[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1362848] Re: ubuntu 14.04 after install nvidia binary driver 331.89 black screen and freeze
I have a laptop Asus K53s with nVidia GeForce GT 540M. I (freshly) installed Ubuntu 14.04 64bit and set up nvidia-331 proprietary driver for the graphic card. I set prime option to run nVidia acceleration and it used to work fine. On 25th Janaury 2015, there was an Ubuntu software update (from apt log I saw it was updated nvidia-settings, and other stuff) after which I see a black screen instead of the login screen. I tried to switch to intel graphic card (sudo prime-switch intel) but it gives erros, it is not able to switch to intel. I tried to purge nvidia* and then install nvidia-340, but it still shows black screen instead of login. The only way to use my laptop is to install: apt-get install nvidia-current-updates which is the driver nvidia-304. But it uses the intel graphics card. It is not possible switch to nVidia neither with sudo prime-switch nvidia nor with nvidia-setting graphic utility. I need to use my nVidia card for graphic acceleration (OpenGL). At the moment the laptop is too slow for my activity (CAD). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1362848 Title: ubuntu 14.04 after install nvidia binary driver 331.89 black screen and freeze Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 64bit, after install nvidia binary driver 331.89 from Additional Drivers application then reboot, it shows black screen, no login window, I even can't use ctrl+alt+F2 to switch to text mode, then I reboot and go to recovery mode, use 'prime-select intel' to switch to intel GPU and reboot, everything is fine, but as soon as I switch to nvidia GPU, still same issue.

I fixed the problem with my nvidia graphic card using the post #15. Thank you very much kcpr (mkasprzyk5) without your help I would not be albe to fix it. Here how I fixed in details: Log out and go to the console: CTRL-ALT-F1 if (like me) you tried to install latest nvidia driver (nvidia-340 ...), you need to revert back with following commands: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers sudo apt-get purge nvidia* Then copy all xorg config files in a temporary dir: cd mkdir temp sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf* ./temp/ Then clean, update, upgrade and reboot the system: sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo reboot Go to the console: CTRL-ALT-F1 Install nvidia 331: sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 nvidia-prime Copy the old xorg.conf made by nvidia back in its directory: sudo cp temp/xorg.conf.nvidia-xconfig-original /etc/X11/xorg.conf And edit it (I used vi, you may prefer nano): sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf To be as the following: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "layout" Screen 0 "nvidia" Inactive "intel" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "intel" Driver "intel" BusID "PCI:0@0:2:0" Option "AccelMethod" "SNA" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "intel" Device "intel" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "nvidia" Driver "nvidia" BusID "PCI:1@0:0:0" Option "ConstrainCursor" "off" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "nvidia" Device "nvidia" Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "on" Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "CRT" EndSection Eventually reboot the system: sudo reboot Now I have nvidia set as graphic card and the hardware acceleration works fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1362848 Title: ubuntu 14.04 after install nvidia binary driver 331.89 black screen and freeze Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 64bit, after install nvidia binary driver 331.89 from Additional Drivers application then reboot, it shows black screen, no login window, I even can't use ctrl+alt+F2 to switch to text mode, then I reboot and go to recovery mode, use 'prime-select intel' to switch to intel GPU and reboot, everything is fine, but as soon as I switch to nvidia GPU, still same issue.
