Thread: Upgrade breaks X : nvidia configuration


upgraded lucid. seems work fine, except x (error message "failed load session ubuntu"). have nailed down nvidia issue (at least think so).
in dmesg :

[ 26.475527] nvrm: nvidia geforce fx 5200 gpu installed in system is
[ 26.475537] nvrm: supported through nvidia 173.14.xx legacy drivers. please

[ 26.475543] nvrm: information. 295.49 nvidia driver ignore

[ 28.682921] nvrm: loading nvidia unix x86 kernel module 173.14.35 thu may 31 12:00:16 pdt 2012

can see have downloaded , installed legacy drivers system asking for, without change. assume may because probe graphics card comes before nvidia driver loaded.
have tried removing nvidia , reinstall legacy driver, didnt work either.

worked fine on lucid way. dont understand why upgrade should break this. not enough backwards comp testing guess.

suggestions?

Thread: Can not create raid array: mdadm: no raid-devices specified.

hello! i'm trying setup software raid on server, fail @ first step: code: root@sandnabba:/root# mdadm -c /dev/md0 -c512 -l5 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 mdadm: no raid-devices specified. what doing wrong!? are sure -c equivalent --create? also, think need space after -c , -l options, value shouldn't command, or should have = between. @ man pages mdadm , double check spelling.
