[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1579501] Re: graphics distorted, lightdm restarting
Before it worked I tried a lot of different approach. Manually disabling nouveau before installing the driver, etc. Here are some steps I did: (I cant remember the specific order and don't know which had played a decisive role. Maybe I had a different problem) - installing the chip set driver (amd64-microcode) - sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-* - compiled and tested nvidia driver installer by myself (failed to install) - added following to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf blacklist nouveau blacklist lbm-nouveau options nouveau modeset=0 alias nouveau off alias lbm-nouveau off - echo options nouveau modeset=0 | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-kms.conf - sudo update-initramfs -u - sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf - echo 'nouveau' | sudo tee -a /etc/modules Hope it helps someone.

Updated all packages of the system (I think there was also an update of lightdm) yesterday. Using the update manager which is now gone?!? Today I've installed 304.134 (not -updates) --> no freeze until now. Reboot / Cold start. Still works like it should until now. I'll keep it like that an will report if there is a freeze. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579501 Title: graphics distorted, lightdm restarting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates/+bug/1579501/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
