Ubuntu :: Nividia Driver Update Kills Ubuntu?
Mar 24, 2011I got a new lcd wide screed and updated the driver to my nivdia 7800gt card. First with the driver checked by ubuntu but that only did vga and cga modes.Next I went to nividia and pulled over their driver after that and it changing the kernel, Horror, it will not boot nor boot the recover from grub. When I try to reinstall 10.04 it starts ok and sort of stops.alt cont F1 does nothing live boot or from the 500g hard drive. I also have an 80g drive with 8.04 and when I boot from that it gives me my login screen less any icons names etc.I can feel my way through the login and again no icons.alt cont F1 gives me a big unix type terminal.I've also tried with the video card removed using the default video on the motherboard, different but similar.I've also re-flashed bios, I'd refreshed it previously so this bios was working.

Jan 20, 2010I'm trying to install Kubuntu 9.10 on my machine (I had the same problem with Kubuntu 9.04). The machine is:
- Core 2 Quad 6600
- Nvidia 7600 GS
- Two disk seagate 500 in mirroring raid software
When I try to install Kubuntu, after disk partition, my system dosn't see the CD. He tell me to insert disk into drive but I doesn't touch it. I resolved this mounting an external hard disk into /cdrom. After this, the installation continues until the step "select and install software". At this step, the installation procedure tell me an error. During this error, in the other console, I've this:

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.10 Nvidia Driver Installation - Reboots Straight Into Terminal
Oct 15, 2010I have been bashing my head against the keyboard for over 6 hours now i just got a brand new asus ul30v it uses Nvidia geforce G 210M.
I went straight to installing ubuntu 10.10 on the whole disc. when the installation was complete i was happy and logged in. only seconds after i logged in i was promted that i was recomended to install a driver for my graphic card, for 3d and such. so i followed the installation and was asked to reboot. so i did. but then ubuntu booted straight into fullscreen terminal.
While being in this terminal i have tried to purge and reinstall GDM amongst endless other things, including rebooting several times.
Not being able to do anything about it, i reinstalled, and repeated the installation of the driver. same story over again.
Bottom line is i have rebooted close to 30 times, and reinstalled over 5 times. ive tried installing from the terminal (excactly the same story). tried to download it from their homepage, then install it (couldn't install it because i had to turn off driver X and "terminate all OpenGL applications", wich i dont know how to do. tried googling it, but ended up worse than before..[url]
Im guessing i cant install the driver at all with ubuntu 10.10? i havent tried it with older ubuntu versions because, of course, i wanted the newest version.
I have barely been using ubuntu before, although i've had it dualbooted.
I have found alot of posts with people getting stuck in terminal on boot, but none of the solutions that worked for them worked for me, probably because they had different problems than me.
Ubuntu Installation :: Manually Configuring Printer / Driver Installation?
May 20, 2011If I were to have a situation where I had installed the driver for a printer but when I went into printing on the control panel to "add" the printer the driver didn't show up - could I or should I consider manually editing some configuration file to get the printer recognized/ installed on the machine? If that were a good solution, how would I do it? What file would I look for? What would I edit in it? I know that first sentence is probably hard to read but I don't know how else to say it.

Jul 21, 2010I would like to know if anyone has installed the latest NVIDIA driver on Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit) which is 256.35 (x86_64).

Fedora Installation :: F12 Installation Freezes Due To Nouveau Driver
Nov 30, 2009As I mentioned before, I has having freezes while installing F12 (x86_64) with a GeForce 8600 GT. I was able to complete the installation by doing it with the "basic" video driver. However, I was still getting frequent freezes. I installed the testing Nvidia drivers, and the freezes went away. When it froze, it was a hard freeze -- it wouldn't respond to CTRL-ALT-DEL or SysRq (I did enable SysRq first). I had to do a hard reset.

View 6 Replies View RelatedFedora Installation :: No Display After ATI Driver Installation?
Feb 12, 2009I'm new to Fedora and just installed F10 yesterday. Everything was perfect, no snags at all, until I used the software tool to install the ATI drivers. Now my computer boots but instead of going back to the GUI all I get is a gray screen. I've tried everything I know to get to the command line so I can go back to my old X11 settings but there's no response -just the gray screen.
I'd prefer not to have to reinstall if I could avoid it. Is there a know bug with either a Toshiba Satellite A210 series laptop or the ATI Radeon Mobility X1300 graphics card? Since I'm not able to get to the command line, I don't know of a way to diagnose what's failing.
Fedora Installation :: Realtek Driver Installation
Dec 20, 2010I'm new to Fedora and just installed the latest version on my Compaq Presario CQ56. Everything except for the WirelessLan seems to be working. The driver is missing, which I've already downloaded and when trying to run the "make" command it tries to cd into the following directory:/lib/modules/2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686/build
whereas the build folder is actually a dangling symlink which it for some reason can't access. Is there anything I can do to solve this issue?
Ubuntu Installation :: ATI Driver Not Working?
Jan 2, 2010I am using my ATI Radeon 9550 display card but just can't adjust it to 1920x1080 resolution in ubuntu 9.10. I can't even start ATI Catalyst Control Center and i believe there is something wrong with the driver. When i try to start ATI Catalyst this message pop up "There was a problem initilizing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following. No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly. install the ATI driver appropriate for you ATI hardware, or configure using aticonfig."
Everything works fine in Ubuntu 8.10.

Apr 14, 2010A few days ago I installed 10.04 Lucid beta-2 and it came up OK. I then chose the recommended Nvidia driver "version current", which caused my system to come up in low graphics mode. I removed the driver and the system came up with no X11. I gave up.Yesterday I installed again, hoping that newer updates would fix the problem. The boot is now OK with no proprietary driver activated and all updates installed as of now (April 14, 05:30 GMT).
The Hardware Drivers dialog shows two choices: Nvidia version 173 and "version current (recommended)". Both of these show the status "this driver is activated but not currently in use". The only option offered is the button "remove".

Apr 21, 2011I recently bought a new Envy 14. The Envy 14 has switchable graphics which i figured would give me a problem. I am trying to get Ubuntu 10.10 onto it and have almost achieved it. I am able to load Ubuntu live and then install it. Everything including sound and wireless work perfectly out of the box. The issue comes when I try to install the ATI proprietary drivers. The drivers install and then when i restart it boots to a command prompt. When i run fglrxinfo (i think that was the command) it tells me it can't detect a graphics card. Any help would be awesome. I would love to run Linux on this laptop (running windows for 2 months has been painful).

Ubuntu Installation :: Nvidia Driver Not Being Used
Jul 4, 2011I just upgraded to 11.04 a couple days ago, and it didn't go smoothly because I ran out of space, so I had to pause it and grow a partition.
When I got done there were several problems. One of them is that my nvidia proprietary driver is no longer being used. I found it in "additional drivers" and activated it, but it says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system. This driver is activated but not currently in use."
I can run the nvidia control panel just fine, and write an xorg.conf file, but after I reboot the above message stays the same.
My xorg.conf file says to use the nvidia driver. My Xorg.0.log shows the nvidia board coming up what seems to be normally.
The "appearance" control panel doesn't even have the special effects tab anymore.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Can't Enable Wireless Driver
Jan 10, 2010I installed the 4gb persistent version to a usb drive to use on a emachines netbook with 250gb hard drive. Everything worked great from USB had the wireless going and all. Decided to install it to the HDD, followed the steps at the Ubuntu start menu, install from USB. Followed all recommended procedures during install, split the HDD in Half (the only thing on there was windows 7 just bought this thing) at the partition window.
Ubuntu loads fine but when trying to load the wireless driver as before with the usb it doesnt activate. I have to enter in a password, it seems to accept it, a download screen comes up, I see keys going over to the wireless icon and....nothing.
Then tried to load up windows 7...uh oh. I see windows 7 and a windows vista os at the initial option screen. I selected windows 7 and it brought me back, so I selected windows vista and now it is having me recover. I chose the basic recovery first hoping it was due to moving the partition. It is recovering now but I am really worried if it's going to work again as windows 7, vista ?, wipe out Ubuntu or what!
Also, already rebooted Ubuntu a couple times, no luck with driver install

May 1, 2010i have just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my Dell XPS M1530. Previously, i got the bcmwl proprietary driver to work when i was trying the live cd. for some reason, when i installed it however, it did not work the same. when ubuntu booted when i installed it, it did not sense the proprietary driver. so i went in to the ubuntu disc itself and got the bcmwl driver and the dkms packages. so i try to install both of them with dpkg -i as root. dkms installed successfully, however, the bcmwl driver gave me this:

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Can't Get NVidia Driver Running
May 2, 2010I installed the Nvidia driver. When I click on the "Monitors" package it then asks if I want to use my graphics drivers vendor's tool. I say yes and then it pops up the Nvidia X Server Settings dialog. In that menu it indicates I need to run nvidia-xconfig from root. I did this and then restarted the xserver but to no avail I get the same message every time I try to run "Monitors", that I need to run nvidia-xconfig.
