Mar 30, 2010
So I finally got ubuntu..I wanted to play team fortress 2.Runs great in wine etc.But 1 problem.It keeps saying my graphic card is outdated.I cant see anything.So I downloaded the driver from nvidia website.Followed some instructions.But it says cannot open binary file or something.Is there any other way to update graphic drivers.Cause I realy still want to play some windows games.Mount&blade, Atlantica online,team fortress 2 etc
i justy got me a dedi box and there is no graphic driver installed on it, or it dont work :/ VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266] but wen i try installing enemy territory it comes back with error on graphic card
In Fedora 10, I cannot get to the installer because it shows these messed up strips graphics (its not due to my graphic card, my graphic card is supported 7600gt) in non-quiet install it shows logical errors and i/o errors.
I just installed Debian 5 in my pc. I have made all the updates but my screen is a bit bright and the resolution isn't very good. I think that i need to install the graphic card driver but all the solution i find in google didn't work . My laptop is Toshiba satellite pro u400 and my card is Intel GMA 4500 MHD.
I just installed a fresh Debian testing on my laptop with a VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics (rev 09). Although X is running seems like it's rather slow. As there’s no xorg.conf
How the graphic card could be configured using the appropriate driver.
I tried to install the NVIDIA graphic card drivers on my laptop XPS 1340, running with opensuse 11.2. There are two graphic cards, the integrated one and the NVIDIA one. I installed the drivers correctly by doing
wget ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Li...90.36-pkg2.run su -c 'sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.36-pkg2.run -q' but when trying to configure the x-server su -c 'sax2 -r -m0=nvidia'
I got the following error message in the /var/log/SaX.log NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidia0 (Input/output error).
I installed openSuse 11.2 64bit (DVD version). Later I installed the graphic card driver. Then I noticed that it's not working well due to an improper installation (didn't use the manual that you provided here). So I uninstalled the driver. Then, after reboot, instead of a regular desktop, I get a CLI and I'm requested to enter my login information. But in the boot menu, if I enter to the failsafe option, then everything works fine. How can I change the CLI to the regular desktop?
I have recently installed Centos. During the installation, I noticed that only sound was being tested during the installation. Once everything has been installed successfully. I can run Centos with no problem. However, when I tried to switch from one window (browser) to another. The display was slow. Thus, I suspected the driver for the graphic card of my PC is not being installed successfully. When I type /sbin/lspci | grep VGA in the terminal, I get the following output:
Then, I went to the dell support & driver site to download the driver. In the readme file, it is suggested to install dkms first before installing the graphics driver by typing rpm -ivh dkms-2.1.0.1-1.noarch.rpm
I managed to install the dkms without any error.However, when I use rpm to install the graphics driver as suggested by the readme file: rpm -ivh dell-nvidia-190.42-1dkms_rhel5.3.x86_64.rpm
I get the following errors: error: Failed dependencies: libX11.so.6()(64bit) is needed by dell-nvidia-190.42-1dkms_rhel5.3.x86_64 libXext.so.6()(64bit) is needed by dell-nvidia-190.42-1dkms_rhel5.3.x86_64[code]....
Since the above errors may be related to the missing packages then I use yum provides and install to find the missing packages. Even I try to install all the matched packages, i still cant install the driver for my graphic card. To be honest, i am not very sure whether I am doing the right things or not. how to solve this slow display problem when switching from one application to another.
The system has driver for intel, but the opengl version is 2.1. How to update opengl version to 4.1. (intel 945). For ATI just download driver version 11.5 and install it. All is OK.
I have an ubuntu PC with 512 MB ram and an 3d graphic card that can normally support Guild Wars on windows xp. I installed the game with Wine an the game opens, I can see my character menu but the problem is none of the 3D graphic parts works, I just see a black screen.I even installed directX.
I installed ubuntu but when I first tried to login with my correct passwords it goes in a loop and prompt me to log in again. I went to recovery mode and selected safe mode then I was able to log in without any further prompts. As a result of what happened, I unlocked the login screen and changed the setup to allow me to log in automatically and in safe mode only. I am now stuck to login in safe mode only. I tried to unlock the login screen to change to default but no chance. If there is no graphic card in the PC would that have an effect on memory or login?
I've just installed a driver for ATI HD 4850, and I have a huge delay while scrolling, or when entering a folder which contains more files.(While scrolling down/up, vertical lines go down or up slowly, refreshing the image, 1 line/time if I noticed well.. takes like 2-3 secs to 'clear' the image..) I'm a total beginner at ubuntu, so please reply in standard language, or explain what to do I don't know if I installed the ATI driver properly, I just found that guide on the net..
I am trying to install lucid lynx on this laptop [URL] and I am getting the blank screen problem at installation. I tried nomodeset, vga=771, xforcevesa and a couple more and nothing seems to work. I have a livecd I burned a couple months ago. If I delete the quiet splash line at the livecd I get some repeating text too fast to see and after a couple of mins the laptop shuts off by itself. what can I do to get lucid lynx working on this pc?
I've already got two installs without much problems.. one on my laptop and another fedora13 install on an older comp just to test it a bit before installing it on my main comp. But now I've got a problem. Both those install went without problems but when I started installation on my main comp first I've noticed some graphic problems when there is installation started and there is mouse and fedora 13 welcome installation screen. there are some like glitches or something no idea how to describe them.. like bad pixels in small upper part of the screen. But ignoring that everything went OK up to the part where I can choose a standard discs or non starts like sans and stuff..
When I choose standard disc installation just freeze there. No idea what is happening. Only this that came across my mind is that there is a problem with raid maybe? There are 2x640Gb HDD in raid0, there is win7 installed, and another 1Tb HDD, non-raid member disk, where I would like to install Fedora and have a dual boot. Still got programs that I need win for I'm afraid. Installation went smooth on laptop and another comp but there is no raid so I'm guessing that could be a problem. This comp where installation froze is in short:
I bought ASUS K50c with SIS graphic card and have win7 on it (i install it alone).I want to install ubuntu!I found installation of ubuntu 10.10 and tried to install it. There is a huge problem with my graphic card because resolution is 800*600! I found installation of ubuntu 10.04 LTS and tried to install it. Again problem. I tried to download drivers from www.sis.com but there are tar.file and i don't now what is that or how to install it.In windows I now how to install anything, but there is a problem.I am ready to install any version of ubuntu just to solve this problem.
i tried to upgrade my geforce fx5700 driver. After upgrading i cant login. Before the login screen appears there is a black screen and when i type it writes first "^[[4~" and then i can write and nothing happens. I have two options in the bootloader : Fedora (2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12x86_64) and Fedora (2.6.31.5-127.fc12x86_64). I am afraid to kill the second konfig.
I should install a new openSuse 11.2 or if I should make an Update-Installation from DVD (see openSUSE 11.2 Installation Quick Start Installation Mode: Select Mode - New Installation / Update / [...]) or an Update Installation via Yast.Now I am using openSuse 11.1 and Gnome 2.24.1 (mostly, 1 account is using KDE) and Kernel Linux 2.6.27.45-01.1-pae. "/home" is on an separated partition (as part of an extended partition).
Contra new installation?:
- I have an Laptop (Samsung x20) with integrated intel 915 graphic and an very hight resolution (1400x1050). The monitor's resolution is not listed in the bios of the graphic cart/solution. Because of that I had many problems with my fist installation of suse/openSuse linux.
- Will I have problems to keep my old accounts?
Pro new installation?:
- Sometimes funny system reports (mostly about ICE).
- I have been logged in as root in Gnome (as I had some problems with (no) audio, the digital optical audio out is still not running).
- I think the fist installation was a few years ago maybe I had been to often "bold".
I am new to Suse Linux. So please excuse me for this "funny" query. have read the threads: Configuring graphics cards in openSUSE 11.3
From here I went to this page: SDB:Configuring graphics cards - openSUSE Its mentioned on this page that: Upon installing openSUSE, the X system's automatic configuration may have failed to properly configure the graphics correctly. Typically this results in either a black screen upon reboot, or the wrong resolution being displayed on the monitor.
I have none of these problems. But after searching for inability of desktop effects to become activated, I found that nVIDIA graphic card drivers are must for these effects. After clicking "My computer" icon on desktop, I found Display Info as following:
Vendor: nVidia Corporation Model: G98 [GeForce 8400 GS] 2D driver: nouveau 3D driver: nouveau Gallium (7.8.2)
Can anyone tell me 'Is nouveau an alternative for nVIDIA'? Is this the reason for no wrong resolution or black screen upon boot. That means my computer graphics are working correctly. Then why does Desktop Effects are not getting enabled.
After searching for Kaffeine media player extra codecs to play media files, I incidentally found the following options: I opened Yast Control Center @ linux-o26a Software> Add on Products > installed Add-On Products > Community Repositories > clicking Next, this opened a window with "List of Online repositories" where there is an option of "NVIDIA Repository". If I install it, will it enable the "Desktop effects"
i'm going to change my old Nvidia Graphic card wich runs very well in Ubuntu by an ATI HD Radeon 4770.Will Ubuntu recognize it when i plug it and start the computer, will Ubuntu reconfigure by itself?... or i'm going to have problems like not to be able to start the X server and only be able to enter to the console.Need i to remove the nvidia graphics driver before to plug in the new card?I have downloaded a program called Envy, which is supposed to reconfigure ubuntu properly... it's ok?Finllay, can i backup the curent configuration so that if the new card is not well installed i can return to the old without problems?
I'm basic Ubuntu user. I got new notebook Acer 5745G with GeForce GT 330M. There is no problem installing Ubuntu. After that I'm installing the recommended Nvidia driver. Everything goes well until the system asks me to restart. I'm making restart and that's it. The loading screen is not showing so as the log in screen. And the solution for now is to uninstall and install Ubuntu again. I thing updating the graphic driver is necessary thing. Not sure if this is a bug, but for sure the system is not working after updating it.
I'm currently using windows 7 on my computer, I have an ATI GPU and I am willing to install Ubuntu to finally rock it out. However I'm going to change my video card for a newer nVidia one in a few weeks and I'm wondering about the drivers change.. Under windows it should be quite simple however I'm quite afraid of possible issues I could have under Ubuntu. Probably (I believe and hope) everything will just work fine, simply plug and play, no conflicts, nothing at all. However I'm asking because I would like to avoid any issues, as I prefer dealing with windows one month or so more than having driver issues under ubuntu...
Resume: is it possible that changing GPU (brand) generates driver issue under ubuntu 10.10?
I've just installed Slackware 13.37 x64.Right now, everything is fine! All hardware OK, sound OK, Network/WiFi OK, nVIDIA Proprietary drivers OK, KDE Composite OK, Desktop effects OK.But when initializing, the messages pass very slow!My lilo framebuffer settings are 1024x768x64 (Code 791, 317 in Hex), my Graphics card is an nVIDIA GeForce 9100 M G (256Mb), but yet, I can see it refreshing like an image loading in 56Kbps connection. I really would like to use framebuffer during boot (Oh, come on... The little penguin is kinda neat :-), so I'll ask... Is there a way to use my graphic driver in framebuffer, or make it faster?
I am trying to install NVIDIA graphics drivers. I can execute the .run but it comes up with an error the X Server is in use and needs to be closed.
I have tried to run
Ctrl Alt Backspace
and
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
But the terminal requests the root password and I can not enter anything for the password in the line. If I go to the next line and enter anything the password fails.
