Nvidia 9800M gs 64 bit ubuntu 10.04 linux, driver remove on reboot
i have ubuntu 10.04, ive checked additional drivers an install for my graphics card
After install it tells me I need to reboot, After I reboot it as if I never install the graphics card. I decided to do a manual install of my GC card drivers, from nvidias website everything worked great. And its working, after I reboot though I receive an error telling me the if has failed and offers me the option to load minimal graphics. Im very confused because it works fine, until i reboot |
Hi, I had a similar experience with my system and found a kernel module (nouveau) was being loaded before the nVidia driver module.
I found a way to stop this by adding Code:
nokmsboot As well as that I had to edit the xorg.conf file to point to the nVida driver module. I hope this gives you a place to look.... Regards glenn |
9800'M' (for 'm'obile).
You've possibly got some switchable graphics/nvidia optimus setup. What model laptop is it? |

Keep in mind that you have to do that procedure every time the kernel gets updated.
If your problem is solved, please mark this thread as solved using the thread tools at the top of the thread. |
I tried to blacklist the module, but without the nokmsboot cli option it just would not stick.

# blacklisted modules for PCI coldplug Generally I setup xorg with the vesa driver to try and save this confusion, then install the nVidia .run package. How to get a boot command line(?) press F3 or F2 at the grub boot screen (dual boot?)press ESC to go to cli. An area appears where you can type, at the end of the line. see "Chapter 9: Kernel Boot Command-Line Parameter Reference", a free .pdf sample of the book. online html....http://oreilly.com/linux/excerpts/97...reference.html Quote:
