I just installed ubuntu 12.04 (command line version) on an old machine (athlon 1,2 GHz, 1GB RAM, [SiS] 65x/M650/740 graphics). When I boot the screen turns black after the BIOS messages. Even grub doesn't appear.
The system reboots if I press Ctrl+Alt+Del
. Ctrl+Alt+F2
... doesn't bring my to any tty
.
However I can access the machine via ssh
(I installed it in expert mode and selected open-ssh-server during installation).
In spite of the black screen I tried to type in blind my username and password. Then I did touch test
and I was able to verify via ssh
that this created a file named test
.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Edit:
I insalled xinit
and started blind startx
but there was no X session, only a black screen. However I can verify via ssh that X was running.
