Re: [Bug 1394189] Re: [Samsung NP-RF711-S07UK] Nvidia proprietary driver stopped working after ubuntu 14.04 updates from 18 November 2014

 

After I download the driver file what would I need to do to install these
drivers and stop using the nouveau drivers.  I previously have only used
the 'Additional Drivers' section of the 'software and updates' program in
Ubuntu to switch between drivers.  Also could you give me the instructions
to switch back to the nouveau driver if the latest nvidia driver doesn't
work.

Thanks.

Title:
  [Samsung NP-RF711-S07UK] Nvidia proprietary driver stopped working
  after ubuntu 14.04 updates from  18 November 2014

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.

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