I have updated my graphics card with NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.20 driver and since then the screen turns white with black vertical lines at startup, shootoff and reboot.

Since then I have tryed to change it with the drivers at "Alternative Drivers" and none of them works right, the same bug happens.

What can I do to solve this issue.

Thank you

  • What graphics card do you have? Before installing the nvidia-current driver, be sure to remove the OLD one (installed using the .sh file) first. Have a look at http://askubuntu.com/a/92587/6969 – Lekensteyn Mar 16 '12 at 20:16
