Re: [ubuntu-uk] Mythbuntu crashes with Nvidia driver
Ok tried everything and the system still hangs when I load the Nvidia driver. Looks like the card may be faulty, will try with a newer card when I remove it from another system. (Also tried with xmbc live cd and the nvidia driver there, same issue) -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] Mythbuntu crashes with Nvidia driver
Steve asked: The restricted nvidia driver crashes, X crashes or the kernel oopses? The whole machine freezes, no keyboard no mouse etc, power cycle only way to recover. Michael suggested trying Envy.. Will give it a go over the w/e. Dave asked: What version of mythbuntu? the version that came with Linux Format mag this month. This was a clean install, I answered install the nvidia driver to the restricted driver question, and it crashed on boot. Booted again from the cd and deleted the xorg.conf and it booted ok. Then used the restricted driver option to install the nvidia driver and it hung on startup when trying to load X.

Ken Not that i've ever tried it, but you may try having a look at Envy. Its supposed to help install/configure NVidia and (i think) ATI cards. sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html Cheers, Michael On Wed, 2008-10-01 at 15:14 +0100, Ken Robson wrote: I am trying to build a Myth-Tv setup, I have a new board cpu and a second-hand Nvidia 5200 with dvi output.
