I have Ubuntu 13.10 and I have installed ROS but now I reboot Linux and the screen is in black. If I presh Ctrl+Alt+F2 I get a terminal , and Ctrol+Alt+F7 back to te black screen instead of the Desktop and graphic mode.

Can it be any of these steps of the installation? How can I fix it?

  • Configure your Ubuntu repositories or sources.list
  • sudo apt-get update
  • rosdep update
  • echo "source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
  • source ~/.bashrc

thanks in advance for your help

Since the first post was deleted here again the whole text:

I also had some problems like that before (insead of the login screen I had a black screen with a cursor).

Are you using fglrx(-updates) as display driver?

No idea, how can I know if I am using it? – user2282211

You would know, because you would have selected it in the options.

As I know from my paths through ubuntu there are many ways to get a black screen. In the last time I had a couple of problems:

  1. Unity Plugin is disabled. See here for source.

    Press Ctrl+Alt+F1
    sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager export DISPLAY=:0 ccsm
    Press Ctrl+Alt+F7
    See if Unity Plugin box is ticked

  2. Other problems with Ubuntu desktop & Unity. See here for source.

    Press Ctrl+Alt+F1
    sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop sudo apt-get install unity sudo reboot

  3. Sometimes it worked for me do uninstall unity and the ubuntu desktop and unity and reinstalling them.
