Since Ubuntu 12.04 LTS has been released I have no luck at all with this release on my desktop or laptop. I've looked all over the internet and I see allot of other user having problems aswell. I had release 11.10 64-bit running on my desktop without any problem. But with 12.04 I have issues with my Geforce GTX850. The dual screen settings don't take effect as it should. On my primary screen I have everything working fine, but on the second screen I have a grey backbground, no wallpaper, and it doesn't feel like it's working at all. I have tried to uninstall the Nvidia drivers but that doesn't work either because then the whole system freezes on me.

I have version 295.40 installed of the Nvidia driver.

Please, create two question one for each problem you have, providing a meaningful title for both. You are asking for two different problem on two different machines, and title is quite generic... – lorenzo-s May 14 '12 at 13:20
Make a USB Live disk, boot into live mode and try to install the drivers. Do you still get the same issues? If not, it may be time to do a clean install. I too had quite a few issues with broken packages, and such, at least there is a Cairo Dock Option... =) – vkcaspervk May 14 '12 at 14:02
Running the live version from the cd-rom freezes before I can choose live or install. I had to install 12.04 from safe mode. I'm running now a check on the cd-rom itself. Any idea's? – Kiwaf May 15 '12 at 18:15
The error check was OK. So please has anyone a idea how to fix this? – Kiwaf May 15 '12 at 19:00
With the latest current driver and settings to Twin View the problem was finally solved!!! – Kiwaf Nov 3 '12 at 7:09
