[Bug 768656] Re: Unity doesn't load on Acer 1810TZ GMA 4500MHD
Looks like it was a problem with competing nvidia drivers from a previous install, so a fresh/live natty install worked fine. Removing nvidia drivers from the system got unity working on the upgraded install. ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid ** Changed in: unity Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/768656 Title: Unity doesn't load on Acer 1810TZ GMA 4500MHD -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Success! I removed the xorg-edgers ppa with 'sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers', then removed the nvidia drivers with 'sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current'. Rebooted, and I am now in Unity! Hoorah.

Thanks Omer. I have done as you suggested (via a usb stick and the startup disk creator), and lo and behold it loads with Unity. As to why nvidia-current is installed, I have no idea. Unless it came in with the xorg-edgers ppa? I believe I am supposed to get rid of the ppa software by running ppa- purge on the system. But that would take me back to where I started with Unity not running. Short of a fresh install, how might I get this working? Or is a reinstall the only option?

Ed, Could you download the Ubuntu-11.04 beta-2 ISO, and start the live session to check if Unity works in the live session. It seems you have nvidia-current installed too, why so? ** Changed in: unity Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/768656 Title: Unity doesn't load on Acer 1810TZ GMA 4500MHD -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
