[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 993907] Re: [nvidia GT 240] no desktop after X started

2012-09-16 Thread Shreepad S

Thanks! Actually the NVidia proprietary drivers (nvidia-current,
v295.40) installed from the repos under 'safe mode' are working fine for
me!

Of course I was able to do this action because I had the integrated
Intel graphics, when switched to NVidia card it was all garbage on the
screen...

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 993907] Re: [nvidia GT 240] no desktop after X started

2012-08-29 Thread Shreepad S

For those who, like me, are fortunate enough to have working integrated
graphics (in addition to the NVidia card), workaround available as per
this:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12203570postcount=8

For those who only have the NVidia card I think something similar can be
attempted using the alternate text based installer. Else they could
continue to use Lucid 10.04.4, where this card works just fine...

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 993907] Re: [nvidia GT 240] no desktop after X started

2012-08-25 Thread Shreepad S

Same issue in 12.04.1 LTS as well, but I have a few additional data
points (with screen photos), which surprised me...

Steps:

1. Downloaded 12.04.1 64 bit desktop DVD .iso

2. Written to USB stick via Startup Disk Creator in Lucid (64 bit
desktop)

3. Restarted the system and booted from USB stick. Initial boot screen
(where if you press any key it throws up the language selection followed
by list of boot options) shows up as a small grey bar with a white
border in the bottom left corner as before: See attachment
BootScreen.jpg

4. Next up the boot progress screen works fine, as before. See
attachment ProgressIndicator.jpg

5. Next up the Desktop, and this was a surprise, shows a corrupted
desktop with some parts showing a view of the Snow Mountain track in
Tuxcart. See attachment DesktopWithTuxcart.jpg

My son was playing this particular track on Lucid just immediately
before the restart (from Lucid to Precise on USB), which was done from
the system menu in Lucid.

My guess is that the memory on the graphics card retains the earlier
data from the Tuxcart run before restart and the desktop process/ driver
in Precise is not handling the graphics card memory properly, causing
this to be displayed.

I wanted to confirm if this would work a second time, so I hit the reset
switch on the desktop cabinet (not the power down switch) and restarted
Precise from the USB (I couldn't do a controlled restart as the desktop
was corrupted). I got back to the exactly same corrupted desktop,
showing part of the Snow Mountain track in Tuxcart.

Next I shutdown the computer, switched off the power supply and let it
rest for a while. This time after booting Precise from the USB I was
presented with the corrupted desktop with random noise as before. See
attachment DesktopPostColdStart.jpg

So I think my guess is right...

Next I switched the BIOS setting to use the onboard Intel graphics and
was able to boot into the Precise desktop. There were a few problems
from that point on re installing Precise but they are unrelated to this
bug (I think!!).

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 993907] Re: [nvidia GT 240] no desktop after X started

2012-05-30 Thread Shreepad S

Tried with Linux Mint 13 (Cinnamon 64-bit) Live DVD on USB and faced the 
exactly same situation
- Coloured noise on NVidia
- All well on integrated Intel graphics (G33)

Not suprising I guess seeing how Mint 13 is directly derived from
Precise.

To try something else, I installed Linux Mint 13 (Cinnamon 64-bit) to
another large USB and booted from it (using the Intel graphics).

I then followed the instructions I'd written earlier for installing the
proprietary NVidia drivers
([URL=http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1665630]link[/URL])
with some minor tweaks.

Now posting this from Linux Mint 13 (Cinnamon 64-bit) running off the
larger USB and with the NVidia graphics running fine!! :)

Long story short, the same should work on Precise as well, will give it
a shot when I have some time and report... But Cinnamon is such a
blessing (over Unity) that I'm tempted...  :P

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 993907] Re: [nvidia GT 240] no desktop after X started

2012-05-06 Thread Shreepad S

Tried following your suggestion (also looked at
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1613132.html) but when I
press any key and then the F6 key I don't get to see the menu which
displays boot options from USB live session, just a grey box in the
bottom left side, on which there is a dark grey band that moves up and
down when I press the arrow keys. Even the main menu listing various
options is just a dark grey bar...

Since this only lasts for the given session doing it from a session
running off Intel would be pointless so I thought I'll update the boot
parameters in grub (instructions same post as above)

So I edited /etc/default/grub to include
   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet splash nomodeset

But when I tried 
   sudo update-grub 
I got
   /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev 
mounted?)

So can't get that option to stick either... Any way to update the USB
boot params persistently while using Intel graphics?

Last option I'm going to try and get the latest NVidia driver installed
from the Software Centre working...

Nope, no luck getting the proprietary drivers to work either.

Added a file disable-nouveau.conf in the directory /etc/modprobe.d/ with the 
following contents
 blacklist nouveau
 options nouveau modeset=0

There already was a file with blacklist nouveau (courtesy of the NVidia
proprietary driver install I guess) but tossed this in for good measure,
rebooted with NVidia card, same result as before.

2012-05-05 Thread Shreepad S

Hi

No I haven't installed 12.04 to hard disk as yet (because of this bug),
only running Live session off the USB as per above. There is no grub
menu presented when booted from the USB. Is there a way to trigger the
grub menu (from USB live session) or edit the boot line in the USB data?

Or do you mean adding this to my currently running 10.04.4 from hard
disk? But that works perfectly fine with the NVidia card (am using the
latest proprietary drivers there).

Shreepad
