[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 741930] Re: [natty] nvidia binary packages for older cards - dependencies not met

I guess "Hurry up!" comments won't help. If there are only a handful of people in the world suffering from this bug, I guess its priority will remain low, no matter how much we will complain (or cry... or break furniture...). I guess there must be some way to pay canonical for the support of the n

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 741930] Re: [natty] nvidia binary packages for older cards - dependencies not met

Please, is there a workaround, enabling the installation of Ubuntu 11.04, but keeping previous versions of XOrg, nvidia-96 drivers, whatever is needed? Thanks, -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 in Ubunt

Please note that I *almost* blindly launched the upgrade to 11.04, and the first steps, I had no warning whatsoever. Thanks Google, I guess. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.laun

I can't believe it's happening again. :-( My luck is : I'm still stuck with Unbuntu 10.10, with the old (very old) drivers. :-/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bu

Thanks to eMcE's hack, I succeeded in getting my screen back. Still, there one glitch : Upon restarting, it went on the console, because it could not find the nvidia driver. I guess it was because I installed nvidia-current alongside nvidia-96. The solution was to choose nvidia-96 driver instead o

Same problem for me. I wonder if "normal" people could have found the "dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg /extra-modules/nvidia_drv.so: undefined symbol: miEmptyData" source of their problem. Because starting 10.10 on a black&white console is far from sexy (not mentioning irritating). Having to dig the logs is
