16.04 - X will not start after upgrade. Number of monitors does not match number detected - Ask Ubuntu
last night upgraded 16.04 lts. upon trying log in kept resetting.
went terminal screen log on. if try startx
little in way of useful info.
/var/log/xorg.2.log
not have obvious error messages can see.
running x :1 -configure
returns error:
(++) using config file : "/ome/username/xorg.conf.new" (++) using systemconfig directory "/usr/share/x11/xorg/conf.d" number of created screens not match number of detected screens.
i have dual monitors installed on nvidia geforce gt430. @ /home/username/xorg.conf.new
, can see 2 monitors set up.
lsmod | grep nvidia
shows nvidia module installed.
i've tried reinstalling binary drivers after being told:
the distribution provided pr-install script failed! continue installation anyway?
when selecting yes
. error:
the kernel header file /lib/modules/4.4.0-45- generic/build/include/linux/version.h not exist.
despite making sure sources installed sure enough versions.h not exist in dir.
any ideas?
wineunuuch2unix had it. turned out running old driver install script. downloaded latest nvidia website , script ran correctly.
in process of messing around had installed nouveau along way caused conflicts. needed uninstalled , disabled did per question.
