[Bug 1394189] Re: nvidia proprietary driver stopped working after ubuntu 14.04 updates from 18 November 2014

 

Larry, could you please provide the full computer model as noted on the
sticker of the computer itself (not from the Bug Description)?

** Description changed:

  Dual Screen not working on 14.04 when I log in today.  Get error
  message:
  
  Failed to apply configuration: %s
  
  GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._gnome_2drr_2derror_2dquark.Code2:
  could not set the configuration for CRTC 63
  
  Yesterday I applied updates.  Ubuntu software history shows these as:
  
  bsdutils(2.20.1-5.1ubuntu20.2,2.20.1-5.1ubuntu20.3)
  xserver-xorg-video-intel(2.99.910-0ubuntu1.2,2.99.910-0ubuntu1.3)
  
  Previous to this I have had no problems with dual screen on 14.04.
  
- Solved this by reverting back to the Nouveau driver rather than using the recommended proprietary driver under the Softwares &Updates>Additional Drivers link.  The recommended nvidia proprietary driver (version 331.38) previously worked but doesn't work after the above Ubuntu updates.  Graphics card used GeForce GT 540M.

+ WORKAROUND: Reverted to the Nouveau driver. The nvidia driver 331.38
+ previously worked but doesn't now after the above Ubuntu updates.
