Today's updates (for Sat 19.march.2011) fixed a lot of things. I did: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get -y upgrade $ sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade
I can now login and boot into the Unity desktop. $ find /lib/modules/ -type f -ls -iname '*.ko' | grep -E "/nvidia-current.ko|/nvidia-173.ko|/nvidia-96.ko|/fglrx.ko" 921607 13248 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13562440 Mar 19 11:18 /lib/modules/2.6.38-7-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia-current.ko $ grep -E "LoadModule:.*\"nvidia|fglrx\"" /var/log/Xorg.0.log [ 23.586] (II) LoadModule: "nvidia" However the Unity-desktop is very unstable. Sometimes windows' titlebar/border disappears. This command brings it back $ compiz --replace & ALT+TAB freezes the desktop. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/737755 Title: Natty: Cannot boot with proprietary NVIDIA driver for GeForce 8800 GT. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
