Updates installed today broke nvidia
I allowed Ubuntu to update this morning, without really paying attention to what was updated. After the required reboot, I got error messages relating to graphics and I only get one monitor working. Here is the error Message:
<b>Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode</b>
The following error was encountered. You may need to update your configuration to solve this.
(EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your
(EE) NVIDIA: system's kernle log for additional error messages.
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.
<Error message ends>
After I clear that, I get a message box with 4 choices:
1) Run Ubuntu in low-graphics mode for just one session (I get full resolution but only 1 screen)
2) Reconfigure graphics (This runs, but a reboot puts me in the same place)
3) Troubleshoot the error (Takes me to another screen)
4) Exit to console login (Self-explanatory)
Selecting 3 gives me a new message box with 4 choices:
1) Review the xserver log file
2) Review the startup errors
3) Edit the configuration file
4) Archive configuration and logs
Graphics = nvidia 8800GT, Driver: Linux-x86_64 185.18.14 (nvidia-installer --update reports it's the latest version despite the fact that the nvidia website says there's a 185.18.19)
Let me know if any further info is required (log files, etc.) Thanks in advance.
