Something's working - I installed Karmic beta from disk, but before doing the reboot I added Steve's .ppa to my repository, downloaded and
sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-nv_2.1.14-2ubuntu4_amd64.deb I rebooted sans CD and it came up fine. I rebooted again, still fine. I installed synaptic and looked at what was installed, it wasn't version 4, but version 3 (the old, non-working one I thought)! I don't understand, I could see version 4 staying in effect for one reboot (then apparently getting replaced by the old one), but, it wouldn't happen only on the 2nd time . Ie, it doesn't look like the new .ubuntu4 .deb is in effect, yet it's working. I'm in the midst of updating, I've got the ...ubuntu4 .deb handy just in case for the next reboot, I'm not sure what happened but overall something's right. Let me know what you need as proof that it's working (and proof that that was the problem, maybe). -- karmic alpha 4's xorg 'nv' driver does not handle Nvidia 8200 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/413439 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
