I am trying to install Ubuntu Server on a tower with no graphic output (no graphic card, no graphic on the motherboard). Then, I�ve solved two ways:
1. (What I wanna try): Take a graphic card "rent", just for the installation. And remove it after.
2. Take the Server HD and install it on another computer, then replace.
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got ubuntu..I wanted to play team fortress 2.Runs great in wine etc.But 1 problem.It keeps saying my graphic card is outdated.I cant see anything.So I downloaded the driver from nvidia website.Followed some instructions.But it says cannot open binary file or something.Is there any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

My graphic output is not that nice. How do I find out what kind of driver Centos is using? Can I fine-tune its performance? I tried to install the driver(NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.36-pkg1) from NVIDIA website but it failed. I got the following log file.

ERROR: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing.For further details, please see the section INSTALLING THE NVIDIA DRIVER in the README available on the Linux driver download page at[url]...
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 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have recently installed 9.10 on my pc. All seems ok except there is a lot of noise coming from the tower now. It sounds like one of those old dial up modems that computers used to have. It starts right after the ubuntu starts. On the first install I had vertical lines on the screen that would become more broken the busier th computer was.So I installed again selecting to use lower graphics mode before installation. The lines have gone but I can't use avant window navigator as I get an error message saying the screen hasn't been composited. It invites me to use compiz to do this but a really can't see how.Also it won't let me select visual effects in appearance preferences. The most annoying thing is the noise like an old modem is constantly trying to connect to the web.

I've tried getting out of "normal" install by hitting ESC key, and selecting noapic and noa..p..l something?
No improvements.
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04. I should have two graphic cards, and they are both detected in the terminal.
Code:
lspci | grep VGA
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation C77 [GeForce 8200] [10de:084b] (rev a2)
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation G98 [GeForce 8400GS] [10de:10c3] (rev a2)
Both cards have monitors plugged into their VGA ports, but only one of the monitors shows a display. The other monitor goes into power saver mode right after start up. Nvidia X Server settings only shows a single graphics card (the 8200) and a single monitor (detect monitor finds nothing). Going through Prefences: Monitors also only shows a single monitor and doesn't detect a thing when detect monitors is clicked.
Monitor one has 1440 x 900 resolution and I'm not sure what the resolution of Monitor two is supposed to be, but it displays rather nicely at being set to 1440 x 900.
Both graphics cards are detected and usable in Vista, but a quick switch of the plugs shows that only the 8200 is registering in Ubuntu.
Ideally I want to have a dual monitor set up, with one screen showing documents or pictures with the other using Gimp or Blender.
I've downloaded both Kubuntu and Ubuntu and tried to install them. Both methods (wubi and cd).However I encounter the same problem, I think it's a graphic crash because I see some patern of pixels right after it loaded.I've made a pic (here) using my phone.However this problem doesn't occure in Ubuntu 8.04 (8.04 because I ordered some CD at that time).An option would be to install 8.04 then upgrade till the latest, but I'm worried about encoutering the problem right after that.Some specs:AMD Athlon II X4 3.0 GHz2 GB RAM DDR2NVidia 240GT160 GB HDD

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to install CentOS 5.3 on my IBM IntelliStation Z Pro 6221/37G, powered by some extra equipments as nVidia NV44 GeForce 6200 video card, MV88SX6041 SATA II Controller, 2x1GB DRAM.
The problem: CentOS 5.3 DVD i386 didn't install, the screen becomes unreadable because of vertical bars just after anaconda start running. Choosing at boot time different "linux resolutions" did not help, as well as the "text mode" still useless because Logical Volumes need to be created/handled and the graphical interface is mandatory.
Same result booting CentOS 5.2 Live CD. This sounds really strange to me. I checked iso images against their md5sum and are ok. Centos 5.3 x86_64 does not boot yet :"Your CPU does not support long mode", evem they are 2 x Xeon 2.8GHz / 512KB
I have just installed Lenny but I can not see any graphic Desktop. I got only a movil window with the message:Input not supported. Because of it I think the resolution my screen is not fixed right.I tried to re-configure with:# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorgbut I can not reconfigure the screen.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'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:

View 2 Replies View RelatedI had the following problem while i installed fedora on my machine: The boot record was normally read from the installation CD and the boot screen appear, (up to this moment my Graphic Adapter is going fine) then i select the first option (which is the default as well) to boot fedora from the CD, and suddenly my monitor inform me that there is no input signal. I think it might be some driver problem, but my adapter is pretty common i think (NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT), so its not very likely.
Things i have to note:
1. My Adapter is working on my Windows installation.
2. I manage to install fedora by removing my GeForce 9600 GT and using the on board Graphical Card from my main board.
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".
