Fedora :: F15 Freezes On Different Hardware And Graphics Drivers?

Jul 3, 2011

My workplace is conducting a pilot of fedora15 for adoption as our SOE desktop. We've installed on 3 desktops and two laptops, and are experiencing an intermittent lock-up on each platform. In all cases so far over our two week trial, whilst users are performing routine work on the gnome desktop (e.g. email, web browsing, etc), the screen will freeze, and the mouse/keyboard appear to be inoperable, so it is impossible to go to a virtual desktop, etc. Only a hard reboot brings the PC back, and there are no logs, core dumps, etc.

We've been trying to eliminate sources, and have seen the fault on the following combinations:

* AMD/Intel
* A variety of graphics hardware (e.g. nvidia, intel 945)
* nvidia drivers (various versions), and nouveau
* Gnome 3 in normal and fallback mode
* rpms from the initial F15 release, and also after a full yum update (last week).

We have not been able to correlate the lock-up with particular usage patterns or system load. Sometimes, the desktop will be usable for a day or more, and other times, we may see three lockups in an hour.

There is a bug on this matter:

I am raising the matter here to see, because I am puzzled as to why we are experiencing it on all platforms, and yet it does not seem to be so prevalent in the wider community.

Fedora :: Can't Boot After Installing Graphics Drivers

Fedora Hardware :: Can't Find ATI Graphics Drivers For Version 12

Mar 9, 2010

I have been searching for ages for graphics drivers for my ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 graphics card. I have several software that need hardware accelerated 3D. I found several threads that deal with this issue, but none of them seems to help. I tried the following:

I rebooted after each one and I still cannot get any hardware accelerated 3D; it is as if I installed nothing.

Fedora :: Kernel Changed After Installing Nvidia Graphics Drivers

Jan 14, 2010

im having an intel E2180 processor with 2 gb RAM and an nvidia 8400gs graphics card. Lately i installed Fedora 12 on my system and found that with default settings the desktop 3d is not working. so installed the kmod-nvidia using yum after following the instruction.i also edited the grub.conf file to rdblacklist=nouveau to blacklist nouveau drivers.

Then once i rebooted i found two kernels in grub ie the old one and the one with PAE extension. when i booted into the old kernel its Xwindows failed to load showing a black screen and when i tried the new PAE kernel it booted in 640 x 480 resolution. {earlier i was getting a resolution of 1440 x 900 on my 17" widescreen monitor}. it also showed that the nvidia drivers failed to load. I also read in some forums that the PAE kernels are for systems with 4gb+ of ram. So i thought it better to reinstall the whole thing.
then i reinstalled the whole operating system using my fedora 12 dvd and performed the 'upgrade or replace the existing linux distribution'. interestingly now my older kernel has disappeared and the PAE kernel is the one that is remaining.

Fedora Hardware :: Graphics Card - Install Proper Drivers First?

Jan 29, 2010

I want to install a new graphics card, Nvidia Geforce 9400 GT, into my system running Fedora 12, x86_64.

* Should I install the hardware into the system first?
* Or should I download the proper drivers and install them first, before hardware?
* Do I need to disable or remove drivers for my integrated graphics card (Integrated NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE graphics) before I do anything?

Fedora Installation :: After Installing Graphics Drivers Computer Not Booting Into 14

Jan 22, 2011

I recently switched my primary desktop over from Windows 7 to Fedora 14. I successfully installed the OS on to my hard drive and booted up, following which I installed all of the updates and rebooted. After my first reboot I downloaded the 10.11 Radeon driver and installed it (because the 10.12 was having an md5 hash issue), the install was (supposedly) successful, but when I restarted my computer it first progresses to this screen (copied from softpedia) and then goes black for a second, and then returns to that screen and halts at the end of the progess bar and does nothing. I am looking for help to get back into my system.

Fedora :: NVidia Drivers Installed - Graphics Errors Using Firefox

Sometimes, in Firefox, after looking a video and closing the corresponding tab, a still picture of the video appears in other tabs, even in some other applications than Firefox (e.g. Terminal). I've installed the nvidia drivers on Fedora 14. They seem to work properly.

Fedora :: Graphics In The Program Maple Doesn't Work Properly With The Default Drivers

Nov 1, 2009

I had originally followed the advice at Mauriat Miranda's Fedora Nvidia Driver Install Guide [URL] for installing nvidia's display driver on my HP Pavilion system 64 bit running Fedora 11. I had used his first method which just installs the relevant kernel module kmod-nvidia from RPMFusion. He also suggested an alternate method: obtaining Nvidia's installer NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.36-pkg2.run and using that. I downloaded it from Nvidia, but I didn't run it.

I recently lost X. This had happened previously after a kernel upgrade, and I just used grub to boot an earlier kernel to recover X, and then installed the upgraded kernel module to fix the problem. But this time, being deeply involved in something else, I panicked slightly, and, using dumb terminal mode I ran the Nvidia installer. It asked me to make various choices and in response to my answers, it decided to compile a new kernel module. This recovered X, but I then compounded things by installing the updated kmod-nvidia.

I realized afterwards that using both methods might create some conflicts, but X seemed to run properly. (I can tell because graphics in the program Maple doesn't work properly with the default drivers provided by Fedora 11.) Since then, when I restart nvidia, I get.

Fedora Hardware :: Enable The Gnome Shell With An AMD 6950 Graphics Card And The Default 15 Drivers?

May 25, 2011

how to enable the Gnome Shell with an AMD 6950 graphics card and the default Fedora 15 drivers? I may try the AMD Catalyst proprietary drivers but from history those usually lag behind the Fedora versions. I also read some people had issues with the current AMD Catalyst drivers in the Catalyst guide thread.

Also, the AMD 6950 graphics card fan is at full speed all the time in Fedora 15. I do believe you can with the Catalyst drivers using aticonfig but was wondering about the default Fedora 15 drivers?

Ubuntu :: Freezes The Graphics Get A Bit Messed Up + Bug At Startup

Apr 23, 2010

I am trying to install Xubuntu on a old toshiba satellite A55. I threw in the live CD and did the try without any changes to your computer. The starts to load, when it finishes loading, and I can finally start poking around it freezes right away. When it freezes the graphics get a bit messed up, little ghost images next to their actual image appear (like a second icon of the same thing slightly offset, and blue/white) I had the same problem with Mint. Only thing I have been able to get running is puppy linux.

Laptop info:
Celeron M CPU
roughly 750mb ram
ata-100 western digital drive

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 - Computer Freezes On Reconfiguring Graphics

May 3, 2010

Yesterday I updated my computer from 9.10 to 10.04. When I restarted my computer it appeared this message:
Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode. The following error was encountered. You may need to update your configuration to solve this.
(EE) No devices detected.

After that, it comes a window with the question "What would you like to do?" and 5 options...
Run UBUNTU in low-graphics mode.
Reconfigure graphics.
Troubleshoot the error.
Exit to console login.
Restart X

I'm going now with the first option, because I used to reconfigure graphics but my computer freezes with no aparent reason in the login window. I have a HP Pavilion 7956.

Ubuntu :: Ati Graphics Drivers Don't Appear To Work?

Aug 18, 2010

While trying live usb versions of different gnome and kde distributions, i noticed very unusable performance, however since i read that live media versions of linux did not perform well, i merely assumed that was the reason.

The sad thing is though, i installed ubuntu 10.4 x64 and i am still having the same problems. The only way to get the system slightly usable is to completely disable desktop effects. However, even then, it sort of feels like windows xp before you have installed graphics drivers - like it's not using the hardware at all.

Even the little fish screensaver is basically unrunnable.

My graphics card is an ati radeon x1950 pro AGP version. I read on their site that they only support up to x-org 11.4 and i heard that the linux distributions as of now are beyond that - so i cannot install the official drivers for it (whether they are any good anyway?). I saw in the package manager there are radeonhd drivers also, but i didn't really know what these are and this card is before ati started making their hd series.

So basically, i don't really know what to do or where to turn to in regards to this.

Some other small, unrelated questions are:

How can i increase the amount scrolled with each click of my scroll wheel so it's equivalent to windows? it seems to be one line at the moment, where as in windows i think it is something like 3 - whatever the case, it seems painfully slow.

Also, of my 5 button intellimouse explorer, strangely, the extra forward and back buttons seem to work, but the middle click button doesn't - or at least, holding it in and dragging the mouse to scroll doesn't seem to work - or should it be used for something different in linux?

Ubuntu :: Can't Boot Up After Graphics Drivers

Jan 29, 2011

I made my Ubuntu-server(with GNOME desktop) unbootable after playing with the binary drivers for nvidia(my card is gtx 470). I was able to use it in the past with the proprietary drivers, but somehow I tweaked some settings, tried to install new drivers etc and actually I don't remember much of what I did because I had finals at school so my ubuntu install just remained unbootable like that. All I know is that I can't even boot in recovery mode (command line). I tried to boot with a live cd, chroot into the ubuntu partition and fix the graphics but it didn't work.

Ubuntu :: Enabling Graphics Drivers In 11.04?

Mar 12, 2011

I'm using an ATI Radeon HD 6850, and although drivers aren't enabled, 11.04 fits my resolution, and has animation/shadows. I need to enable drivers so games like Minecraft will run better. Whenever I install the drivers, 11.04 fails to load, or it'll just give me a barrage of glitches. How can I install the latest ATI Drivers for Ubuntu 11.04?

Ubuntu :: Use Older Graphics Drivers With 11.04?

Jun 13, 2011

For me, Ubuntu 11.04 can only use "software rasterizer" with Open GL. I think this is possibly because I have to disable kernel mode-setting on my PC and the new drivers with 11.04 need KMS to work. Though that's just my guess. In Ubuntu 10.04 hardware accelerated OpenGL works fine with KMS off. So does anybody know how I can use those older drivers in 11.04? OR Does anybody know how to make Ubuntu 11.04's drivers work with KMS disabled?

Debian Hardware :: AMD Drivers 11.7 And 11.8 Freezes System

Aug 18, 2011

As the title says, I have tried both of them and they both freeze my system with no apparent reason. They freeze by just looking at them in the fist few minutes after startup and a hard reboot is needed. So I keep coming back to 11.6. Does anyone else have the same problem or is it just my system? By the way I have an HD 6970 in an AMD CPU based system running squeeze. And the reason why I keep installing new drivers and don't stick with 11.6 is a futile hope that anti-aliasing will work with compiz enabled.

OpenSUSE :: PC Speed Under 11.4 - Radeon Graphics Drivers From YaST

Jul 28, 2011

I've recently managed to install 11.4 with both Gnome 2.32 and KDE 4.6, moving from 11.3. However, there seems to be a significant speed degradation in terms of opening applications, switching windows, clicking on links etc. I have installed the Radeon graphics drivers from YaST, without much success. IMHO, Gnome seems slightly faster than KDE; however, it's still not great.

My machine worked well with 11.3 and seemed to be going pretty well; however, I wanted new and shiny, so. The PC has an AMD dual-core chip (can't remember the exact spec). Alternatively, is there good benchmarking software I could try to see if I can get an idea of my real speed?

OpenSUSE Install :: Restoring Default Graphics Drivers ?

Booting into safe mode doesn't give me a GUI.

I want to try to reinstall the ATI proprietary drivers eventually. I have them on the hard drive, but I have had no luck installing them using the CLI so far.

Ubuntu :: Hardware - Unable To Get The Drivers For My Graphics Card

Feb 14, 2010

I just installed Ubuntu 9.10, and it seems I'm unable to get the drivers for my graphics card. I know they exist, as I've downloaded them before (I switched back to Windows for a short period. Bad idea there. :/), and I know they work fine, but when I go to "System > Administration > Hardware Drivers" (where I've always gotten them from), they aren't there.

The only difference between this install and my old one, is that I used a USB drive to install, instead of a disk (I had run out).

Although I did have to change to boot order in the BIOS to get it to boot into the drive, I don't think that's the issue.
