Title:
Jockey doesn't disable Nouveau and says "failed to install nvidia
driver"
Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Sorry for my terrible English, I'm Russian.
Jockey in Lucid in all implementations (jockey-gtk and jockey-kde)
fails to install Nvidia proprietary driver.
In Lucid default driver for Nvidia video cards is Nouveau, which
provides KMS and other good stuff. But, because of that when you
installing Nvidia proprietary driver, you must disable Nouveau. Jockey
forget about that and fails nvidia install, but after that says
"reboot system!". After rebooting (because nvidia-glx in real
installed and /etc/X11/xorg.conf created) we see conflict of kernel
modules, and Nouveau is still enable.
How to disable Nouveau:
add to /etc/default/grub in line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="{something}" string "nomodeset". This must
seen as GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="{something} nomodeset". Jockey
must do that automatically after installing Nvidia driver and after
removing Nvidia driver must delete this string. I'm Gentoo user (it's
a good google-fu qualification :-) ), and I quickly find this issue,
but some people may have problems with that.
