[Bug 769846] Re: Can't Boot into natty after installing nvidia driver
I dont have the natty installation any more. I gave on natty because i just couldn't make it run. Besides, i dont wanna turn of acpi. I am back to 10.04 now. Yes, i already tried noapic nolapic. They dont work. Others seem to be having the same problem too. It has to be x86_64, exactly 4GB Ram, nvidia driver for this problem to occur, Hope this gets fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/769846 Title: Can't Boot into natty after installing nvidia driver -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 769846] Re: Can't Boot into natty after installing nvidia driver
Hi Fabio, I tried both the recommended the experimental driver . Neither of them works. I did a clean install without the download updates while installing option. Then i could boot into natty . I installed the Recommended nvidia driver and restarted. Now, i could boot into natty but nvidia driver was not in use. Additional h/w drivers indicated that the proprietary driver is activated but not in use. When i ran nvida xserver settings GUI, it said nvidia drivers are not in use. Run nvidia-xconfig as root reboot. I ran nvidia-xconfig as root rebooted. Now, its the same blank screen again. Luckily I installed sshd before installing the nvidia drivers. So i can ssh into the box but i dont see anything on the screen. ' dmesg' shows the following messages (This is with the recommended nvidia driver) [ 11.039476] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.

[Bug 769846] Re: Can't Boot into natty after installing nvidia driver
Adding acpi=off solves the problem partially. Now, i dont get a blank screen. I can login to unity. I can see the unity bar but it is not responsive. I can see the desktop but nothing is responding. Even ctrl- alt-del doesn't work. I can just do a ssh into the system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/769846 Title: Can't Boot into natty after installing nvidia driver -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
