Ubuntu :: PC Crashes After Switching To Nvidia GFX?
Oct 14, 2010
My old ATI 4850 graphic card died and since everyone keeps saying that Nvidia is the way to go in Linux I got myself a brand spanking new Gainward GeForce GTX 460 "Golden Sample - Goes Like Hell". Yay! Switching from ATI to Nvidia caused me a lot of problems with drivers and crashes though so I decided to reinstall as I have been upgrading Ubuntu for some time now and I guess it couldn't hurt to start from scratch.
This is what my screen looks like:
I don't mind the purple colours in Ubuntu but this is a bit too much
I can still move the mouse pointer around but I cannot do anything except hard reset.
Everything worked just fine with the ATI card and the new card also works 100 % in Windows 7. So far it seems to work without the driver activated but I really would like it to work.

If I am logged out of GNOME and switch to tty1 and back, I get a stream of errors (which I can't copy...) on a black console. If I am logged in I am fine. This is very annoying because I would like to be able to log out of GNOME while I am running particularly memory-intensive scripts (they approach the limit of my 3.8 GBs of RAM).

Everytime Banshee tries to switch songs from a local folder it crashes with. I have tried completely removing it and reinstalling but that did nothing. Here is what I get when I run it from a terminal.

I'm using ubuntu 10.10 with the proprietary Nvidia-driver for my graphics card. I'd like to switch to the open source Nouveau driver. What is the best way to go about this?

I have been running F12 w/ an Nvidia board (GE Force 5200) for some time now. I installed and configured that board as per the instructions on this forum (very good ones too!) and have had no problems, other than it would not connect directly to a digital/HDMI port, nor would it do vdpau, since it was an older card.
But now, I have a Radeon VisionTek 1550, that has dual outputs, one of which is DVI-D, and I have an adapter to HDMI that actually works well.
I have managed to remove most of the nvidia stuff from F12, in particular the kernel module. But I keep finding various libs getting loaded that are NVidia based. In particular, with xbmc it is looking for OpenGL rendering, and finds an NVidia version.
Sorry for the long diatribe, but how to I get rid of all of these references completely, without reinstalling fedora from scratch?
Also, another question about the radeon configuration: how do I enable and configure radeon's theatre mode via xorg.conf? FWIW: if I run aticonfig I get "no card found".

I have a strange problem that the X-Server freezes when I log out, switch to another virtual console or the like.
It works fine when I boot the kernel without xen.
The problem reduced to a very simple scenario:
* Boot Xen-Dom0-Kernel
* wait until the X11 display manager wants a login
* Press Alt+Ctrl+Fx
==> X11 freezes
I tried with kde4 and with xdm as display manager, both show the same problem. It does not happen when I boot with the XEN-less kernel.
I am using openSUSE 11.1 with all patches on AMD64 and the nvidia driver. 32bit is not a solution, this machine has 16GB Memory (which would be useless ...)

so this is my first post but i have finally gotten linux installed. i currently have debian installed i have 2 different video cards installed
Radeon X600
GeForce4 MX 4000
i know you are probably saying, why in the world do i have an ATI and an NVidia in the same box? because i found one lying around and installed it. i have gotten X to start up and i have a separate X session in each monitor. what i want to do is enable Xinerama but when i put it in to my xorg.conf X wont start at all so basicly i was wondering where the problem lies.i am using the radeon and nv drivers i have read sometimes the nv drivers dont work and also that the module "glx" may also cause problems. i dont want to invest in a bunch of new video cards to get this to work but i just might have to. here is my xorg file
xorg.conf:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" RightOf "Screen1"
Screen 1 "Screen1" LeftOf "Screen0"

I'm running ubuntu 9.10 64 bit (2.6.31-20-generic) on a Z600 HP. My graphics card is Nvidia quadro NVS450. I am using the Ubuntu Nvidia driver 185.18.36. I am experiencing random, daily system freezes where the system has to be manually rebooted. After installing the crash dump packages I am now getting a crash dump file and it's clear the problem relates to my graphics card.
Is this a red herring or the cause of my problems:
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (loader failed,
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X
The NVIDIA X Server Settings shows a message "Failed to query the GLX server vendor".
Here is my xorg.conf file:
$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings: version 1.0 (buildd@crested) Sun Feb 1 20:25:37 UTC 2009

I'm running ubuntu 10.10 I have a Samsung Syncmaster 205BW Monitor and I needed a graphic accelerator to run my science software and to view full screen videos. so I installed the NVIDIA 96.43.19 Driver as recomanded by unbuntu. Well the server installs OK but doesn't completely communicate with my monitor, I'm using GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X/AGP/SSE2 Graphic card. I'm unable to set the correct Resolution which is 1680X1050, the driver only list 1280X1024 and doesn't list the correct one.Also the driver Crashes when I try to set the CPU scaling, it's locked on stretch mode. Also when ubuntu loads X it doesn't accept the Xserver settings I have entered in the driver Set Up.The additional driver screen also says the Driver is active but not in use. I sent a bug report to NVIDIA but they never answered me back.

My amarok crashes everytime. I saw an similar problem posted at OpenSUSE 11.3: Amarok crashes on startup. And I suspect this is because of the nvidia drivers that I installed, just as is the case in the above mentioned thread. What should I do to overcome this now? Is there a solution posted? After I read the above thread, I deleted all the repositories except for the four. I had these following repositories prior:

i've been attempting to get to the bottom of this issue for the past few months, without much luck. i'm currently running 11.3 64-bit (the issue also existed in my previous 11.2 64-bit install) and whenever my laptop is unplugged, the x server will intermittently crash. this issue can be provoked by running flash applications like videos but the same issue will also occur by simply navigating the desktop. the messages log reports the following:
~~~~~
x server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly
~~~~~
the laptop is an alienware m15x with an nvidia gtx 260m. i initially suspected that this was some sort of an acpi issue so i tried disabling acpi for the nvidia card via the "connecttoacpid" xorg option. this did not make any difference so i went as far as shutting down the acpid service. this also did not make any difference. as a quick test, i uninstalled the proprietary nvidia drivers and that seemed to resolve the issue but given the limited functionality of the oss driver, this is not a suitable workaround. keep in mind, i did not run under the oss driver for very long so this result could be just a false positive.

I'm having an issue where the proprietary nvidia driver seems to crash my system. the weird thing is that it only happens if i have already started an X session. here is what i mean. i don't use a display manager so i invoke X by running startx. now if i run it for the first time it starts no problem. but if i kill X with ctrl-alt-backspace and then try to run startx again it just hangs and the machine completely freezes up. this only happens with the proprietary nvidia driver. if i use the vesa driver it works fine. the open-source nvidia driver doesn't seem to support my card: GeForce GT220. i never had this problem with slackware 13 x86. i have tried using the 190.42 version from slackbuilds.org as well as the latest version from nvidia's site 190.53. aside from this problem it seems to work fine otherwise.

I am having an issue with installing OpenSuse 11.2 using an Nvidia 9500GT. I have an AMD X2 64 4200+ processor, 4 gigs of RAM and 250 Gig HD.I was previously using an ATI X1300 but with the issues with 3D and the driver I decided to update my video card. To be clear, OpenSuse installed fine with the ATI X1300 card.
I purchased the 9500GT and installed the card. I then started the 11.2 32bit/i586 install and all goes fine until the install completes. Once you get the warning that the computer is about to restart (after the install completes) the system goes back to the Suse loading screen and then changes to the CLI where I can see what is loading. The last thing I see is that the HAL daemon is starting and then the screen goes black and the system completely locks up.
I have tried this several times using both the 32bit and 64bit KDE versions with the same result. I have tried Mandriva 2010 to see what results I get and it works fine.

I'm using the most recent version of Xorg that is available in the Debian repository (unstable) and it flashes the NVIDIA logo and crashes the whole computer immediately after. Ctrl+Alt+F[0-9] do nothing when this happens.
I've tried reverting to an older NVIDIA driver, but they either cause the same issues (27x.y.z) or require version ignoring for ABI (26x.y.z) which leads to a segfault.
I would be fine running vesa for now, but it doesn't support 1366x768 resolution so I either have to deal with a bad resolution or have part of the screen cut off.

I have an old video card, Nvidia XFX 7800GT, which is now beginning to fail and I need to upgrade. I am not huge a gamer but I do play/buy games on regular basis. Right now I'm playing Eternal Lands on the Linux side. Looking to spend $100-$150 on a new card.I have a Core2Duo Wolfdale 3.0, with 2ghz ram and run Lucid 32bit. Also run windows Vista64Ultimate on dual boot (rarely).
I would love to buy a new ATI 5770 or 5830, ATI budget cards seem to be much better for the buck over budget Nvidia cards, but I'm concerned with ATI drivers and long term with Ubuntu.On the Nvidia side I'm considering the GTS 250. The only advantage I can find is lower power consumption with Nvidia and Ubuntu has always preferred Nvidia over ATI, as far as working drivers go.As Far as Ubuntu and Lucid is concerned, which way is best, ATI or Nvidia? Has anything changed with ATI support, that could make theor cards more compatible now and in the future?

I can't figure out how to install the nvidia drivers for my nvidia 8800 GT video card. I've followed some other posts and all the posts seemed either incomplete, or led me down a path of which eventually broke my installation, that I needed to reinstall the entire ubuntu system.Again, it may not have been broken, i just didnt know how to get back in to the gui version of ubuntu, the instructions took me to the console terminal
1.) I've installed the ubuntu 10.10 64bit for i386 in an oracle virtualBox..
2.) downloaded from nvidia.com "NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.44.run"
3.) Stuck don't know what to do.

Only about 1.5 weeks into Linux guys so bear with me. I'm trying to uninstall the Nouveau driver and install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-71.86.14-pkg1.run for my old Nvidia TNT2 card. Following these directions I run into a problem in the first step. When I execute the Ctrl+Alt+F1 command and get:
Ubuntu 10.10 splat-desktop tty1 splat-desktop login: if I enter splat which I believe is my username and the correct p/w I get an incorrect login response.

I have 9.10 running on an old computer with a Nvidia Vanta-graphics card. Unfortunately these appearently aren't supported by 9.10, since the oldest nvidia drivers in the repository for this build are nvidia-gfx-96, while vanta seem to supported up to nvidia-gfx-71. After some hours of following tutorials, fiddling around and testing I managed to install the 71-drivers. But, the nvidia-settings require nvidia-xconfig to be around, which is embedded with later driver-builds but not with 71.
Fortunately I found a tar.gz at this page, so I downloaded it... but -and here is finally my question- where am I supposed to extract it to and are there other things I should do to get it working? Or, if I'm overcomplicating things, feel free to give me directions on what to do. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything on Ubuntu 9.10 and nvidia-gfx-71, hence I'm messing around for hours by now.

I spent quite a lot of time jumping from one thread to another trying to fix a problem with my NVIDIA drivers in Lucid. I was getting the error message on startup: NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module ...Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0) No drivers available".
After a lot of trial and error, this is what worked for me (I have updated this thread following [URL]):
- Download the latest NVIDIA driver from www.nvidia.com/page/drivers.html
- In the terminal cd to the directory where you downloaded the driver package (e.g., $ cd Downloads)and make it executable (e.g., $ sudo chmod +x ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-256.53.run)
- Edit blacklist.conf $ gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
and add the following lines to the end of the file:
#recommended by http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1467074
blacklist vga16fb
blacklist nouveau
blacklist rivafb

Using online Debian guide, installed latest nvidia-current, glx etc which seems to be 195.xx Machine boots to GUI but monitor setting menu doesnt respond nor is there an nvidia specific one. xorg.conf shows 'nvidia' driver but I suspect I am still on 'nouveau' since the synapatic package manager doesn't show an nvidia xserver-xorg-video choice.
Second question, any trailheads for using wheezy based drivers (i.e. nvidia's latest 270.xx) with squeeze?

The freeze's on my machine only appears when i monitor the temperature of
the gpu. Normally i use gkrellm to monitor temperatures including the gpu temperature. When i stop gkrellm there a no more freeze's on my system. Then i started nvdock which also monitor the gpu temperature and the freeze's are back. Stopping nvdock make the system working normally. I have done a few reboots now, warm and also cold starts und everything works normal.
