Ladies and gents,
I have been trying to get the new Nvidia driver on my laptop (GT540m) working. Alas every time I try it fails and my desktop will not load. However now I cannot recover.
Current status:
I do not know what else to do. Can anybody please advise. Many thanks
I have been trying to get the new Nvidia driver on my laptop (GT540m) working. Alas every time I try it fails and my desktop will not load. However now I cannot recover.
Current status:
- Desktop background loads at normal resolution but gnome does not load. Hitting any "F" key or arrow key brings up a text list of "starting" proceses.. all OK
- All nvidia packages are removed
- I have deleted my a xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/, it does not return upon reboot.
- Examining the /var/log/Xorg.0.log reveals little to my limited knowledge base, but the nvidia is mentioned here
Code:
(II) Module glx: vendor=NVIDIA Corporation
compliled for 4.0.2, module version 1.0.0
Module class: X.org Server Extension
(II) NVIDIA GLX odule 331.89 ....
Loading extension GLX- The following which should find if my nouveau is blacklisted yields zero results.
Code:
grep nouveau /etc/modprobe.d/*
