[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1300669] Re: X Server fails to start with nvidia-331 in 14.04
Thanks for your suggestion but bumblebee was not installed. However, after switching the driver to the nvidia-update Branch and the Destkop- Manager from GNOME to Unity, the problem vanished. So this might as well be a GNOME problem, thus i'm marking it as invalid. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1300669 Title: X Server fails to start with nvidia-331 in 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1300669/+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

1.) Do you happen to have bumblebee installed ? Try to remove bumblebee with purge option. sudo apt-get remove --purge bumblebee* If it is not install check in folder /etc/modprobe.d for file bumblebee.conf. If exists delete it (contains blacklist option for nvidia) rm -f /etc/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf Bumblebee blacklists nvidia driver. After that install nvidia-331 driver and nvida-prime package: sudo apt-get install nvidia-331-updates nvidia-prime Reboot -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1300669 Title: X Server fails to start with nvidia-331 in 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1300669/+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

how did you switch to the blob? The only supported way is via the driver manager which then configures the system correctly ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1300669 Title: X Server fails to start with nvidia-331 in 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1300669/+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

Actually i tried both ways. Switched via driver manager from Nouveau to Nvidia 331.38 (proprietary, tested) and since this did not work i tried sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 Both lead to the same behaviour described above. I'm stuck at the loading screen and no login screen ever shows up ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1300669 Title: X Server fails to start with nvidia-331 in 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1300669/+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
