Tried with Linux Mint 13 (Cinnamon 64-bit) Live DVD on USB and faced the exactly same situation - Coloured noise on NVidia - All well on integrated Intel graphics (G33)
Not suprising I guess seeing how Mint 13 is directly derived from Precise. To try something else, I installed Linux Mint 13 (Cinnamon 64-bit) to another large USB and booted from it (using the Intel graphics). I then followed the instructions I'd written earlier for installing the proprietary NVidia drivers ([URL="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1665630"]link[/URL]) with some minor tweaks. Now posting this from Linux Mint 13 (Cinnamon 64-bit) running off the larger USB and with the NVidia graphics running fine!! :) Long story short, the same should work on Precise as well, will give it a shot when I have some time and report... But Cinnamon is such a blessing (over Unity) that I'm tempted... :P -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993907 Title: [nvidia GT 240] no desktop after X started To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/993907/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
