To clarify/summarize: When upgrading directly from 8.04 to 9.10 (Kubuntu Karmic Upgrader), the following minimal change can be made to prevent the nvidia binary driver from failing to load:
1. edit the lrm-video file: sudo nano -w /etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video 2. comment out the following line with a hash mark: #install nvidia /sbin/lrm-video nvidia $CMDLINE_OPTS 3. reboot, or restart the X server Note for KDE4 users: when the nvidia driver is working again, your screen resolution may increase on login, then decrease again, making your panel inaccessible (my panel is set to autohide). Create a new panel, add a system tray widget to it, then run krandrtray. Now use krandrtray to increase your screen resolution to maximum, and the panel should reappear. -- nvidia drivers don't work due to -Q in obsolete /etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/467490 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
