[michaelferrie]

Hi all,

upgraded to 13.04 from 12.10 was using the NVIDIA driver, i think i was using the unstable, and this has created some issues with the xorg.conf file andyway here is a phone pic of the error, after i start the pc, and type startx this is what happens?




any ideas how to get X working

cheers

Providing you can log in to a terminal there is a command line interface to Jockey, the utility that installs additional drivers.

Great advice Teunis - back into my GUI now, I decided to document the process in case it didn't work then i could tell you what i did and you could tell me where i went wrong, since it worked here it is anyway - another 1 reply fix for the kubuntu forums, great community we have here - who needs canonical anyway (-:

started PC | command prompt comes up | log in

type (start x)

get errors about the nvidia driver

type (jockey-text --list)

type (sudo apt-get install nvidia-current)

enter sudo password

nvidia drivers appear to download,get matrix of downloading text, prompt appears again

type (sudo reboot)

fixed (-; thanks to the 41 people who looked and thanks for the reply
