[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 738789] Re: Ubuntu won't finish boot after nVidia proprietary driver install
Just a note that I still get this occasionally in Ubuntu 16.04 and 16.10, usually after moving to a new series of the nvidia driver, and my case the problem is that nvidia overwrites the /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so and /usr/lib/x86_64-linux- gnu/libGL.so files (eg "ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so|grep -i nvidia" shows nvidia in the file). A workaround when this happens is to install nvidia-prime and run "sudo prime-select intel" to reset to using the intel libraries. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/738789 Title: Ubuntu won't finish boot after nVidia proprietary driver install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/738789/+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 738789] Re: Ubuntu won't finish boot after nVidia proprietary driver install
Hey samsagax, You filed this bug report against natty, but I see it's still open and doesn't appear to have much activity recently. So, now that oneiric is released and stable, this may be a good point for you to upgrade and re-test if this issue is still present there. If it's solved in the new release and you think it's worth backporting the fix, please indicate that. Or if having the fix in the new release is good enough, feel free to close out the bug (or let us know and we'll close it.) If it's not solved, leave the bug report open. I can't promise we'll get to it (we get way more bugs filed than we can usually get to), but your testing and feedback can help out if and when we do. ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/738789 Title: Ubuntu won't finish boot after nVidia proprietary driver install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/738789/+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 738789] Re: Ubuntu won't finish boot after nVidia proprietary driver install
Oh. I totally forgot this issue. In fact this is part of a major issue: No support in any way for Hybrid-graphics under GNU/Linux. You can close this issue, but don't mark it as solved as it isn't. I switched distros (to ArchLinux) about 5~6 months ago. I'm sorry for the delay. But the best thing to do is to provide the best effort to get Hybrid-graphics cards supported. They are a reality and in fact all laptops now have this tech/crap on them, so there is no escape from user frustration in that matter. If I can help in any way, please let me know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/738789 Title: Ubuntu won't finish boot after nVidia proprietary driver install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/738789/+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 738789] Re: Ubuntu won't finish boot after nVidia proprietary driver install
I have a similar problem. After upgrading my ubuntu 11.04 to kernel 2.6.38-10, the nvidia-current driver stopped working. I upgraded my system with the normal software updates. I had to remove the driver (with jockey, over ssh) to get my display back. Before that I could not even get into a tty - just a black screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/738789 Title: Ubuntu won't finish boot after nVidia proprietary driver install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/738789/+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
