unity - 16.10 and nvidia 304.132 - Ask Ubuntu


i did upgrade 2 days ago. went bed, woke no errors, , rebooted. unity got stuck in login loop (unity 8 freezes). after trial , error (basically googling whatever answers can find, throwing them @ wall, , seeing sticks), ended w/ xubuntu installed (it "works," bunch of compiz crashes waiting report once logged in), , led me switching nouveau, unity "works" (i can't remember else attempted). unity 8 still doesn't work (though that's not concern). fine on 15.10 (mostly - hello again, nomodeset) , 16.04 (completely). apparently, 304.132 broken on distributions. there way force install 304.131 , ignore updates? package nvidia's site not work @ (bombs out, won't finish install). nouveau fine, something's not reading edid correctly (or @ all, since 16.04 , 15.10 correctly identified monitor down brand , model), i'm stuck @ 1280x1024 (sucks, should 1680x1050). dread day might fix tv again , go dual-monitor setup. video card geforce 7800 gt, other major versions not option, nor buying different video card.

over last 48 hours, i've become quite adept @ getting point, whatever needs broken diagnose problem, i'm ok w/ it. know current driver trash, guess i'd force old driver on here if possible. if not, i'd ok w/ nouveau running right resolution (the xrandr route not work).

thank consideration.

i manage issue in way:

  1. run synaptic packet manager
  2. select packet named: nvidia-304
  3. go menu package | force version...
  4. select: 304.131-0ubuntu3 (xenial)

then same nvidia-opencl-icd-304

it working me.
