[ubuntu] 12.04, graphics (Nvidia) problem

view story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – On my laptop Dell Inspiron 9400 I have XP 32-bit installed for years. No graphics problem, never. I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit recently and I've got problems ever since. On both OS. I've tried quite a few different drivers for Ubuntu but I have no luck (knowledge;)). I've found out that there's lots of bugs related to combination ubuntu12-nvidia-compiz, but I found no working solution. I've already tried (and probably even managed:neutral:) to install latest Nvidia drivers 304.43. Still doesn't work. What the problem is: random freezes or random pixels broken or random signs on (Hardware)

Ubuntu 12.10 64bit + GTX 560

I'm aware that there are problems with the current Nvidia card drivers. I got the drivers and ended up seeing nothing but my desktop image when my computer restarted. I managed to remove the update, and I used the "fix" found on the linked page but it didn't work.

On April 10, Canonical published in a security notice details about an NVIDIA graphics drivers vulnerability for its Ubuntu 12.10 and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS operating systems.

According to Canonical, NVIDIA graphics drivers could be made to run programs as an administrator.

Nvidia problems. I think. 46 weeks 1 day ago

Let me start off by saying, I've been trying to run Ubuntu on my custom PC for about 2 years. From 10.04 to 12.04, this problem persists.

When I try to boot Ubuntu from either a USB stick or a CD, I see the normal Ubuntu splash screen.

I have recently started using Arch with nvidia driver (I had a lot of problems getting nouveau to even work so I decided to try nvidia) and I started experiencing rather odd problems.

12.04 Graphics problem 10 weeks 2 days ago

So I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32bit on a Dell XPS L502X with Nvidia GT540m. I'm having serious trouble with getting the drivers to work. Every solution i came across on the net didn't really work with my problem. Currently i have nvidia-current installed from ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates.

I have an ASUS g51vx which has a NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 260M CUDA 1gb graphics card. I have installed ubuntu 9.10 32bit using VMware player running from windows vista 64 bit.
