http://www.ubuntux.org – I've just installed my laptop with a fresh Ubuntu 9.10. I've tried both 32bit and 64bit. Just after the install, i log in, take a system update (about 120Mb), and reboot. Then i go system -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers, and install the Nvidia driver package. I've tried both the 173/185, and I've also downloaded and installed the newest 190 driver from the Nvidia site. The problem with the 173 is that i get the log on sound, but Zero image. I get the terminal if i go ALT+CTRL+F1, no problem. 185 - I get the log on sound, and a torn image with white stripes. Nothing that i can watch and do something with, but just a fuzzy screen. I get the terminal, no problem. 190 - Same as the 185. I've clean installed 6 times now, and it will not work. The only way to get the system ut again is to enter /etc/X11/xorg.conf and switch the driver from "nvidia" to "nv". any ideas? I really want my 3d and my visual effects :) (Distributions)

I have a problem with this configuration:

Asus K55V, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Nvidia driver 304.51.

I have remove the nouveau driver with:

apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

I installed the official nvidia driver (from www.nvidia.com) but when I reboot the PC the resolution of screen is only 640x480 and the monitor is resized.

Mo solution at this problem if i change the xorg.conf.

I just installed ubuntu 11.10 64bit on my laptop and everything worked fine until I installed the nvidia driver (for a GeForce GT 525M).

After I install the driver and reboot, the effects like snap windows do not work.

In order to work I have uninstalled the driver.

Is there a way for me to use the driver and still have the effects available?

Thanks for the help.

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.

I have used rEFIt to achieve triple-boot on my 15' Retina Macbook Pro. However, for now I cannot get the nVidia drivers to work under Ubuntu 12.04 x64.

Every time after I installed the nVidia Driver, X won't restart, and give me an error of "No screens found".

I have tried both drivers from nVidia's website and drivers from Proprietary Drivers in Ubuntu's System Settings.
