[Bug 115102] Re: [edgy -> feisty] no more display with nvidia drivers, can't switch to console
Rominet: Re: Java Sounds like a worthy candidate for a new bug report - how can you be suer that reinstalling will help? I've noticed that reinstalling on Linux rarely fixes problems. Check to see if everything works with a brand new user as that helps narrow down where the problem lies (but all this discussion should go into a separate bug report). Could you try booting with the following option: vga=795 and see if there is any difference? -- [edgy -> feisty] no more display with nvidia drivers, can't switch to console https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115102 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 115102] Re: [edgy -> feisty] no more display with nvidia drivers, can't switch to console
Well, I have the generic kernel installed also, but did not see a boost when launching it ;) I'll try the nvidia drivers with the generic kernel also, I can't remember if I already tried... You're indeed right about the hadware : I have a core 2 duo on a p5b motherboard. By the way, the graphic card is a Albatron Geforce 7300GT, and is also reported in windows as a 7600GS... weird. I didn't know until recently about the support options, but it seems very logical after all... anyway : I can still try the manual install for older nvidia drivers also : if this works, this will show that this is the latest drivers that are the problem, and I doubt anyone but Nvidia will be able to fix it... I'll report as soon as I try all of that :) P.S : I think that I'll reinstall from scratch one day or the other :'( I'm very unlucky with the upgrade... now I discovered that java causes my firefox to hang (and no matter what I try -sun-java5, sun-java6, gij plugin and so on- I can't get any applet loading...) -- [edgy -> feisty] no more display with nvidia drivers, can't switch to console https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115102 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Rominet: Interesting... You are running a 386 kernel on what must be be i586 or later hardware (which CPU/motherboard do you have?). You may find you get a speed boost (or maybe just new problems) if you install linux-image-generic which should be a better match for your hardware (you will also need to install linux-restricted-modules-generic ).

Punting from Ubuntu -> linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20 and setting back to unconfirmed. Rominet: You are going to struggle to find a pre-packaged version of the older drivers (and they probably won't compile on newer kernels anyway if you go the manual way (PS: if you do go the manual way then we will probably have to close this bug as problems that arise after you have installed 3rd party software aren't covered by bugs.launchpad.net)). Could you temporarily edit grub on your hard disk install and remove the splash and vga options form the kernel line? ** Changed in: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20 (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20 -- [edgy -> feisty] no more display with nvidia drivers, can't switch to console https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115102 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi, bad news... I tried the livecd : - using restricted manager, it installed nvidia-glx --> blank screen --> blind reboot - by hand, I installed nvidia-glx-new ran nvidia-xconfig --> blank screen --> blind reboot ... Herrr ??? I'm doomed ;) Next step would be ... the kernel ? Or another older nvidia restricted driver...

[Bug 115102] Re: [edgy -> feisty] no more display with nvidia drivers, can't switch to console
Rominet: The "nice" nvidia installer is new to Feisty. The LiveCD idea would be excellent. After activating the binary driver through restricted-manager don't log out or reboot. Instead press Ctrl- Alt-Backspace . This should make X restart with the new configuration (assuming the driver downloaded over the network and installed correctly). -- [edgy -> feisty] no more display with nvidia drivers, can't switch to console https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115102 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Mmmhhh... good question ;) I had downloaded latest nvidia installer, but it seems to me I did only use the edgy packages : appart from my latest tries on feisty, I don't remember seeing this nice nvidia installer before... Could I have messed up the feisy fawn from edgy ?

[Bug 115102] Re: [edgy -> feisty] no more display with nvidia drivers, can't switch to console
Hi tried disabling EDID : same thing... using the nvidia .run installed driver (I removed the nvidia-glx-new and restricted drivers) : I copied the EDID I got from the NV driver into a binary file, and used it in the nvidia driver using option CustomEDID - this time, it detects the monitor (i.e : does not complain about DPI nor EDID), but still a blank screen. I noticed I strange thing : the nvidia driver always says in the logs there are 2 screens connected : CRT0 and CRT1... but I only have one screen connected...?? It's a pity I don't have an adapter to plug the screen on DVI, to see if it feels better there... I'm not going to reinstall from scratch for now : I'd like to help solve this if possible... or maybe checking the install from scratch would also help (if it still fails) ;) I'll fill a bug for the card detection also, the lspci is also happily reporting a 7600GS card ;) ** Attachment added: "Xorg.0.log.customedid" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7681543/Xorg.0.log.customedid -- [edgy -> feisty] no more display with nvidia drivers, can't switch to console https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115102 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

By the way the misreported card version sounds like a similar problem that was mentioned in passing within Bug #107646 . It might be worth spinning off a separate bug and posting the output of lspci and lspci -vnn (assuming it is wrong in the first lspci output too). -- [edgy -> feisty] no more display with nvidia drivers, can't switch to console https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115102 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you for your bug report. Rominet: Looks like you did some thorough research before filing this. You've already got the Horiz and Vert sync lines, you've already tried "ConnectedMonitor", you've indicated your monitor is a flat panel but connected via VGA, you've included a listing of /lib/linux-restricted-modules, you have included your Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf AND you've tried both nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new. Very impressive! I'm near enough out of ideas unfortunately.
