Shaun N. Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 (edited) For anyone who is getting flashing colours while installing 8.04 and it wont load to anything past this. I had this problem the last few days and it is fully installed but the default video drivers (nvidia in my case) are not installed very well. I did the following from a terminal as i couldn't get it to load; Create a link to the ?Nvidia-Settings? Panel in your application menu: sudo nano /usr/share/applications/NVIDIA-Settings.desktop NOTE: do not worry if the file is empty Insert the following lines into the new file: [Desktop Entry] Name=NVIDIA Settings Comment=NVIDIA X Server Settings Exec=nvidia-settings Icon= StartupNotify=true Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Application;System; Save the edited file. sudo reboot Job d:De :D you should now be able to boot into your desktop at 800x600 Edited May 1, 2008 by shaun2312 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
