Kubuntu doesnt boot
Displays - "Not Optimal Display mode use 1280x1024"

Did not have this problem earlier, Please Help !

I am using a Nvidia Graphics card (already in the same resolution as above.)
In case this is a known problem please send pointers to the solution

Re: Kubuntu doesnt boot - Display mode not optimal

exactly when does this happen and what did you do to make it happen?

The Kubuntu Boot Screen (Logo + horizontal bar) appear, the software starts loading, it goes upto(somewhere near) the display manager and then it stops - the message displayed is - Not Optimal Mode, Recommended Mode 1280x1024, 60 Hz.

The only way to get out of this is to do a restart.

Have a look at this - it might well help you! http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3091572.0

Alternatively you can forego the dubious experience of usplash and have the boot messages appear on screen as they happen. In this case remove the words "quiet" and "splash" from your Grub kernel line (first during boot and once you are up in /boot/grub/menu.lst) and it will boot as normal.

Removed "quiet" and "splash" from /boot/grub/menu.lst - it has the same behaviour

Edited /etc/usplash.conf to have configuration 1024x768 (instead of earlier 1200x1024) and ran update-initramfs -u ---- but it still has the same behaviour

Am I missing something?

No, you are not missing anything - my approach was the wrong one

Let me ponder...
