@ Sitsofe I think you're doing (and have been doing) a good job - you will always have some people overreact or not understand you, however your advice was valid and given in a nice way.
@ Simon We all learn by making mistakes (at the beginning). Actually, we all learn *if* we accept we can make mistake and listen to other's advices without overreacting "you will discourage people from writing bugreports entirely". Launchpad and bug reporting have been new to most of us at the beginning. At the time, we also had our "Sitsofe" helping us like he just helped you, and thanks to them we have learnt to use it better - that's why you too have been able to find helpful and relevant information here. To summarize what you can do if you happen to be in the same situation again : open a new bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug and fill it will all the information you got, then you can write a nice comment here "I've got a different problem but it might be related, could you please see <add here a link towards your bug report> and tell me if it's a duplicate?". Then edit your bug description with a link to this bug, explaining that it could be related to it. This way you don't just get help, you also will _provide_ help for the ones with the same problem you have (many people might be affected by the bug you encounter), because it would be hard for them to find the solution hidden in a bug concerning another problem :) ** Summary changed: - [nvidia-glx] X is blank after upgrade (laptop/Geforce Go) + [nvidia-glx] X is blank after upgrade (laptop/Geforce Go) without "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP" ** Description changed: + Binary package hint: nvidia-glx + I have a Dell Latitude C840 with an nVidia graphics card (and the nVidia driver). I upgraded from Edgy to Feisty just yesterday (28 Jan 2007). A few minor problems with the upgrade came up and it seems like I managed to fix them OK. I rebooted and found that my X terminal is completely blank. I got the login-ready-sound and thought I would go on and enter my login name and password, then the harddrive started working and the login- sound sounded. Everything seem to work fine except I can't see a thing. - On Edgy I had beryl installed after a few unsuccessful attempts (also - tried compiz). I had it working well though. Perhaps this had something - to do with it. + Adding + Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP" + to the Screen section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf solves the problem -- [nvidia-glx] Using nvidia-glx driver, X is blank after install or upgrade (laptop/Geforce Go) without option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/82312 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
