On Ubuntu 10.04, How to enter interactive mode at boot time?
Can I choose which driver to be enabled? or which Service to be enabled?



System blocked at boot time, and closed screen display -- no signal to the monitor.



How to troubleshoot?

    Adding a comment can "bump" a question back onto the front page, if that's what you mean. I suggest asking over on askbuntu.com, the Stack Exchange site specific to Ubuntu.

You can try the "recovery mode" from the grub menu (hold down the left shift key during boot up to get to the grub menu).

  • I entered recovery mode, but it closed my screen, I can't see any words, I can't shoot the trouble. When I heard a "po" when the system starting, then the screen was closed (suspended mode, not only blacked). Can I get which driver or service got my screen closed from syslog?

If the screen goes blank before you can actually enter the Grub menu, it might be motherboard/BIOS issue. Have you tried with another monitor?
