Kubuntu run (boot) only in recovery mode

[Guest]

Hi all!

I just bought new lapotop its

ASUS N55SF SX398VS8
Intel Core i5 2,4 GHz
8 GB DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M

I tried to install kubuntu and i managed to do it only with additional option

acpi=off

But event after installation i just can't boot kubuntu normally i have black screen and nothing happen (it looks like screen just trun off). When I boot in recovery mode it is working...
Can someone help with it i can't work on windows (:lol.

Have you, from the recovery mode, already done a full update?
Have you installed the proprietary drivers for nVidia?

When i try to do full update it stuck in about 50%
When I go to hardware proprietary drivers i have nothing there.

UPDATE:

Ok so now I manage to run kubuntu normally by

sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

But when i try to make

sudo nvidia-xconfig

after reboot it stops on terminal.

I have only one additional nvidia driver in

System > Additional Drivers

called

NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (current version)

marked with green dot as used. But when I go to

System > NVIDIA X Server Settings

I get message

You dont appear to be using NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (run nvidia-xconfig as root) and restart x server

but it just doesn't work...

Because Muon has a bug that stops the upgrade around 50% I assume thats what you used?
Either install synaptic for it or do the upgrade from the CLI, cut and paste this command in the Konsole:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

As you have already done part of the upgrade a continuation will start where it previously hung.

There should never be a need to download, install and configure the nVidia drivers from the Command Line, for installing you use the 'Extra drivers' program also know as jockey-kde.
For configuring there is a program called 'NVIDIA X Server Settings' or nvidia-settings.
