Joseph, yes every time was a indeed a fresh install. I never attempted to disable the NVidia card in the BIOS. I did however, attempt the opposite, enabling optimus and using the nouveau drivers. People suggested they had luck with that, however I remember not succeeding.
Currently, I am working with 12.04. My current solution has to been to stay booted once I boot successfully... I've noticed higher success with the following setup: 1) nomodeset - once when Nvidia's drivers are unused (during a kernel upgrade for example). It's important that I remove this once the drivers are compiled and installed for the new kernel otherwise I do not boot. 2) Empty boot lines for the kernel, in other words removing "quiet splash". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1083738 Title: Booting Trouble With Lenovo T520 (NVS 4200M) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1083738/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
