Had to revive an old desk top because my oldest dumped Sprite on our laptop. Ouch!

Anyway, I installed 12.04 on this Vista machine (e-machines, AMD Athlon). The install went fine, when I rebooted and selected Ubuntu it appears the graphics card drops out as the monitor shows a message "out of range" if I'm not mistaken. Maybe the Ubuntu install doesn't recognize the NVidia graphics card? How can I fix this?

Thanks,

Brian

  • are you sure you are having the latest drivers for your vedio card? Just run sudo lspci -v | less and check if your vedio card is recognised – ashutosh May 06 '12 at 00:02
  • I can't even get that far. I just get the monitor's status and Ubuntu never boots. In fact after a minute or so the monitor goes into power save mode while the pc stays on. – owensdad74 May 06 '12 at 00:14
