[Bug 1062253] Re: Cannot install 12.10 beta 2, nouveau doesn't recognise nVidia Geforce GTX 560

[M. van der Heide]

Looked at the
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage#Finding_the_Package_Name
site and found out that when encountering problems during installation
of the Desktop CD I should use the ubiquity package.

** Package changed: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) => ubiquity
(Ubuntu)

Title:
  Cannot install 12.10 beta 2, nouveau doesn't recognise nVidia Geforce
  GTX 560

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I boot the 12.10 beta 2 on my (test) system the screen is totally messed up. I cannot read anything.
  After about 10 minutes I get console output on the upper left of my screen, this tells me that nouveau cannot find a "native mode".

  Running the "live" version gives me the same output. After a while
  however I get the message that the system is running on low-graphics
  mode. But I cannot seem to "fix" the modes myself.

  I'm running the AMD64 bits version (not for Mac). I've got a nVidia
  Geforce GTX560 installed in my system. The systems runs without any
  problems in the 64-bits 12.04 version using the nVidia-drivers (didn't
  test the nouveau-drivers).

  If you need any additional info (or "photos" of the screen while
  booting), please let me know.

  Kind Regards,
  Marco van der Heide
