When I try to switch to the NVIDIA driver, my laptop screen goes black during boot-up and then it powers down. I wonder, what is the correct procedure for making the switch?



I'm running Lubuntu 18.04, on a MacBookAir3,1. It has the GeForce 320M (rev a2) graphics card.



Here's what I've tried:



  1. Open the "Software & Updates" application

  2. On the "additional drivers" tab, select NVIDIA driver v. 340.107

  3. Apply changes

  4. Reboot

  5. after reboot, the screen goes black and the computer powers off

  6. I had to boot to the command line, remove the NVIDIA driver and reinstall the noveau driver, to get things running again.

Are there different/better steps I could take instead?

                    Image
                    Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
