I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and unable to connect to the internet. I went to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers and a window popped-up: "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system". So I selected the "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current) [RECOMMENDED]". But when I try to "Activate" I get this following error:
"failed to fetch [URL] temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com"
I know i know, some will say "eww Proprietary Drivers" but hey, ubunt is all about having more control of the OS. Is there an easy way to install Proprietary Drivers thats not through the hardware drivers option on system?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using ubuntu for quite a long time, and for the first time, I am now unable to set nvidia drivers to work. I have just install ubuntu 9.10 amd64 on an AMD 64 athlong X2 with a GEForce 6500 nvidia card.
The only reason I need the proprietary drivers is to use two monitors.
I am going crazy, I have tested everything I have found on the web. I have tried all the nvidia drivers version, I have tried envyng, ... but nvidia do not work!!
I am trying Xinerama with nv, but it does not work either!!!
Here is my xorg.conf file in which I have tried to use nv driver to set dual monitor. X fails to load and it says that screen 0 is deleted, that devices are found but there are no matches in the config file. Any clue?

I installed Xubuntu the other night (completely wiped machine) and started doing all the updates on it. After a couple of reboots, I changed from the proprietary drivers, to the regular nVidia drivers. After doing this, the startup logo is displayed at a really low resolution. Is there a simple fix to change this and use the nVidia drivers as well?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed Ubuntu today and when I go to Hardware Drivers it tells me that there are no proprietary drivers on this system and doesn't show any for me to activate. Oddly enough when I was running the live CD of Ubuntu I got a list of a few drivers to activate, namely the Broadcom STA Wireless Driver and the NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver (version 185).
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just built a new HTPC and decided to give Ubuntu a whirl again. I downloaded and installed 10.04, and set about configuring it. Everything looked great, except my audio over HDMI didn't work. I enabled the proprietary ATI drivers, and bam! the audio works! Great. Only one problem: there's a two inch border around my TV (not there with the open source drivers), and Boxee flashes colors rather than playing videos (a known bug. It's fixed by not using the ATI proprietary drivers). So, I disabled the drivers, rebooted, and the Boxee video works, the border/gap is gone, but once again the audio doesn't work. I've been through all the sound settings, and I have everything set to the HDMI output, but still nothing. I've tried various fixes I've found through googling
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm experiencing video lag in games. I'm using 10.04 lts 32 bit and the latest version of proprietary drivers. For example I play hon and so and then it freezes for a small period of time which is frustrating.
I don't understand, my specs are:
Under this specs it should run perfectly. What's the matter? Ati drivers have poor support under linux? I tried updating to 10.10 and nothing. I tried contacting customer supporot amd but they can't help me. Nice isn't it?
When I run the liveCD (which I'm on right now), it shows proprietary drivers for my wireless hardware. I installed 10.04 from the liveCD onto my laptop, and after the install, it says there aren't any drivers. Is there a way I can pull the drivers from the liveCD, or should I try a reinstall?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently bought a new PC and it has an AMD GPU. I've been using Catalyst because the open source radeon driver gave me poor performance in games (maybe by 12.04 I can use it ).I've had some updates show up recently. This brings me to wonder if I have anything at all to worry about. This is a production machine and I don't want to muck around with fixing issues brought on by my usual apt-get upgrade.Currently, I've been avoiding updating a few packages related to the Kernel and Xorg:
Code:
The following packages have been kept back:
linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic
The following packages will be upgraded:
linux-libc-dev xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon
3 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.I had an NVIDIA issue back on Ubuntu 8.04 after updating once, due to a kernel update. I had to revert to an older kernel and mess around a bit to fix my installation. I don't have any experience with Catalyst. Basically, I want input as to whether or not it's dangerous to update this sort of stuff. I don't want to mess around fixing issues caused by a rogue update

How do I install the proprietary drivers for an ASUS 901?
Im running wine and stuff that ran at full settings on my damn windows 98 computer are slow as balls. So I checked into drivers and it says I dont have any proprietary drivers installed and it didnt see any.
I installed Ububutu, tested my graphics card performance with glxgears, installed the proprietary fglrx drivers and get the same result. I was under the impression the proprietary drivers provided superior performance, is that not true?

When I click on the command which finds the drivers, I get no proprietary hardware is in use. How do I get ubuntu to recognize drivers?
View 2 Replies View RelatedJust upgraded to Lucid from Karmic. First thing I notice after restart is that I have no wireless. No big deal, I probably just need to re-install the proprietary drivers. I go to do this, and it gives me an error message, saying that the installation has failed. This has never happened before, and didn't happen when I upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic. I have an HP dv6 1230us and a Broadcom STA card.
I really need the internet to be working, and didn't anticipate that an upgrade, of all things, would screw it up...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using an Nvidia Geforce 6x card (can't remember the exact number). When I do not have the proprietary driver enabled, the Ubuntu logo and status bar, as well as various boot up messages, look very nice. They are scaled properly and I'm impressed with how they look. When I do enable the proprietary driver, the screen resolution during boot up is much smaller, and therefore everything looks ugly. The little status bar under the Ubuntu logo suddenly fills up and "freezes." The transition from login screen to desktop is jerky.
Unfortunately if I disable my card, I cannot use desktop effects or even view flash videos in full screen mode. (I'm assuming nouveau still has work to do.) Is there any way I can have proprietary drivers enabled and a nice boot up experience?
its pretty much my first install. I am duel booting with Vista. I followed the guidelines and made a partition for my Ubuntu install. Everything installed correctly, however, it tell you to activate drivers for my video card, then restart. After restart ubuntu will not boot, it just sits at the startup screen and does nothing, I waited like an hour just to make sure that it was not just installing more things. I have re-formatted my partition and am going to reinstall later. Oh, I installed 10.4.1.

It worked for me before with no problems, but now when I try to install any proprietary driver (using System >>Administration >>Hardware Drivers) I get an error message that says: "You are not authorized to perform this action". I am the only user and I have administrator privileges, so I do not know why I am getting this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIt's weird, but when I activate proprietary drivers my Ubuntu splash screen from gorgeous to ugly. For instance without the drivers my splash screen shows Ubuntu and the loading dots into amazing HD quality.However when the drivers are activated the quality becomes ugly, and text start appearing saying loading pulse audio, and other stuff. How can I make it gorgeous again?
View 2 Replies View RelatedFor a long time I had a problem with my geforce 6200 with instable signal and where the monitor all of a sudden would say 'no signal'. Moving the connector on the video card would get it back for a while. Bad contact was the conclusion but I found that I could still switch to a console and had a stable signal (so much for that conclusion). Decided to replace it with another nvidia based card (Leadtek Winfast PX8400GS) as that seemed the easiest. Installed it and started the system. After selecting Ubuntu in grub the system starts more or less (I get the walking dots) and (I guess) when the desktop should appear the I get a 'cable not connected' from the monitor; could also not switch to a console
Put old card back, and got similar issues (not being able to switch to console) Booted into recovery mode and disabled the driver; rebooted again and I ended with 1280x1024 resolution (lower resolution was expected); still instable video. Replaced the old card with the new one and it works (stable video, now on 800x600) Checked restricted drivers and they were in use ( ); wanted to 'disable' them but removed them and I don't see a way to get them back. Sorry for this long intro, but tried to be as complete as possible.
So first question: how do I get the restricted drivers back; references on the internet refer the (Synaptic) package manager but I don't see it there; probably blind Other questions might follow as I don't expect it to solve the issue. Any tips in advance are welcome as well (tried to do some research but did not quite find it yet) PS ASUS Motherboard, AMD Athlon 3000, 1GB RAM; running Ubuntu 10.04/64
I've just been trying to troubleshoot a problem by installing and activating the proprietary BCM4318 drivers instead of the ones that came with Maverick.I used System-Administration-Additional Drivers to install the new drivers. As far as I can tell from lsmod and URL... the new drivers are known as b43.It didn't occur to me to run lsmod prior to this, and now I'm curious - what would the non-proprietary drivers that came with Maverick have shown as in the lsmod output?
View 8 Replies View RelatedAfter using Arch Linux for a while, I tried Ubuntu 11.04 again. Most of it was a pleasant surprise, except for the nvidia drivers. I currently have the nouveau drivers, but when I activate the nvidia drivers and reboot, it's installed but not in use. I figured I should run nvidia-xconfig (as suggested by nvidia-settings) but that makes my computer boot into a tty. Removing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file makes it boot in nouveau again.
How do I install the Nvidia drivers? Ive tried the drivers from nvidia.com too, with the same results. I really want to be able to play my games, and nouveau just isnt going to cut it.
I just cannot adjust the brightness. When I use Gnome bar's brightness applet or the combination of keys on my laptop,the bar moves but there is no effect. Its too bright for me, I am getting blind for real.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm new -and inexperienced- Suse user, I have a new laptop with an ATI 5650 graphic card. I have been using the Radeon driver with very low performance for a while. this driver was installed following the "Xorg -configure" procedure as descibed in the forum. Today I installed the newly released driver from Ati. this is what I did:
1) in /etc/X11/xorg.conf I changed "radeon" with "fglrx"
2) I run the driver downloaded from the ATI website
3) I run the command "aticonfig --initial"
I'm no longer able to start the X server (the computer boots to full console) and I have no idea how to go forward. if I give the command "startx" I get a "segmentation error" and I go back to console can somebody point me in the right direction?
Fan Speed Not Adjusting with Proprietary ATI Drivers
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've tried a number of locations, that may have old proprietary ati drivers for the 9250 v/c (video card for any one who was wondering). currently using ubuntu 10.10, and from what I've read else where either my card is too old or my OS is too new. I have seen a few site (2 or 3) for old ati drivers, but they are for microsoft, not linux.
I went to the AMD web site down loaded and attempted to install the latest drive, but to no avail. I've used the software center provided by ubuntu, I have the latest drivers from them, unfortunately can't play any of the non-flash games, either using wine, plays on linux and cedega. From what I have read (and please correct me if I'm wrong) I need to install the old drivers provided by x.org xfree86 or ati.
I want to run both World of Warcraft and Steam under wine, but WoW won't work with the latest 195.x.x driver, and steam won't work with the previous 185.x.x driver.
Is it possible to have both installed, and to switch between them as needed for different applications? Or will I really have to choose between one or the other?
I'm sure this must have been asked a hundred times yet searching the forums produces no hits whatsoever on this subject.
I want to install the 3D accelerated closed drivers for my ATI card but I can't seem to find them in the repositories, is there no easy way to install these drivers for CentOS? I can't find anything in the Wiki on this subject either.
oops I tell a lie i just found something on the Wiki, I'll give it a try.
