Bug Description
After apt-get remove nvidia-* the file /etc/modprobe.
So, Ubuntu works great, with 3D Unity and nouveau. Then I installed the nvidia-driver but didn't like all the consequences of that proprietary driver that doesn't integrate.
- No proper Monitor detection (separate tool, forwarded to system as single monitor)
- No color profiles
- Ugly boot screen
- etc.
But after uninstall of nvidia. It got me back to unity-2d, no 2nd Monitor (mission hdmi support)
I tried to reinstall nouveau, but driver still doesn't load.
Then I found out that the nouveau driver is still blacklisted. Manually removed that file, rebooted, it worked again.
There's a second file that blacklists nouveau, but gets removed after uninstall of nvidia-current. /etc/modprobe.
content of /etc/modprobe.
# This file was installed by nvidia-current
# Do not edit this file manually
blacklist nouveau
blacklist lbm-nouveau
alias nouveau off
alias lbm-nouveau off
