I don't know how to switch to nouveau on 12.04... but it said in "additional drivers" settings that the nvidia driver was "activated but not in use".

I installed nouveau-firmware which mentions nvidia in it, but that didn't make any difference even after a reboot.

I got nvidia driver working on Trusty by importing my old x11 file, but then I lost it again and I don't know how to get the nvidia settings to work.
I installed nvidia-331 and then went and activated in software & updates -> additional drivers and tried nvidia-311 and nvidia-304, activated it, and rebooted. Both still had the crashing issue.... so it's probably not actually the specific driver issue?

What now? I'd really like suspend to work... or at least a way to save open windows & files...
