Hi MAFoElffen, I'm back.
To briefly get you up to speed, my situation has changed a little. Two weeks or so ago, you where helping me with a Mythbuntu 11.04 install that I had issues getting the Nvidia driver and my Princeton EO500 (antique) monitor working. I pulled a disk image and saved that working installation.
As you are aware, Mythbuntu (Ubuntu) 11.10 has released and I tried installing a fresh Mythbuntu iso image to the same computer. I got a screen of unreadable characters, but that's okay as I can ssh into that machine.
I have been reading through the posts that followed mine (from two weeks ago) followed post 727 and did:
Code:
sudo update
sudo nvidia-installer --uninstall
sudo apt-get remove nvidia-*
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
sudo nvidia-xconfig
sudo service lightdm start
Now, the only way I can ssh into the machine is to select the recovery kernel in grub. This hinders my testing. Oh yes, and I am still getting a screen full of unreadable characters.
So, being the newbie that I am and not wanting to confuse what you helped me with before (11.04 version) I need your help once again, now with v11.10.
BTW, I have blacklisted the nouveau drivers and created a /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-kms.conf file.
One of the posts mentioned that nvidia-current is now Nvidia driver 2.85.05.09 so, I figured that that would be the simple solution . . . guess not!!
Please tell me what files you would like to see and I'll post them. Thanks in advance
