Re: [Bug 728745] Re: [nvidia, 7300, 7400] display freeze when using unity desktop
Okay, I understand the issue about the NVIDA drivers being propriety and nothing can be done about them. But I fell for the understanding I picked up somewhere that 11.10 had worked things out. In 11.04 I could try the NVIDA drivers and then just select the Nouveau driver to get back ground zero. That didn't happen in 11.10. I don't have the option of selecting Nouveau in the Advanced Driver area. And unfortunately 11.10 has moved things all around and much of the instructions from 11.04 don't work. Can someone provide step by step instructions on how to return to the Nouveau drivers in 11.10? I promise I'll never trust an NVIDA driver again. I'm comfortable using the terminal I just don't remember the commands or know where to look for anything. Thanks in advance for any help with this.

I presume this was the nouveau driver since it was not 2D desktop. When prompted to install a driver for the video card, I selected the recommended one. After reboot this resulted in the usual garbled black and white boot splash and after login and a blank desktop. So I reboot and logged in with Ubuntu 2D, then selected the latest Post release driver. After reboot, the same garbled black and white boot splash, but the 3D desktop works. However the consoles (Ctrl+Alt+F1 etc) still do not work. You just get a blank screen, and returning via Ctrl+Alt+F7 gives a totally corrupted screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/728745 Title: [nvidia, 7300, 7400] display freeze when using unity desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nux/+bug/728745/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I changed the video drivers from the proprietary NVIDIA drivers to the experimental open source drivers.

Same bug here too. I get the same situation as Otacon1987. Video card is a GeForce 7300 GS. Additional information. My computer locked up during the upgrade and I had to cut the power to get it back. Rebooting resulted in mount errors and no GUI. I finished the upgrade with a live disk. GNOME desktop works fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/728745 Title: display freeze when using unity desktop -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
