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