Ubuntu :: Option For OpenGl To Use Restricted Drivers?

May 18, 2010

I have been using EnvyNG for my nvidia 9600 for a few ubuntu versions now, but cant find envy after doing a clean install of lucid. When I installed lucid and added the sources, Envy is not there. Does this mean envy no longer used, or is not updated for lucid?

Is my only option for OpenGl to use restricted drivers? I think the restricted drivers are causing me some grief with compiz & emerald. I frequently lose emerald, & have to reload the windows manager. I rarely saw these issues with karmic or jaunty.

Ubuntu :: 8.10 Restricted Accelerated Drivers Not Enabling?

Feb 20, 2010

due to a crash on window's part my computer crashed and I decided to install the latest version of Ubuntu. (9.10) However as it happened, it was actually incompatible with the usb on my computer an Acer AM5641 desktop. So I opted for 8.10 which works like a charm except for the fact that the restricted drivers for my graphics card (an Nvidia 7900 GS that I installed) don't work. After clicking "enable driver" everything appears to go as normal. Except for the fact that when I restart it, it automatically goes into safe mode, and i can't save it at a higher resolution than 800x600.

Ubuntu :: Blank Screen After Install Restricted Drivers

Aug 9, 2011

I just reseantly got an Asus Essentio CM1730-05 desktop and I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on it with Wubi. After doing so, I installed the restricted driver for my onboard ATI Radeon 3000 graphics. After doing so I get to a blank screen right after the splash screen. Also I think it is frozen because I don't here the Log in music and I have to hard reboot instead of just hitting the power button. If you need to know more about my hardware just ask. Also I have tried two different monitors.

A Dell M991 and my HDTV. I have used the following hook ups to the HDTV-DVI to HDMI and HDMI to HDMI. The Dell M991 is like any older monitor. Just that one VGA hook up. I noticed there is an Asus section so I hope that this is still the right spot. I have tried the following. Replace quiet splash with nomodeset and also i915.modeset=1. I have yet to try i915.modeset=0.

Ubuntu :: Installing Restricted Drivers On LiveUSB (Persistent Install)

Jun 5, 2010

I made a quick little USB install of Ubuntu using the USB Creator thing in Ubuntu 9.10 (I gave it room to store data also). I use this USB on two computers (Both Toshiba Laptops) and one of them needs restricted drivers for 3D. If I install them, will it mess up where it won't work on any other computers?

Ubuntu :: Restricted Nvidia Drivers Break Geforce 240 Graphics?

Jun 21, 2010

I attempted to install restricted drivers using jockey-gtk, was told to reboot and drivers would take effect. Rebooted and got no graphics, after some finagling I was able to delete xorg.conf and I now have horrific looking graphics. Defaulted to current version or 195 (which is also the only option I see in the jockey tool, however in synaptic/apt I see I can install other versions.

Ubuntu :: Run Compiz In LiveUSB W/ Nvidia Or ATI Cards W/o Restricted Drivers?

Oct 10, 2010

Compiz works out of the box in Live systems when run on computers with integrated Intel graphics chips.Is there a way to make it work on system with Nvidia or ATI chips? Even if I have persistence enabled, downloading and installing the drivers does not carry over to the next session and it again throws up a "restricted drivers available/needed" prompt.P.S The purpose of doing this is for demos. Plugging in a live system and letting people play with whizbang effects is the best way to convert them

Ubuntu Installation :: Proprietary NVIDIA Graphics Drivers From Restricted Repo?

Jul 17, 2011

As this question pops up quite often on IRC and, as a quick search told me, on this board as well, I decided to put together some directions that, with some or the other variation, also apply to other Linux distributions and have never failed me. The following is confirmed to work for Kubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal 64bit with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 240 and on Kubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal 32bit with a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900XT graphics card.

This HowTo will describe how to install the proprietary NVIDIA graphics card drivers using exclusively the command line. I strongly suggest you try this method for a fresh install of graphics drivers before trying any other method, especially a GUI-driven one (I never used a GUI for package management on a Debian-ish system, but I hear that the Ubuntu Software Center supposedly has a way of installing proprietary graphics drivers).

The restricted packages repository should be enabled by default. To the more experienced users: This HowTo uses apt-get for demonstrating the install process. If you prefer using aptitude, feel free to replace the commands accordingly. First steps. As well be doing everything on the command line, first open a terminal application from your desktop environments menu or from a shortcut icon on your panel, if you have one. You should be greeted by a prompt that looks like this:

Fedora Hardware :: Get OpenGL Without Nvidia Drivers?

I tried again (with easylife this time) and I got the same result - once the kmod was finished I just got a cursor - so two tries with two different methods, same result. So, is there a generic type driver that will at least take advantage of some of the features of my geforce 6800?

Red Hat / Fedora :: Terminal At Boot Time / Opted To Install ATI Drivers When Alerted To Restricted Ones By Pop-up?

Jan 1, 2010

I recently installed Fedora - it seems like a nice interface and I want to experience the system before deciding whether I want to keep using it over my ever reliable Crunchbang, which gives me absolutely no grief whatsoever. However, it is nice to use an attractive interface now and again.So, here's my problem - I opted to install the ATI drivers when alerted to the restricted ones by the pop-up. I took note of how to disable them again if there were problems with the display after reboot. There was a problem with the display (black screen) and I can't get the command entered at boot time because the only command line environment I have an option for is GRUB. Grib does not recognize any of the 'aticonfig --initial -f' command that ATI instructed me to use to get things back to normal. How do I do this? I prsume others have been there and will know how to guide me. - getting the graphical interface to display better graphics. I want the eye candy that desktop effects give. I am hoping Fedora won't let me down here because I could simply continue to use Ubuntu which only gives one problem with the window resize delay.

Debian Hardware :: Can't Get OpenGL To Work On Radeon Free Drivers (Jessie)

Apr 1, 2014

I'm using Debian Jessie. All the firmware packages are properly installed, and so are the radeon free driver packages.

However, Gallium falls back to llvmpipe, which from what I understand is a software rasterizer and not actually hardware rendering.

Everything works fine except some specific things like KDE's cube animation, which says it can't be enabled because it requires OpenGL.

How do I get Debian to run Gallium properly?

I attached some relevant info...

Fedora :: Wine/opengl/32 To 64 Bit - Cannot Load OpenGL When Try To Start WoW

Oct 19, 2009

I just upgraded from FC8 (32-bit) to FC11 (64-bit). In doing so, I backed up my entire World of Warcraft folder so I could try to avoid having to download and install it all over again. However, I've now reinstalled wine (64-bit now), and the nvidia drivers from the rpmfusion repos (also 64-bit), and when I try to start WoW, it says it cannot load OpenGL. I'm wondering if anyone knows what's up, and if there's a solution that doesn't involve reinstalling WoW.

OpenSUSE Install :: Lose By Adding The X11failsafe Option In Menu.lst / NVidia Drivers?

Jul 21, 2011

My install of 11.4 (& 12.1) won't load unless I add the X11failsafe option to the loading of 11.4 (& 12.1) in the Grub menu.lst file. They bomb out after resetting the video when booting. I don't need to do this with my 11.3 install. Upon closer inspection 11.3 is using the nouveau nVidia driver, whereas both 11.4 & 12.1 are using the fbdev nVidia driver. My Hardware is a GEForce 6150SE and a Samsung SyncMaster 933SN. I have a couple of questions

1) What do I lose by adding the X11failsafe option in Menu.lst?

2) Can I, should I, replace the fbdev driver with something else. If yes, What? Nouveau?

Ubuntu :: Install A Nvidia Driver Without Using "Hardware Drivers" Option?

Sep 27, 2010

I want to install the driver manually since its not "Hardware Drivers" list when I choose to install. Last time I tried doing it I was dual booted under Vista and I killed my Ubuntu partition somehow. I formatted today and I'm under Ubuntu so I really don't want to screw up again haha! I downloaded the drivers and its sitting in "Downloads" waiting for a reply! Oh and the reason I screwed up was cuz another forum told me I had to uninstall some other graphic driver that was there by default and I couldn't get a GUI back and didn't know how to reinstall it :S I am a Linux noob, not familiar with the command terminal.

Ubuntu :: Restricted SSH Access ?

Apr 14, 2010

I'm trying to lock down SSH for a particular user who wants to use my server for some development, so I'm making him a little play area.

Problem is I'm having difficulties locking the account down.

I've implemented bashrc which appears to be what I wanted at first, restricting the user to a user directory of my choice, but I now find that firstly the user can't use cd at all, not even cd to directories within the users home directory.

But also I've found bashrc to be pretty pointless security wise because I can just type sh and then do what ever the hell I want? Such as cd / and then ls and see everything on the server.

So I'm wondering if anyone has a solution to this for me?

I want the user to be able to make directories and cd into them in their own user area but not cd .. or / out of their user area.

Ubuntu :: Restricted Items Don't Initialize Fully

Feb 10, 2010

It's my CPU scaling and dual mode modem that aren't initializing properly on startup. The CPU scaling starts up in 'performance' mode and doesn't throttle back to 'on demand' like it should, and like it used to. Also the modem starts up as a usb mass storage device and the boot process should, and used to, toggle it into modem mode.

It certainly looks like it is a user rights issue as both devices require me to sudo the change from userspace. I'm on 9.10 64bit with a fairly new install, I havent done anything abnormal to the system except change the default lang from UTF-8 to ISO-8859. other than that I've only installed packages from synaptic, and done the recommended updates. I don't know exactly where the problem started.

I'm a noobee at reading log files. I generally only get about a half a screenfull read before I realize my eyes are crossing and my brain has gone completely non-functional. Here is the output from dmesg... Very near the end I see it recognize the Cricket(modem) device, but I see no errors...
