Hi hussiniraq.

Did you upgrade from an Nvidia card to a new one of the same brand? or your previous card was something different?

Try this:

Backup your configuration file:

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old
Then recreate the file:

sudo nvidia-xconfig
Then restart your machine to see if it is fixed.

If that doesn't fix it, you could install the latest nVidia driver as I have: 295.33.
I have a Geforce 9800GT.

I created this thread after I installed the driver. It has a link on how to install the driver and another one to a HOWTO
in this forum for installing the new driver into a new kernel when one gets installed.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1948062 (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1948062)

On the how to install the driver, you'll want to print out step 4 through 8 and enter telinit 3 before logging in at step 6.

When a new kernel is about to be installed you will want to enter
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
and
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Then you can watch for the word "success" when the kernel is installed.

This a better way to get your update any way. Better than Update Mangler.

It seems a bit daunting but, it should go OK if you follow the instructions.

EDIT: The latest driver is 295.40 which was added 2012.04.11. I am going to install that myself.

no

I just upgraded my driver to 295.40.
It gets easier once you have done it a few times. Now I will fix the other kernel as I mentioned in the 2nd post of that thread.

Just be sure to wait after you enter telinit 3 as it takes a few seconds and then enter login.

[Cavsfan]

Edit: Make sure you add the script in the HOWTO: Automatically update manually installed NVidia drivers after kernel updates
Before you attempt the stuff below!

Also I have a text (gedit) document called kernel cmds with all of my kernels listed like this.
I keep only the last 2.


sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-2.6.32-39 linux-headers-2.6.32-39-generic linux-image-2.6.32-39-generic - deleted
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.32-39 linux-headers-2.6.32-39-generic linux-image-2.6.32-39-generic

sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-2.6.32-40 linux-headers-2.6.32-40-generic linux-image-2.6.32-40-generic
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.32-40 linux-headers-2.6.32-40-generic linux-image-2.6.32-40-generic

sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-2.6.32-41 linux-headers-2.6.32-41-generic linux-image-2.6.32-41-generic
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.32-41 linux-headers-2.6.32-41-generic linux-image-2.6.32-41-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic


Had to also install linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic after removing the latest kernel as it was removed when purged
EDIT: This is to install the driver into the 2 kernels I have. The most recently installed kernel will be the one that is used at bootup, not the highest numbered one.
So, I have to remove and install 40 and then 41, so 41 is the current one.
Note that there are 2 additional files removed when you purge the current one, so make sure you install them after removing them.

[Cavsfan]

After you have installed the script update-nvidia as mentioned above, you can
remove and re-install 1st the oldest kernel and then the newest kernel both before rebooting.

Then in the future you will just have to remove and replace the driver and update-nvidia files in /usr/src/
when you add a new driver.

Good! Just make sure you read all the above comments. You should be good to go. I just updated the driver and my 2 kernels.

[Cavsfan]

You must spell the driver exactly as it is with capitals and everything or else it won't work as above.

If you went by those instructions, there was no need to restart.
When you enter sudo service gdm start- step 8, it takes you to the login screen.

Here is what you were supposed to do:
1) Download Newest Nvidia drivers from here. (http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us)
2) Open module blacklist as admin

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Add these lines and save:

blacklist vga16fb
blacklist nouveau
blacklist rivafb
blacklist nvidiafb
blacklist rivatv

3) Uninstall any previously installed Nvidia drivers:

sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-*

4) Reboot your computer

5) When an error message pops up saying that Ubuntu cannot load Nvidia drivers, choose Exit to terminal (Exit to console)
(or if you have done this before and just want to install a newer driver, go into recovery mode and select exit to console)

6) Enter this to stop the x server and wait a minute or so for it to work:

telinit 3
6) Login and cd to the directory where you saved your file

7)Install drivers


sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.40.run
You will be asked several questions and you want to answer "yes" for each one.
(use the tab key to move the selection)

8 ) Start GDM

sudo service gdm start

You will be taken to your normal login screen. Mission accomplished.

Then make sure you perform the steps in
HOWTO: Automatically update manually installed NVidia drivers after kernel updates.

If you have done this before, you will just need to start at step 4.

I cannot read very much of that screenshot. Maybe you need to do a clean install of Ubuntu.
That would be my choice if you cannot accomplish the steps mentioned.

Will re-install it again, but if the definition of new graphics card will be a problem due Aiza What solution do you think

Whatever nVidia card you have should not be a problem unless you are installing an older beta version of Ubuntu.

Not sure what you are asking.
It asks you when you download the driver and you should select from Linux 32 bit or Linux 64 bit.

The "_64" denotes it is the 64 bit version.

It depends on your machine.

How do I know that two or system that you install is 64 or 32

In a terminal enter

getconf LONG_BITIt will return 32 or 64.
