Dear Friends, As a follow up of my earlier posts, I have to admit that installing the beta nVidia driver v185 did not work as well. The system went in for a freeze. The system would boot up but I presume the x server would not start up. Not possible to access the terminal as well. Powering the system down was the only option available. Had to wait for about 10-15 Min before powering up my laptop. This time I went into recovery mode, and dropped to a root shell. First thing I did was uninstall the nvidia driver. Then back to the recovery console, I did the auto x-config. After which I resumed normal boot. And the system was up again minus all the fancy bells and whistles!
And the firs thing I am doing is writing in this mail to the list. Now I have decided to return the laptop to Dell for overhauling the nvidia graphics card, not immediately as it is functioning fine otherwise and I have got some important work to finish. Sounds like I am the only odd man out!! orthodoc -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
