Ubuntu: No Screens Found
I didn’t jump on the latest Ubuntu upgrade (Feisty Fawn) when it first came out. I didn’t jump for the same reason I don’t byte on ANY new software as soon as it comes out: Bugs. I want at least the first round of bugs… the serious ones… the ones that will lock up my system or otherwise prevent me from getting work done… FIXED before I risk my productivity with an upgrade.
I figured a month was long enough.
HAhaHahAhAHAhAHahaHA!
The Problem
Using the upgrade option on my desktop, I installed the latest and greatest… only to be greeted with a black screen when I rebooted. Well, the screen wasn’t completely black, there were lines of voodoo hieroglyphics written in ancient hexidecimal, and buried somewhere near the bottom of it all was this: “NO SCREENS FOUND”
What? You mean the screen that my system could “find” perfectly damn well 20 minutes ago? THAT screen?
Yeah, that screen. The new and improved Ubuntu either couldn’t find my monitor, or was so FUBAR that the only thing it could think of to say was that there was no monitor attached.
I hate it when that happens.
