I get a blue ribbon just like in Windows 8, but with nothing on it.
My Dell laptop come with facial recognition, which has not been configured. This may affect my login because I need to select with the mouse that I want to enter a password.
Nvidia Driver Install Black Screen Windows 10
EDIT:
Nvidia Driver Install Black Screen Laptop
The upgrade to Windows 10 is not the issue. The issue is with the video card driver from NVIDIA.
I have found instructions that doing Shift-Restart from the login screen will restart in safe mode. What I need, and can't find anywhere, is a keyboard shortcut that will allow me to restart my laptop in safe mode from the login screen.
Alternatively, to tell the Dell Facial recognition software to let me enter the password could also work, since I will to do the restart once the desktop is active.
Thanks
My computer is a Dell XPS 17
i7 processor
8GB of RAM
NVIDIA gpu
Windows 10 updated from Windows 7
I do not have any boot media.
I've installed the current nvidia restricted driver and rebooted my machine and now I get a black or blank screen.
How can I fix this?

Remove all Nvidia-related packages
Log in to a terminal: Ctrl+Alt+F1 (terminal is visible with a blank screen)
sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-*
Start from scratch
sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau xserver-xorg-video-nv
Reinstall everything
sudo apt-get install nvidia-commonsudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveausudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core
Reconfigure the X server
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

- Remove any drivers that may be causing the issue,
open the terminal and type ( open it from the dash, using the ubuntu icon on the left corner)
or
(Depending on which one you have installed) or deactivate them from the restricted driver settings.
reboot.
then on a terminal type this:
reboot.
In my case it was a problem with the monitor giving my Nvidia GPU a bad EDID
To debug your error, you can add this line to the screen section in the the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
Now check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file.
If you find an error like this:
Nvidia Driver Install Black Screen Windows 10
Then you can resolve it by adding this line to the device section
Maybe Ubuntu IT'S working but using another card output. For me, my nVidia GeForce 7300 has 2 output, a VGA and a DVI. It seems like the default output when you install the drivers is to DVI but I don't have a DVI monitor so I managed to get to Recovery Mode (available in GRUB when you boot) and type this:
Now Reboot.
This command directs the same graphics to both outputs. From there on, you can keep experimenting with this nVidia utility until you get what you want. For more information type:
Hope that helps.
Press Alt+Ctrl+F1 to get to tty1 (terminal), then run this:
That will remove any nvidia driver packages. If that still doesn't work, try this also:
That will remove a corrupted xorg configuration file if it exists. You will need to reboot after finishing these commands. (Ctrl+Alt+del)
PS. If you have an nvidia optimus card, do not install the x-swat or any other nvidia drivers. The best working drivers for nvidia optimus cards come from the bumblebee project.
This happened to me when running an AMD cpu: Learned it was an IOMMU/AMD -v Bug = Incompatible with Nvidia. Disabling Virtualization bios settings fixed this.
Does that thread on Ubuntu Forums help you?
In short, it seems that the linux-header packages for some of the kernels (notably the PAE kernels) are not properly installed, and the nvidia driver compilation fails silently when installing the nvidia packages.
Regarding the topic title: What is the current restricted nvidia driver version used in Ubuntu natty?
You can find anything about releases, versions, bugs, requested features on Launchpad. To understand what it is about you can take their tour.
The question about the latest version of the nVidia driver can be found on “nvidia-current” binary package in Ubuntu Natty i386. So as of 2011-04-20 the latest version is 270.41.06-0ubuntu1. But that is not necessarily the recommended one. The latest one for me always seems buggy (like 'tearing' etc).
RinzwindRinzwindInstead of using nvidia-current you should really try to use an older nvidia driver e.g. the 173.xx. This solved the problem for me. Just start jockey-gtk and chose the 173.xx driver. Than reboot your system.
Wolf F.Wolf F.Try in /etc/default/grub:
Replace '1680x1050x32 with your native resolution (to get it run vbeinfo in the grub console when booting).
Then in /etc/grub.d/00_header:
Update grub:
sudo update-grub
Might work..
con-f-useNvidia Driver Black Screen During Install
con-f-useTry acpi=off. That solved my booting into blank screen issue for Ubuntu 11.10.
I got a blank screen as well, but this was on a laptop with and nVidia optimus card 4200m. Optimus does not seem to be supported well on Ubuntu. I had to disable optimus from the bios and then reinstall the nividia driver. More here if you want to read http://developerslog.org/?p=69
I was getting a black screen when booting. I have a NVIDIA 6200 graphics card. Renaming xorg.config and rebooting worked for me. The xorg.config file created by nvidia-xconfig: version 304.51 (buildmeister@swio-display-x86-rhel47-06.nvidia.com) was causing the problem.
The biggest trouble I had was getting a Macbook Pro to install the Nvidia drivers!!!
The solution is to change the Master Boot Partition to REMOVE EFI and go with Legacy MBP.
This is discussed on a few webpages but is not so easy to follow.
Using this idea, I booted from a Live CD and then using Gparted removed the EFI boot partition, changed it from EFI to FAT32 and then using Boot-Repair rebuilt it as a legacy boot using the main Partition with 13.04 64 bit installed
---WARNING BACK UP YOUR DATA FIRST. YOU COULD SCREW UP EVERYTHING ON YOUR HDD ---
Insert Live CD - Boot up as try UbuntuRun Gparted - Change EFI boot partition from EFI to FAT32.
open a new Terminal, then type:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update
Press Enter.
Then type:
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && (boot-repair &)
In boot repair select ADVANCED OPTIONS
Uncheck Use the Standard EFI File under main optionsUncheck Separate /boot/efi partition under GRUB LOCATION
follow prompts on how to use the legacy Boot loader that Boot Repair will give you.
Now install and load the NVidia drivers as many post
I used the method 2 on this page http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-ringtail-nvidia.html
I was working on this for probably 18 hours and tried EVERY option available. I mean every possibly way to install these friggin drivers, and this was the only solution that works for the Macbook Pro 7.1 Running 13.04 with Nvidia_current (nvidia_304)
I've tried everything here and the solution for me was to switch to lightdm, works perfectly now!
Just install clear ubuntu (no updates, no software) connect with internet, download your driver and install and reboot! Worked for me! Thanks for my neighbour!!! (that was his idea)
Corel draw free trial version download. It is so much easier to use than say Illustrator, too many wqys to list.Ok I'll name one thing. Selecting control nodes in illustrator can be sofrustrating, especially on small objects.
