DDM NDIVIA 304.116-2 installation failed [SOLVED]
Posted: Wed Feb 19, 2014 1:28 pm
After upgrading SP8, Xwindow won't work, it seems NVIDIA driver for SP8 has some problems with my environment ?
As a work around, I have installed nouveau driver instead of NDIVIA 304.xx driver at the moment.
I have just made a quick investigation for some tests.
SP6:
Just after clean installation of LMDE SP6 (MATE 64BIT), Device Driver Manager wrongly identified NDIVIA 319.72 instead of NDIVIA 304.116-2
SP6 clean upgrade to SP8
then Device Driver Manager correctly identified NDIVIA 304.116-2
however, after driver installation, Xwindow doesn’t work (just like my own upgrade from SP7 to SP8)
It seems installed 319.72, not 304.116-2 ?? I am not sure, I have attached Xorg.0.log here, please verify this.
Xorg.0.log
If the Device Driver Manager won't work with NDIVIA 304.xx driver, I sincerely do hope Mint Team will fix this issue before making ISO images
as Device Driver Manager is extremely helpful for beginners like myself.
This is my first post and very new to this forum, if something is wrong /or missing please forgive me !
Many thanks for this great Linux Mint OS to everybody
