I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and installed the nvidia drivers from their website (304.60 Latest Long Lived Branch).

They are just not working.

If you can get to logs, please pastebin full logs, not little peaces from it.  Needed are:/var/log/pacman.log from 2 days on before the issue startedxorg.0.log in fullIf alt-ctrl-F1 or F2 work, run some system diagnosis:sudo journalctl or sudo journalctl -a > read_log.txt  to have a text file from it in /homesudo systemctl --all

nvidia-304xx 30 weeks 2 days ago

The latest nvidia up in testing (310-19) has dropped support for cards 7xxx and below.  To keep supplying a non-free driver for those cards, the last used nvidia that supported those is now packaged as nvidia-304xx.Anyone on those kind of older cards, please test this version (you'll see a pretty clear warning in the nvidia update):sudo pacman -Syu sudo pacman -S nvidia-304xxThis should

This has always worked for me (enable non-free repo)...sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-xconfig nvidia-settingsRun nvidia-xconfig as root when it's all done installing, then reboot and run nvidia-settings as root to set your resolution (second item down in the left hand menu, IIRC) and save it as xorg.conf (I don't merge w/ the old file, there's a checkbox).

I'm having strange issues with my GTK2 applications, namely Thunar and Thunderbird:The gui is extremely slow and causes 100% cpu usage (just one core) for the process running Xorg.For example, if I move the pointer between two buttons in Thunderbird I can watch the mouseover-effect being drawn - it takes almost a second!No errors in Xorg.0.log, dmesg or xsession-errors, though.

Today I tried to activate the newer experimental drivers and both 304 and 310 failed to even install.

This brief tutorial will show you how to install nvidia driver the .run package downloaded from official site in Ubuntu 12.04 Precise. It’s a little different since Ubuntu turns to LightDM display manager.

1. Make a backup of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. 2. Download official nvidia driver from http://www.nvidia.com/page/drivers.html. For now, the latest is 304.22 beta 3.
