Ubuntu :: Graphics Freezing For Short Durations In 3D Accelerated Programs?
Feb 22, 2011
I use a program that has 3D graphics everything has a 'laggy' appearance and freezes for short seconds. These programs included any of the games from Ubuntu Software Center, along with other applications such as games ran through Wine(seperate problem).
Things to keep in mind:
-I've downloaded the automatic updates through Ubuntu Software Center.
-I'm fairly new to Ubuntu(still learning).
-Provide as many details in, if, you post a possible solution.
-I'm only using Ubuntu 10.10 as my OS, no dual-boots with Windows or any other OS.

I've been having a lot of problem with Linux concerning my intel830 chipset video driver. Fedora seems to have some kind of working Xorg configuration, but I cant prove it since I dont know where Xorg.conf is...
Anyway - When I try to get some kind of Desktop Effects, I get the error prompt "Accelerated 3d Graphics is not available." One reason why I think it might be doing this is because I may be using the VESA driver instead of intel, i830, or i810, etc. But again, I dont know how to check this.

I am a Ubuntu and LINUX newbie. Install goes easy but I can not get 3D accelerated graphics to work. So I am stuck with poor and slow graphics. I tried and tried with the ATI card and went back to make onboard the primary. Neither seems to allow for visual effects upgrade nor 3d graphics in games.
Here is lspci:

I have all of the code written for a text based game but how big of a leap is it from text to graphics? lets just say a 2d engine. Is this a fairly easy task or would it be a bit of effort? I've never done anything with graphics before and would just like a quick idea of how much of a project is graphics vs functionality.

I've come accross a problem after upgrading to Maverick. I use multiple desktops and I run multiple apps, in every desktop.
The problem is, it seems the apps which are running in the desktop which is not active freezes.. it happened twice that I launched a console application, and it started to run all ok (it was a scientific computation who takes 3-4 hours to get completed); I then switched to another desktop and left the pc, and after 10 hours I discovered that the app was still at the beginning of the simulation! The only explanation I have thought of is that the app is being paused by the system, but things like these never happened with previous versions of Ubuntu.. And the freeze does not happen instantly, but probably after a few minutes..

I am using Fedora 14, last month I installed ATI graphics driver on fedora 14, as I have 256 MB integrated graphics card on motherboard and now I uninstalled that graphics driver because that was'nt working properly. Now whenever I try to open Desktop Effects from System --> Preferences --> Desktop Effects it shows me the error "Accelerated 3D graphics is not available" Desktop effects require hardware 3D support.
Now please help me to solve this issue so that I can again able to run Desktop Effects.

Installed Archlinux 32 and 64 bit (dual boot) with I946GZ onboard graphics 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82946GZ/GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) Both oses work ok in the vt's and do use native resolution of wide LCD (with KMS enabled) When i start kdm both oses display distorted background image (of kdm) in th LCD's native resolution, DONT display the actual login window, and mouse won't move In the 64 bit system if i Alt Ctl F1 (to a vt) the display remains frozen on the kdm background, but the computer is responsive (e.g type 'init 6' and the computer reboots after few seconds etc)
In the 32 bit system the computer does not respond at all and appears frozen completely If i disable KMS (add 'nomodeset' in grub) most stuff works fine except the display only supports 720x400 in the vt's and 1024x768 1280x1024 in the desktop, and does not support opengl (kde desktop effects work ok with xrender though)

Several times in the last few days the desktop has frozen. I don't know if it's KDE issue or another conflict.All programs seem to continue running smoothly, but none of the menus on windows will work, or anything in the task manager, or desktop itself. I've tried killing the task manager but it doesn't affect the issue. If I knew what process was causing this, I might be able to restart it.

little bit of pipe action and using mediainfo I was able to create a text file with the durations of recordings in the following format:
Code:
Duration : 13mn 16s
Duration : 1h 57mn
Duration : 1h 33mn
Duration : 47mn 1s
Duration : 45mn 51s
Duration : 2h 13mn
...etc
I'd like to know just long all of this is. I was originally thinking of doing several sed commands creating additional text files from the 'h' 'mn' and 's' throughout, but I feel like that's creating more work for myself than it needs to be. I feel like awk should do this,

Started with Lucid where my file system would go corrupt every week or so. Now I'm on Natty and it's 10x worse..
What happens:Either full computer lockup; screen is froze but mouse still moves, can not click anything. Keyboard LED's are also frozen. I have to use SysRq+REISUB to reboot at this point.OR: Screen graphics scramble, programs won't load their GUI's but are still functional.
File system sometimes becomes read only and corrupt too when this happens.
Hardware:
Computer Processor: 2x Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2180 @ 2.00GHz
Memory 3086MB: (443MB used)
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
OS/Kernel

I'm running the latest 10.10 and loving it, former Windows user I noticed just shortly after installing 10.4, that a few select applications would open and I would see "Starting (application name)" and then it would close and nothing else would happen. I suspect this is related to the fact that I recently took my Video Card out of my PC and Ubuntu is not detecting my Intel Chip?

due to a crash on window's part my computer crashed and I decided to install the latest version of Ubuntu. (9.10) However as it happened, it was actually incompatible with the usb on my computer an Acer AM5641 desktop. So I opted for 8.10 which works like a charm except for the fact that the restricted drivers for my graphics card (an Nvidia 7900 GS that I installed) don't work. After clicking "enable driver" everything appears to go as normal. Except for the fact that when I restart it, it automatically goes into safe mode, and i can't save it at a higher resolution than 800x600.

After installing Ubuntu 10.04, kept getting this popup advising me of an Nvidia accelerated graphics driver 96. After installing it my highest resolution is 640x480 and I get the following error:
"It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead? Yes/No"
How do I get this thing to a 1024x768 resolution?

Total Linux & Ubuntu noob here Have setup my Dell Dimension 9200 Tower (Pentium 4, 3.2Ghz, 3GB RAM, Nvidea GEForce 9600) with Lucid 32 bit. I'd like to be able to play my 1080p mkv (.264) video library on my Ubuntu system that I use as a media centre.
What is the easiest method to get GPU accelerated video playback for above please ? I have tried the built-in Movie Player, Boxee (which I use for other videos anyway) and VLC - all of which play but with a small amount of stutter - enough to be annoying. As far as I can tell these apps do not use NVidea GPU acceleration. In all cases I have used the defaults provided either by Ubuntu/Boxee/VLC.
Is MPlayer the answer ? BTW I'm a relatively "non-tech-enthusiast" coming from the Microsoft environment. I'm comfortable with DOS command line but have never used Linux command line,

I've loaded 11.04 with Unity on a Dell GX260 test machine (2.4 GHz P4, 1 GB of RAM, 40 GB HD, GeForce 6200 video card). I've tried installing both accelerated video drivers, but Compiz won't start and the Additional Drivers program informs me that the driver is loaded but "This driver is activated but not currently in use." How do I put it into use? There seems to be no switch for that effect in the system controls, and I haven't found any informative posts.

I know that this laptop (Asus UL30A) does support playing HD material with the help of the GPU on windows. The question is how can I do this under linux? The CPU load as is implies that this is not activated. I assume that it's limited to a handful of codecs. But which player supports this, if its even supported at all?

After a lot of frustration with flash on Linux (specifically Hulu), I decided to do something instead of complaining. Hardware acclerated flash is the one thing keeping Windows on my system.
Please support GPU acceleration on Linux and vote for the following bug. Mac OSX has 1000 votes. Linux has 139. Let's show Adobe that linux is just as important as OSX.

Just installed Ubuntu 11.04, and everything is perfect, except my video card. Ubuntu 11.04 refuses to run my labtops integrated Intel 855GM video card in OpenGL hardware accelerated mode. Everything is really slow/unresponsive compared to earlier versions, windows are rendering painfully slow etc. From what I can gather, problem is, 11.04/newest Compiz is OpenGL 1.4, and my video card only supports 1.3 (?). Now, I have tried downgrading Compiz following this link: [url]
No luck so far.. OpenGL is still software only. Do I need to edit some ini-file or xorg.conf, or am I missing something here?

Have a system that previously had F9 and F10 on it, with video hardware:
Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
xorg.conf is using
Driver "intel"
F9 and F10 would pass MPEG to the video card for accelerated decoding and playback and it worked just great in VLC, MPLAYER, etc.
F11 installed (fresh install, not upgrade) and the accelerated path seems to be gone. CPU utilization goes very high when playing back any MPEG video.
Additionally, the following information is observed coming out of MPLAYER:
MPEG-ES file format detected.
VIDEO: MPEG2 1920x1080 (aspect 1) 59.940 fps 15000.0 kbps (1875.0 kbyte/s)
================================================== ========================
Opening video decoder: [mpegpes] MPEG 1/2 Video passthrough
[Code]....
It looks to me like the video driver is being queried whether it supports Mpeg PES colorspace, and the answer seems to be no, so then it falls back to software decoding.

I have a Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2 motherboard with integrated graphics that shows up on lspci as an ATI Radeon 2100. I also bought a PCI-Express Nvidia graphics card so I could use the VDPAU feature on Linux (plays H.264 in hardware). The BIOS has three settings about which display to initialize first:
Integrated graphics
PCI graphics
PCI-Express graphics (PEG)
I set the BIOS on PEG, but
I cannot get anything, not even a splash screen or POST messages, to emerge from the PCI-Express graphics card. (I'm using a DVI connector; the card also has an HDMI output.)I cannot get the kernel lspci to see the graphics card; the only VGA controller it acknowledges is the integrated one.Running dmidecode acknowledges the existence of an x16 PCI Express slot, and it says
Current usage: Unknown
There is an additional BIOS setting called "Internal Graphics Mode" which is normally set to "Auto" which means it is supposed to prefer a PCI Express VGA card. I set it to "Disabled" which now means I'm getting no output at all. I will soon be learning how to do a BIOS reset!
Other information: The PCI-E card is a MSI N210-MD512H GeForce 210. This is a fanless card. Although there are no fans to see turning, the heat sink on the PCI-E card is definitely getting hot, so the card is getting some sort of power.It gets all its power from the PCI-E slot; there is no external power connector.The BIOS is an AMI Award BIOS.how can I make the PCI Express graphics card visible to Ubuntu?

I have just installed Ubuntu (9.10) and noted that in order to successfully run the trial off the CD I had to test in "safe graphics" mode. I have an NVIDIA GEforce 6600 GT card - which was discovered by Ubuntu in the first few minutes of the trial and so I activated the recommended driver and continued to test. After a successful trial I installed Ubuntu (dual partition Ubuntu / Windows XP), however, it seems the install didn't activate the required driver (as part of the process) and so I'm unable to get into my newly-installed Ubuntu at all. All I get is a flashing tty screen asking for my username and password - however it's erratic and won't recognise what I type. So - I'm stuck in a catch-22 as there doesn't seems to be a safe graphics mode option via the start (GRUB?) menu list.
