Certainly. After you clicked "OK." The Ubuntu installation service isn't going to install proprietary graphics drivers without your explicit consent. Until that point, you're using the current open source drivers. And those don't have the fan speed issue. fyi, -- -Craig

You can use the nv driver to get a marginally functional desktop, probably not at the resolution you want, and that's about it. nVidia do provide binary blobs which are pretty good in general, and I don't know what went wrong in this case. Unfortunately, nVidia shows no signs of freeing its drivers. |
