The Problems. You installed Ubuntu on a computer with NVIDIA graphics card, but Compiz is not turned on in Unity. You installed NVIDIA drivers and now you have no desktop or X windows. You installed the drivers from NVIDIA’s website and you have no desktop or X windows. Solution Almost everyone who has a NVIDIA graphics card is afraid when Ubuntu updates or the driver updates. Because, you never know if the install or update will screw up your setup leaving you with no Compiz or even worse, no X windows! There are tons of solutions for these problems online.

Below is the solution which works for me consistently. Step 1: Remove NVIDIA drivers After booting, if you are seeing a blank display then try pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1, this should give you a terminal login. The first step is to remove any or all of the NVIDIA drivers installed on the computer. They should not just be uninstalled, but every shred of their prior existence must be eradicated. Purge, not just remove, all installed NVIDIA packages: $ sudo apt-get purge nvidia-. If you had installed a NVIDIA driver from their website, uninstall it using the shell script that it ships with.

Already deleted that file? Try with a newer version of driver that you can download. You may still have some NVIDIA modules stuck in the kernel. First list the kernel modules: $ dkms status The output is of this form: nvidia-current-updates, 304.64, 3.2.0-37-generic, x8664: installed Here nvidia-current-updates is the module name, 304.64 is the module version and 3.2.0-37-generic is the kernel version. Remove all the nvidia modules.

For example, to remove the above: $ sudo dkms remove nvidia-current-updates/304.64 -k 3.2.0-37-generic Step 2: Install NVIDIA drivers Now install back the drivers. I highly recommend staying away from the drivers on NVIDIA’s website.

For drivers that have been tested and packaged by Ubuntu volunteers, you have two options: current and current-updates. Current is what was well tested and shipped with the Ubuntu version you are using.

It may be pretty old. Current-updates is a package that is drawn from NVIDIA’s releases, but is tested and packaged by Ubuntu.

This is pretty safe. Depending on what you pick, the install is familiar: $ sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-updates nvidia-settings-updates I hope your NVIDIA drivers are working with your Ubuntu now. If not, I hope the wide web holds a solution to your problem.

Tried with: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Hi all, I am using 12.3 KDE and had a few problems with the nouveau graphics driver: kwin would crash when I shut down the PC and a few other annoyances. I decided to try out the legacy nvidia driver (via the one click install), this PC has a Quadro NVS 285 adapter, but that it is not working well- the nouveau driver was better!There is a known problem on openSUSE 12.3 with the nvidia driver: Have you added your user to the 'video' group? That may very well make the nvidia driver work better for you.

(even better than nouveau! Hi, Thanks for the replies and advice.

I added myself to the video group and rebooted, but I can't see any difference in the nvidia driver's performance- it seems a bit twitchy, nouveau was really stable and predictable. Open YaST-Software Management, type 'nvidia' in the searchbox and uninstall the 3 packages that are installed.

When I type nvidia in Yast2 I get the following as installed (I don't find yast intuitive): nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default (NVIDIA graphics driver kernel module) libdrmnouveau2 (Userspace interface for Kernel DRM) nvidia-gfx-kmp-default (NVIDIA graphics driver kernel module) x11-video-nvidia (NVIDIA graphics driver for GeForce4 GPUs) xf86-video-nv (NVIDIA video driver for the Xorg X) xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau Do I get rid of all the ones that Yast2 marks as 'NVIDIA'? Thanks again for any help. When I type nvidia in Yast2 I get the following as installed (I don't find yast intuitive): nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default (NVIDIA graphics driver kernel module) libdrmnouveau2 (Userspace interface for Kernel DRM) nvidia-gfx-kmp-default (NVIDIA graphics driver kernel module) x11-video-nvidia (NVIDIA graphics driver for GeForce4 GPUs) xf86-video-nv (NVIDIA video driver for the Xorg X) xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau Do I get rid of all the ones that Yast2 marks as 'NVIDIA'?It seems something went wrong with your driver installation!

This is the oldest legacy driver still usable on openSUSE and is for GeForce4 cards about 10 years old. (it does not support your Quadro NVS 285 card) So you haven't been using the nvidia driver at all. No wonder you found the nouveau driver better! Since you said you find YaST unintuitive, please type the following in a terminal window. I wonder if there is a method to switch nouveau or nvidia on boot, without uninstalling anything. I might use this on the occasions I want to play with the flight simulator.If you remove the blacklisting of the 'nouveau' kernel module (the installer creates a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ for this with the content 'blacklist nouveau'), then on boot the 'nouveau' module would be loaded. This in turn would make X use the nouveau driver, since the nvidia driver would fail to load.

Find MAC address. Before finding MAC address we need to know a MAC address is the equivalent to the serial number of a network card. Each MAC address is unique, and so identifies the network card you have installed in your computer. Finding MAC address is not difficult as you imagine. With CCGetMAC, you can get.

(only if you have no xorg.conf of course; if you do have, X would fail to start because it can't load the specified driver.) So you could then switch between between nvidia and nouveau by specifying the kernel parameter 'nomodeset' (for nvidia) or not (nouveau). Disclaimer: I have not tested this. But it should work (in theory).

If you are still unsatisfied then, you can uninstall it again with: Code: - sudo zypper rm nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop x11-video-nvidiaG02 nvidia-computeG02 - Just brief note: If his card is supported by the look at the nvidia 310-44 G03 versions. They work fine on my older 8400GS card. They are available in the Nvidia repo.

At least 64 bit is, not sure about 32 bit. Wolfi323, well done!

I had no idea I was using the wrong nvidia driver. I have installed the one you suggested and it works really well, it's noticeably slicker than nouveau (taking nothing away from the wonderful nouveau developers). I also noticed, when you mentioned the kernel type, that I had the default kernel installed (and the default-devel package). For some reason, the 12.3 install scripts chose the default over the desktop version of the kernel- so I selected the nvidia driver for desktop, removed the ancient nvidia driver and Yast changed the kernel over to 'desktop' - which is good. When I try to remove kernel-default and kernel-default-devel, Yast wants to remove the kernel-firmware package??

That doesn't sound like a good idea? Is it ok to lose the firmware package? Thanks for any advice.
