Public bug reported: The display driver for my Nvidia G-Force 5200 is not compatible with the original driver that was installed and I had no display on neither 14.04 nor 16.4. I did SSH to my server and run these commands to install a new Nvdia driver in order to have display on the server:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade # install the latest version $ sudo apt-get install nvidia-current And restart the server. ** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1572275 Title: on Ubuntu server 16.04 and 14.04, the display stops working after installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1572275/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
