apport information ** Tags added: natty ubuntu
** Description changed: I installed a fresh Ubuntu 10.10 and installed the proprietary driver (nvidia-current) suggested by the system. Upon reboot it fails while starting GDM, leaving me with a blinking cursor in tty7. I'm able to jump to tty1 and log in. The cause is that installing said driver (naturally) changes the driver in xorg.conf to "nvidia", as should. But since this module fails, X fails and GDM fails. The relevant lines from dmesg are: [ 392.594219] NVRM: failed to copy vbios to system memory. [ 392.596521] NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed!

[ 22.943] Fatal server error: [ 22.943] no screens found To patch it up I simply use "Intel" as a fall back driver on the first 'device' in the xorg.conf. Doing so I'm able to start X and GDM. I've tried installing both Ubuntu's and Nvidia's own drivers (256 and 260). I've reproduced this on two fresh installs of 10.10 on the same machine, and many times over on the latest install. --- .proc.driver.nvidia.version: NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 260.19.06 Mon Sep 13 04:29:19 PDT 2010 GCC version: gcc version 4.4.5 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.4.4-14ubuntu5) Architecture: amd64 DRM.card0.LVDS.1: status: connected enabled: enabled dpms: On modes: 1366x768 edid-base64: AP///////wAiZLYE+mUAABwUAQOAGw94CmhFl1pSjCcZUFQAAAABAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBFhxWeFAAJjAwQmgADpYQAAAZAAAA/gAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/ABIU0QxMjFQSFcxCiAgAAAAEAAKICAgICAgICAgICAgANk= DRM.card0.VGA.1: status: disconnected enabled: disabled dpms: On modes: edid-base64: DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 DkmsStatus: virtualbox-ose, 3.2.8, 2.6.35-22-generic, x86_64: installed nvidia-current, 260.19.06, 2.6.35-22-generic, x86_64: installed bcmwl, 5.60.48.36+bdcom, 2.6.35-22-generic, x86_64: installed InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release amd64 (20101007) MachineType: ASUSTeK Computer INC. 1215N NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia wl Package: nvidia-graphics-drivers (not installed) ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic root=UUID=120b1e0c-cb3d-4f03-aec6-ec16b65b0fb4 ro quiet splash ProcEnviron: LANG=en_DK.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-22.35-generic 2.6.35.4 Tags: maverick maverick possible-manual-nvidia-install Uname: Linux 2.6.35-22-generic x86_64 UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare dmi.bios.date: 09/07/2010 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 0503 dmi.board.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.board.name: 1215N dmi.board.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC. dmi.board.version: x.xx dmi.chassis.asset.tag: 0x00000000 dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC. dmi.chassis.version: x.x dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr0503:bd09/07/2010:svnASUSTeKComputerINC.:pn1215N:pvrx.x:rvnASUSTeKComputerINC.:rn1215N:rvrx.xx:cvnASUSTeKComputerINC.:ct10:cvrx.x: dmi.product.name: 1215N dmi.product.version: x.x dmi.sys.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC. nvidia-settings: system: distro: Ubuntu codename: maverick architecture: x86_64 kernel: 2.6.35-22-generic + + --- + .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.0: Error: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0' + .proc.driver.nvidia.registry: Binary: "" + .proc.driver.nvidia.version: + NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 270.41.06 Mon Apr 18 14:53:56 PDT 2011 + GCC version: gcc version 4.5.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu4) + Architecture: amd64 + CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' + CompositorRunning: None + DRM.card0.LVDS.1: + status: connected + enabled: enabled + dpms: On + modes: 1366x768 + edid-base64: AP///////wAiZLYE+mUAABwUAQOAGw94CmhFl1pSjCcZUFQAAAABAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBFhxWeFAAJjAwQmgADpYQAAAZAAAA/gAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/ABIU0QxMjFQSFcxCiAgAAAAEAAKICAgICAgICAgICAgANk= + DRM.card0.VGA.1: + status: disconnected + enabled: disabled + dpms: Off + modes: + edid-base64: + DistUpgraded: Fresh install + DistroCodename: natty + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 + DistroVariant: ubuntu + DkmsStatus: + bcmwl, 5.100.82.38+bdcom, 2.6.38-8-generic, x86_64: installed + nvidia-current, 270.41.06, 2.6.38-8-generic, x86_64: installed + GraphicsCard: + Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:a001] (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) + Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
