Re: Geforce 750ti, AMD A10 APU
When I initially installed 64-bit 14.04.1 with GTX 750 Ti, I used nomodeset boot option for live/install and that worked fine. To do that press any key when booting live/install and you see purple screen with keyboard mouse icons at bottom, select your language, then press F6 and use space bar to select nomodeset, then Esc back to boot menu.
But when I booted the installed system I don't think I could even get to gui login, and when I tried to log into a text console it would display the motd for an instant and immediately went back to login prompt. And nvidia-current did not support that new card. So I would suggest booting to recovery, enable networking, wait if that does not seem to return right away, then go to a root console from that menu. Then assuming it is a fresh install or you purged any other nvidia drivers (you don't need to use sudo from root console like you normally would elsewhere):
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get install nvidia-331-updates
PS: For anyone with a laptop looking at this I heard that nomodeset does not work for hybrid Intel/Nvidia graphics. So when I recently installed 64-bit 14.04.1 to mSATA SSD on laptop in my sig, I did not use that, but installed the same nvidia-331-updates. And that works fine
