1. When I try to enable Desktop Effects it says "Searching for Available Drivers" then says "Desktop effect could not be enabled".
2. When I play and game the has 3d Modeling, it chops to about 3 FPS and is completely unusable. But heres the deal, I have a ATI Raedon X850XT Platinum card, which I know can handle it. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and have everything up to date.
I installed 10.10 (tried upgrade and clean install) on my thinkpad x40. I could not enable desktop effects and video playback is very sloppy. On 10.04 works fine. I tried compiz-check

The vesa driver is not capable of running Compiz, you need to install the proper driver for your graphics card. I tried with newer kenel, but no luck. I tried to install the newer driver from intel. I am not quite sure I managed to install them properly, though. Is this the appropriate sub-forum for this topic, or "hardware and laptops".
I'm running Karmic Koala 64 bit on my Lenovo T400 laptop with switchable graphics having both Intel and ATI video cards. I've set my bios to use the intel card only and turned the automatic switching off. So far so good, but I'd like to turn on compiz for basic window animations. When I try to start compiz by selecting
Code:
"Appearance Preferences" -> "Visual Effects" -> "Normal"
I get an error message saying "Desktop effects cannot be enabled"
Code:
"System" -> "Administration" -> "Hardware Drivers"
doesn't show any new drivers that could be installed. This was working out of the box when I first installed Karmic Koala a few month ago, but things got messed up when I installed the restricted drivers for my ATI card. Now I can enable compiz if I switch to ATI from my bios settings and install the drivers but I don't want to use it due to high power consumption and I've removed the ATI drivers.
Here is my xorg.conf file:

I'm thinking of setting up an older second-hand desktop to run ubuntu. The computer is a Dell Dimension 3000, with a Pentium 4 2.8GHz, currently 512mb ram(thinking of upgrading to 2gb), and integrated graphics. My old laptop is slowly dying, and I'm moving in a few months, and I'd like to use this computer after the move as my main home computer, for the usual internet, email, and word processing, as well as photo manipulation and storage(i'm into photography), and maybe some music recording(it has a really nice sound card).I'd really like to run a dual monitor setup, and I already have 2 VGA flat screen monitors.I'm on a budget(paid $50 for the computer...), but I think I need a video cwith 2 outputs.It doesn't need to be anything for gaming (the most I need it for is the silly effects on ubuntu). The computer has a spare PCI card slot for the card. Maybe something along these lines?:

Edit: Im also getting a low mhash rate of 1.5. Is this correct for a geforce 9400m? Im not too worried about it after I use these new cards. and is there a difference in using laptops vs a pci slot desktop video card?
I am using a Dell Latitude E6510 with QM57/QS57 Intel GMA HD chipset video card, when I am installing the Fedora 14, if I choose the 'Install the new system or update an existing system', it goes to blank screen.if I choose the 'Install system with basic video driver', it starts to install.BUT I cannot use the desktop effects, the Stellarium, etc, it says that 'accelerated 3D graphics is not available'. Even I have updated my kernel to 2.6.35.13-91.fc14.i686. As far as I know, QM57 do support a 3D graphics, what should I do to drive it to work.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just did an install from opensuse 11.0 to 11.3 using the live web install. After the install, I found that the monitor always reverts to 87hz refresh rate and must be manually adjusted to 60hz. Also, there is no adjustment for the monitor resolution beyond 1024 x 768. I can not find the video card info in yast like it was before. Do I need to add the ati sources in yast? Will that give me a way to adjust the video card properties? Video card is the ati rage. Box is a dell optiplex pentium 3.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got some video clips that were shot with an incorrect white balance, which I'd like to correct. Having read that LiVES has color FX, I thought I'd give it a try.
The documentation for LiVES [URL] shows a "colour correction" effect that I don't see anywhere on my copy of LiVES 1.1.5. My digging so far hasn't found a plug-in that does color correction.
I have been messing around with Cinelerra after doing a Final cut pro course some time ago but as it needs to be told what to do more i am finding it hard going. When I have track 1 that has audio and video and also track two has the same then i mute the audio in one and block out the video in then other. Then add effects. It is then moving audio or video around and nothing is in sync anymore. Not where i put things. I undo the effect to see if it will go back but no go. I try to undo to the point where maybe i missed something but nope that is not it. Inevitably i have to redo everything again but then i end up with the whole thing out of sync again. I had a previous install of Ubuntu and Cinelerra and i don't remember striking this problem. Am i not loading the tracks properly. I don't have a good work flow with this and i know i should try something more simple but i am impatient to edit videos i have had for years and years and years. I never did learn editing in windows so i am happy to be getting somewhere in Linux.

In system setting->desktop effect I find Wrote:
The desktop effects are not available on this system, because of the following technical problems.
My video card is ati 3650. driver installed with jokey.
I ran this command:
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.

The reason why I'm pissed because so many people out there that use Linux aways say Microsoft sucks. But I have more problems with Linux, at least with Microsoft problems I can solve. Now since I got that out of my system, here's my issue.
I just installed LTS 10.04 everything was working fine, I have an ATI 5700 card installed so I installed the ATI drivers not the open stuff. After install the drivers worked perfectly no problems. After several days of using the computer, I said I'll run some updates. I did so and rebooted my computer and BOOOM now my ATI drivers do not work. I can't enable desktop effects, can't use cube etc. Not only that but if I go to the prior build it won't work there either. If this was windows 7, I would just reinstall and it would work.
Luckily for me I made a image of my Ubuntu 10.04 and did a restore and everything went back to normal because I restored the image prior to the update. Now just for kicks I ran the updates again to be sure the updates did indeed break the vid drivers. Yep, after the updates ran, reboot, BOOM broke again. What gives? Is it the kernel updates? If so then I guess I'll run updates without updating the kernel. By the way I did try to install the drivers that come with Ubuntu but that work either. I guess I have to do the restore again. I rather use the ATI drivers vs the open stuff.
Questions are the updates unstable? If it is then why release? Can anyone provide any solutions? Should I run updates but skip Kernal changes? If not then what is blowing up the drivers?
I've installed python2.7 and I want all those convenient python libs I've installed from the repos to work with python2.7, but the libs in the repos get installed to python2.6.
No problem, I'll just set the $PYTHONPATH env var so that python2.7 will look at the python2.6 libs. I defined $PYTHONPATH as I wanted in the .bashrc file, and now python2.7 works as I desire when starting it from the shell.
The problem is when I start python2.7 from the gnome desktop (by clicking an application shortcut or button) it doesn't work. My guess is that the env vars set in .bashrc do not effect the gnome desktop, and so my question is what can I do to set an env var on the desktop?
To demonstrate my problem. If I open a bash shell and type "idle-python2.7 -n" idle will open, and I can "import twisted" without any problem in the idle python shell. However, if I do alt-f2 and run "idle-python2.7 -n" idle will still open but sys.path is not set as I would like and I cannot "import twisted". So there is clearly different behavior between an application started from the shell vs one started from the gnome desktop.
Environmental variables have long confused me, I'm also open to other solutions to my "getting python2.6 libs to run in python2.7" problem.
FULL INSTRUCTION: Both .bashrc and .gnomerc are located in your home directory. Put the following at the end of both files:
You should now be able to import the python libs installed from the repos in python2.7.

This is something that I started to notice in F12 and it appears to be the case as well in F13. Any changes that I make to my desktop wallpaper in Gnome don't stay in effect after a reboot. Any ideas as to what is going on here? I don't mind the default blue swirly thing in F13, but I at least want the style change from scale to center to stick.
Choosing the 'set as default' option doesn't seem to help either, as that changes the screen you see at the Gnome login. Once I log into my account the default desktop wallpaper is still there.
Just installed openSUSE 11.4 which comes with KDE 4.5. It has taken a while for me to find my way around and I am still trying to change settings so that VLC is default multimedia app rather than Amarok or similar. how to turn off the jerky dimming effect which was being applied when I close a window. Out of interest does anybody know what memory and cpu overhead these effect costs and how many lines of code? More to the point does anybody know who needs them?
When using Dolphin with column view does anybody know how to have the left margin shown rather than the right. As it is now, with long files names, the right hand end of the filename is shown and to see the directories I have to use a slider to scroll back to the left. I do not recall this being the case before. It used to be that the long file name was cut off unless one scrolled. In that way you could see all the directories and when moving files life was simple. Now this is not the case and actions take longer.
When I first installed openSUSE 11.2, it has no xorg.conf of course, but it detected the subject card and loaded radeon instead of radeonhd. When I used Sax2 to create an xorg.conf for a problem, I noticed that it for the device it created:

When I rebooted with this xorg.conf, lsmod says that it's still radeon that is loaded:

I know that radeonhd does cause some issues with KDE desktop effects, but according to Radeon - openSUSE, the cards above X1900 should be using radeonhd. Instead of either of these, should I try to use the ATI driver fglrx? It seems from my gleaning of forum posts that these have some problems, but I am having some desktop effect issues that maybe would be addressed with that driver.

I plugged in a SDCard (SanDisk 4GB) with the write protect On in my Ubuntu system. Ideally this shouldn't have allowed me to write to this card. But it did. And that's when I found that it was getting mounted as a rw filesystem instead of ro. But the same card when I inserted it in another Ubuntu system with write protect On, this problem was not there. So nothing wrong with the Card.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've just completed a successful clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (32 bit).Out of the box, Desktop effects worked flawlessly.However, after installing the Ati driver from the Hardware Drivers utility, when I try to enable Normal desktop effects (Instead of None) I get a message saying "Desktop Effects Could Not Be Enabled". The Hardware Drivers utility says "Driver is installed and currently in use"
Installing and running glxgears from a terminal gives the error: "Segmentation Fault".The hardware in question is an Ati Radeon 4xxx series (I think it's a 4800 but can't remember exactly)
how do i enable visual effects. whenever i click to enable it says searching for available driver. then it says desktop effects can not be enabled. I am trying to enable them so i can do the cube and stuff.
