apt-get update && apt-get install nvidia-kernel-source nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-glx nvidia-settings


You can also have the latest by using experimental repo


apt-get update && apt-get install -t experimental nvidia-kernel-source nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-glx nvidia-settings


From there, you can either purge or blacklist the nouveau driver as root


echo blacklist nouveau > /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf


and reboot, or


apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

The script detects what is in use, removes all existing Nouveau drivers and gives you a choice on which version of Nvidia driver to install. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Ubuntu-1204-freeze-on-startup-27830936 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 11:06:37 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Ubuntu-1204-freeze-on-startup-27830743
Last week someone suggested I run a memtest. From the grub menu I got an error. They then suggested that I remove, one at a time, my ram sticks (I have 2, 1GB sticks) and reboot. With all 3 scenarios (both sticks in place and each one removed) I got the same memtest error from grub. Later on I noticed that gparted has a memtest as one of its opening options so I ran it for 2 passes and both completed with no errors. By the way there is a known bug in grub as well as a patch.

The upside to all of the tinkering with the memory sticks is I have had no freezes/crashes! Seems that just re-seating those 2 sticks has cured what ailed my computer.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Ubuntu-1204-freeze-on-startup-27830743 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 10:37:19 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Ubuntu-1204-freeze-on-startup-27793314 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Ubuntu-1204-freeze-on-startup-27793314 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 08:29:04 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Ubuntu-1204-freeze-on-startup-27792199 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Ubuntu-1204-freeze-on-startup-27792199 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 19:41:27 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Ubuntu-1204-freeze-on-startup-27792070 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Ubuntu-1204-freeze-on-startup-27792070 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 19:11:20 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Ubuntu-1204-freeze-on-startup-27783397 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Ubuntu-1204-freeze-on-startup-27783397 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 12:36:13 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Ubuntu-1204-freeze-on-startup-27783192
BTW, do I uninstall the Neauveau drivers?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Ubuntu-1204-freeze-on-startup-27783192 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 11:43:34 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Ubuntu-1204-freeze-on-startup-27783149 Tried to update nVidia drivers, now Unity is broken..
Instead open up System Settings->Additional Drivers. Choose the most recent drivers. The one that will be labeled "Recommended" won't be the latest. Pick whichever you feel the most comfortable with. I use the latest without issue.
The proprietary option at install time install Flash and multimedia codecs, but not proprietary modules for your hardware. That is done post-install.

I shutdown my desktop every night. Without exception I get freezes or am dropped into terminal which then freezes immediately following login. This happens for the first 2 or 3 attempts after which I get a normal boot and an uneventful session.

When I'm dropped into terminal or non-graphical mode I see a lot of output but I see one line that refers to kernel panic. I looked at kernel.log for the first time yesterday and I see the term "abort" appears around lines referring to the Nouveau driver. I have a Nvidia graphics card. When I did the Ubuntu install I ticked the Install Proprietary Drivers so I was surprised that they aren't installed.

I've already downloaded but not installed my specific Nvidia drivers. Can the Nouveau and Nvidia drivers co-exist? If not do you think I will run into problems if I install the Nvidia drivers and then purge the Nouveau?

BTW, this issue is more of a nuisance than anything but the 2 to 3 hard shutdowns can't be good for the system.

Thanks in advance.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Ubuntu-1204-freeze-on-startup-27783122 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 11:27:09 EDT
