I've recently switched over to gnome desktop environment with gnome-shell preview as my compositing manager.Everything is good except for this process xfce4-notifyd which autostarts somehow..
The problem with this process is it acts as the default notification daemon over-riding gnome-shell's built-in notification support and tends to display balloon popups on the top right corner....If i kill this process everything is good.... But on restart it autostarts again somehow..I looked through the items in gnome-session-properties and also in these places:
Code:
/usr/share/autostart
/etc/xdg/autostart
But couldn't find any entries related to xfce4-notifyd.
I've a question regarding two camera images. Suppose I've detected 2d window coordinate of 8 markers of an object in a scene in one camera and detected window coordinates of 10 markers of the same object on another camera.
I've detected the marker. It was easy. Now how do i know which window coordinates on two cameras are the coordinates of same marker? I mean there are markers captured on both cameras and some of them are representing the same marker in both cameras. I just like to know which ones are same on both cameras. Is it possible to find that out using opencv?
SuSE SLES10, 32 bit. I have an app which crashes with general protection often.
There is message every time in /var/log/messages:
2010-10-22T08:49:49.350476+02:00 HostName kernel: ProgramName[28023] general protection rip:404575 rsp:7fffc5656270 error:0
How do I establish relation between this message and source code? Error was observed on another host where some tests were running, now license is expired and I can't get more info nor core dump. I have to investigate what I have and try to reproduce it locally. Unfortunately original binary was stripped.Now I prepared non-stripped version. Does it has the same addresses for function as original? Is it possible to use symbol information for finding where RIP points to?
I'm running Fedora 10 [KDE] on an Acer laptop and am having problems configuring "hot keys" for it. First thing that needs to be mentioned is that the hotkeys used to work when I was running it on Gnome without me having to do anything. I assumed that this will be the case with KDE too. In any case, I think driver installation is supposed to be quite straight forward. There are two packages: acer_acpi and acerhk and different installation instructions for each one of them. The problem I am having is when I run the makefile script for either one of these, I get the following output in the terminal:
Quote:
Makefile: line 5: KERNELSRC?=/lib/modules/2.6.27.9-159.fc10.x86_64/build: No such file or directory

I think build-essential and some other packages are normally needed, but since you can't get them for Fedora (?), I groupinstalled "Development Tools" and some other group.

I have an Asus UL80vt laptop. This laptop has an integrated (Intel) as well as a discrete (Nvidia 210m) graphics card.
I want to use the nvidia proprietary drivers because from what I understand, it's the easiest way to set up dual monitors (I have an external monitor). I installed the latest nvidia driver: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53. When I try to run the NVidia X Server Settings GUI, it tells me that "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. "
I checked out my xorg.conf and changed the device driver to 'nvidia' instead of 'nv'. Curiously, when I run nvidia-xconfig, it changes the intel device to 'nvidia' which is a problem. So i skipped running that and just stuck with my xorg.conf. When I run startx, I get a message saying "failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device PCI:1:0:0".
I've combed through multiple forums which state different kinds of solutions and I've tried different kernel options such as 'vmalloc=512m' or 'noapic' to no avail.
P.S. I've attached my xorg.conf file
I am a real Linux noob lol XD. So sorry if this questions seems a bit easy for some. So here it goes: I want to install NVidia drivers for my laptop and need a compiler to actually install them. I do not have any installed and would like to know how to install gcc, as in the error when i run NVidia driver it says that I need it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThere are currently two options for nVidia drivers in Lucid Lynx, 173, and current. With the video card in my laptop, 9650m GT, the 173 drivers work but Docky is painfully, unusably slow. With the "current" drivers, Docky is fine but I get progressively worse and worse static-type lines across my screen and eventually it the machine restarts itself. I've tried installing drivers manually but they won't compile against the kernel.
Before installing Lucid, I had 9.04 Jaunty installed, and Docky (at the time still merged with gnome-do) worked without a hitch. I ran into this error first when I installed 9.10 and decided to go back to 9.04, hoping that it would be fixed. I can't remember which version of the nVidia drivers I was using in Jaunty, but is there any way to go back to those drivers in Lucid?
for some reason the drivers for my laptop graphics are not showing up.
The laptop I have is Acer 1810T. It has intel GMA 4500MHD graphics.
I also have a desktop which has Nvidia 9800GT graphics card and the drivers for that showed up automatically when i went to additional drivers in ubuntu.

My Ubuntu WAS working perfectly. I started to tweak with the eye candy. "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (ccsm)." As I was reading some of the forums, I also thought I would give KDE a try and add it to my system. I was experimenting (so I don't know what exactly I was modifying) when at some point I noticed that in the upper right hand corner of my windows (where "minimize window, maximize window and close window buttons" exist), each time I went to click on the close window button, my system froze and I had to do a hard reboot. At that point, I uninstalled all things KDE. Still had the same issue. Then I uninstalled ccsm.
At this point, the maximize, minimize and close buttons were GONE!! I finally figured out, I had to RIGHT CLICK DESKTOP >> CHANGE DESKTOP BACKGROUND >>TAB TO VISUAL EFFECTS >> SELECT "NONE" This returned my system back to a useable state with the max, min and close buttons. Then I tried again to enable the effects, and suddenly my max, min, close buttons again disappeared. I also got a window that was searching for drivers. None could be found. I had to then turn effects off again.
After that, Ive been trying to completely uninstall and reinstall: drivers, KDE, ccsm, hardware drivers (jockey-gtk and jockey-kde). I tried installing each of them seperately, together, and in various combinations and now it seems like the more I try the worse it gets (before, it would search for drivers... now it just tells me "desktop effects could not be enabled" I know there is probably an easy fix to restoring my drivers... but I can't figure it out. It would be easy to just reinstall... but then I gotta go back to my IT person to add the network key at my work and redo all my settings. Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit on a Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop
I 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 got a new Acer Aspire One notebook, and first thing I did was get RID of windows 7 starter crap, and put on Ubuntu 10.04. Everything runs smoothly and works well except one thing, Ubuntu doesn't seem to recognize I have a battery, it behave's like it would on a desktop. This is really bothering me as I need to know my battery life and whatnot. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? Im completely up to date, and I also tried booting up in the live version of 9.10 and it didnt recognize a battery either, i fear if i cant get this working I might need to use Win7 Starter...I was looking forward to Ubuntu.

I've had Ubuntu installed on this computer before and the mousepad worked fine. This being Debian on a new-generation computer, it makes me think that Debian just probably hasn't released the update yet.
I have run into the following problem, after I installed the proprietary AMD/ATI driver for my videocard I've been unable to wake up my laptop after suspend to RAM, it suspends ok (I guess?) but when I try to wake it up the screen doesn't turn on so I have to manually shut down the laptop.
before installing the proprietary driver, it worked ok

Unfortunately I'm having trouble finding proper driver support for the ATI radeon x1200 as described by another poster:
You should still be able to get full 3D support for your hardware by downloading & installing the drivers manually.
This is where it gets complicated, unfortunately.
ATI dropped support for some "older" 3D devices some time back (actually not all that old in many cases - it made a lot of ATI card owners very upset). So I'm not sure which drivers you'd need to download & install to get your 3D hardware working.
The Radeon x1200 device in your notebook is, confusingly, not the same as a desktop Radeon x1200 card.
I am not sure if this is the correct forum but I trust the Administrators can move it if need be. I recently "Frankensteined" a computer together putting Ubuntu 10.10 as the OS. I have a ScanExpress S40 scanner and cannot find drivers for it nor does anything occur when I plug it into the computer. where I can find a generic driver that work.
