[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 538071] Re: Nouveau blacklisting with /usr on seperate partition fails (Lucid Alpha3)
I have separate /usr too, and copying nvidia-current/modprobe.conf to /etc/modprobe.d helped me too. And now my splash screen looks strange... too... It looks like low resolution and low color mode is set in the bootsplash -- Nouveau blacklisting with /usr on seperate partition fails (Lucid Alpha3) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/538071 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in ubuntu. ___ 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 538071] Re: Nouveau blacklisting with /usr on seperate partition fails (Lucid Alpha3)
@Andreas the configuration file in /usr/lib is part of the new alternatives system (which installs a slave link to it in /etc/modprobe.d). I plan on moving it to /lib/nvidia-$flavour though, so as to get around the problem. @afunix That's a 16 colours bootsplash. -- Nouveau blacklisting with /usr on seperate partition fails (Lucid Alpha3) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/538071 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in ubuntu. ___ 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 538071] Re: Nouveau blacklisting with /usr on seperate partition fails (Lucid Alpha3)
This fixes the boot problem. Now I really think that the nvidia-glx packages should be made incompatible as this was the case previously, and the one used for the graphic card sets up its own /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf instead of using update-alternatives. This would demand a bit more bandwidth to the user, but would be considerably much safer... -- Nouveau blacklisting with /usr on seperate partition fails (Lucid Alpha3) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/538071 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in ubuntu. ___ 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 538071] Re: Nouveau blacklisting with /usr on seperate partition fails (Lucid Alpha3)
I'm also getting another issue, which may warrant another bug report entirely, but I wanted to show it here since it started happening as soon as I installed the nvidia related packages. In the attached screenshot, you can see my bootsplash. It's wrong. The colors are off, the resolution is also off. It doesn't fit the screen anymore. Did you guys also get this? It started happening at exactly the first boot after I installed the nvidia driver. ** Attachment added: 2010-04-05 08.56.49.jpg http://launchpadlibrarian.net/43152284/2010-04-05%2008.56.49.jpg -- Nouveau blacklisting with /usr on seperate partition fails (Lucid Alpha3) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/538071 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in ubuntu. ___ 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

I believe the fix worked. Before I had zeroed-out the nouveau.ko files, to make sure they were not being loaded at all. I now reinstalled the kernel, made sure the module existed, and rebooted.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 538071] Re: Nouveau blacklisting with /usr on seperate partition fails (Lucid Alpha3)
I've remarked that the fix randomly screws up my boot process, i.e. quite often the system hangs while booting, and I have to perform SAK system call during boot to get prompted into a root shell and type mountall. Then everything runs fine, but I have a background root shell, which is not exactly what I would like to have...

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 538071] Re: Nouveau blacklisting with /usr on seperate partition fails (Lucid Alpha3)
a better temporary fix for now until the support files are moved into /lib would be to just manually copy the modprobe blacklist to /etc/modprobe.d instead with something like sudo cp /usr/lib/nvidia-current/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf the problem is that /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf is a symlink to a device thats not mounted when it needs to be in your situation and Alberto is going to move it to /lib at some point to work around this. -- Nouveau blacklisting with /usr on seperate partition fails (Lucid Alpha3) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/538071 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in ubuntu. ___ 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
