I am not sure if this is exactly related to your problems, but maybe it can help other people to get the nvidia driver working with Lucid Lynx Alpha 1, although I am sure that the X.org/Nvidia problem will be solved with one of the next alpha versions.
I have just upgraded to Lucid Lynx Alpha 1. When I try to install nvidia-glx-185, nvidia-glx-173 or nvidia-glx-96 synaptic wants to remove the xserver completely. The installation of nvidia-glx-180 is possible but the driver does not work the next time you reboot. Neither does the nvidia-glx-195 driver form the PPA repository. By the way, my card is a GeForce Go 6200/6400. Same issue when I go to the console, kill gdm and install a freshly downloaded nvidia driver (190 or 195). If then I restart gdm, the nvidia driver is working fine for the time the computer is running. After the next reboot the nvidia driver is not loaded. I have detected a strange workaround. First, I have removed all nvidia related stuff, and all xserver-xorg-video- drivers (including xserver- xorg-video-all), leaving ONLY xserver-xorg-video-nv installed. Then I have switched to the console, killed gdm, and installed the beta driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.22-pkg1.run. From now on, when I start or reboot, there is no gdm. But when I log in, and start gdm manually, the nvidia driver works like a charm every time. -- nv driver crashing with segmentation fault in libpthread.so.0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494627 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
