Mint 14 KDE Nadia and Nvidia driver problem
Posted: Fri Feb 08, 2013 8:50 am
Hi
First of all, I'm new to linux, with no experiance at all. This is the second time I'm reinstalling KDE
on my ASUS U36SG because of the NVIDIA driver problem. I have tried out at least 10 different solutions for
how to install the driver properly but none of them works. Instead i end up with messages like
"You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server."
nvidia-xconfig command doesn't even work. My computer has the Optimus technology with both Intel and Nvidia Geforce 610M.
I even tried Bumblebee with no effect. Instead at the end, I end up with a screen resolution of 800*600 i think. My CPU is an Intel 5 core.
The latest attempt was as follows below but ending up with the same results described above :
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia
Nouveau was blacklisted as follows:
blacklist amd76x_edac
blacklist vga16fb
blacklist nouveau
blacklist rivafb
blacklist nvidiafb
blacklist rivatv
