Ubuntu :: No Graphics Driver In 10.04?

May 1, 2010

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.

Ubuntu Installation :: NVIDIA Graphics Driver - Graphics Mode Option Via The Start (GRUB)?

Jan 26, 2010

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.

Ubuntu :: Lag After Graphics Driver Installation?

Jul 24, 2011

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.

Ubuntu :: Runlevel 3 And Graphics Driver?

Sep 16, 2010

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."

Ubuntu :: Get Resolution 1440x900 / Graphics Driver

Feb 8, 2010

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...

Ubuntu :: Lucid Keeps Losing Graphics Driver?

Jun 4, 2010

I'm having a weird problem with Lucid: whenever I boot my system, it seems to forget there's a graphics driver. The result is that windows don't have title bars, and anything involving fancy graphics is turned off.When I go to the "appearance" settings, I can go to "visual effects", select "normal", and the machine starts looking for a driver, which is found After that shading effects are once again on, but the windows still don't have title bars If I then start the Compiz settings manager, that window and any window that appears thereafter does have a title bar.That way my desktop configuration is pretty much how I want it. The problem is that after starting up again, all the wonkiness is back.

Ubuntu :: Propitiatory ATI Graphics Driver Chaos

Mar 6, 2011

I own a computer with an ATi Radeon Xpress 200 integrated graphics chip (yes, I am aware of everything that entails). Anyway, I tried installing the proprietary ATi driver using this tutorial and now I can't get any 3D effects and Flash is even worse than before. [URL]. I have run an update and it came up with a long list of updates which I installed, but to no avail.

I'm aware all this was probably a mistake so can I ask for either:
a) how to reverse what I've done or
b) how to make the proprietary driver work for me (if possible)

Ubuntu :: Can't Boot 11.04 Graphics Card Driver

Apr 30, 2011

i was trying to uninstall old nvidia driver and install new driver via terminal. i used these commands (sudo dpkg -p nvidia -173; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove) and then this is the one that froze up on me (sudo apt-get install nvidia-current)computer froze while installing the new driver. now i cant boot up ubuntu 11.04. i get the grub menu but cant boot OS. i cant get recovery mode to boot either. it stops after it reads my dvd drive. i dont remember exactly what i did to get this message but i got a message that says alloc magic is broken at 0xb7ce5c80. im assuming that i have no graphics card driver installed and this is why i cant boot. is there anyway to boot from a live cd and manually install the graphics card driver? im on a dual boot with win7 and upgraded from ubuntu 10.10 so i dont really want to do a clean install and have to install tons of software etc.

Ubuntu :: Use Graphics Driver Vendor's Tool Instead?

Apr 6, 2010

i am using a alienware m17x QX9300 ATI 4870 CrossfireX 1920x1200p and till now was working fine with ultimate on it,now i don't know what happen ,before open the login screen is telling me that he has to start with low resolution,and after login sometimes is freezing.when i try to open display to set the resolution is giving me this: It appears that your graphics diver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead? and if i press yes is giving me this: There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux Edition. It could be caused by the following. No ATI graphics driver is installed, oor the ATI driver is not functioning properly. Please install the ATI driver appropriate for you ATI hardware, or configuer using aticonfig Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file - maybe there's some weirdness in it :

SubSection "Display"

Ubuntu Networking :: No Ethernet After Graphics Driver Install?

May 3, 2010

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my PC last weekend. Other than the fact I had no sound (that's another story...), everything went fine. I then got prompted to install nvidia graphic drivers. Since I installed them and rebooted, i cannot get acces to my ethernet connection. I tried the solutions listed here, but none worked. Also, when i boot on my windows OS, the Internet is working properly. I tried tonight re-installing Ubuntu 10.04. I thought if the graphic caused problem, maybe a new blank installation would just do it.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Which Driver For Nvidia Graphics Card?

Jun 6, 2010

After having some trouble with Intel graphics I decided to pick up a PCI Nvidia graphics card. Now I am wondering what driver to use. Is the open source drive good enough to use or should I install the Nvidia driver? I know that things are generally easier with the default driver, especially for support on older cards, but I would like to get the best performance I can. This is for my Dad's computer, so he won't be playing any games, but if it will help with 2D and video that would be great.

The card is an Geforce FX5200 fanless card, I've heard they are well supported in Linux.The computer is a P4 Dell 3000 with Ubuntu desktop 10.04 32bit.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Installing Nvidia Graphics Driver On 10.04?

Oct 3, 2010

I am having problems installing the graphics driver (from the Nvidia website) for my Nvidia Vanta card on Ubuntu 10.04. I disabled X via terminal and then I ran a Virtual Console. With the virtual console I ran the chmod command and the went through the installation. It did bring up a message with something about my distro not having a pre-configured script (or something like that) and asked me if I would like to continue anyway. I choose Yes and the installation failed.

Ubuntu :: Black Screen After Installing Graphics Driver?

Nov 27, 2010

just installed 10.10 on my Sony Vaio F laptop. Here's my specs:Processor: Intel Core i7 720QM (1.6 GHz)Memory: 6 GB DDR3 (1333 MHZ)Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 330M (1 GB VRAM)Hard Drive: 500 GB (7200 rpm)Native Resolution: 1920x1080I shrunk my Windows partition, installed Ubuntu on it's own partition with swap space, and mostly everything went fine. When I booted up, the resolution was set at something like 2048x1536, and it only displayed the top left corner of about 70% of the screen. When I changed to any other resolution, it looked really bad, and the whole screen still wasn't displayed.

Then something popped up telling me to install a driver for my graphics card, so I did, figuring it would fix the problem. When I booted and picked Ubuntu, I was stuck with a black screen. So I restarted and tried booting into safe mode. I got in, and it displayed the whole screen at 800x600. Still no luck in regular mode, however.
