Right. After the few months I've been chased by this bug, the KDE forums were of great help to finding a solution;
Edit boot options and add "xforcevesa" to it. This will start Ubuntu in low graphics mode, which is carried across to the installation. The new driver is a bit of lost cause here, but the VESA driver will see you through. I'm unsure about what information I could provide here for this bug; but I would ask for a stopgap measure; that the VESA driver is called for if my model graphics card is detected. -- Nouveau in Ubuntu does not work on NVIDIA GeForce 8200M https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/605414 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
