Oracle Linux 6 - stuck on Welcome Setup Screen, black screen on CTRL+ALT+F*

Oracle Linux 6 DVD x64.
Installed fine. I selected gnome for UI + all dev packages as I will be doing some dev work on the box.
After install it boots okay and the Welcome setup screen shows up. It allows me to setup connection to ULN, create a user, enable kdump etc. These functions work fine, but right after I finish setting it all up (i.e. the last setting I see is the kdump enable/disable screen), the box goes into limbo state after pressing [Finish] button.
The screen turns black and that's it.
Also when I tried to switch from the Welcome setup screen to a terminal mode, i.e. by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 (tried ...+F2 also) the box gets stuck too. There is no way to go back to the X session, i.e. CTRL+ALT+F6 (F7, F8). It is just stuck on the black screen.
Here's some specs:
Motherboard: ASUS P8H67-M Pro (with B3 revision of Sandy Bridge)
CPU: Intel I5-2500 (VPRO) (BX80623I52500)
Memory: Kingston HyperX 8GB (compatible with m/b + run memtest86 for hours without error)
Video: using built in Intel HD (could this be the issue?)
After re-boot I'm back to Welcome setup screen.
Notes:
1. Boots fine if 'singleuser' is appended to the kernel boot line in GRUB, but that's not the point. I would like to run UI.
2. I have tried removing 'rhgb' and 'quiet' kernel boot parameters to no avail. I have actually stripped the kernel boot line in GRUB down to 'ro' and that would not help either.
3. Ubuntu 10.10 x64 runs fine.
4. Windows 7 x64 runs fine.

You may have a hardware or system bios issue in combination with the existing drivers. Have you checked the vendors home page for your system? What clues exit in the log files in /var/log?
It sounds like you are using a Latop. Oracle Linux, like RHEL is not designed for desktop and mobile computers. Installation success will depend on your hardware compatibility, but you will very likely be missing appropriate drivers for wireless, video and power management.
If Enterprise Linux is a requirement and you are not using it as the primary OS, or if the computer hardware lacks support, how about installing Oracle Virtualbox and install Linux as a guest OS - I'm pretty sure this should work.

Iphone does n't restart and all i see is a blank screen (black screen). I have tried recharging the battrey but no success

I rebooted my computer and now it's working.
When in doubt, reboot, but in my frustration this afternoon it didn't occur to me.
Thank you all so much for taking the time to answer my question.
I hope this simple solution will help someone else.
enjoyride
I get frustrated with Apple too, but if you've spent any time on an Android device, you would know how lucky we are to have an Apple product. The interface is awful and there are no apps, even to get stuck.
Again thanks...

Phone stuck in recovery mode complete black screen will not turn on after recovery and update there was an error and now computer and itunes will not recognize the phone....Anyone know what I can do to get the phone recognized again when it cant be turned

Phone was not updated on time so it automatically shuts off and you get a plain black screen until it is recovered and updated. Well when i did the update and recovery I received an error. I went through the steps to fix the error, I had to restart my computer and now the phone isnt recognized on my computer or in itunes. The screen is still completely black so pushing the home button and plugging in to computer still does nothing. Device manager shows nothing in usb port, and apple mobile device software is installed and running. Any help?

Hello agardner37701,
I found some steps you can take when your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes when in Recovery Mode. I recommend reviewing the steps in the section titled "If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode" under step 5 in the following article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Ipod touch 4G stuck on swirling motion with black screen

So I jailbroke my ipod with absinthe a few days ago and everything has been working fine but today i used an app i downloaded from cydia (cant remember the name) and it started to respring and went on for a long time so restared my ipod and everything but it still came back to the same screen of a swirling motion with black screen after passing the apple logo. I tried restoring the ipod on itunes but an error keeps occuring and it wont allow me to restore. Itunes wont read my ipod either. My ipod will not allow me to do anything. What should I do?

Go elsewhere. Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty. It also means that you will not get any help from Apple, including from this Apple forum.

When starting Firefox 36 I Sometimes Get a Full Screen Black Screen

OK, I have NEVER before had this iisue with Firefox. ONLY after the use of Firefox 36 has it been happening.
I have seen similar issues mentioned on some other web sites, but no real answers.
What happens is after I have been surfing, a while, I shut down Firefox, and there are NO issues.
When I restart Firefox, it will sometimes come up with the ENTIRE screen black. The monitor power LED indicates I have signal and all that but nothing on screen I have to try various things and then I get my screen back. Now, as I stated, I have seen mention of this on other sites, BUT, no solid usable answers to how to fix let alone why it happens. They seem to mention that with as they call it "some types of web sites" cause some sort of issue with FF. Oh and it always was with older versions of FF (usually from FF 28 to FF 33) which also claim that "this issue should be cleared up with the next release".
Now, I do NOT have use hardware acceleration checked as I know it is an issue on my machine.
And NO safe mode does not appear to anything, but may ahve to do a bit more research.
BUT, what I really would like to know is if it is an addon, why is this issue SO random. I can surf a bunch of sites and quit FF, and restart FF and no issue, yet other times black screen again. This is why I am leaning toward it NOT being an addon, but instead something else. As to what? I have NO clue.
That is why I am posting here to see if any useful ideas crop up.

''FredMcD [[#answer-698567|said]]''
<blockquote>
You are talking about the whole screen, not just the Firefox window, yes?
Do you keep FF full screen? Try using the '''Restore Down''' (next to the
red X) to have FF in a smaller window. Then close / reopen.
Check this:
* see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers
'''https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration'''
* disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
'''https://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround'''
* disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
'''https://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337'''

</blockquote>
OK, first item, NO I never use FF fullscreen EVER.
Second. I am using a nVidia GeForce FX 5200 PCI 128MB card. I have the last driver EVER released for it installed.
Third hardware acceleration is OFF in Flash as well as FF.
And lastly, the items I see listed in the FAQ for Flash Protected Mode DO NOT apply to me as this is when starting FF not when viewing YouTube videos.
And yes, back to your 1st question it is the ENTIRE screen. And like I stated in OP it happens randomly I have never even tried to figure out which sites cause it because I simply surf so many in the course of a session that would literally be impossible.

Mavericks Grey Screen & Black Screen on Startup

While working with the new Mavericks iMovie and GarageBand, the screen of my refurbished 17" MacBook Pro (bought new last year) became white with vertical light grey bars. I forced shut down. Upon restart after the Apple logo and pinwheel go away, there is just a grey screen that doesn't disappear or turn into the desktop (I waited about 15 min). I forces shutdown again. I tried this another time or two with the same results.
I tried holding option to get to the Restore disk. I chose the Restore disk, but after the logo and pinwheel, now a black screen. Repeated with same results. I tried resetting the NVRAM, a few times in a row, and same grey screen. I tried safe boot mode; after the barber pole filled completely, black screen.
In both black screen (likewise with grey screen) the computer is still on; I hear the fan. When it's black screen and I force shut down, I can see the screen flicker off.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

I just tried resetting the NVRAM two times, and on the last chime held down the option key for Restore disk screen. When I hit Restore, Apple logo and pinwheel as before, but instead of a black screen, it's a black screen with thin vertical blue lines. Weirdest thing.
Thanks for any advice!

Frozen screen, black, screen with white whirly circle

my ipad seems frozen, black screen with white whirly circle, before this happened, kept going to the apple logo on the black screen

It might be time to restore your iPad. Recovery mode might be needed as well.
iPad: Unable to update or restore
Before you try recovery mode, connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Click on the iPad on the left side under devices. Then click on the summary tab. See if that works and if it does, click on Restore and try that way first.
iTunes: Backing up, updating and restoring iOS software
If that doesn't work, then you will probably have to resort to using recovery mode.

IPad 1 - Black Screen (Black Screen of Death)

My iPad has a black screen. I call it the "Black Screen of Death". The iPad is fully charged, is recognized in iTunes, will NOT reset by holding down both buttons for any length of time, and I have taken it to an Apple store where I was told they don't know what the problem is but I could purchase a refurbished iPad for $250.
This is the 4th time the screen has gone black. Each time I have been able to use my iPad is from doing a "restore" in iTunes. The restore did NOT work the first time, the second time or third time. I can't be sure how many times I used the restore function. I can only say that each time after several "restore" attempts, I've "given up" on my iPad and let it sit for an unspecified period of time. When I decided to address the iPad again, I clicked the bottom button and the Apple logo appeared. My iPad loaded up and then I connected to iTunes to load all my apps, music, etc. This last time, my iPad was up and running for only two days before the screen went black again. I was playing a game (app) when this occurred.
I am POSITIVE there are thousands of users out there experiencing the same problem but I have yet to read as to why this is happening. I believe users are tired of hearing "hold both buttons to reset" and "take it to the Apple store". Many iPads users are past their warranty, would like a possible or valid reason as to why their iPad is malfunctioning and a reliable software update solution or "do it yourself" remedy.
Is there anyone out there that can address our concerns with an explanation that "sounds" reasonable or a real solution and not the two standard responses?

Stuck on moving bar and black screen?

Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 Series. Windows Vista. My laptop was working perfectly fine last night and when I woke up this morning, I turned it on and it was stuck on the Windows Corporation where the green bar is moving from left to right. I tried doing pressing F8 for safe mode and it went pass through the moving bar but then the screen turned black and all I can move is the cursor. I left it there for good hours just to see if it'll work but it stayed like that. I also tried start up repair and it said if the start up repair fixed the problem, windows should start normally. Then I clicked finish, but it still did the same, still stuck on the moving bar. It showed me a code 0x0 after the start up repair if that will help?
Any suggestions? Greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Try the solutions in this article.
What can I do if my Windows 7 or Windows Vista laptop won't start?

5s stuck in loop of apple screen bright blue screen black screen

My 5s went into a loop of the white screen with apple logo for about 10-15 seconds, followed by a quick bright blue blank screen, then a quick black blank screen, then repeat. I have turned the phone off (holding home and power button for 15 seconds). Tried connecting with iTunes unsuccessfully. Tried connecting USB and turning on. Same loop. I was not turning the phone off or on when this began. Have a genius bar appointment scheduled, but I would love to have some background knowledge of what is going on. I don't know what version of IOS I am running, but I know it was updated to latest version in early July.

leave it alone for sometime and once the status bar is filled up find out what happens next. is the phone giving a display or not and take it from there

White Screen/Black Screen/Stuck in DFU (error 21) - Help!

My iPhone cannot be restored. Everytime I try, I get error 21. I've tried on 3 different PCs, my mac, I've tried with iTunes and even some jailbreaking software. It will not restore. Anything else I can try?
Here's more detailed info:
My battery was low (it was on the screen where it tells you to plug it up and won't function) on December 24 so I left my iPhone at home, charging on my mac while I went out to eat. When I came home, it wouldn't go back on or rest (home + power). I hooked it back up to the mac, thinking it wasn't charged and it said it was in DFU mode.
I tried to restore it and said "error 21." I did everything I read on the Internet (set up a different user account, tried to restore from there, deleted iTunes, tried a new USB cable, tried several computers) and then I tried to install a jailbroken version of the OS on both the mac and PC, because I read that works, but it didn't work either (actually, the software I used goes through iTunes, so I still got error 21).
The phone had the latest version of iOS 4 on it and was not jailbroken before. I cannot take it to a genius bar. The nearest genius bar is a 12 hour drive.
