12.04 and NVIDIA card problem with NVIDIA Geforce 7025 [closed]

NOTE:

SRU Request:

Please accept nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates in precise-proposed. Driver 295.49 should fix both the problem reported in this bug report and the other one reported in bug #982485 https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/982710

This will hopefully be resolved in the near future so manual driver installs are not necessary.

There is a known bug with several Nvidia cards.

We have been made aware of an interaction problem between the fix contained in the newest release any any card with a chip older than G80, inclusive. This includes the full GeForce 6 and 7 series as well as GeForce 8800GTX and first-gen 8800GTS. We are actively working on resolving this issue and will provide an update as soon as possible.

The symptoms can include graphical corruption, performance issues, crashes and temporary hangs.

The release should be perfectly safe to use with more recent cards than that; I'll update this thread ASAP.

Thanks, - Pierre-Loup

The newly-released 302.07 beta driver should include a fix for all the issues I mentioned above. Please open a new thread should you notice an issue with that driver.

I also have a Geforce 7025 nvidia onboard card - and it has been pestering me since 11.04

What did the trick in 12.04 was installing the latest driver and, for some reason I ignore, lowering the shared memory for the graphic card in the BIOS from 256 to 128. The nvidia drivers work wonderfully now.

To update the drivers with x-swat ppa and to install Nvidia card latest drivers, open Terminal and copy the following commands in the terminal:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

When the installation is complete restart your PC.

When rebooting enter BIOS. Go to Advanced in CPU Settings lower the shared memory from 256 to 128.

This has helped me. I hope it helps you as well. Thank You.
