Public bug reported: After experiencing display errors with 352 (default at install), I used additional drivers to test the 340 driver.
After reboot, the screen resolution was maximum 800 x 600. After reverting back to 352, remained at 800 x 600. Normal/expected screen resolution is 2560 x 1600. Running sudo nvidia-xconfig made no difference. Running gksudo nvidia-settings presented and unrecognizable nivida- settngs screen. Copying a working xorg.conf file from another dist on this computer changed the resolution to 1280 × 960 ljohnson@KISE-005:~/Desktop$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 15.10 Release: 15.10 ljohnson@KISE-005:~/Desktop$ apt-cache policy software-properties-gtk software-properties-gtk: Installed: 0.96.13 Candidate: 0.96.13 Version table: *** 0.96.13 0 500 http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu/ wily/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10 Package: software-properties-gtk 0.96.13 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.19.0-25.26-generic 3.19.8-ckt2 Uname: Linux 3.19.0-25-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Wed Nov 4 13:13:58 2015 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-06-15 (141 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 15.04 "Vivid Vervet" - Release amd64 (20150422.1) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: software-properties UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to wily on 2015-10-22 (13 days ago) ** Affects: software-properties (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug nvidia wily -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1513229 Title: additional drivers fails to properly install nvidia driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1513229/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
