OpenSUSE Install :: Messed Up NVidia Driver After Upgrade

Jul 26, 2010

I did an upgrade of Nvidia(Latest version v.196) and KDE-base4 to KDE 4.4.4(I think) in Yast2. Now when I reboot the X doesnt start. I claim it can't find any nvidia-module. I thing the upgrade of Nvidia v.196 failed, so I need to know how to reinstall Nvidia in console(CLI). It only boot up in cli. I thought it is so simple to just download the latest driver and install in CLI, but my NetworkManager doesnt start eighter so I don't have any network.

OpenSUSE 11.2 64bits
KDE 4.4.x
Nvidia NV140 Quadro 512MB

I guess my mistake was to upgrade both KDE and Nvidia in the same operation.

Ubuntu :: Ctrl-Alt-F Command Prompts Have Messed Up Output?

Nov 2, 2010

Not sure exactly how to explain it. My command prompt screens are appearing messed up.the resolution appears to have squeezed the command prompt vertically to just a few pixes at the top of the screen. The command prompt appears to also repeat several times horizontally. This is also the case with boot-up.I'm still in the experimental phases of learning how linux works, messing with GDM, and installing/installing some boot screen tweaks here and there to see what would happen.I can't quite remember exactly WHAT I did.

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 Installation :: Not Able To Boot After Installing NVidia Driver

Apr 3, 2011

I have install Ubuntu 10.10 64bit in my sony vaio vpccw16fs which have Nvidia graphics card (GT 230M). I have install it using nomodeset and after entering the system I installed nvidia from System> Administration> Additional drivers. Driver version was current 260.19.06. After installation I was able to see the boot screen but was unable to see the logon screen. The computer froze with the background color of bootscreen which is purple. And I have to restart it and have to choose failsafe graphic mode. And after logging in in failsafe graphic mode. My NVidia driver says I am not using it. How to use nvidia driver properly. I have tried many Tutorials present on internet but none of them works.

Here is my xorg.conf file.

Software :: Installing Nvidia Driver With '.run' Extension In Ubuntu

Jul 22, 2010

I am trying to install Nvidia card driver. The driver has got a .run extension and i don't know how to handle that, I've tried to extract like i did with .tar files but didn't work. I clicked the file while in X window and it opens a terminal and runs for a sec and said i have to exit X window and run as root. so i exit X window and login form CUI, navigate to the folder and type "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.08-pkg1.run" but nothing happens, so i add sudo and tried but All i get is "NVIDIA command not found". I guess this is not a problem but i just don't know how to handle the .run file. please help. I am using Ubuntu Lucid Lynx LTS. I' ve checked other threads and found some issues regarding Nvidia drivers but i wanna know how to handle the .run files.I've windows xp, 7, Puppy Linux and Lucid Lynx on my desktop and whenever i repair windows the GRUB got damaged. Is there a way to recover the loader without reinstalling the whole linux OS like getting into recovery console and fixboot,, fixmbr for restoring windows?

Hardware :: Installing Nvidia Driver In Fedora 10?

Dec 1, 2008

I am having a world of trouble getting my old GeForce2 MX400 to work in a fresh install of Fedora 10. I included the RPMFusion directories, so my yum repolist includes:

rpmfusion-free RPM Fusion for Fedora 10 - Free enabled : 324
rpmfusion-free-updat RPM Fusion for Fedora 10 - Free - Update enabled : 0

But when I type yum list | grep nvidia, nothing comes up. When I type yum install kmod-nvidia or yum install akmod-nvidia, it says there's no package like this. Have these been updated for Fedora V10 yet? If they haven't, I guess I will just have to use another distro. BTW, when I tried installing the driver from the NVIDIA website, it says it needs to recompile the Kernel, and after installing gcc and make, it still gave some weird error about how with kernel 2.6 it can't find the proper kernel headers or something like that. I heard somebody post that you shouldn't use the NVIDIA drivers, they mess up OpenGL, you should you Livna kmod-nvidia.

1) Would you recommend livna kmod-nvidia or Nvidia's own driver's for a GeForce2 MX400 and Fed 10?

2) Whichever you recommend, could you give some clue how to get around either problem I'm having?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Installing Nvidia Mx200 Driver - X Will Not Load ?

Dec 31, 2010

I am trying to setup a computer with xubuntu 10.10 for my dad. It is mostly working, but flash animations/games run somewhat poorly. I think I might be able to fix this by using the non-free nvidia drivers, but I cannot seem to get them installed.

Sysinfo reports that the video card is an nvidia geforce mx200, so I downloaded the nvidia 96 driver package from the repositories, ran the configuration program, & rebooted. As you may guess, x did not load.

I have been working on this intermittently for a few weeks, & I do not remember everything I might have tried to fix it, but here is what I am sure of:

Sysinfo reports that the video card is an nvidia geforce mx200

when i try "sudo modprobe nvidia," I get the message "FATAL: Module nvidia not found." "sudo modprobe nvidia-96" gives no such error.

When I check the Xorg.0.log, I find:

The nouveau driver does not seem to work either, but if I remove the xorg.conf file, x works okay. How to get Flashplayer running more smoothly.

Debian Multimedia :: X Won't Start After Installing Nvidia Driver

Mar 27, 2015

I tried to install drivers for my GeForce GT 630M graphic card. At first, I just installed nvidia-detect and there was a suggestion to install nvidia-driver:

Code: Select allsudo apt-get install nvidia-detect
nvidia-detect
sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver

After reboot, there was a sad ?monitor like this one: [URL] ....

After first failure, I tried to use Debian wiki tutorial for Debian Jessie (probably I should have done this at first )

Code: Select allaptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') nvidia-legacy-304xx-kernel-dkms
echo -e 'Section "Device"
Identifier "GPU Nvidia"
Driver "nvidia"

But also without success. Now I can't use X at all.

OpenSUSE :: Lost Fonts After Installing NVIDIA Driver?

Sep 23, 2010

I have installed SUSE 11.3 and I am using KDE4. I also installed the font "misc-console".

After installing the NVIDIA driver 256.53 the font misc-console becomes useless because it is displayed so much slanted that it is imposible to read. However, if I disable the NVIDIA driver (by replacing "nvidia" with "nv" in xorg.conf), then it works fine. It also works fine in KDE3 and the NVIDIA driver. So, it seems to be a combination between NVIDIA and KDE4. A lot other fonts are also overly slanted and unreadable (like "Sony fixed", "misc fixed", etc.).

If I launch konsole from a terminal, I receive the following warning:

konsole(6928) Konsole::TerminalDisplay::setVTFont: Using an unsupported variable-width font in the terminal. This may produce display errors.

Is there a way that I can use "misc-console" without having to uninstall the NVIDIA driver? I'm just used to this font for my terminal.

The same happens whether I install the driver manually or through YAST, 32 or 64 bit. The video card is NVIDIA 8400GS, the system Athlon 64 4400+

Red Hat / Fedora :: Disabling Nouveau / Installing NVIDIA Driver?

Nov 26, 2010

First some specs:
Fedora 13 (Goddard) 32-bit
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260

The DVI output on my card works just fine to my monitor, which is what I've been using. I installed no drivers; it just worked. However, now I need a duplicate screen to be given via the s-video output, but it doesn't work. Nothing is being given to the tv and nothing is being detected under monitors. From what I understand, this is because I need to install the appropriate Driver.

I downloaded my driver from the nvidia website, but it won't install. it tells me I need to disable nouveau.

Slackware :: Not Able To 'click' With Touchpad After Installing Nvidia Driver

Jan 2, 2011

After compiling the 2.6.36.2 kernel and re-installing the Nvidia proprietary drivers, my touchpad has started to act strange; the cursor seems to glide a lot faster, yet more erratic and when I try to hover over an icon the cursor wont stay still, furthermore I lost the ability to 'click' on anything using just touchpad.

I have checked dmesg and Xorg.log for any clues, as well as removed everything with the exception of the card and device section from my xorg.conf. The issue has nothing to do with compiling the new kernel, as it was working perfect until I installed the Nvidia driver.

Debian Configuration :: Colors Too Bright After Installing Nvidia Driver?

Aug 17, 2011

After I've installed nvidia-vdpau-driver 280.13-1 from debian testing repositories, all the colors on the screen became too bright, except dark colors.

I've tried to change the values from Brightness, Contrast and Gamma, in NVIDIA X Server Settings -> X Server Color Correction, but it doesn't bring everything back to normal.

Either the nvidia driver has problems, or I don't know how to calibrate. But before I installed nvidia-vdpau-driver, I had the nouveau display driver (experimental), and all colors were displayed normally, the same as in Windows 7 and XP.

Fedora :: Installing Nvidia's Propriety Driver From The RPMFuzion Repos

Mar 18, 2010

I borked (broke) my install of Fedora 12 I have an Nvidia 6600 GT AGP card. I was using the Mesa driver. I wanted something better so I tried installing Nvidia's propriety driver from the RPMFuzion repos. Everything seemed to go fine until I tried restarting the computer. It shows the F logo in a balloon type circle filling up and then goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left corner and stays that way. If I press F2 when Fedora is starting then I see a list of what is happening. It gets to the point of ''Starting atd.........OK'' and then it stops and the screen starts flashing. Curiously, earlier in the list it shows that the Nvidia driver starts OK.

If I had to guess I'd say that the xorg.conf file has some setting in it that isn't working with the Nvidia driver. But I have no idea how to get to a prompt so that I can go to the folder containing the xorg.conf file and rebuild the file. Or, if you know better than that and know what I've really done then I'm listening.

OpenSUSE Install :: Installing NVidia Driver For Geforce GTX 275 Fails

Aug 20, 2009

I have just installed openSUSE 11.1 64 bit on my system. Subsequently registered to get an auto-update repo and auto-updated until no more updates were offered. Then I first tried YaST to install NVidia drivers from the NVidia repo (added their repo), but sax2 wouldn't recognize them. So I downloaded their 190. (beta) drivers, installed the kernel source code and gcc 4.3. Then I switched to a console (Ctrl+Alt+F1), closed the x server, ran the driver install as described (gcc 4.3 is installed). Installer said that all is fine (I checked the log to be sure). So I ran sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia, but the driver still isn't recognized.

Fedora :: Installing NVidia's Driver With Their Shellscript But It Didn't Work

Jan 10, 2011

I'm trying Fedora for the first time. I tried installing NVidia's driver with their shellscript but it didn't work for lots of reasons. Has anyone done this before?:[URL].. Does it work? I never used a distro with a package manager before. Aren't there several different drivers for different NVidia cards? How do the instructions in that link make you get the correct driver? And then does it create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?

EDIT: or is the Neaveau driver good enough already? I can't figure out if it's basically a finished product or not.
