[Bug 182003] Re: nvidia driver unable to load on clean 7.10 install
I've done some further investigation and it seems a driver/kernel/bios/memory problem with kernels > 2.6.20 unrelated to the distro you use. There's a thread in the nvidia linux forums where the problem is discussed. ps. I've tried all 3 methodes of installing the nvidia driver (restricted driver manager, compile from source with nvidia installer, using envy) neither of them worked and all gave the same problem. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=100658 -- nvidia driver unable to load on clean 7.10 install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182003 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

Please run "dmesg|grep -i nvidia". The error message suggests that some other module is claiming the device. Have you used envy or the upstream nvidia installer? ** Changed in: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- nvidia driver unable to load on clean 7.10 install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182003 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 182003] Re: nvidia driver unable to load on clean 7.10 install
Please I know what I am doing It is enabled with the restricted manager and it is installed. The kernel module simply fails to load due some unknown 7.10 only cause. In 7.04 it works perfectly, in gentoo it works perfectly and in fedora it works perfectly but in a clean 7.10 install or a clean 7.04 to 7.10 upgrade it simply refuses to work and I am stuck with the nv driver. I even tried dld and compiling the driver directly from the nvidia site. It all goes well until the nvidia installer wants to load it/I want to modprobe it/ubuntu wants to modprobe it. Something is claiming ownership of my nvidia card, making the kernel unable to load the driver! The question is: what can possibly claim ownership of my gf7300 in 7.10 that didn't do so in 7.04? -- nvidia driver unable to load on clean 7.10 install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182003 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

You need to enable it using restricted-manager. Not a bug. ** Changed in: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22 (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 => linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22 Status: New => Invalid -- nvidia driver unable to load on clean 7.10 install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182003 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
