have to keep install Nvidia drivers when rebooting

**renderd** · 08-08-2010

Anytime i reboot or shutdown linux i get an error saying it cant find my drivers or somthing before x starts... i tell it to shutdown to terminal rerun drivers and everything works untill i reboot again <.< for now i just been keeping my computer on but i would rather figure this out... i have searched high and low and finnaly have given up trying to get it to work with just using google research... hopefully sombody knows what im doing wrong.

thanks for reading

...id post my xorg conf file... but the site wont let me because somthing to do with not allowing links.

How did you install nVidia drivers. Ubuntu way or by hand.

**renderd** · 08-08-2010

I downloaded them from the site (nvida) and i placed them a easy to get to place i then opened terminal(while in X) went to location and tried command sh <file> told me i needed to shut down x so i did so

Alt + Ctrl + F1 window (1st terminal)

closed X and went in to directory and did same command... it installed and then brought me back to 1st terminal used command xstart and seemed like everything was okay untill i rebooted...

i tried another way requiring comand lines... i would link the webpage but it wont let me

sorry newbie here

Did you try looking at Ubuntu documentation.
A quick Google gave this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Bi...erHowto/Nvidia

Installing stuff by hand is the last resort, you should use official way. This also guarantees you will get updates as they become available.

**devils casper** · 08-09-2010

Post the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file here. Post log file too.

Code:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

btw i would like to thank all for the posts and helping me

**coopstah13** · 08-09-2010

well that is from a time when it worked, it would be best to see the log when it didn't work

also, post output of lsmod command when it doesn't work, i'm guessing for some reason nvidia module isn't being loaded after reboot

**renderd** · 08-09-2010

Okay so i rebooted and it gave same error, but i booted into X to get you the "non working conf"

here is Xorg.conf

also here is the the error i get when trying to run nvidia-settings

Code:

You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.

I think this is what your asking for.
