[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 948053] Re: nvidia-96 and nvidia-173 uninstallable on Precise
I have not experienced any particular problems with Ubuntu or Ubuntu 2D using this driver. However, I have experienced two issues which cause a minor concern for me. If I scroll quickly enough, I have a diagonal 'line' which runs on my monitor from its "northwest" to its "southeast" corner. It's not really a line per se, rather the illusion of a line, as it appears that one half of the screen is refreshing "before" the other half. I am assuming for now that this is more to do with my refresh rate, but I must say that I did not experience this on the same computer two months ago when I was running Windows XP. Additionally, on shutdown I no longer see an account of the computer's "final processes" in the terminal, or whatever was previously displayed. Instead, I get a distorted image of my desktop background (which is currently set to rotate through the default desktops). Aside from this however, it does appear that the card is functioning correctly, and applications which used to drag due to graphic content (i.e, Software Center) are now quite visibly faster and more responsive. I'm currently at work and away from the computer I'm using Ubuntu on, and I'd like to provide more comprehensive details if they are warranted.

...and to prove how new I am, a simple sudo apt-get update solved that problem, didn't it.

Hello, new Ubuntu user over here. I followed the directions as linked by Chris, and apt-get continues to tell me the following: The following packages have unmet dependencies: nvidia-173 : Depends: xorg-video-abi-10 but it is not installable Recommends: nvidia-settings but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. I noticed that the instructions were for Aptitude - is this the correct procedure for apt-get? I do not see any new drivers under System Settings > Additional Drivers either. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/948053 Title: nvidia-96 and nvidia-173 uninstallable on Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nvidia-drivers-ubuntu/+bug/948053/+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
