Title:
nvidia-173(-updates) driver hangs on startup
Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-173” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Introduction: upgrading my system to precise 12.04, the upgrade
procedure removed nvidia proprietary drivers (nvidia-173-updates)
because the version on the repository had some broken dependency with
new version of xserver. After the upgrade my 12.04 system worked with
nouveau drivers (but slowly than proprietary drivers).
Today (27/7/2012) the repositories was updated with new version of
nvidia-173(-updates) drivers, rebuilded to gain xserver compatibility.
I do the same procedure as the older ubuntu versions (see
https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/hardware/C/jockey.html) to install proprietary
drivers, but after reboot the graphic environment doesn't start anymore: after
some seconds with the Ubuntu logo, the system returns at the shell with login
prompt. If I try to launch "startx" command manually, I see some daemons to
start (with [ok] in the right side of the screen) and then the execution
stopped without any error message, the keyboard freeze (the numlock key doesn't
work anymore...)
Tried to uninstall and reinstall nvidia-173 and nvidia-173-updates manually
more times (eg. sudo apt get install nvidia-173)
If I simply uninstall the nvidia proprietary driver, the system returns to
work with no problems...
Perhaps a nvidia-173(-updates) package bug?
What else can I check?
