http://askubuntu.com – New Ubuntu user - just recently made the mistake of trying a different nvidia driver. I'd managed to get the last (nvidia-current) one working through software sources a few weeks ago. The other day I tried to cross over to nvidia-experimental-310 and this produced a system error. Swapping back and forth between proprietary drivers now always causes an error and I can't get any of them to work. Installing through the terminal I get this error message every time: Building initial module for 3.5.0-19-generic Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.5.0-19-generic (x86_64) Consult (HowTos)

world. I'm trying to upgrade my system but I get this error

Done. Loading new virtualbox-4.1.12 DKMS files... First Installation: checking all kernels... Building only for 3.2.0-37-generic Building initial module for 3.2.0-37-generic Error!

I was updated my Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS kernel to version 3.5.0-18-generic so I need to recompile my broadcom-sta to work with the new kernel

I was run

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure broadcom-sta-dkms

I have had a hell of a weekend trying to get the NVIDIA drivers to work on my DELL XPS Studio 1340. I have been using the real time kernel cause I want to use this to do some multi-track recording. Upon my initial installation of Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit, everything seemed to work great out of the box. However when I connected my Dell 20" LCD monitor I found that it was not detected.

Hello everyone.

I run Ubuntu 10.04 and once in a while I stumble upon the following error message on startup:

Code: Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode

The following error was encountered.

Hi all,

after the kernel update i cannot install latest Nvidia driver.

Suddenly, after installing, boot was failed.

I have an hp pavilion dv5 series laptop, with ati hd 3450 graphics, 512m dedicated memory.

I have a problem with my sound card, that it won't play sound through it's own speakers. So i figured I need to install a new kernel, which I did.

I upgraded Ubuntu from 10.04 to 12.04 but, I cannot install ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver.

I was having issues with MythTV and video Blanking for short periods.

Jean-Yves Avenard suggested reverting back to a 270.* nVidia driver and I am have trouble getting them to install.

I have tried following a few suggestions I found via google but having no joy.

Firstly I am running Mythbuntu 12.04 LTS.
