My Ubuntu Karmic crashed after Video Card upgrade In my case, ubuntu crashed after I upgraded Video Card to nvidia 9800GT and installed manually new driver 190.xx without uninstalling previous version 180.xx which is installed by System >Administration > Hardware Drivers. (monitor Acer with 1440x900).
1. To fix the problem I uninstalled manually all nvidia drivers, and installed again new nvidia driver. Probably you need to restore /etc/X11/xorg.conf file if you have done backup copy, and modified /etc/usplash.conf files according to post #26. 2. Another Solution is to boot Ubuntu Karmic from LiveCD and save configuration files for graphic card: /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/usplash.conf make backup of your configuration files and replace by those from LiveCD, in terminal or in recovery mode (in real system NOT from Live CD) run command: update-initramfs -u reboot system *** read also posts #26 and #61 in this thread *** let me know if this help -- Boot starts with: "setting mode nnn x nnn failed" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67826 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
