Bug Description
Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-new
Unable to load nVidia driver, running Gutsy and kernel 2.6.20-15-generic
I have checked this bugreport
https:/
Restricted Manager installs nvidia-glx,ver 9631.....
It also installs 2.6.20-15-386 ???
Manually installed nvidia-glx-new, fails to load driver.
RM must be a real mess. ! Maybe its better to send out a patch block
for all users.
Manual installs also fails to load nVidia.
I always follows this procedure
sudo nano /etc/default/
DISABLED_
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-
sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx nvidia-settings nvidia-
sudo rm /etc/init.
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
sudo sh NVIDIA-
sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
Well... the same occurs with kernel 2.6.22-3
Can you please tell us if Gutsys kernels includes a blocking mechanism ?
They were removed during Feistys development. I am not going to run
Gutsy if developers chooses the GNU way against nVidia.
Restricted Manager is a mess.....
So "bless this mess"....;)
