Hi, Just for "fun" I did a clean install of 12.04. Did updates then went through the precise proposed steps again.
I didn't get the crash, but again am stuck in 640x480. Uninstalling both nvidia-173 and nvidia-173-updates brings me back to 1024x768. lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500] (rev a1) uname -r 3.2.0-26-generic-pae lsmod | grep nvidia nvidia 7098356 24 dpkg -l | grep nvidiaii nvidia-173 173.14.35-0ubuntu0.1 NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library rc nvidia-173-updates 173.14.35-0ubuntu0.1 NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library ii nvidia-common 1:0.2.44 Find obsolete NVIDIA drivers ii nvidia-settings 295.33-0ubuntu1 Tool of configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver ii nvidia-settings-updates 295.33-0ubuntu1 Tool of configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver Maybe it's just me. ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/948053 Title: nvidia-96 and nvidia-173 uninstallable on Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nvidia-drivers-ubuntu/+bug/948053/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
