Ubuntu :: Driver Installed, Effects Still Not Working?

Jul 29, 2010

Since the last driver error I had posted the thread was starting to drift WELL off the original issue so now I am opening a new thread since it IS a whole different problem in general;So, I was having issues with my driver not being enabled. After I installed it manually it appeared to be correct how-ever when I ttried to enable special effects, and compiz, it didn't work.And even after a correct installation of the driver some windows when they pop up look like static then appear.Graphics card is an:nVidia 6150SE onboard card.I know it can handle compiz, and effects, because it did before on the other version of ubuntu I had.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Can't Enable 3d Effects Even If Restricted Nvidia Driver Is Installed

Aug 29, 2010

Can't enable 3d effects on lucid lynx even if restricted nvidia driver (v195.36.24) is installed and activated. Actually 3D effects were working with compiz etc, but at a given moment -not sure if after the final release of the 10.04 - they stopped working, and now it always fails to enable them.

Ubuntu Networking :: Unclaimed When Working Driver Installed?

Jun 7, 2010

I'm using a Dell with Broadcom bcmwl6.inf driver. I tried the guides using ndiswrapper, but they didn't work for me. What worked was simply going to System -> Administration -> Hardware drivers and activating the Broadcom STA proprietary driver. That sounds great, but every time I restart, I have to remove and install the driver from Hardware Drivers.

What should I do to keep the driver loaded and claimed at the start. This is my lshw -C network before and after removing and installing wireless card driver.

Ubuntu Networking :: Installed Driver Via Ndiswrapper. Wireless Still Not Working?

Mar 30, 2011

Before I start off, I must say that I know NOTHING about Ubuntu. I only know how to run .deb files. So I installed my wireless driver via the graphical ndiswrapper (FYI my wireless adapter is a Proxim 8424-WD). It then said "Unable to see if hardware is present". After I exited out of that message, it said "Hardware:Present" (or something of that sort) next to the newly installed driver. I tried searching for wireless networks and found none. I'm guessing something didn't work right. I used this command "lshw -C network" and got the following result.

Ubuntu :: Cannot Enable Effects Blacklisted Driver

May 7, 2010

Took my laptop into the computer shop for a format and asked what they thought of Linux etc, they suggested i tried Ubuntu and installed it for me.Ive been searching around trying to get past the fact that my graphics card is black listed so i can enable effects but am having no luck, im not to worried about flashy effects like the cube but i would like to tidy up my desktop as it is very cluttered with the original setup im not sure how to post a screen shot but all the icons are very big and un-appealing.would love to simplify it all and maybe have the window navigator along the bottom.Im not to confident with using the Terminal, but have had a go at Compiz-Check etc and some random commands.

Ubuntu :: Crash After Installing Visual Effects Driver

Jan 7, 2010

I just downloaded and installed the latest version of Ubuntu on my laptop. After installing the drivers for the visual effects I restarted the computer, and now after the all black screen with the little white Ubuntu symbol in the middle the screen goes blank, lots of horizontal lines appear and it contrasts out to a completely blank, white, useless screen. Any suggestions? EDIT: laptop is a Toshiba 5105, bumped up to 1.2gb of RAM

Ubuntu :: Compositing Effects Don't Work With Closed ATI Driver

Jun 28, 2010

I've just installed Kubuntu 10.04 (Specifically Linux Mint 9 KDE, but this is definately an upstream problem)

I installed the closed-source driver for my Ati Radeon 4x series using the Hardware Drivers tool. However, when I now reboot, compositing (desktop effects) are disabled.

Going into the Desktop section of System Settings, I recieve an error message "Compositing is temporarily disabled" Clicking "Resume Compositing" pops up a KWin notification saying I need to press Alt+Shift+F12 to resume compositing.

If I do this keyboard shortcut, the Desktop settings dialogue tells me compositing is active, but really it isn't (no desktop effects, software is drawing the windows etc)

Uninstalling the driver and reverting to the open-source one is not an option for me, unless anyone knows how to make Runescape work in OpenGL.

Ubuntu :: Cannot Update Video Driver For Advanced Effects

Jul 11, 2010

I just installed linux Mint 9, although I was having the same exact problem with ubuntu 10.04. Just testing mint out for a bit. I am running on the 64 bit OS. When I got to select advanced visual effects, It goes to enable the drivers but then I get this message.

"SystemError: Failed to fetch [url] Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.45 80]"

It used to work before but then just stopped one day when I booted up. I use Docky, and it won't work without the drivers because it requires compositing to work properly. I am using a Nvidia GTX 260 video card if that has anything to do with it.

Ubuntu :: Can't Enable Desktop Effects After Removing Old Driver?

I'm getting tired of it. I wouldn't have removed the driver except that I think it was effecting my booting because I was booting to a blank screen (and it wasn't my ram)

Ubuntu :: Advanced Desktop Effects Without Proprietary Driver 10.10

Dec 14, 2010

Is it possible to enable the desktop effects without enabling the proprietary driver? Im using an Asus 51vx with Nvidia Geforece GTX 260m and the proprietary drivers kind of suck. My resolutions (although set correctly) are distorting pictures, my dual monitors is being funky and unpredictable... etc. Everything works great without the drivers installed except i cant enable advanced desktop features so my awn looks good . I know its just cosmetics, but i love my cosmetics, and they took a loooong time to get perfect.

if this is a repost but i couldnt find it anywhere. (so much info about advanced desktop effects out there).

Fedora :: ATI Drivers Installed Successfully But KDE Won't Run Desktop Effects / Solve It?

Dec 8, 2010

I didn't post this thread in the hardware section because I got my ATI propitiatory drivers installed successfully and my problem seems to be with KDE. I'm trying to enable Desktop Effects for KDE.

The story is that ATI drivers installed correctly but when I go to "Application Launcher" => "System Settings" => "Desktop Effects" I can't enable Desktop effects and it has the following message:

"Desktop effects are not available on this system due to the following technical issues:
Required X extensions (XComposite and XDamage) are not available."

First of all I don't really know what this means. I have done some Googling around and have found a few places suggesting that I should enable the "Damage" and "Composite" extensions in my xorg.conf. I have done that, as you can see in the attached Xorg.conf file. It still doesn't work.

Ubuntu :: 10.10 - Desktop Effects Not Working

Oct 18, 2010

I am using Kubuntu 10.10, and I have an Nvidia GT 320M with driver version 260.19.12 (updated from 260.19.09 i think) on my laptop. Suddenly, my desktop effects stopped working, and the window borders and window manipulation buttons are getting mixed up with everything else when i mouseover them or click on them (I guess some desktop effect I had is malfunctioning or not functioning at all?). Under System Settings -> Desktop Effects, I can only see grey'd out options, which won't let me enable desktop effects.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 - No Compiz Effects Seems To Be Working

Dec 2, 2010

I've been running an emerald theme in compiz for few months now and everything was running fine when a couple days ago VLC started acting weird and playing little static clicks every few seconds. Then the next time I booted up after an initial second of flashing my full desktop the screen blanked off a section on the left and bottom of my screen. When I logged in docky told me it was having trouble with the compositing, but when I scrolled over the spot where my docks are they were there. My arrow can be seen in the black areas as can the start panel when I scroll over it, but aside from that it is black and when I open I window the blackness covers it in that part. None of my compiz effects seem to be working.

I am running a pretty basic motherboard and I know basically nothing about this kind of thing but I looked up the built in integrated video card online : ATI Radeon - HD3000 Graphics, On Board Graphic Max. Memory Share Up to 512 MB. I have an ATI driver installed but when I look at my drivers it says it is installed but not currently in use. When I look at my visual effects page it is on none, so I tried changing it to normal and it says the effects can't be enabled. I am running a dual boot with windows and when I go into windows there doesn't seem to be any problems. I am running a Biostar A760G M2+, an AMD AthlonII x4 and running Ubuntu 10.04.

Ubuntu :: Get Compiz / Desktop Effects Working?

Jul 2, 2010

I hope this is the correct section. I have recently updated to 10.04 and now Compiz/desktop effects wont work. When I try to turn visual effects on I get a message saying they could not be enabled. I'm a bit new to all this so not sure if I'm doing something wrong.I've looked at many threads regarding this problem and nothing they say has worked. iv tried using Hardware Drivers (in systems administration) but this says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system".

Also I don't know whether this effects anything but when I open NVIDIA X Server Settings (in systems administration) i get a message saying "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server."Does anyone know how I can get Compiz/desktop effects working?.

Ubuntu :: Visual Effects Preferences Button Not Working

May 4, 2010

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04. I added the simple-ccsm package through apt-get. I like the new option I now have under the Visual Effects tab in Appearance Preferences. I can now choose None, Normal, Extra, or Custom. The problem is when I click the "Preferences" button beside custom nothing happens. It should open simple-ccsm. In fact if I try to run simple-ccsm from the terminal I get this;

/usr/bin/simple-ccsm:40: DeprecationWarning: Use the new widget gtk.Tooltip
Tooltips = gtk.Tooltips()
/usr/bin/simple-ccsm:182: DeprecationWarning: Use the new widget gtk.Tooltip
Tooltips = gtk.Tooltips()
/usr/bin/simple-ccsm:545: DeprecationWarning: Use the new widget gtk.Tooltip
Tooltips.set_tip(widget, _(("Can't find the animation plugin.")))
/usr/bin/simple-ccsm:415: DeprecationWarning: Use the new widget gtk.Tooltip
[Code]....

The regular compizconfig-settings-manager works fine and I actually prefer it. So my question is; can I bind the "Preferences" button to open ccsm instead of simple-ccsm? If not, how can I fix the simple-ccsm package?

OpenSUSE :: 3D Effects No Longer Working

Sep 15, 2010

I did an update to KDE 4.5 recently, and afterwards noticed that 3D effects were no longer enabled. When I try to enable them from desktop settings, I get a pop up in the panel that says another application is preventing compositing (or something like that).

I have the nvidia 256.53 drivers installed and 'glxinfo' says direct rendering is on. I'm also using X server 1.9, but compositing was working with the new X server before I did the update to 4.5.
