Title:
Unity DE was not working, had to use Gnome fallback
Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
After trying multiple linux distros (mint 14, mint 15, Lubuntu and
finally Ubuntu), I've had problems with all of them when trying to
install drivers for my Nvidia 650m card (Computer is Dell Inspiron 17r
7220 'Special Edition'). In most cases OpenGL wasn't working, the DE
had problems (Unity wouldn't load, my screen would have only the
background and any desktop icons; no launcher/tray/startbar etc.). I
tried for literally days to scour Ubuntu forums for fixes, including
opening CCSM, unity-tweak-tool, restarting unity, trying different
drivers (both from Ubuntu software center AND from Nvidia's site). The
driver installation went fine, except for the Nvidia website download,
where I usually had a problem to the extent of the installer of the
driver giving me an error somewhat like this: "You are currently
running an X server. Please restart and/or close the X server to
continue installation". I didn't really know what it meant, but i
tried following forum advice and still could not get anything to work.
