Hi,
lspci | grep VGA gives me output: Nvidia Corporation NV17GL [Quadro NVS] (rev a3)
I have updated software via "Software updater", ran commands
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and restarted PC
so I tried to install drivers with
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
after rebooting and in grub choosing Ubuntu (dual boot), first I see purple Ubuntu loading screen but after that screen turns black and stays like that.
I tried to access Ubuntu with nomodeset option (maybe I'm doing it wrong so i will type my procedure): in grub pressed 'e' and in Linux boot part "...quiet splash $v..." added "...quiet splash nomodeset $v..." and then Ctrl+x to once boot with those options
($v... is some command I dont remember but is with some shell variable)
Even with "nomodeset" (if I did it right) screen stays black on that boot.
Now I have reinstalled Ubuntu and updated software and don't know how to properly install drivers without getting again black screen so how to do it properly?
Thank You in advance!
edit: I tried it again with nvidia-current-updates and after that update and then sudo nvidia-xconfig. Also i edited grub boot file where i replaced quiet splash with nomodeset, but even after all that I have black screen
