Title:
X totally broken on 10.04 install & upgrade
Status in “nvidia-settings” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: nvidia-settings
When attempting to do new install of 10.04 or an upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04,
X is broken. The display is just a series of black and white lines. My video
card is nVidia GeForce2 MX / MX400. Had no problems whatsoever with previous
OS's. If I boot into recovery mode and attempt to run failsafe xconfig I just
get a black screen.
I have partially resolved this by changing the xorg.config.failsafe to "vesa"
rather than the default; I can then run in low res graphics mode. HOWEVER if I
then download nVidias proprietrary drivers and run nvidia-config this appears
to write an xorg.config file "default" and when I reboot I still have no
display.
So at present after several days of downloads and meddling around in config
files, I am left with the choice of booting into recovery mode and running in
low res graphics or going back to 9.xx and having a working system.
Must say I am extremely disappointed with 10.04 - it feels as though I am
back in my early days of Red Hat 3 when I had to learn to tweak every bit of
the system. As a relatively old man now I feel that this is no longer an "out
of the box" system as earlier Ubuntu releases were and is very much a
retrograde step. If I had been a Windows user trying to migrate to Linux this
would have put me off for life. 0/10 !!!!!
