I reinstalled the Nvidia-173 driver. After that I removed it and rebooted. When my PC restarted I got a message that my PC could start only in low graphics mode, and had only a terminal to logon, no desktop session. I logged on and the output of lsmod is in the attached file lsmod3.txt where as you can see there are no graphics drivers (no nouveau a no Nvidia ones). I ran a dpkg --list *nvidia* to find Nvidia drivers installed and as you can see in the attached nvidia.txt file, the Nvidia-173 drivers where still installed. I had to remove them with dpkg -r and after reboot I found myself with the nouveau drivers installed.
This has happened to me quite often testing 12.10 kernel on 12.04. ** Attachment added: "lsmod3.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/1062846/+attachment/3380053/+files/lsmod3.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1062846 Title: Cannot uninstall Nvidia-173 driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/1062846/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
