I have tried to install the nvidia driver, via the NVIDIA script "The hard way" (see attached), but this too has failed. The /etc/default/linux-restriced-modules-common, and /etc/modules file settings seem to be ignored by ubuntu. The NVIDIA script ran without errors, but after restarting KDM, I just got the same jockey "Low resolution" dialog. The xorg.conf has been reverted to the "nv" driver, but running lsmod does not show the nv or nvidia modules at all so it seems the whole video sytem is a mystery nowadays.
I guess this info is out of date too, as it seems any community information I can find is. The line about rm /lib/linux-restricted- modules/.nvidia* is clearly wrong in my case, as this folder contains subfolders for all current and older kernels. It seems I am up against a brick wall with this. Does anybody have any up to date information on how to get nvidia drivers to work? ** Attachment added: "Nvidia_installation_the_hard_way.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20726074/Nvidia_installation_the_hard_way.txt -- restricted nvidia driver fails after upgrade to kubuntu 8.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232012 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
