hi Nixblicker easy to answer:
producer-info: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display- ia32-96.43.23-driver.html Has NO support for XOrg-Server ABI 1.13 (which is the latest (lts- quantal)). Read also comment #155 in this bugreport > What would you experts suggest? This is not a help Forum - it's for bugreporting. It's focusized on bugreporting and fixing. Join in the discussion on the Nvidia-support forums. I'm not an expert... :-) But it's time to make some thoughts about getting newer HW, i.e. The Nvidia 6200 (new or used), which fits in a AGP-slot is supported by the legacy driver 304. There is also a GT610 for the PCI-slot - but is worth to invest money in a energy consuming oldie? Or stick with 12.04 LTS with 5 Years of support - enjoy the bug- and security fixes – +save some money over the time - take it when the LTS support ends and build yourself a newer system. Carefully selecting the components as the mobo. Which preferably has a multicore CPU to fit in & make a 64-bit version installable... AND a PCI-e slot for the graphics- card. So you could make some use of VDPAU or even CUDA (if needed). If u have some $$$ left, add a SSD ;_) Every hardware has it's breakpoint (in terms of EOL of producers- support). AND YES it's great to have this supported in 12.04.2 – Thanks to the dev's! Glad to see that Ubuntu is innovative. -- 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-173 and nvidia-96 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
