I'm a windows user and installing Ubuntu 10.10 for the first time
my laptop is sony VPCCW21FX
using windows 7 64 bit
and using wubi to install Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit alongside with windows
- i didn't see the installation process cause of the blank screen issue, so I did as you suggest here
- Deleted quiet splash and typed nomodeset single, then startx
- Then I downloaded the driver from Nvidia website which is 256.53.run
- Then I restarted the machine and the same process as before, and then installed the driver with the next two lines
sudo chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86.......run
then
sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86.........run
and kept pressing yes till I finished the installation
then typed startx
I saw the NVIDIA display then the ubuntu started but I didn't see the boot display
and inside the SYSTEM>ADMIN> menu there's no NVIDIA
and I keep got the message about the restricted driver, and the nvidia driver is not activated, but I can see that the graphic performance has been changed and I can set the visual effects to extra in appearence menu !!!!!!!
and if I choosed to log off, the screen became blank
and every time I shut down or restart I have to do the , nomodeset single and the startx command
can anyone help me
