No desktop after installation of nvidia drivers

linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I have a problem very similar to this guy: Desktop does not show when I installed nvidia drivers!. I have the same problem with the desktop not being present when I install choose the nvidia drivers from the software sources dialog. I've trie the answer mark as the solution, but this doesn't help me. Still get the same result / bug. I've also tried just to reconfigure it, like this guy says: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12303179&postcount=4, but that didn't help me either. Then someone suggested that I should try Bumblebee. I followed the installation (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ (HowTos)

My machine crashed (powered down unexpectedly) recently with an 8GB thumb drive attached to it. When it came back up I was trying to delete a file in one of the folders, but it kept telling me that the filesystem on the device was read only. Googling lead me to the third post on this thread:

When I installed Lubuntu 12.04 (amd64) I had that infamous B43 firmware problem, but I was able to find a workaround.

This time, installing Lubuntu 12.10 (amd64) I wasn't able to find a solution for the B43 firmware problem.

I've tried the same steps that have worked for many other users, as you can find here http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...44&postcount=6 and here http://ubuntufor

[ubuntu] Disabling USB hardware 3 years 23 weeks ago

Hi, looking for a workaround here. I have a hand-me-down laptop that has a somewhat fried system board.

An HP pavilion dv6000 w/ amd64, the manifestation of the hardware problem is the usb ports are unrecognized (in windoze or ubuntu). In ubuntu, the syslog shows a constant stream of messages like this:

I tried the guide here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1038949&page=11

You have two options.

#1 - I highly suggest you move your howto to the Ubuntu wiki.

Hi, I'm running 9.10, and external usb drives are no longer being detected and mounted automatically. I can see the devices if I run Palimpsest disk utility, but the option to mount them is not available.
