So how would you do this if you run KXStudio from a USB, but can’t open a terminal because KXStudio loads the wrong video driver at startup?

Just purchased the GeForce GTX 1050 TI… am running Xubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit… AMD CPU
Current video card is AMD/ATI Turks XT Radeon 6670

Problem. IF I install the new card, the CPU will recognize it, I can enter the BIOS set-up, Diagnostics, etc. BUT, Xubuntu will not display, as the OS does not recognize the card.

Downloaded the driver for the new card, but upon trying to install, the install program tells me that I do not have any hardware installed that need this driver, so installation fails.

So, I can’t install the driver(s) until I have the card installed, but I can’t see screen display with the card installed because the drivers are not installed.

Reminds me very much of “You can’t join the union unless you have a job, and you can’t get a job unless you’re in the union.”
How to fix?

I’ve already sent an AMD card back because I could only use it with the next generation OS, and I’m not upgrading until next year, thank you very little…

I bought the card based on this review: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=nvidia-gtx-1050ti&num=1

Excellent article, however not all of the Nvidia drivers are in the ppa. If you run into that case, there are instructions on how to download and install directly from the Nvidia web here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/451221/ubuntu-14-04-install-nvidia-driver

After installation, you can check that the installation went well with the information in this article.

Thanks for the great information!

I have been running Ubuntu on an old Compaq after Windows XP ceased to have support. Twice it has failed me and on both occasions it happened after an update. The images on screen are unstable and the mouse impossible to use though working. I followed the instructions given here and it rectified the problem on both occasions. The driver ‘Nouveau’ doesn’t work with Nvidia so why allow it to be included in the update. As soon as it is cleared from the kernal and Nvidia 304 replaces it all is well. No abuse please, I’m old and new to Linux I just want a simple explanation.
