Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nvidia-current
I'm running Ubuntu Lucid beta 2 64-bit on a 3 GHz Intel Core Duo quad core machine with 4 GB memory and two NVIDIA Geforce 8800 GTX's. I had been using the "nouveau" driver, which works but does not allow me to use my second and third monitors. I just tried to install the "version current" version of the binary NVIDIA driver using the Hardware Drivers applet (which had just been fixed to make this even possible). The install seemed to go well, but after restarting the system Ubuntu now will no longer start up. When I try a normal boot I get a flashing text cursor and a harddisk light which remains on forever. The recovery mode also no longer works. I see some kernel messages flash by, but then the system hangs again with the harddisk light on, this time with a completely black screen (no cursor). ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Lucid beta 2: Ubuntu no longer boots after installing current NVIDIA driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/567202 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
