Nouveau Error: unknown chipset during startup Ubuntu 14.04
As far as I can see the open source driver in this release doesn't support this relatively new card.
Did this happen with the live session or an actual installation?
A workaround in these scenarios for installations seems to be:
- Rebooting in
recovery modevia advanced options in GRUB. - Setting graphics to
failsafeX. - Install the proprietary Nvidia drivers: How do I install the Nvidia drivers?
Please test the latest LTS and non-LTS ISO images (currently 14.04.01 and 14.10). If the issue still exists on the latest non-LTS, then please file a bug. Here is an example for an older card:
