Comment 80 for bug 660596

hi dear,

did you install the proprietary nvidia-driver?? I use LinuxMint and I have
no problems with the latest proprietary
nvidia-driver.

Did you do the whole update and dist-upgrade after the fresh install??
This brings a complete new nvidia-system
Your problem seems to be because you did not do the complete system-update
and system-upgrade as first steps after
your fresh installation

So you first pleas uninstall this driver again and go back to the
preinstalled one (nouveau). Then go to your Terminal
and run the complete systemupdate and systemupgrade.

Then close your Terminal and go back to your control-center. There search
for "additional drivers". Then install the proprietary
nvidia driver. This will unistall nouveau and then install this new nvidia
system!!

Greetings
Linuxexperte
