Ubuntu weirdness

[Shurikeeen]

So, when I tried to open 64-bit KSP on Ubuntu, I got greeted with this screen http://imgur.com/jEsa3xp

Then, after KSP froze the whole computer I did a hard reboot and explored the log. The log says my GPU is "Gallium 0.4 on NVE6 (160MB)" even though I have Nvidia GTX 660.

I have no idea what is going on here, does anyone more experienced then me know what is happening here?

Here is the log anyways https://www.dropbox.com/s/4sz6f1xznl9kp5r/KSP.log?dl=0

Gallium is seems to refer to the open-source nvidia driver. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium3D) You might have more success with the proprietary drivers if you don't already have them installed.

See here:

If you want to confirm that Ubuntu is properly identifying your graphics card, use lspci from the terminal to list your hardware.

It seems to be detecting my card (01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK106 [GeForce GTX 660] (rev a1)).

I tried using "NVIDIA Binary Driver - Version 331.113 from nvidia-331-updates" driver from "Additional Drivers" tab from "Software & Updates" with no luck.

Now I installed a driver from Nvidia's site and after i start Ubuntu my both screens are black. I still can open ctrl+alt+f1.
