i'm using ubuntu 14.04 and i have Nvidia GF119M and Intel® Ivybridge Mobile x86/MMX/SSE2 on me. I tried to switch my card to nvidia, but an error appeared and its blank. How do i get my nvidia to work?
since there was no reply for like 3 weeks, i decided to reinstall my ubuntu because i had some issues while trying to fix this. it works fine now.
looks like i'm missing this part before. sometimes, selecting the nvidia driver itself just gave me a black screen but this one works fine.
switched my driver to nvidia 331 and restart the pc
nvidia-prime
and use this ppa sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
to install prime-indicator
and Install the rest with sudo apt-get install -f
nvidia-setting
through terminal? And see what's the output are?-V
(Verbose, big v) option actually. So,nvidia-setting -V
. It will gives you more output.
