Debian Multimedia :: Nouveau Not Working With 2.6.33 RT Kernel?
Jan 26, 2011
I'd like to run a real-time kernel with the latest linux-rt patch, for 2.6.33. Incidentally, the .33 kernel was the first to include the Nouveau driver, and seeing that I cannot get the proprietary NVidia driver to compile --the RT patch really messes things up and the patches for nv-linux.h out there all seem incomplete-- I thought it would be a good idea to switch to Nouveau and save me from additional headaches.
I'm running sid, and as you certainly know, the Nouveau driver has been backported to the stock Debian kernel, 2.6.32-5-686. It works very well, all I had to do was change my xorg.conf with this line : Driver "nouveau".
However, when I boot my new 2.6.33-rt kernel, Xorg stops here :
[skipping a lot of stuff that seems to work ok]
(II) LoadModule: "nouveau"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nouveau_drv.so
(II) Module nouveau: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 0.0.15
[Code]....
So what is so different about the backport to 2.6.32 ? How come the DRM lib, or whatever it is, doesn't work with 2.6.33 ?
I just thought of something, I'll try compiling my 2.6.33 kernel without the -rt patch and I'll let you know.

I am using Debian Squeeze, I have GPU Nvidia GTX460. I have tried almost everything, but I am not able to have working console after X starts. Nouveau and nv drivers from xorg are not working ( they dont support gtx460 ), so I am using nvidia drivers from [URL]... version 260.19.36. I am using kernel 2.6.32-5-686.

I have installed debian jessie stable and would like to use hardware decoding with the nouveau driver. I have tested with the propietary nvidia 340.65 driver and MPV and successfully enabled hardware decoding. However, there seems to be a frame sync issue with mutter and nvidia that I want to avoid. I've followed the instructions for enabling hardware decoding with nouveau here, hURL..., but haven't had success. What I've done so far is install jessie stable, run updates, install mplayer2, mpv, mesa-vdpau-drivers, and follow the previously mentioned guide. Mplayer2 throws an error about not finding the proper codec. MPV at least attempts to play the video but promptly freezes the system so that I can't recover without rebooting. URL....

On my HP i7 based laptop the latest kernel 2.6.33-147 and possibly Nouveau/X.org seems to have broken suspend. ie If the laptop is suspended then when woke, the screen is dead and networking does not work and I cannot change to a different console.If I boot the previous kernel this behaviour does not occur.

All 3d applications run with a solid black screen, and compiz will try to revert to the fallback wm, even though I have the new nouveau/gallium setup in 10.10.
glxgears appears to *think* it has a working screen, but it stays blank:
Code:
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
3570 frames in 5.0 seconds = 713.841 FPS
3298 frames in 5.0 seconds = 659.541 FPS

My laptop is a Dell XPS 1340, it contains an integrated 9400M, and a discrete G210m. In trying to get vgaswitcheroo working with these cards, it seemed that every time I tried to switch outputs, my computer would freeze.
Code:
cd /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo
sudo chmod 777 switch
echo DIS > switch # Same with DDIS, same with OFF It seems like what would happen if vgaswitcheroo turned off the driver (nouveau) powering the card on PCI bus 3 (the 9400M), and attempted to turn on the driver powering the G210m, which doesn't exist.. I think? Can somebody confirm?

Now that nVidia is up and running, I'm curious to do a comparison with Nouveau. I there an EASY way to do this? Like a simple on/off switch? Major system/kernel changes are not an acceptable option. If it can't be easily done, I'll just stick with nVidia.

I've started playing around with debian 6 stable, and was just wondering if its worth it to go to the trouble of removing nouveau, or if it will handle everything well enough. I use my laptop for a little bit of gaming (older games) under wine, all the basic email/web browsing/writing stuff, some photo editing under gimp, movies/music, and a very little bit of Blender work.Will Nouveau handle all this well enough, or should I use the proprietary nvidia driver?

I am running the newest Nvidia driver from nvidia.com, version 260.19.44. The built in proprietary Nvidia driver does not work properly.
Recently ubuntu was updated to a newer kernel 2.6.35.27 from 2.6.35.25. Under 2.6.35.25 the driver is working. Under 2.6.35.27 the desktop is not starting, and I can login to a 'console'. After login i try to run startx, and gets some errors. See attached Xorg.0.log.

I'm using ubuntu 10.10 with the proprietary Nvidia-driver for my graphics card. I'd like to switch to the open source Nouveau driver. What is the best way to go about this?

I need to use the proprietary NVIDIA driver instead, but it can't install while this is active. I'm working off a fairly fresh install anyway, so I can reinstall debian if the option to not install nouveau is present somewhere during the install process. Or, is there an easy way to get rid of Nouveau from my current install altogether?

ubuntu --> debian --> ubuntu --> debian --> fedora --> ubuntu netbook remix --> kubuntu --> lubuntu --> arch --> debian testing --> ubuntu --> debian testing (with different GUI LXDE, GNOME, KDE, ENLIGHTENMENT) --> Linux Mint LMDE --> PCLINUXOS --> ubuntu (different GUI's again) --> Debian testing --> Debian Sid with APT pinning.
I still consider myself a linux newbie so if there is anything that seems misleading or incorrect please let me know.
Some history: Normally my wireless worked out of the box with ubuntu (2.6.35) with minor hiccups and few disconnect issues.
In debian testing (2.6.32) all i needed to do was install the firmware-ralink_0.27_all.deb package and it would work properly.Today I noticed that there was a kernel upgrade from 2.6.32-5 to 2.6.37-1 available in Sid. I upgraded the kernel everything works properly but my wireless would not connect. I use gnome with network manager. Network manager would list all available wireless networks but not be able to connect with wpa/wpa2 security. I noticed that network manager was using the rt2800 driver which does not work properly with my wireless card. It also seems that kernel 2.6.37 removed the rt2860sta driver reference from its "source".
When i was using Ubuntu Maverick with kernel 2.6.35 i noticed that network manager would use the rt2800 driver. Normally I would be able to connect but every so often or after the computer would "sleep" I would not be able to reconnect to a wireless network without rebooting. I found this post on the Ubuntu forums that describes how to compile the driver from source and problem solved: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1476007 I will for the most part, copy the steps that Sven6210 describes and modify for the debian kernel 2.6.37-1
Things needed before proceeding :
1.Gedit text editor program or alternative
2.Have gcc (The GNU C compiler) installed
3.These steps assume the system is configured with sudo, please make appropriate modifications tailored to your system.
4.Be not afraid of the command line.

I've just done a clean install of 10.04.01 (64bit) and am having a few issues with the Nouveau driver.
1. I'm getting a series of horizontal lines across the screen ( image).
2. I'm getting, what appear to be, GPU lockups. This appears to happen after an amount of browsing and rendering images.
My system setup is:
10.04.01 LTS
grep 'Monitor name' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) NOUVEAU(0): Monitor name: EA231WMi
VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G71 [GeForce 7300 GS] (rev a1)

I was using an extremely common debian based distro, but I have been rebooting my pc non stop for the last two days trying to get my nvidia fx5200 drivers to work. (it is just IMPOSSIBLE to disable the nouveau driver, i have tried blacklisting it, editing xorg etc, nothing works) I need to know if there are many issues with getting nvidia graphics cards to work in debian. it seems like the last 18 months worth of releases on all the other debian based distros have completely broken all support for any nvidia card made prior to 2011. i know for a fact that in windows xp all my hardware works perfectly, but i really dont want to have to use that, i have been a linux user for more than 5 years now, but all i am really looking for now is reliability. i want to be able to use the nvidia-173 driver, as i know that this allows me to watch the movies i take on my dv camera, and ......

Yesterday I installed some updates on my Jessie system (I don't remember if the kernel was also updated). After rebooting the system nothing happens after the "Loading intial ramdisk"-message. If I boot in recovery mode the boot stops at the message:
Code: Select allfb: switching to nouveaufb from simple
If I add "nouveau.modeset=0" temporary to the GRUB-entry for the recovery mode, it will boot up in the console-mode.
I was able to get an ethernet connection with "dhclient eth0" and removed the "xserver-xorg-video-nouveau" package. Then I installed it and the removed gnome-desktop again. Before removing it, aptitude said the following to the package:
Code: Select alli A xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
Now it only says:
Code: Select alli  xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
But this didn't change my problem. I found a similar case in the internet, but there were no solutions for it: [URL] ....
The next thing I would do, is to install the proprietary nvidia-drivers, but since I have a GTX 960 video card, I would have to use experimental drivers. So I'm afraid to make it more worse trying to install this drivers.
Also I'm not sure if it really is a driver-specific of kernel-specific problem. My kernel is version 3.16.0-4-amd64.

Motherboard: M2N-MX with Athlon X2 3600 from 2006 onwards
00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] (rev a2)
Kernel: Debian Sid with 2.6.32-5-amd64 and custom 2.6.36-rc7
Monitor: Samsung 712N, 17inch, with native 1280x1024 resolution
Everything was fine with both kernels with custom 1280x1024 resolution upto yesterday. But when I rebooted today, first I noticed that X stopped working. After updating xorg.conf to 1024x768, it started working . After going through the kernel log in /var/log/messages, I noticed the following differences
Yesterdays log:
nouveau 0000:00:0d.0: Detected 64MiB VRAM
nouveau 0000:00:0d.0: 64 MiB GART (aperture)
nouveau 0000:00:0d.0: Saving VGA fonts
[code]....
There is an extra "Load detected" line and the resolution got reduced from 1280x1024 to 1024x768.

Today I've installed Debian Squeeze Beta2. During the net-installation everything was fine. After the installation my login screen is too slow: booting up the the login graphics may take several minutes and when it is done, the keyboard is delayed or not responsive. When I switch to tty, before the activation of the cursor (that is, before I can type anything at the login prompt because the keyboard does not respond), appears this message.
[drm] nouveau 0000:05:00.0 GPU lockup - switching to software fbcon
Then I can login into the terminal. LSPCI say that 05:00 is the graphics card, an INVIDIA GeForce 8800 gtx that worked on Debian Lenny.

For quite a long time now, I haven't even needed to re-install video drivers most of the time. However, ever since version 2.6.36-0.dmz.4, they haven't been. I booted my system after installing that kernel, re-installed the video drivers, and when that didn't work, completely removed them and re-installed them, and it still didn't work. Well, I was told that the installation was successful but even after restarting it appeared that they weren't working. I installed 2.6.36-0.dmz.5 today and the same problem persists. I tried an older kernel version (2.6.36-4 something) and they worked fine.

Testing distribution. Installed Linux 3.0 but left 2.6.32 on as backup. When I boot into the old kernel, wireless mostly works OK, but never when I boot with the new kernel.
Results of dmesg|grep wlan0 on 2.6:
[ 22.005102] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
[ 28.196774] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
[ 28.644779] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
[ 30.688053] wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:19:5b:06:9f:ba (try 1)
[ 30.694053] wlan0: direct probe responded
[Code]...
Noticing the Access Point looked like it needed the MAC address, I ran iwconfig wlan0 ap <MACADDRESS> and sometimes it will work, and wicd can connect to the access point. But sometimes the command fails to run.

i'm trying to get my WLan working, i do have a Broadcom BCM4312 lpphy WLan-Adapter (pci-id according to lspci -vnn is 14e4:4315) in my Lenove ideapad S12. My System is Debian Lenny, but in order for the WLan-Adapter to work I installed the 2.6.32-3-686 Kernel from debian squeeze (using apt-pinning). I than installed the b43-firmware as described in the debian wiki [URL]. I updated the init-ramfs, everything is working as expected, except for WLan.
It shows up using iwconfig, i can get it up and down using ifconfig (or ifup, ifdown). I can't do a scan using iwlist - it says: % iwlist wlan0 scan > Failed to read scan data : Resource temporarily unavailable
It always fails, but not with the same error message. Sometimes it also comes up with > device or resource busy
Using dmesg I see reports about a fatal DMA error, resulting in a controller RESET. It says it's loading firmware 478.104 .

Built a machine w/ i5-4440 & gtx 960. I installed xserver-xorg-video-intel & xserver-xorg-video-nouveau. Xorg -configure fails, so I added xorg.conf I found online, makes no difference. xrandr can't open display. startx of course fails.
Backstory: My plan was to dual boot sid + stable as fallback with shared partition. First installed stable and whether connected to mobo or gfx card, I couldn't get login on tty, it would just hang on errors. So I installed sid (this time using lvm to hopefully make partitioning easier) and while I get the "failed to load nouveau" errors on mobo, gfx card gives me a login screen.

I finally installed Squeeze on my laptop and found out that the XF86Audio multimedia keys do not work.
When I press them, they're correctly identified by xev but they do not produce the desired effect (raise/lower/mute volume, play/pause/stop/prev/next song in media players like Sonata).
Funnily enough though, they do work in Audacious, which has its own plugin to manage XF86Audio media keys.
So it's like the action of pressing these keys is not intercepted by the system and no event is triggered.
I think this might be due to a missing package or configuration but I have no idea where to look...
