[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1579501] Re: graphics distorted, lightdm restarting

Today I've installed 304.134 (not -updates) --> no freeze until now. Reboot / Cold start. Still works like it should until now. I'll keep it like that an will report if there is a freeze. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579501 Title: graphics distorted, lightdm restarting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates/+bug/1579501/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1579501] Re: graphics distorted, lightdm restarting
Today I've updated the packages. Graphics distortions are back again. Tried to reinstall the nvidia-304 driver. No success. As far as I can remember, the only nvidia related software which was updated was the nvidia-settings package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579501 Title: graphics distorted, lightdm restarting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates/+bug/1579501/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1579501] Re: graphics distorted, lightdm restarting
Before it worked I tried a lot of different approach. Manually disabling nouveau before installing the driver, etc. Here are some steps I did: (I cant remember the specific order and don't know which had played a decisive role. Maybe I had a different problem) - installing the chip set driver (amd64-microcode) - sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-* - compiled and tested nvidia driver installer by myself (failed to install) - added following to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf blacklist nouveau blacklist lbm-nouveau options nouveau modeset=0 alias nouveau off alias lbm-nouveau off - echo options nouveau modeset=0 | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-kms.conf - sudo update-initramfs -u - sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf - echo 'nouveau' | sudo tee -a /etc/modules Hope it helps someone. Let me know if you need anything like versions, logs, etc. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579501 Title: graphics distorted, lightdm restarting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates/+bug/1579501/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
