Also, I receive the same behavior when attempting to install the driver from Nvidia website.
One thing that might be helpful is that when I followed a tutorial online that asked me to blacklist a number of items, namely: blacklist vga16fb blacklist nouveau blacklist rivafb blacklist nvidiafb blacklist rivatv Though I've read a lot about how there is definitely something odd going on with nouveau. Trying to uninstall nouveau by running: apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau doesn't seem to work. lsmod continues to show that nouveau is loaded.... but this might be another bug all together. -- Nvidia restricted driver, black screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/598368 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
