Title:
Beta 10.10 Nvidia update broke Sony Vaio VPCF136FM installation
Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I have been using 10.10 beta on my new Sony Vaio VPCF136FM configured
as follows:
Processor: i7-740QM / 1.73 GHz
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M GPU
Display: 16.4" / 1600 x 900
Memory: 6 GB
Ubuntu can't sense my display to set up native x-server properly - it
defaults to 800x600.
I installed the NVIDIA driver when I originally installed 10.10 beta. Worked
perfectly.
Yesterday's (10/04/10) NVIDIA driver update broke my system - won't boot into
desktop - locks up the system. I had to reboot into safe mode and remove the
new NVIDIA driver. I am now only able to run in safe mode 800x600 because
Ubuntu can't detect my display.
More info:
I tried reinstalling the NVIDIA driver. Rebooted to a failsafe root terminal.
Ran: nvidia-xconfig and received the following message:
Using X configuration file:
"/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
VALIDATION ERROR:
Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Undefined Device "(null)" referenced by Screen "Default Screen".
Backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'
New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'
I try to reboot and I get a blank screen with a color background. I
can't Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot, I can't Ctrl-Alt F# to a virtual terminal.
I have to do a cold restart (i.e. hold the power button down to shutdown
and then reboot into failsafe graphics mode so I can remove the NVIDIA
driver to regain control of my system again).
