Ubuntu Installation :: Natty - With Graphics Driver - Gnucash And Shutdown
May 4, 2011
I just did an install of Natty into a separate partition and incurred several problems. I have a Dell-DXP061 with 4 GB of memory and an Nvidia GForce 7300LE and a Dell 27in. monitor at a resolution of 1920x1200.
Initially it booted in to Ubuntu Classic as expected due to needing a proprietary video driver. So the first thing I did was to install the recommended Nvidia driver and attempted to reboot. It would not start either Unity or Classic. So I did a re-installation and then selected the experimental open 3D driver and was then able to bring up the system in both Unity and Ubuntu Classic. I installed a number of programs including cairo-dock, which I really like, emacs23, and gnucash. I have used gnucash for years and consider it a necessity. However, the Natty version will not display correctly the "gnucash-data" file I created with version 2.2.9 that I have been running on 10.10. This is almost a show stopper for me.
When I try to do a restart, the screen goes black, "Ubuntu" appears with the little dots, three of the dots change color and the system hangs. The system only stops when I hold the power button to effect a complete power outage. Interestingly the LiveCD did not seem to have a problem with restart.
I can see how a causal user might like the Unity interface, but I don't think that I am interested. I guess I will stick to gnome for a while, at least until Gnome3 and then I am not sure where I will go.
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.
I installed Ubuntu 11.04, and everything was fine before I installed the graphics drivers for my ATI Radeon HD 6850 card. After that, doing things like moving windows, dragging on the desktop, etc. are really laggy.
I was trying to install drivers for my ati radeon 9550 and when i typed in the terminal this:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libgl
i got:
W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 5A9BF3BB4E5E17B5 a posle ove druge: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
[code]....
how do i add this repo to sources list and how do i install the public key?
I'm brand new to Ubuntu, and am having a small problem. I'm trying to run a graphics card driver instillation, but whenever I run the file, it says that it has to run as a root. How do I run the file as a root? The graphics card I have is an Nvidia 8800GTM.
I am running Kubuntu 10.04 LTS and have had no problems with my ATI card up to kernel 2.6.32-29. Upon update/upgrade to 2.6.32-30 the FGLRX driver will not load graphics and I can only get the text system login. If I reboot to -29 everything works great.
My computer is Compaq Presario CQ61-110ED notebook pc Mijn videocard is:Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD Where can I download a driver for Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD by the Ubuntu 32/64 bits, version 9.10?
I am running natty (64bin) and recently it has stopped responding to either the shutdown or reboot command from the panel menu. When you select shutdown, and then hit yest to confirm, nothing happens. I looked at the logs and nothing seems to be generating any errors either. Not even sure how to trouble shoot this issue.
I wanted to try out the Natty beta 1, but apparently it fails to load the graphics drivers. When I run the "Additional drivers" app, no drivers are listed. I installed the nvidia-current package and rebooted, but nothing happened. This problem occurs with an install in a VirtualBox machine, as well as with the live CD. Running Maverick with Compiz and the proprierary Nvidia drivers on a Lenovo T61 with Nvidia Quadro NVS 140, built in 2008. I hope this machine is not too old already to upgrade to Natty?! What can I do to see the fully graphics-enabled Natty/Unity desktop on my laptop?
I am using fedora10 in my notebook. I installed nvidia-graphics driver as follows.
su -c 'rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...ble.noarch.rpm' su -c 'rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfr...ble.noarch.rpm' su -c 'rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-*'
Then i installed kmod-nvidia with yum su -c 'yum install kmod-nvidia' When i tried to open NVIDIA control panel, i got a message that nvidia-driver should be configured. Then i issued the following command as root. nvidia-xconfig. The i rebooted the system. Now in the boot menu, i see two kernel informations as follows
If i boot my linux with first one, x windows starts, if i boot with the second one (previously default), the x-windows is not opening. Why this happens? So i booted my system with first option in the boot menu. The system booted and x.windows started but i am not able to use any software that uses opengl window. The glxinfo command gives me the following error.
I'm still trying to learn the ropes on linux as a whole and I've run into sort of a huge dilema. I wanted to connect my laptop to my TV via VGA. However, it would not work because I didn't have the proprietary graphics driver for my graphics card (Nvidia Quadro NVS 3100M). I searched the internet and found the guide below because the guide provided here did not specify Quadro family graphics cards[URL]I followed the "easy method" to the T. Now I cannot boot into Fedora 15 at all (I'm stuck on bloody Windows 7 again ). It simply freezes at the boot animation (the "F" in the bubble). What can I do to fix this
I have installed ubuntu 11.04 on my HCL Me Laptop. The OS is not getting halted when I use the shut down or the restart menu from the GUI. It is not shutting down when used the commands 'sudo shut down now' or 'sudo poweroff now' or 'sudo halt now' or 'sudo init 0' also. Except when used the 'shut down' command, the command line hangs at:
init: plymouth-upstart-bridge main process (1981) terminated with status 1 checking for running unattended upgrades.
When used the 'shut down' command, the violet screen where the word ' ubuntu ' is written appears and hangs. I have updated my OS yesterday, but it is not fixing the problem. All the time I am using power button to have a forced shutdown. I loved the natty nerwhal.
I have completed building gazebo, and everything was done successfully according to the following link [URL]... bot_Simulation , but when I tried to invoke gazebo using the command "gazebo /usr/local/share/gazebo/worlds/pioneer2dx.world" it returns the following error
i upgrade a machine running centos 5.4 to 5.5 this morning. After the update the X start i saw the pointer and a black backgroud only the desktop doesn't appear.The machine is a barebone with this configuration
i have a large data file for gnucash of several years in age. when i did the upgrade, gnucash starts and loads, and the main account appears to load, but there is nothing displayed. just an empty gray space where the alternating colors of the ledger should be.the account listing loads, and i can view other smaller accounts just fine. but the main ledger does not display. however, if i click on some areas of the screen, it will display what i assume is the underlying text in the bottom status bar.
and when a window or some other graphic element 'over writes' any area, some remnants of the former image remain.
For the last month, when starting up or shutting down my laptop under Linux, I would get graphical corruption. Startup has an colour inverted, grainy rendition of what should be displayed while shutdown has a red background with all the text replaced by grey rectangles.
At the very least this affects Fedora, Ubuntu and Xubuntu. Windows is not affected. Outside of startup/shutdown the system is fine.
I've recently switched over to Ubuntu 11.04. I installed Natty by wiping out Maverick entirely. Everything worked well, until I tried to install ATI graphics drivers through the instructions found here: [URL] The installation goes fine without any errors; however, when I reboot, nothing shows up on the screen. I can hear Ubuntu's startup sounds, but there are no visuals. When I attempt to go to the ATI Catalyst Control Center in Recovery Mode, I get this error:
Quote: There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following. No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly. Please install the ATI driver appropriate for you ATI hardware, or configure using aticonfig.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling these drivers multiple times, and I've also tried using the generic driver detected by "Additional Drivers". None of these work at all, I cannot see anything on the screen when any ATI drivers are enabled. I've even tried re-updating Natty via CD, but none of this works. I have a Radeon HD 3450 graphics card, and my CPU is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5400+. I'm on 64 bit Ubuntu. I had no problems with my drivers on Maverick.
With the information given by Diaco, Lamp20, Shizeon, Backu and the writers of ttp://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dia...Howto/Conexant I have used a USB winmodem with a conexant driver in (K)Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty).When I plugged that modem, I executed
I recently upgraded to Lucid and am having difficulty finding and installing the ATI graphics driver for my machine. When I open Administration > Hardware Drivers, the list is completely empty. I've searched the forums but haven't found a way to get the driver installed. My graphics card is an ATI Radeon X1200 series, and my computer is a Toshiba Satellite A215-S5818.
Today I realized that my newly installed Natty does not recognize the Ethernet port, I used to have it when I was working on the Ubutnu 10.10. The following is the output (only the network related part) of lshw command:
Basically when I first got Ubuntu I could go into Additional Drivers and enable the graphics, which would help alot with everything.However, just recently I think I accedently removed something in the system and now it's not in the list and i have no graphics enabled. Are there a few things I can do to try fix this
This post is basically an addendum to my other post located at this link: [URL]... The "new" video problem I'm having is that now I can't get the resolution back to the regular 1200x1600. So what I did is download the latest driver and the previous one to try as well. When I tried to install them it said I can't because I had an X server running. I ran an init 3 to change my run level and then did a >runlevel command, which reported "3 3". I'm assuming that confirms I am in fact running at level 3. I then ran the following command:
>sudo sh ./NVIDIA..yada yada yada (driver info) It tried to install it but said I'm STILL running an X server. What am I missing? Also, I did the init 3 command and confirmed it was "3 3" and then tried to run >startx from the command line. It said "fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0. If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again."
I downloaded my Proprietary ATI Linux Driver (for my Radeon Xpress 200) from [URL]... But I cannot figure out how to install it!I followed the instructions here but Terminal told me "command not found". I also tried double-clicking the file but it opened with gedit and gave me an error.
I've been loitering over my resolution and nvidia xserver settings for about 2 days now, fiddling with xorg.conf and breaking ubuntu in the process trying to get my resolution at it's native settings. I've searched through many forums and none of them have solved my problem. Its maximum resolution is 1360x768, which isn't enough. It should be 1440x900. I have tried adding custom modes to the xorg.conf file and it wouldn't work. I don't know what's going on. Also here is my xorg.conf since I saved the nvidia settings to it...
