12.04.3 Nvidia 340 driver results in text only login

[Bob Shanteau]

Installing Nvidia 340 driver in a fresh install of MythBuntu 12.04.2 works OK, but doing the same thing in 12.04.3 results in text only login on restart.

Oops, I installed the Nvidia 319 driver, not 340.

I just tried running Software Update (new kernel, etc.) BEFORE installing the Nvidia 319 driver and it booted OK (I did NOT get the text only login screen).

We really do appreciate you opening this ticket to help improve Mythbuntu, but it needs to be closed for a number of reasons. The biggest one is that upstream has moved on to a new version and believes this to be fixed. Could you please verify if this issue still exists in the latest version?

Please do not let the closing of this ticket dissuade you from opening a new ticket if this (or any other) problem occurs with the newer versions.
