Ubuntu Multimedia :: Geforce 8300 - Pentium Duo And Can't Play Nexuiz Or Urban Terror?
Aug 6, 2010
i have tons of computers running and my best one cant play the oldest games. My old P3 can play these games and this computer cant.
[Code]....
So basically a 2GHz machine with 2Gigs of ram and a Geforce 8300. I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty i think ?). Anyway all of the basic games dont work well, they are choppy and slow. I put them in the lowest resolution just for them to be playable. It does not make any sense to me I have the latest version of the nvidia drivers running (I used ./NVI... --update)
[Code]....
This program is used to configure the NVIDIA Linux graphics driver. Copyright (C) 2004 - 2010 NVIDIA Corporation. The only thing I can think of is a crappy video card ? but still i should be able to run these old games.

Was wondering if any of you solved this weird problem before. Currently, I am running Kubuntu 10.10 and I can't seem to get Urban Terror up and running. I've checked the usual stuff... That's the chmod +x as well as disabling my desktop effects but I still can't run Urban Terror. In fact when I run it, it does go into full screen mode (with a black background) before returning to my desktop with the program terminated.

I'm new to Linux, last 6 months, and am trying to install it on my tower, but for some reason after successfully going through the installation process, it will not boot. I'm using ubuntu in a virtual box on my laptop just fine, I've had not problems at all, this really has me stumped since it seemed so easy on my laptop.I get this message after the installation has finished and the computer has to restart, the cd tray opens, I remove the ubuntu cd I burned, and I get this message:
Strike F1 to retry, Strike F2 to enter setup I put the CD back in, and then selected "Boot from Hard Disc", and then get a "Booting from local disk..." and the cursor blinking below, but after 2 minutes or so, I get the following error:
isolinux: Disk error 80, AX=0201, drive 80
Before installing Ubuntu, I did the hard drive test just to be sure, and there were no problems, it said everything was good to go.
Some specs:
Dell Dimension 8300
20GB Hard Drive (IDE, jumpers set to factory positions, and the IDE 1 cable plugged in)
1 GB Ram
Pentium 4 w/ Hyper-Threading

I just got a new graphics card. I got an Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS and its working great. Videos are a lot smoother and my overall experience is much better. I figured that I'd test my card to see if it can handle some gaming.
I installed Nexuiz but it wouldn't start. The screen would just flicker. I decided to see what pops up in the terminal and the error message that most pops up is: "Couldn't find matching GLX visual." Here is the full output. code...

I SlackBuilt Nexuiz, it said it was precompiled but I saw the SlackBuild and followed through to the end. Slackware 13.0 64-bit i read the SlackBuild and it seemed to have that in there. nexuiz-2.5.2-i486-1_SBo.tgz is how it is in /tmp .
I don't think that there is much more than what I have said. It's just weird really. Became extremely laggy for a few moments after the installpkg part. Then back to normal.. maybe little slow.. but nothing heavy. Don't know why it didn't install even though it did install.

After many days of trying to tweak Ubuntu 9.10 desktop i386. This subject will focus on my dvd drive. ...Here is what I have done, but I'm not sure what I did or still need to do, or to do different. ...
Basically the problem is, I can't play store bought DVDs, but I can play my copies of them.
When using MDPlayer that I added to Ubuntu, I can play the copies of my store bought DVDs, but not the originals. However, when using Ubuntu 9.10's movie player, it wont do anything and I'll have to do a force quit to close it.
I learned that this may because there is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution, as I'm sure you already knew.
...Yet, Most people have worked around these issues.
I came across the Medibuntu site: [url]
Running the Terminal, I added the bash command that adds Medibuntu's repositiry to Ubuntu. It also adds Medibuntu's GPG key to the keyring.
(The sudo wget - etc etc etc --quiet update)
Then I jumped down to the... "This command should be run in the Terminal, after adding the repository:" ...And did that. (sudo sed -e 's/ etc etc etc /medibuntu.list)

i just installed 10.10 on my girls laptop (Acer Aspire 5735z) hoping it would fix the old problem i had with playing real dvd's. it didnt. it keeps saying "Could not read from Resource". when i try with VLC is say "Could not read from file". but if i put in a burned movie, it plays fine. i checked and it has libdvdcss2, libdvdnav4, and libdvdread4 installed. i get the same problems with my laptop (toshiba portege m400 tablet) which runs fedora 13.

Anyone else struggling to play iplayer video? I've got the proprietary Flash plugin, which means it's probably not this "SWF Authentication" thing that there's been so much talk about.
I've rebooted, tried all sorts of tinkering, it loads the applet (I can see that Flash is loading OK because other things work, and right clicking on the applet gives the Flash menu)
However, clicking the play button does nothing.

Today I received as a gift a 5 years old Gateway 500X CPU which is apparently dead due to a faulty motherboard (I still have to troubleshoot it, of course).
Even in the cause I can fix it, odds are I'll prefer to make the aforementioned CPU a donor for my other machines, instead of resurrecting an old Pentium 4 (no HT) system.
Being this the case I checked the parts for possible transplants:
512MB DDR PC2700 memory module (useful right off the shelf for my main desktop system).
120GB Maxtor IDE hard drive (also useful, assuming it is in working order).
128MB AGP8X NVIDIA GeForce4 MX440 graphics card.
On this last part (the graphics card) I have my doubts as of where to use it. My main desktop system already has an NVIDIA card: FX5200, 128MB, which is newer. The thing is that I've been doing some homework comparing both the MX440 and the FX5200 and get mixed opinions: for one thing the FX5200 is the latest of the two with some advantages like support for a later DirectX (which for Linux is pointless) and other things, but the FX5200 is also reported to be technically inferior to the MX440.
In your opinion/experience which card is a better performer? Should I expect a performance gain if I were to replace the FX5200 with the MX440?

My system is Fedora 13 XFCE spin on DELL laptop Inspiron 1440 (1st column). Urban Terror was installed by Yum.
While playing, the screen suddenly freezes, nothing moves. The sound seem to work but very very slow (eg. the normal sound is A B C D ... now the sound becomes AAAAAAAAA BBBBBBB CCCCCCCCC DDDDDDDD .....................). The mouse don't response but the keyboard seem to response: I try press '~' key, then press 'q' and 'tab', finally 'enter', the sound stops, the mouse cursor appears (so I think I quitted UT) but the screen don't change (still game screen).
So I try "Ctrl + Alt + Backspace" to execute "xfce4-session-logout --halt" (this shortcut is set by me. Default there is not this shortcut. I try to set a shortcut to restart X server but find no way. So I set it to this command, this seem to log out rather than to restart the X server.). The screen become clear (black) and the log in screen mouse cursor appears (the mouse cursors on login screen and on desktop are different), but nothing more displays. As you know, on login screen there is a panel at the bottom with a button on the right. When we click this button, it shows a popup menu from that we can restart or shutdown. So I try to click on the bottom right of the screen on position of this button, then click on above it a little, the system shuts down (or restarts) with the splash screen (the blue screen with the Fedora logo) => the login screen still works but not displays
What is my problem, how can I fix it?

I recently bought a new geforce 220 gt and I'm using ubuntu 10.04 with the proprietary driver. I can't get access to the nvidia-glx program through nvidia-glx-185 because my card needs nvidia-glx-195 and the launchpad repo that supplied that deb has now removed it.
My question is would it just be easier to the the open source nouveau driver for nvidia so I can enabled 3d acceleration? Or will I probably run into the same problems trying to get glx working with that driver?

I need to play or preferably convert (i.e. to MP3) old SNG files, which contain voice records. From what I could find, it's basically a MIDI created by synthetiser. I think it was recorded by some ancient VLC player. I failed so far to play it on anything I could download.

I cannot get the restricted Nvidia drivers or the Nouveau drivers to work completely. If the Nouveau drivers are being used (after an "apt-get purge nvidia-*"), the text mode seems to work ok, but the X nouveau driver acts as if it cannot recognize the card. The only way I can get into X is to make sure I have the "nv" driver in the xorg.conf. I can then get into X normally.
If I install nvidia-current, the machine will just lock up at the splash screen. The Xorg.0.log file is zero bytes. I've checked and installing nvidia-current properly blacklists the nouveau drivers and I see no evidence in the messages file that the nouveau drivers tried to load in text mode. In fact, it shows the nvidia driver loading for console mode. I've tried the nouveau.modeset=0 kernel option as well, but that doesn't do anything. This is a fairly new nvidia card, maybe only a couple months old. I think it's been out for quite some time though. But it was working fine under Karmic with the restricted drivers. I really want to get this working as I need full support of the video card.

I've seen a lot of threads on this issue and combed through most of them trying to diagnose my problem and I've gotten REALLY close but with no complete success yet.I have a nVidia GeForce GTX 465 and I'm running HDMI out to my monitor. I have video but no audio. I can see the device in the Hardware tab of Sound Preferences but for the life of me I can't get it to play any audio (aside from testing with white noise).Output from aplay -l:
Code:

I have a 64 bit computer with a 64 bit distribution of Ubuntu. The driver for the onboard video card wasn't supported beyond 8.04, so I didn't upgrade. Yesterday, I bought a NVIDIA GeForce 210 video card. I installed it and Ubuntu detected it and worked, but the resolution was limited to 640x480 (I think). I figured this would be corrected by updating, so I updated to 9.04. When I had to restart, the option to select which OS (Linux or Win) came up, I selected 9.04, and the ubuntu symbol came on. The status bar went to the end and the screen turned black, flickered 5 times, turned black and stopped progressing. The xorg.conf file is:
Section"Driver"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection
Section"Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
[Code]...
I tried changing the driver from "vesa" to "nv" without any effect. Does anyone have any idea what I should do to get this to work?

I have thrown together a frankenstein of spare parts to stream video onto my TV. The GPU is a NX6800GS (geforce 6800). I have used the restricted driver tool to intsal the recommended driver. The VGA output works fine. My problem is that when using the nvidia tool to set up my TV through S-Video on the graphics card, the TV is not detected. This puts me at a dead end, as every how to guide on this forum assumes the nvidia control panel can detect the TV. Can i force video to play over the S-Video port? Do i need some magical unicorn drivers for the card? Any help is appreciated (even a simple "this setup will never work").

I installed a secondary Nvidia GeForce7300GS 256 PCIe video card in an ASROCK ION 330 motherboard. The idea is to provide an S-video output. The interesting bit is that lspci shows only one of the two cards. If I set the ION video adaptor primary in BIOS, then lspci will detect only ION, if I set the PCIe video card then lspci will detect the GeForce 7300GS. I'd like to write my own xorg.conf, but how can I refer to drivers without the pci bus address?

I have tried to play mp3 files with sox play.
The result I get is:
play FAIL formats: no handler for file extension `mp3'
I have installed all libsox packages I could find, including libsox-fmt-mp3 and libmad0.
sox -h though, gives me:

(no mp3 mentioned there).
The reason I try to play mp3 files with sox is that I wanted to play a playlist with different formats and feed it to ices2 through a pipe, ie :

Sick and tired of sluggish performance using the onboard X1200 graphics so I just ordered a cheap GeForce 8400 with 256MB DDR2 memory. If I simply disable the on board graphics then plug the GeForce card in, will I have to re-install Ubuntu or will the system be clever enough to detect and configure the card for me?

I've just done a clean install of 10.04.01 (64bit) and am having a few issues with the Nouveau driver.
1. I'm getting a series of horizontal lines across the screen ( image).
2. I'm getting, what appear to be, GPU lockups. This appears to happen after an amount of browsing and rendering images.
My system setup is:
10.04.01 LTS
grep 'Monitor name' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) NOUVEAU(0): Monitor name: EA231WMi
VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G71 [GeForce 7300 GS] (rev a1)

I bought an asus U33JC and except for one major issue (frame tear) it works fine out of the box using 11.04 64bit, with some minor issues easily solved (suspend, upside down cam on skype, flash and java). The U33JC has optimus, but also a bios option to disable the Intel GMA. So I could use the on chip Intel GMA or disable it and use the discrete GF310M.
The major issue I have now is poor video playback. Frame tear occurs in every single configuration I tried: Either using the internal Intel GMA, or disabling the Intel via bios option and using the NVidia proprietary drivers or even using bumblebee. This frame tear occurs also on the desktop, but the real problem is that it's very noticeable on video, specially when connecting my HD TV via HDMI. I tested 720p h264 mkv videos and even low res xvid avis in totem and mplayer/Smplayer all equally poor. Using mplayer I tried several vo options, such as xv (intel? xv) and x11, and playback is poor on all of them. Oh, and I don't use compiz (don't care for it). Refresh rate is 60Hz, and should be the right one. It works fine with vlc on the soon to be transformed into free space windows7, but that's not an option for me. I used Ubuntu before on a laptop, but I usually use Gentoo, so I'm not familiar with the ubuntu distro.
The purpose of this laptop was to be my "tv media center" when at home and my work laptop for travelling (13 inch ! ). But it failed miserably on the first count. I'm still using my old celeron based Gentoo laptop with RGB out to my tv for that, still with much better results (it can decode only up to 720p, which is fine). But it is dying! I really don't understand why playback is so poor. Could messing with xconf be the answer?
EDIT: Here's my xorg log. NO VSYNC? Is this right? Please help.
Code:
[ 20.743]
X.Org X Server 1.10.1
Release Date: 2011-04-15
