Hardware :: Debian Lenny - Nvidia GTX280 - Driver Version 195 - Compiz Fusion - Shell-Caracters

Sep 8, 2010

I have installed Debian Lenny and the Driver for an NvidiaCard GTX280. As this card is not supported by the debian-repositories, i have installed the driver from the nvida-Site. It works ok, but there's one thing: When i have compiz fusion activated, the caracters in the shell are sometimes hidden (pls see attachment).

Fedora Hardware :: NVIDIA 195.36.24 Does Not Work With GeForce GTX280 On F13

May 28, 2010

I just installed F13, congrats to the community for the awesome work - everything worked straight out of the box .

Unfortunately, I need to install the proprietary NVIDIA driver for my job (CUDA stuff). I first installed F13 + kmod-nvidia from Fusion on a machine with a GeForce 7200GS, and everything works ok (after turning nouveau off).

Then, I proceeded to update another machine featuring a GeForce GTX280 (again, nouveau blacklisted). The install was apparently successful, but X turned out to be extremely unstable and always crashes a few seconds into the session, either by leaving a blinking screen or by causing the machine to reboot. Thinking that some file might have ended up corrupted, I reinstalled F13 and tried nvidia-graphics from ATrpms. The result was the same: computer hanging a few seconds into the X session. Finally, I installed from the NVIDIA sh package, and again same outcome .

The card is most likely ok because I ran it with F10 till yesterday flawlessly, so I can only guess that it is the new version of the driver coming broken from NVIDIA. I tried installing version 185.18.36 but it cannot figure out the version of my kernel headers, and the legacy versions available from the repos do not support the GTX 280, so I cannot be positive about version 195.36.24 being bugged.

Both machines are x86_64 (a Phenom II and a Core i7). Especially, does anyone know how I could get version 185.18.36 to run on F13?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Compiz And Text Lag With NVIDIA Driver 270.18

Jan 25, 2011

Ever since I upgraded my video driver (the proprietary NVIDIA drivers) to 270.18, I have been experiencing lag when typing and when using Compiz as my WM. I can work around both problems by switching the WM to Metacity, but obviously I don't want to continue using that. I have tried changing my Compiz settings but to little avail. If you want my OS and graphics card, the OS is Ubuntu 10.10 and the graphics card is a NVIDIA GT 330M.

I have just upgraded to Fedora 13, and am trying to use the experimental Nvidia driver to enable Compiz desktop effects. The driver appears to be working correctly, but when I enable desktop effects, my text/icons/option menus are inverted (mirrored on both x and y axis's). Can anyone help me solve this issue? am i going to have to go to the proprietary Nvidia graphics driver?

Software :: Compiz-config And Workspaces - NVidia Driver ?

Feb 13, 2011

A couple of issues with compiz. I'm setting up Debian Squeeze on a new-to-me laptop. Video card is nVidia Quadro FX 570M.

I installed the nVidia non-free driver, and that's working fine. Compiz starts up ok (I say "compiz --replace"). At least some of the effects are working, and the windows look normal.

First issue: as soon as I start Compiz, the number of workspaces goes from 4 to 2. And Workspace Switcher Preferences (the thing that pops up when you right-click the workspace switcher in the Gnome Panel) no longer shows the controls for changing the number of workspaces.

Is there is a way to change the no. of workspaces using gnome configuration editor? That might be a good workaround.

The second issue is, compizconfig-settings-manager will not run, whether Compiz is running or not. I don�t know if it would run before I installed the nVidia driver (Compiz wouldn't run so there was no reason to try CCSM). When I try to start it from the menu, I get the spinning cursor for several seconds, and that's all. When I say "ccsm" in a console...

Code:

I dont think the locale error is the problem. I get locale warnings all the time, like when I use apt-get, but it doesnt stop the program from running. But I could be wrong about that.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Nvidia - Driver Is Activated But Not Currently In Use (compiz Fails)

Aug 25, 2011

I have a geforce 8400GS and nvidia-current installed. However, the Additional Drivers app advises that "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system" and that the driver is activated but not in use. I know other people have complained about this problem, but for me this is breaking 3D content and I can't get compiz to work either. When I try to start compiz manually (compiz --replace), I get this error:

Code: compiz (code) - Fatal: Couldn't open display My Xorg has nvidia as device driver. I'm using the NVIDIA X Server settings program to setup my two monitors, so I know that this is what is in use. In addition to the compiz problem (which I can get over), sometimes I can see the desktop background through the active window. It's hard to explain so I'll take a screenshot when it happens again. Things I've tried:

1. Installing nvidia's latest drivers - The installer was extremely picky, constantly complaining about other modules and drivers. After I finally managed to remove everything it didn't like and install it, X wouldn't load.

2. Reinstall nvidia-current - tried multiple times with no change.

3. Link /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so to /usr/lib/nvidia-current/xorg/libglx.so.270.41.06 - didn't make a difference.

Ubuntu :: Compiz Do Not Auto-start After Nvidia New Driver Upgrade

Dec 1, 2009

I'm a Karmic user, using a Nvidia Geforce 9500GT video Card.

I'm telling you about my GPU, because since I upgraded to the 190.42 Nvidia "official" new drivers, what's happening is:

My Compiz is no more able to save it's configuration across the sessions, and every time I close my PC or when I simply need to restart my active session, Compiz needs to be started again manually, It do not auto-activate by the compiz setting preferences.
Doing: System --> Preferences --> gnome-appearance-properties (TAB: "Visual effects") and click on "normal" checkbox, to activate the compiz visual effects.

Is there anyone able to teach me how to save the compiz activation, in order to avoid the manual, boring, repetitive, activation each time?

Fedora :: Amarok Version Mismatch Detected (NVidia Driver)

Jun 19, 2010

I attempted to run amarok from the menu and found it would never start there was no activity, I then tried to start it from the command line and I recieved this error..

Version mismatch detected between the NVIDIA libGL.so
and libGLcore.so shared libraries (libGL.so version:
195.36.31; libGLcore.so version: 195.36.24).
Please try reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.

This is a fresh install of Fedora 13, the kmod-nvidia drivers were just fixed I assume cause I tried to install them for a few days and they would fail. Well I guess they finally fixed the Nvidia drivers for 2.6.33.5-124.fc13.x86_64 but it has broken amarok..

CentOS 5 Hardware :: Get Updated NVidia Video Driver For 5.5 Version?

Jan 27, 2011

What is the best place to get an updated nVidia video driver for CentOS 5.5? Is there a CentOS package available that will update it? Or is it best to download it directly from nVidia? Also, I do not have an internet connection on the machine, so it will have to be a manual download and installation.

Ubuntu :: Compiz Fusion With 10.04 ?

Sep 14, 2010

I run the final version of Lucid Lynx and have a 9800gt.

I followed the following procedure to install compiz (and I want compiz, not just the built in desktop effects) on my computer, all sudo with KDM disabled where necessary:

1. apt-get install nvidia-current

2. nvidia-xconfig

3. apt-get install build-essential libxcomposite-dev libpng12-dev libsm-dev libxrandr-dev libxdamage-dev libxinerama-dev libstartup-notification0-dev libgconf2-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libmetacity-dev librsvg2-dev libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libgnome-desktop-dev libgnome-window-settings-dev gitweb curl autoconf automake automake1.9 libtool intltool libxslt1-dev xsltproc libwnck-dev python-dev python-pyrex <- these were prerequisites mentioned by the guide on compiz.org

4. apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-kde compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra emerald

At this point, everything installed successfully, and nvidia driver was working perfectly.

I verified this: desktop effects worked OOB.

5. compiz --replace &

6. emerald --replace &

At this point, compiz apparently started. Emerald worked perfectly: all of the window decorations worked OOB. I went and ran ccsm, and turned on quite a few settings. It didn't enable ANYTHING. When I reran ccsm, all of the settings were back to default, and enabling any new ones had no effect on window behavior. Strange. I looked on the web and found:[url]

The ubuntu page said that I should not "Enable integration into the desktop environment" if gconf was selected. BUT THE FLAT FILE CONFIGURATION WAS SELECTED BY DEFAULT. Then I went back to the site and it said flat file configuration was recommended!

Maybe I shouldn't have enabled desktop effects first (NOTE THAT I LATER DISABLED IT and things still did not work)?

Fedora :: Compiz Fusion - 3D Not Enabled

Mar 27, 2010

I was trying to install and run Compiz fusion with fedora 12. I downloaded all the packages etc using both the gui and terminal according to some guides. When I click the desktop effects button, it says 3d is not enabled, however the guide I followed said to enter glxgears (or something to that effect) and if it came up with 3d gears then 3d was enabled...I am very confused. There was an application I ran after downloading/installing some packages that caused the screen to go white and I had to reboot. I read in another forum this may have something to do with my drivers...gotta check my graphics card specs, will post when I find them.

Fedora :: How To Get Compiz Fusion To Work

Sep 17, 2010

I made a fresh install of Fedora 13, installed the video card driver for my video card. How do I get compiz fusion to work and what do I need to install? when I enable desktop effects the system panels disappear. Also I'm looking to install that effects editor that has all the different effects menus.

Okay I think I got the menu loader and Compiz working.. for those who browse to this thread.. the answer is. yum install compiz-fusion fusion-icon the desktop cube was a little tricky to get working.

However if I enable desktop effects fromt he preferences menu the system panels still disappear.

Debian :: Nvidia On Lenny Only Allows 640x480 Resolution

Apr 23, 2009

I've finally managed to get the nvidia driver on my Lenny box. However I've now found that I can't change resolution from 640x480, the nvidia panel shows this and 320x240 as the only resolution. The layout shows "hidden as under 600 pixels" If I go to gnome screen resolutions it only shows 640x480. If I plug a second monitor in it won't detect it.
I'm using NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.51-pkg1.run, older versions appear not to work with Lenny crashing x on boot. How to change resolution on the nvidia in Lenny?
