Re: I have just installed Kubuntu, and i am given no login screen

Hmmm. {scratching his head ...}

Well a search on "via unichrome" turns this up on top of the list:

But, upon giving it 10 seconds of thought, I'd say the xserver-xorg-video-openchrome driver looks better.

That command requires a "sudo" prefix to execute.

Yeah, he's a funny one alright .... NOT! >


I'm wondering whether a "boot option" or "cheatcode" might help this situation, after reading the thread that arochester gave us. It appears that there is a limit to the screen resolution that the chip will support, due to memory limits. But since you don't see a boot menu, where you could press "e" and edit it on the fly, the only way for you to experiment with the boot options is to manually edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and add them and reboot -- not very efficient, I'm afraid. I'd start with "vga=791" and if that doesn't work try some of the other resolutions. Here's a non-*buntu link that shows them:

The code goes one space following the kernel path that is to be booted. I'm crossing my fingers ....
