[08:15] <lordievader> Good morning.
[12:58] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[17:01] <ryilefer> Guys..tried to update nvidia..running 15.10..now I cnat even login.. It says "the system is running in low graphics mode"
[17:07] <trism> ryilefer: ctrl+alt+f2 to a tty, login and check you have the linux headers for your kernel: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r); then check: dkms status; to see if the module is installed for your kernel
[17:11] <ryilefer> @trism: on it
[17:15] <ryilefer> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed ,0 to remove and 18 not upgraded
[17:17] <trism> ryilefer: what about the dkms status line for your kernel? does it say Installed?
[17:17] <ryilefer> trism: how do I check the dkms status??
[17:18] <trism> ryilefer: just type: dkms status;
[17:18] <ryilefer> Installed
[17:19] <ryilefer> Do in type the output?
[17:19] <ryilefer> I*
[17:21] <trism> ryilefer: if you have/can install pastebinit it would be interesting to see: dkms status | pastebinit; but if it really is installed you'll have to check dmesg to see if it tried to load the nvidia module and failed for some reason
[17:22] <ryilefer> trism: http://imgur.com/VHS3hLi
[17:24] <ryilefer> or http://paste.ubuntu.com/11800223/
[17:24] <trism> ryilefer: uname -r; was a command not your username, is the output of uname -r; 3.19.0-22-generic?
[17:24] <trism> ryilefer: the screenshot was fine
[17:25] <trism> ryilefer: the output looks fine, which nvidia card do you have?
[17:25] <ryilefer> 720M
[17:27] <ryilefer> And yes, Linux-headers-3.19.0-22-generic is already the newest version
[17:27] <ryilefer> That's the output.. After cornering (uname -r)
[17:27] <ryilefer> Correcting*
[17:28] <trism> ryilefer: do you see any nvidia lines in the output of: dmesg; ?
[17:29] <ryilefer> trism: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11800295/
[17:35] <trism> ryilefer: seems to be not loading because that driver version dropped support for your card, although i can't remember where the support list page is on the nvidia site
[17:35] <trism> ryilefer: not sure which nvidia versions are available in wily
[17:35] <ryilefer> :(
[17:35] <trism> ryilefer: seems kind of strange, I didn't think the 720m was that old
[17:36] <ryilefer> 3-4 years
[17:36] <ryilefer> Probably
[17:37] <ryilefer> Geforce 720M
[17:40] <ryilefer> trism: http://imgur.com/3QtTMSB
[17:43] <trism> ryilefer: actually, I think the problem is you are using too old a nvidia version
[17:44] <trism> ryilefer: you are on 304.125 but I see the 720m in the latest version
[17:44] <ryilefer> Ah...anything I can do?
[17:45] <ryilefer> trism: I followed some YouTube tutorial to update the driver...biggest mistake..
[17:46] <trism> ryilefer: try: sudo apt-get purge nvidia-304; then: sudo apt-get install nvidia-346;
[17:46] <ryilefer> trism: on it
[17:48] <trism> ryilefer: if: dkms status; says installed for nvidia-346 I would try restarting after that
[17:49] <ryilefer> trism: removed 304..installing 346..will restart the system once its done and let you know
[17:52] <ryilefer> trism: seems to be working fine...
[17:54] <ryilefer> trism: using nvidia binary driver-version 346.72 from nvidia-346(open source)
[17:59] <trism> ryilefer: excellent, yeah I think the problem was 304 just hadn't added support for 720m yet, it is pretty old
[18:00] <ryilefer> trism: ah..this should work fine right?..I'll try not to mess around with it too much
[18:10] <ryilefer> trism: anyway, thanks a lot for your help man.. You saved my ass..cheers!
