I removed all nvidia drivers, did another search and now there is no "recommended" drivers for my card anymore. terrific

What happens when you enter this in a terminal?:

Code:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

Also, try changing your update settings to Main Server - if it is already pointing to this, ask it to check which is the best server for your location.

It updates me to a version that is not suitable for my card. I chose the older version 304 in my list and it seems to be working, although there is no [recommended]next to it, it works the same as before thank god. I had version 319 and it now appears to have been taken off the list for some reason. anyways im not updating again im leaving it on 304 because they work

Firstly remove all Nvidia Drivers


Start from scratch !!!!

Use Wolfman's tutorial removing nvidia-current.

Then install these packages to be able to compile the Nvidia kernel module.

: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic linux-source build-essential


Now you can install the nvidia driver package > Nvidia 319.00 <

: sudo apt-get install nvidia-319-updates

After install run nvidia xconfig to make X use the driver (might not be needed).

: sudo nvidia-xconfig


If you still are having problems making X use the nvidia driver.
Try to update initramfs.

: sudo update-initramfs -u


In most cases, I've found by reverting back to Grub instead of Grub v2 life was even better.
You can replace one for the other by :

: sudo apt-get install grub

: sudo update-grub

Revert back to Grub2

: sudo apt-get install grub2

: sudo update-grub


Grub2 is garbage in my book for the majority !!!!
That's only my opinion !!!!


Lastly look in Wolfman's post-install guide again " Run DPKG to fix anything that is broken ect !!!!

Hard Restart " Using the power button. "


Works for me everytime on the odd machines with Nvidia Graphics.


The last update screwed everything up with the Nvidia Driver....don't remember what did the damage.
All I know is I got my GT-240 card working perfect once again.
