OpenSUSE Hardware :: Installing The Property ATI Driver ?

Apr 19, 2011

I have a Dell Laptop Studio 1735 with an ATI Radeon HD3650 installed and OpenSuse 11.3.

The other features are:

My intention is to install the property driver as showed in the following link

Upgrading ATI driver with atiupgrade

But before, I would like to ask you few questions, because even after having read very carefully the post, I have some doubts:

1) Do I have to run the script in X or KDE?

2) Every time I updated the kernel (using the online updating for example), I understood that I must recompile the module fglrx.ko, with the script at the following address:

automatically recompile kernel modules after kernel update

Or I will get a lof of video issues. The file fglrx.ko will be created in the following path:

/lib/modules/2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop/extra/fglrx.ko

3) I must be sure that in the file /etc/X11/Xorg.conf, the parameter Driver must be setup to fglrx and not radeonhd.

Unfortunately, in my computer this file does not exist, what I found is /etc/X11/Xorg.conf.install and as I reported below there is no trace of a Driver parameter.

Code:

As you can see there is no "Driver" parameter. Is it a problem?

4) In the case something will go wrong, can I roll back to my previous driver?

5) Do I always type the command atiupgrade - - initial, the first time I perform the installation?

OpenSUSE :: Failed To Retrieve Property `GtkTreeView::odd-row-color'?

Aug 22, 2011

I've updated to OpenSuse 11.3 (zypper dup) and now I cannot use seamonkey or firefox application. It freeze, even with -safe-mode.
I get a gtk message error when launching this application in a terminal with GTK_DEBUG set :

Gtk-Message: /usr/share/themes/Sonar/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:48: failed to retrieve property `GtkTreeView:dd-row-color' of type `GdkColor' from rc file value "((GString*) 0x2aaf778da760)" of type `GString'

OpenSUSE :: Installing Windows Driver Via Ndiswrapper?

Feb 11, 2010

I am using ndisinstaller in openSUSE 11.2 to re-install a Windows driver. This is equivalent to ndisgtk in Ubuntu and is a GUI to help installing Windows driver via ndiswrapper. Note that you have to locate the .INF driver file in Windows partition, not Linux partition, or else ndisinstaller won't work. When I open ndisinstaller as root, it asks me if I want to re-use an "existing instance of ndiswrapper" or eliminate this manually.

If I choose "reuse existing ndiswrapper instance", the driver installation works but writing the module seems take forever. So my question is how do I eliminate an existing instance of ndiswrapper by hand? Please note that prior to using ndisinstaller, I have already removed any existing drivers and ndiswrapper modules to make a clean slate.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Installing A CP210x Driver On 11.2?

Apr 9, 2010

I need to install a driver for a CP2101 USB/Serial device. I read somewhere that it's part of the kernel and was hoping I could download and automatically install it. I found this page:

/var/www/html/linux/RPM/opensuse/11.2/x86_64/lib_modules_2.6.31.5-0.1-trace_kernel_drivers_usb_serial_Tree.html

Which gave me great hope, but I have absolutely no clue what it means or what to do with it.

Anyway, I was hoping someone could tell me how to install this driver. Very new to Linux and trying to avoid compiling if possible... lost in the woods very quickly.

If compiling is the answer, then I need help there too. I downloaded the Linux driver kit from Silicon Labs web site, followed the installation instructions, ran into an error and quickly bailed. The error is:

LD/cp210x-3.0.0 M=/var/tmp/silabs/rpmbuild/BUILD/cp210x-3.0.0 modules make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop/build: No such file or directory.

Which makes sense in that there isn't a /lib/modules/2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop/build directory but didn't help much with the driver install.

linux-nsxk:/usr/src/cp210x-3.0.0 # ./makerpm
++ uname -r
+ kernel_release=2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop
++ pwd

[Code].....

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Terminal Installing Driver ?

Jul 15, 2010

Okay I've used an X11 Terminal on MAC OS to compile programs but never a driver. I'm now using SUSE 11.3 (first linux to install on my toshiba correctly). Alas I need help telling the terminal what to do. It came with instructions that the modules and firmware need to be set up or injected into the kerenal.

My Wireless Driver is: Realtek 8192SE driver version Linux: 2.6.0017.0507

My Computer is a Toshiba L505-ES5034.

Like I said I've compiled software in X11 before but never a driver. So first I navigate to the files using CD (change dir) and then what?

OpenSUSE :: Lost Fonts After Installing NVIDIA Driver?

Sep 23, 2010

I have installed SUSE 11.3 and I am using KDE4. I also installed the font "misc-console".

After installing the NVIDIA driver 256.53 the font misc-console becomes useless because it is displayed so much slanted that it is imposible to read. However, if I disable the NVIDIA driver (by replacing "nvidia" with "nv" in xorg.conf), then it works fine. It also works fine in KDE3 and the NVIDIA driver. So, it seems to be a combination between NVIDIA and KDE4. A lot other fonts are also overly slanted and unreadable (like "Sony fixed", "misc fixed", etc.).

If I launch konsole from a terminal, I receive the following warning:

konsole(6928) Konsole::TerminalDisplay::setVTFont: Using an unsupported variable-width font in the terminal. This may produce display errors.

Is there a way that I can use "misc-console" without having to uninstall the NVIDIA driver? I'm just used to this font for my terminal.

The same happens whether I install the driver manually or through YAST, 32 or 64 bit. The video card is NVIDIA 8400GS, the system Athlon 64 4400+

OpenSUSE Install :: Installing Driver At Time Of OS Installation

Aug 4, 2011

Is it possible to install a video driver at the time of the installation of the operating system? I have made multiple installation attempts using the various 11.4 x64 live & non-live versions. As soon as I get past the splash screen with the boot options, the display becomes corrupt & continuing is impossible. I have attempted using the various video options under the F6 menu (text mode, vesa, safe mode) without success.

I am reasonably certain it is a failure of the video driver. I have observed the identical behaviour while installing MS Windows with the incorrect video driver. The video chipset manufacturer does provide a linux driver on their website. It is a .run file. I have the .run file on a USB stick along with the OS files. This is a link to the hardware platform I am attempting to install to. Is it possible that my video chipset has insufficient video memory?

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Installing External Graphics Adapter Driver?

Mar 6, 2010

I'm trying to install an external graphics adapter for dual-monitor setup, and according to the installation instructions, the driver is libdlo, which requires libusb v0.13. When I follow the installation instructions, I got an error saying I don't have libusb on my OpenSUSE 11.2. The exact installation instructions is as follows:

Prerequisites:

* Install a compatible libusb version (0.13)
* on ubuntu - "sudo apt-get install libusb"
* Plug in a compatible DisplayLink USB device

To start the build process, open a shell prompt (as the user who's home directory the libdlo is installed into) and change to the libdlo directory to run

$ ./configure
$ sudo make install
$ make check

Make check will do some basic drawing on the DisplayLink device. The 'sudo make install' step will have installed libdlo.h, the main header, in your local include directory, and libdlo in your local library.(The error message comes out at $ sudo make install).

I noticed it mentioned Ubuntu, does this mean that it will only work in Ubuntu and wont work in OpenSUSE? I'm not familiar with those commands in the instructions above, I can only guess them but don't really know what each line of the instruction does exactly. If libusb also applies to OpenSUSE, how can I get it installed on my system?

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Switch On 3d Acceleration Without Installing The Proprietary Driver From ATI/AMD?

Jul 26, 2011

I'm using openSuse 11.3 with KDE 4.4.4. My graphics card is an Asus EAH 5450 with an ATI radeon HD 5450 GPU. I'm using the opensource radeon driver. When I open sysinfo:/ in Konqueror, I see the following info:

Vendor: ATI Technologies Inc
Model:
2D driver: radeon
3D driver: swrast (No 3D Acceleration) (7.8.2))

How do I switch on 3d acceleration without installing the proprietary driver from ATI/AMD? I know this must be possible because on another computer, I have also openSuse 11.3 with KDE 4.4.4 and an ATI radeon HD 4350 installed and it has 3d enabled directly after installation of openSuse with the opensource radeon driver.

OpenSUSE Install :: Installing NVidia Driver For Geforce GTX 275 Fails

Aug 20, 2009

I have just installed openSUSE 11.1 64 bit on my system. Subsequently registered to get an auto-update repo and auto-updated until no more updates were offered. Then I first tried YaST to install NVidia drivers from the NVidia repo (added their repo), but sax2 wouldn't recognize them. So I downloaded their 190. (beta) drivers, installed the kernel source code and gcc 4.3. Then I switched to a console (Ctrl+Alt+F1), closed the x server, ran the driver install as described (gcc 4.3 is installed). Installer said that all is fine (I checked the log to be sure). So I ran sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia, but the driver still isn't recognized.

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Installing Driver / Configure - Won't Allow To Edit Or Paste Any Files Into The Folder

Dec 1, 2010

I just dual booted Open SUSE on my computer, and am pretty happy with it. But, in order to use my wireless card for it, I need to install a driver. The wireless card is a Realtek 8191 SE. I've downloaded a driver, but I have no idea how to configure it. I've tried pasting the files into /lib/firmware, but it won't allow me to edit or paste any files into the folder.

OpenSUSE Network :: Installing Driver Error - No Rule To Make Target `modules' - Stop

Apr 13, 2011

I am relatively new to linux and am running into a problem. I just got a new laptop and need to configure/install it's wireless driver but am getting an error when running "make". The error is: make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop/build' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop.

I have scoured these forums and know that others have the same issue (when configuring other drivers/programs). I am sorry if this post is redundant. It sounds like the Makefile is pointing to the wrong directory. I am using opensuse 11.4, have make and gcc installed. My kernel is linux-2.6.37.1-1.2 (I just re-installed the desktop kernel to make sure it was up to date). The driver I am trying to install is located here: AUR (en) - rtl8192ce.

Another forum suggests pointing somewhere in the /usr/src/linux-2.6.37.1-1.2 directory instead. Is this correct? Should I be pointing to a folder within this? I am not a programmer but any description about what I am actually putting in this directory and why would be awesome (so I can learn a bit more). Or just helping me solve the problem would be great too.

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Installing Wireless Driver With Ndiswrapper On 11.4 GNOME

Mar 20, 2011

I recently upgraded to OpenSUSE 11.4 GNOME on my ancient Compaq Armada E500 (Pentium II processor w/512MB of RAM) and now I'm trying to install my wireless driver with ndiswrapper. I've done this a couple of times before, but I'm having trouble getting ndiswrapper to find my driver. The driver is located in a folder on my desktop, but when I type the command 'ndiswrapper -i home/edwin/Desktop/WPC54G_40826/LSTINDS.INF' I get a message that there is no such file or directory at ndiswrapper's location, which is usr/sbin/ndiswrapper. So how do I get ndiswrapper either to look in the directory where the file is located or get a copy of LSTINDS.INF into the usr/sbin/ directory, which must be accessed as root?

Ubuntu :: Search The Notes Property Of Files/folders?

Jan 29, 2011

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and have a 2TB external hard drive where I store several hundred movies. Each movie is contained in its own folder (in case the movie is broken up into more than 1 file). All the movie folders are contained in one "Movies" folder, so a typical movie location would be something like:

/media/MyBook/Movies/The Matrix/The Matrix (disc1).avi

Because of this, my movies are in alphabetical order, which is nice if I'm looking for a specific movie, but I'd also like to classify each movie into one or more genres. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a certain type of movie, and don't want to just browse aimlessly through the alphabetical list. So for example, The Matrix might be classified as Action, Science Fiction, and Thriller. If I were to add these genres into the "Notes" property of a movie folder, is it possible to conduct a search for words only in these notes? So that if I did a search for "Thriller" this movie and any other movie I classified as a thriller would show up?

OpenSUSE Hardware :: How To Clear Proprietary NVidia Driver And Replace With Nouveau Driver

Jun 13, 2011

There is one thing missing (I think) a clear guide to clearing out Nvidia and replacing it with nouveau. For all but hardened gamers, nouveau on 11.4 delivers. It also removes one more barrier to what I think is the intended goad of Tumbleweed.The problem IMHO is not that there are no clear guides. The problem is there are too many. No sooner does one person do a guide (that is clear) and someone else who does not like some point writes another guide that they think is more clear (but in fact is less clear in other aspects). And this goes on ad infinitum.IMHO we have too many guides - many of which are sufficient clear ... but the VAST number only serves to confuse users more.

Having typed that, IMHO this is NOT a Tumbleweed specific issue, but its MUCH WIDER in scope and hence does not belong as a discussion in this Tumbleweed thread.
