| BluesKaj | Hi all | 12:58 |
| ryilefer | Guys..tried to update nvidia..running 15.10..now I cnat even login.. It says "the system is running in low graphics mode" | 17:01 |
| 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 | 17:07 |
| ryilefer | @trism: on it | 17:11 |
| ryilefer | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed ,0 to remove and 18 not upgraded | 17:15 |
| 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?? | 17:17 |
| trism | ryilefer: just type: dkms status; | 17:18 |
| ryilefer | Installed | 17:18 |
| ryilefer | Do in type the output? | 17:19 |
| ryilefer | I* | 17:19 |
| 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 | 17:21 |
| ryilefer | trism: http://imgur.com/VHS3hLi | 17:22 |
| 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 | 17:24 |
| trism | ryilefer: the output looks fine, which nvidia card do you have? | 17:25 |
| ryilefer | 720M | 17:25 |
| 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* | 17:27 |
| trism | ryilefer: do you see any nvidia lines in the output of: dmesg; ? | 17:28 |
| ryilefer | trism: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11800295/ | 17:29 |
| 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 | 17:35 |
| ryilefer | 3-4 years | 17:36 |
| ryilefer | Probably | 17:36 |
| ryilefer | Geforce 720M | 17:37 |
| ryilefer | trism: http://imgur.com/3QtTMSB | 17:40 |
| trism | ryilefer: actually, I think the problem is you are using too old a nvidia version | 17:43 |
| trism | ryilefer: you are on 304.125 but I see the 720m in the latest version | 17:44 |
| ryilefer | Ah...anything I can do? | 17:44 |
| ryilefer | trism: I followed some YouTube tutorial to update the driver...biggest mistake.. | 17:45 |
| trism | ryilefer: try: sudo apt-get purge nvidia-304; then: sudo apt-get install nvidia-346; | 17:46 |
| ryilefer | trism: on it | 17:46 |
| trism | ryilefer: if: dkms status; says installed for nvidia-346 I would try restarting after that | 17:48 |
| ryilefer | trism: removed 304..installing 346..will restart the system once its done and let you know | 17:49 |
| ryilefer | trism: seems to be working fine... | 17:52 |
| ryilefer | trism: using nvidia binary driver-version 346.72 from nvidia-346(open source) | 17:54 |
| trism | ryilefer: excellent, yeah I think the problem was 304 just hadn't added support for 720m yet, it is pretty old | 17:59 |
| ryilefer | trism: ah..this should work fine right?..I'll try not to mess around with it too much | 18:00 |
| ryilefer | trism: anyway, thanks a lot for your help man.. You saved my ass..cheers! | 18:10 |
