No Video After Installation
by chris319 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BKJV)
Yesterday I installed Debian, brand new from the latest iso. I wanted to try a program called "OpenOB". All went well during installation. When installation was finished, it rebooted and there was apparently no video output. I get a "Check Video Connection" message, which is what my monitor puts up when there is no video being sent to it (HDMI). There is video during boot-up, however, but the desktop is not rendering.
Next I fired up my copy of Mint and was informed that there was a new version of the Linux kernel available, so I upgraded. After the upgrade I was seeing that same "Check Video Connection" message - no video! The video was working just fine in Mint before updating the kernel. The audio was not working, though, as it would not play audio at all.
So what gives? Is the latest kernel incompatible with my graphics card? I can't do much to fix it if I can't see what I'm doing.
The graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. There is nothing exotic or out of the ordinary about my computer's hardware. Video was working OK before updating Mint.
