OpenSUSE Hardware :: How To Determine If 3D Accel Is Activated
May 20, 2010
I've read and re-read NVIDIA the hard way but before I do this I was hoping to get a few items cleared up for the text.
First: I have 11.2 installed and the latest reference is to 11.1. Can I assume comments about 11.1 pertain to 11.2?
Second: There's a line about using Sax2 that states: "With 10.0 you won't need to specify -m 0=nvidia any more, sax automatically detects and uses it if you activate 3D acceleration."
I had to use the sax2 -r -m 0=nv to get my display to use the nv driver. Won't I need to do the same for 11.2?
And how do I determine if 3D accel is activated? Is that a selection in a dialog that occurs during the sh NVIDIA-yada-yada.run -q execution or what?
I booted the 11.3 live cd (KDE) and it worked great, so I installed openSUSE. After installation my video acted funny - the screen would occasionally blank when I opened a window, moved or resized a window, etc. It's as if the video driver decided to redraw the entire screen.
So I rebooted the live CD to see what was different and noticed this:
So it seems the 3D driver is an issue. Is there a way I can tell SUSE to just use the swrast 3D driver?
I loaded open suse 11.2 from download nothing works, an error comes up kde nepomuk not activated. And I cant do any thing in yast2, everything comes back to the error.
im using opensuse 11.2 with kde and im having problems to use desktop effects differents from those default ones. For exemple, I cant enable the desktop cube! i check the box and click apply.... but nothing changes, even restarting the system. Maybe my graphics card is not working well..
I've got an embedded cs4235 sound chip and am trying to use the module cs4236 fom ALSA. I have installed the "ASA update" stuff from SuSE and I have worked through all the troubleshoooting stuff. The parameters I'm giving to the 4236 module are: port=0x060c cport=0x0120 mpu_port=-1 (disable) fm_port=0x0388 irq=5 dma1=1 dma2=0 isapnp=0 However, the module insert fails with the following error messages placed in /va/log/messages:
Feb 7 20:51:46 AKU kernel: [ 5887.488022] ALSA wss_lib.c:221: in: auto calibration time out - reg = 0x18 Feb 7 20:51:46 AKU kernel: [ 5887.488022] ALSA wss_lib.c:204: out: auto calibration time out - reg = 0x18, value = 0x8f Feb 7 20:51:46 AKU kernel: [ 5888.549570] cs423x-pnpbios 01:01.00: activated
Few days ago formatted away winxp at office and installed OpenSUSE 11.2. In winxp USB speed was fine (actually full speed of my SDHC card using card-reader), but in SUSE it's about 1.13 MB/s.
The strange thing is - I have the same version of SUSE at home, on both desktop and laptop, with the only difference in kernel - at home both are default kernel, and desktop kernel at office.
Should I try default kernel and is there any way to determine the source of the problem?
I have an HP Laserjet 3.I can use it in normal Windows mode, or as a Postscript printer.it is an older printer, but it is still listed in the driver database. The cups setup tool cannot autodetect this printer. Also, if I select the actual driver for this printer, the cups tool still reports that no printer has been selected. I cannot add that driver for some reason. So, now I have to become an expert in cups configuration. Where is the cups HOWTO? Not in the SuSE howto section. Online? A little support there, but not SuSE specific. Does this local printer need to be a "network" printer? If so, how to I determine what internet address to use?
I can not get the Nvidia closed source driver to work..when i open the "Additional Drivers" it says that the driver is activated but not currently in use. Another problem...I can not see my grub nor the Plymouth screen.
I am trying to get my new computer to work with the proprietary nvidia drivers, but unfortunatly I am having some troubles. When I activate the nvidia drivers in jockey and restart the computer, the DE fails to load unity, and no compositing is actually being done. When I check jockey, it says:
"this driver is activated but not currently in use" I have an NVIDIA GT 550M. I can use unity with nouveau, however there are some problems that I have noticed, like not resuming from sleep and some freezing, which I suspect is a result of the open source drivers(could be fixed in an update later). But does anyone know how to get the proprietary drivers to work in the mean time?
I've got an issue where my nvidia drivers won't activate, which is a fairly large problem on my Asus G60VX. The reason it bugs me most is because it won't let me use a second monitor while the drivers aren't activated.
Here's my issue.
Now, I already tried going into Synaptic and removing all NVidia stuff manually, and then reinstalling, but this didn't fix my problem.
I just installed natty today after erasing the previous maverick and windows dual boot.Everything works fine.But there is one problem .The propriety driver for Nvidia seems to be activated but not in use.I still get unity desktop,(couldn't get it before installing the propriety driver).I have tried removing and activating it again but it ended up the same again.I know that this problem has been encountered lot of times,but I searched everywhere and didn't find anything.
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0846:9040 NetGear, Inc.So I think it's correctly recognizing it, but for some reason it won't identify it as a wireless USB NIC. I'm trying to install without a wired connection (several rooms away from a wire, and this is an old tower), so any help there would be nice, if not, then any advice on what to do when I get it hardwired would be nice. I have the Live CD to try this with. I also have a second CD/DVD, and have it installed/working on XP on the box (which after I get wireless working I'll be replacing),so I have the .inf file if anyone can direct me to using ndiswrapper for it. Let me know what else you need to know.
System-->Admin-->Hardware Drivers States my STA driver is activated, but not in use... ug. having so many wireless issues with 10.04 i've been pulling my hair out for a week now. I assume this is why it says my network UNCLAIMED as well.
Haven't been able to boot here lately. Installed Lucid Lynx via Wubi. Tried reinstalling grub, with no avail. Tried using Lilo and now it says I have no activated partitions. I can only boot if I use a LiveCD or Super Grub Disk to find my Windows XP Loader. Here is my results.txt from the boot info script:
I have loaded oracle 10g. I have made a shell namely Menu and copied it inside the /home/oracle directory. In the .bash_profile, entry has been made sh ./Menu. I want to execute this Menu whenever I login as oracle user.My system does not executeell. However, I am able to activate this shell by typing sh ./Menu from $ prompt
I have laptop lenovo T43 with FC11. The wireless is not getting activated (the lamp is not glowing). When I boot to windows, it is glowing. I have tried everything - used iwconfig etc to set parameters etc etc., all without any result, the wireless stubbornly remains in sleep mode. With this in off state, I can not even scan for the networks. When I try to activate it through System->Administration->Network, it says cable unplugged.
How to make plasma KDE activated in FC15 i have ZOTAC NVIDIA GE force 8400 GS graphics card. i have installed it as given in one of thread in this forum. But now how to make KDE windows transparent in FC 15.
A friend of mine is running Ubuntu. He used to run Windows XP, but he kept destroying it completely, and I soon got tired of fixing it for him. So I setup Ubuntu, and we're both happier people for it.BUT! The other day he asked me to setup a VPN (PPTP) connection to his workplace, which I promptly did. It also just works, except for one minor problem: When he fires up the VPN connection, I lose the ability to connect to his computer over SSH. As soon as he shutdown the VPN connection, I can once again log in over SSH.I use the SSH connection for basic maintenance and for tunneling port 5900 so I can assist him over VNC.
His nic is setup with DHCP. Gateway is 192.168.57.1. Port 22 is NAT'ed to 192.168.57.2, which is the IP his computer is assigned by the router (it's reserved to his MAC address).
When he connect the VPN, a new interface is created with the IP 192.168.1.32. I'm very much _not_ a network expert. I can manage the very basic stuff, but beyond that I'm quite lost.
as the majority of ubuntu 10.04 users I had problems with setting up wireless internet connection too. After reading many forum topics I somehow managed to set up the connection.Now the only problem is that when I restart computer wireless connection is no longer working. Each time I boot Ubuntu I have to go to System>Administration>Hardware Drivers, remove Broadcom STA wireless driver and then install it again. Otherwise the wireless connection is not working and under Broadcom STA wireless driver this message is written:
I'm going to start with Gen'l Help then maybe slide over to security. Twice recently, when shutting down for the night, I've noticed a Guest Session has been activated on my system. Since I'm the only one using this machine, I'm naturally curious. Can anyone out there explain how Guest Session works and if it can be activated remotely... or otherwise explain how the check mark next to "Guest Session" might be activated?
So i installed Ubuntu 10.10 did updates all was fine. when i went to activate the nvidia driver it install but upon restart i lost my GUI. I have a nvidia ion next gen graphics card. Running desktop 10.10 with intel atom dual core and 2gb of ram
NOTES: 1.) sudo service gdm start states that the gdm service is already running
2.) ctr + alt + f7 does nothing and along with that all the other alt + f keys do not have a GUI
3.) i can log in and use the OS via command line
4.) other things i have tried is the sudo apt-get install nvidia-current just led to the same results
I've been into Linux since about 6 months, & I love it. Thanks to everyone....
Anyway, Due to the bad habit of windows habits, I've many Desktop Icons on my Desktop. I ALREADY KNOW HOW TO HIDE THEM. I know both the ways for hiding them...
BUT, the problem is, whenever I hide Icons, the desktop RIGHT CLICK DROP-DOWN MENU goes too!! There's no right click menu then. But as soon as I activate SHOW DESKTOP ICONS, the menu comes back... Pretty obvious why. But how can I prevent it???
I need HIDDEN desktop icons, ALONG with DESKTOP RIGHT CLICK MENU. SO, my dear fellows, please enlighten me. WHAT SHOULD/CAN I DO?
I bought Sony vivo c series laptop and I tried to install ubuntu 10.10 version on it.After installed ubuntu the ethernet device was not activated. But It's working fine with wireless network. Similar problem I faced with older version 10.04 also.
