I've tried debuggin this, but haven't been very successful -- using 3.0 kernel as a workaround doesn't work anymore. Purging nvidia-drivers (with apt-get purge) resulted largely unusable system: booting with nouveau (with 3.2 kernel) splash screen was corrupted, however I got the drumroll sound but with black screen. 3.2 recovery mode gave me kernel error "EDD Information not available" and the booting was halted.
I tried to downgrade to .33 driver but couldn't find way to do it. I tried manually installing (dpkg -i) nvidia-current- dev_280.13-0ubuntu6.1_amd64.deb which was the latest package before 295.40, but the package had dependency issues and wouldn't install. When installing/uninstalling drivers, jockey would also sometimes complain about failed install so I mainly used apt-get for the job (is there something else jockey does besides listing the options and installing/uninstalling them?) However, I can confirm that my monitor is the source of problems. I was forced to use another monitor at some point, which worked fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/987720 Title: Xorg freeze - black screen after splash screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/987720/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
