Never before had a problem with Ubuntu desktop graphical display; Trying to use nvidia GT630

linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I've been using ubuntu since 9.04 and never had a problem with Ubuntu bringing up the desktop graphical user interface. However I am currently not able to see anything graphical past the install screens. I have an Intel DP55KG motherboard and just installed an nvidia gt630 graphics card (zotac), since the old graphics card failed. I can install the server and see text. So I do a apt-get install ubuntu-desktop...or apt-get install kubuntu-desktop...or apt-get install xubuntu desktop, but after the reboot there is no display...its like something is hung up. I tried using the Live quantal dv (HowTos)

Stories similar to Never before had a problem with Ubuntu desktop graphical display; Trying to use nvidia GT630

2 machines; one laptop with Intel graphics, one desktop with nvidia graphics.

Live cd boots fine in the laptop but displays weird graphical glitches when attempting to boot with nvidia machine.

Conclude that there must be a problem with nvidia graphics right now.

Tried nomodeset but only gets as far as login screen then freezes in low graphics mode.

Have had problems with every new ite

First, I am new to Linux in general so my knowledge is little. I am having a problem installing Ubuntu 12.10 on my desktop. I can’t install or run the live cd of Ubuntu, on my display it appear invalid format. I will like to know if there is way for installing Ubuntu.

I downloaded the Ubuntu minimal cd and have set up a command line install in the hopes of learning more about the OS. After searching around on Google for how to set up a graphical desktop. I haven't managed to find any up to date information.

I was aiming to set up any graphical desktop with synaptic installed.

I've a Ubuntu Server 11.10 amd64 installation that needed a graphical desktop to execute some visual apps. While searching for the correct way to achive this, I noticed that there was a lot of people saying that invoquing the gnome desktop installation (apt-get install ubuntu-desktop) would switch from server to desktop kernel. Is this true!?

Nvidia driver problem 19 weeks 12 hours ago

Today I installed ubuntu 12.10 but I noticed some graphical glitches and I decided to install the appropriate graphic driver.

I broke my install of ubuntu 11 a while back after trying to get multi monitor working. After spending a while trying to fix it I gave up. I recently got the Ubuntu urge again so Installed 12.04 first I just did an upgrade and at the log in screen everything froze and I couldn't do anything (move mouse/use keyboard) after a reboot I got crazy graphical glitches (white blocks/blurred text).

I have installed ubuntu on my laptop, but i am having problems with the hdmi port. It doesnt seem to exist.

I have a nvidia gt 415m graphic card and a core i5 which would point at a problem with optimus technology, so i tried to install the new nvidia driver 319, which should help with this problem.

Bumblebee aims to provide support for NVIDIA Optimus laptops for GNU/Linux distributions. Using Bumblebee, you can use your NVIDIA card for rendering graphics which will be displayed using the Intel card. (...)Read the rest of Install Bumblebee in Ubuntu 12.10/12.04 using PPA (462 words)
