As for messages, look at /var/log/messages. It's a long document, but
if you open it in Mousepad or Gedit you can do a search on things like
'nvidia' and such.
I was going to reply that I don't have /var/log/messages, but I
DuckDuckGo'd it and found out that Ubuntu uses syslog.
https://askubuntu.com/questions/51265/where-is-var-log-messages
While I have found /var/log/syslog, I haven't found an understandable
description of how to read it. Clue stick, please.
It might make a log more sense to look at the X server log file.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
It does help verify some things I know (because of current experience),
and tells me things I didn't know (Nouveau is loaded)
Here are the (EE) lines, and some Nouveau (II) lines:
[ 26.944] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not
exist, 0)
[ 27.073] (II) LoadModule: "nouveau"
[ 27.073] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nouveau_drv.so
[ 27.350] (II) NOUVEAU driver Date: Mon Jan 28 23:25:58 2019 -0500
This confirms that I need to reinstall the nVidia driver. From
yesterday's experience using Synaptic, that didn't work. Do I need to
use Synaptic, or some command line magic, to completely remove all the
old nVidia stuff, and then reinstall, using Synaptic or the command line?
Thanks!
