Someone who has same problem wrote:
The problem is that Ubuntu not can decide witch graphic card (placed in SLI) who is the premier, and reacted by saying that there is no graphic card.
For me it was enough to write the Bus ID on the graphic card in xorg.conf as explained in this tread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=965085&hi...
My Device section loks now like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Busid "PCI:3:0:0"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "sli" "auto"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection
Find bus-id with the command:
- Code: Select all
lspci | grep VGA
and insert the first found instead.
( it is prolonging the boot-time, but works )

Here is a quick how to:
Hit Ctrl Alt F1(that will get you a terminal)
type sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
add your BusID #
hit Ctrl ^ 0 to save it(I think it is called write out in nano)
Nano is quirky at best so you may have to try it a few times until you see /etc/X11/xorg.conf on the save line.
Then hit Ctrl Alt F7 that will start gdm again reboot and you should be good to go.
And no, I don't remember this off the top of my head. At my age, I have to write everything down, and I mean everything!!

When the installer gets to the part about scanning the mirrors just unplug the ethernet cable(that will speed things up a bit) then plug it back in when you get past that part. I can do an install in <20 minutes on my computer!!!
