Yesterday I upgraded to 11.04 and I found out the new Linux kernel 2.6.38 did not work. The maverick kernel however did. Searching at askubuntu I found some tips which suggested to disable quiet splash in the grub config (/etc/default/grub
).
I supposed it had something to do with the video driver, so I disabled the nvidia proprietary driver and rebooted. This didn't really work and eventually I ended up with a the non-graphical tty1.
With startx
I tried to start the graphical environment again, but this resulted in an error like:
Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
After that I booted in recovery mode and reinstalled the nvidia driver again, after the classic gnome worked again, but Unity doesn't work yet. Also in classic all (compiz) effects are disabled.
I guess I have to get that working again and Unity will work after that too, question is: how?
compiz --replace
(andunity --replace
) which had this output: pastie.org/private/ula73fntuxl9wvht7kkug It looks like opengl is failing.
