HOWTO: Latest NVIDIA drivers on Ubuntu Breezy

[tseliot]

i checked out your script for dapper. i have a few questions

i notice it still unisintalls the restricted modules, i need those for madwifi, do you know if a simple way to reinstall them? or to avoid uninstalling them? i never got the modules working on gentoo, i had to use them as a command line program rather than a kernel module i think..

also what is that patch it applies? what does it do?

it looks like the main difference here is it just copies the modules/libs to a slightly different directory

ill try the patch tonight, im not on my home computer right now

thanks
EDIT: I didn't notice you were successful. I'm glad you made it.

I got it to work yesterday. Tseliot in your guide for nvidia-glx-legacy delete the part where you had "linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`-nvidia -legacy" that package doesnt exist anymore.

All i did was this to get it working:
sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-kernel-common linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy


The newest version of nvidia-glx-legacy installs nvidia-settings by itself along with linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`-386 so you dont need to. Make sure you don't have linux-restricted-modules-386 that screwed my X up.....
Which version of Ubuntu do you refer to? If you are talking about Dapper Drake then I agree with you (it's all in my guide for Dapper).

[tseliot]

Just set up my nVidia correctly on a GeForce 6100 set using method 2. Thanks, tseliot.

However, the sound on my board, using an nForce 430 is still not working. I downloaded the drivers and successfully recompiled the kernel, but there is still no sound. This probably isn't a big problem, since I haven't the slightest clue what I'm doing. Can anyone point me to a guide for this? Thanks.
I do not own that motherboard and I wouldn't know how to help you. I'm sorry.

well last night i actually did get my original install working ONCE.. it booted up with the right drivers. everything seemed good, until i rebooted
then i kept getting some kind of version mismatch.. i was pretty annoyed and frustrated, and since i had only just recently installed it and hadnt done anything on it except for screw around with driver issues. i reformatted/reinstalled ubuntu AGAIN

this time i got all the new updates from the package manager, but didnt try to install my own kernel, or install nvidia drivers from the nvidia site

all i did was type the apt-get install nvidia-glx
and edit the 2 lines in the xorg.conf

rebooted.. 100% perfect.. i have the newest nvidia drivers, and madwifi!
so.. i dont get it cause i coulda sworn i tried that 2 days ago and it didnt work
but it worked last night, perfectly. which makes me happy but also makes me wonder what the hell i did wrong the first time ;)

either way im just happy to finally have it set up right

so basically method1 is what i used, it worked
except i didnt install the nvidia-settings thing, for some strange reason when i try to select it in the advanced package manager it tells me it has to uninstall nvidia-glx.. so i decided not to install it ;)

[tseliot]

My apologies but I may have mucked something up.

Before I saw your post, I was mucking about, to see if I could get things figured out, on my own. I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver, then reinstall it, but when doing so, after it compiles, it exits with an error related to a libnvidia-tls.so.1 already existing. I tried deleting that particular file, but it still happens.

The file seems to appear in /usr/lib/ and /usr/lib/tls

:-|
Please, don't try to reinstall the driver. Follow my previous advice and then post the content of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

I think your xorg.conf can be crucial in this case.

As my guide for Dapper says, you mustn't install nvidia-settings as it's alerady included in the nvidia-glx package.

[rj686]

also dont install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`-nvidia-legacy if your using dapper because it doesnt exist :)

it says to install that in your guide...

[pkt-zer0]

Hi there, new guy to Linux, here.
I've tried both methods 1 and 2, to not much avail. X kept complaining about it not being able to load a kernel module since the video card was unsupported.
Any suggestions on which specific drivers I'd have to use and/or log files I'd have to post to get this GeForce 2 Ti sitting in my AGP slot working with hardware acceleration?

I had corrected that but only in the "HOW TO UNINSTALL THE DRIVER" section.

I forgot to change it in Method 1.

Thanks for making me notice :) .

You shouldn't have used Method 1 and Method 2 together.

Uninstall the driver from Method 2:
Log out
Press CTRL+ALT+F1
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
sudo sh name_of_the_nvidia_installer --uninstall

(replace name_of_the_nvidia_installer with the name of the nvidia installer you used)

Uninstall the driver from Method 1
sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx nvidia-settings nvidia-kernel-common


Install the Legacy driver:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy nvidia-settings linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`-nvidia-legacy

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

[ububaba]

METHOD 2


cd “directory where you have the nvidia installer”
su
CC=gcc-3.4
export CC
exit
CC=gcc-3.4
export CC

I downloaded Nvidia driver 8178 to use in method #2.
All went fine till I reached step 10. After su my password
could not be authenticated. I stuck am there now. Has any
one else experienced it as well?

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start I actually tried Method 1 first, using the legacy drivers, and only then tried fiddling with Method 2. Seems I got something wrong the first time, since now it works just fine. Thanks for your help!

If that happens it might mean that you skipped step 3 in Method 2.

Please repeat step 3.

[weasel fierce]

Please, don't try to reinstall the driver. Follow my previous advice and then post the content of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

I think your xorg.conf can be crucial in this case.

Since X broke, with the modified xorg.conf, I restored it to my original, which is as follows:

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Those are, to the best of my knowledge, the defaults from before I installed the driver.


EDIT: Something I remembered, not sure if its relevant or not. A few days before this, I was toying with installing the nvidia drivers from the repositories. I changed the PCI info in xorg.conf to fit where the card is 1:5:0, and upon restarting X, I could hear the loginscreen come up (from the little drum roll it makes), but it was blank.
When rebooting, the hotplug subsystems failed again, but the error was different.
/etc/init.d/rsC (I think thats how the capitalization was, anyways, I scribbled it down pretty quickly) segmentation fault.

[dragge]

Great guide! But i got one problem.
After doing the apt-get linux-image and headers section my wlan0 goes bye bye :(
Why do i lose my wlan when installing the new image? :(

I got a D-link dwlg520 artheros card.

Edit: Oh and im using Method 2, trying to install latest drivers from nvidia.com

The problem is that if you want to use Method 2 you have to remove the restricted modules for your kernel BUT if you want to use the wlan you need the restricted modules.

1) You should uninstall the drivers from method 2:
Press CTRL-ALT-F1 (so as to get to the command line, not a windowed terminal, but out of the graphical interface GUI)

Login with your username and password (if required)

Stop the xserver:

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (OR "kdm stop" if you use KDE)

Restore your old xorg.conf

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf

NOTE: if the backup of your old xorg.conf doesn't work or you lost it try this command (so as to regenerate a clean xorg.conf): sudo dpkg -reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Uninstall the driver

cd path_to_the_nvidia_installer

sudo sh name_of_the_nvidia_installer --uninstall

Restart the xserver

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start (or "kdm start" if you use KDE)

Then reinstall the restricted modules for your kernel to have the wlan connection back.

2) You can download the restricted modules from the internet:
type this command and see its output to see the version of your kernel:
uname -r

get to this address (from a computer with an internet connection):
http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/ubuntu/pool/restricted/l/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.12/
and download the linux-restricted-modules for your kernel which will have a name such as:
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.12-10-k7_2.6.12.4-11.1_i386.deb

Make sure the part in red matches the output of the command "uname -r", i.e. if uname -r gave you 2.6.12-10-k7 then you would download the file in the example above.

After you download the file:
cd path_to_the_deb_file
sudo dpkg -i name_of_the_file

Then, if everything goes ok, you can reboot

[tseliot]

Since X broke, with the modified xorg.conf, I restored it to my original, which is as follows:
keep a backup of your current xorg.conf.

Modify this part of your xorg.conf in the following way:

Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation"
Driver "vesa"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "DELL E772p"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 30-70
VertRefresh 50-160
EndSection

EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Then save the file.
Log out
Press CTRL+ALT+F1

If the xserver works then you can install the nvidia driver.

[dragge]

Ok.. i have reverted all now, my wlan works but my graphics look like crap :(
Are there anyway of me using the latest nvidia driver and not lose my wlan?
Will method 3 work when making my own restricted module?

Use Method 1 if you can.

Otherwise you should compile the driver for your wlan (so as not to use the restricted modules) and use Method 2.

There is a howto that shows how to keep wifi drivers from 'linux-restricted-modules' at this link:

http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Installation_Guide#Madwifi_Drivers_in_Breez y_Badger

Basically, you copy the modules you want to keep from

/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/volatile/
to
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/

before you uninstall the linux-restricted-modules package.
Then you do
sudo depmod -a $(uname -r)

and uninstall the restricted modules package. Then, reboot and do the driver install. You will have to do this each time you upgrade the kernel.

[isTHEr3mOr3]

Ok, will do that. If I know what the problem is I will come back to share it.


Great help on the NVIDIA forum!

Stupid me :oops: I downloaded the wrong driver, I needed the legacy driver.

(next time I will RTFM better...)

[stoneted]

I have a problem with a 23 inch HD Apple LCD Montor.

It works fine on the nv driver, not at all with the nvidia driver. The attached TV will work as the primary on the nvidia driver.

I followed method 2.

[weasel fierce]

Allright. So I followed your steps. I managed to get back into Gnome (though I had to change the PCI to 1:5:0.
Now, in Gnome, I get display on the screen, when the monitor cable is plugged into the card, while during boot, I have to have it in the onboard card.

xorg.conf (the relevant parts) looks like this now:


Section "Device"
Identifier "Nvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:5:0"
Option "UseFBDev" "true"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "DELL E772p"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 30-70
VertRefresh 50-160
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Nvidia"
Monitor "DELL E772p"
DefaultDepth 24

Would it be safe to change the BIOS setting now, or ?

EDIT:
Okay, it seems not.
I tried changing the BIOS to "auto" instead of Onboard.
At the hotplugs, it crashes with a segmentation fault.
The end of the error goes:

/etc/rsC.d/S40hotplug: line 95: 5689 segmentation fault
/etc/hotplug/$name.rc $1 >/dev/null 2>&1
*PANIC: segmentation violation at 0xffffe420! Sleeping for 30 seconds

[ScarabDrac]

Alright, I have looked everywhere for a straight-forward solution to my problem (and if I missed it, Im sorry). I have an Inspiron 8200 with a GeForce Go 440 card. When I installed Ubuntu (v5.10) as well as the nvidia-glx/-settings packages, and run nvidia-glx-config. Everythings works, I have 3D accelleration, X-server, Planet-PenguinRacer, the works.
After a few weeks, hardware accelleration is disabled, and anything requiring 'glx' fails to run.

I have tried reinstalling the drivers and the kernel modules. I even reinstalled Ubuntu, and the same thing happened after updating all the packages.

If any of this sounds familiar I would appreciate any help you can give.

Thank You for the last reply,

I used the same xorg.conf settings and back down to Nvidia version 7676 and still a blank screen. With the Nvidia driver, the reading of the EDID parameters from the monitor fails (the Nv driver does not; see below):

Can you try to disable EDID?

Try this:
open your xorg.conf and add this to the Section "monitor":
Option "IgnoreEDID" "true"

Then restart the xserver (log out and press CTRL+ALT+Backspace)

Alright, I have looked everywhere for a straight-forward solution to my problem (and if I missed it, Im sorry). I have an Inspiron 8200 with a GeForce Go 440 card. When I installed Ubuntu (v5.10) as well as the nvidia-glx/-settings packages, and run nvidia-glx-config. Everythings works, I have 3D accelleration, X-server, Planet-PenguinRacer, the works.
After a few weeks, hardware accelleration is disabled, and anything requiring 'glx' fails to run.

I have tried reinstalling the drivers and the kernel modules. I even reinstalled Ubuntu, and the same thing happened after updating all the packages.

If any of this sounds familiar I would appreciate any help you can give.
If you own a GeForce4 420 Go (or a Geforce 440 go) you should follow these steps:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/options

Add this option at the end of the file:

options nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=1

CTRL+O to save CTRL+X to exit

Edit your xorg.conf:

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

get to the "Section Device" and add the following options

Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
Option"IgnoreEDID""true"
Option"IgnoreEdidFreqs""true"
Option"GenerateRTList""0"
Option"OverridePolarity""1"

If you added the options that section should (approximately) look like the example below:

Section "Device"
Identifier"NVIDIA Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 420 Go]"
Driver"nvidia"
BusID"PCI:1:0:0"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
Option"IgnoreEDID""true"
Option"IgnoreEdidFreqs""true"
Option"GenerateRTList""0"
Option"OverridePolarity""1"
EndSection

I tried the option "IgnoreEDID" and that did not help.

The card has two DVI outputs and a TV out. I had the option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0" and got the error reading EDID. Maybe it is reading the DVI that does not have a monitor on it. I change it to DFP-1 and it now works and can read the EDID.

Seems like a bug with the Nvidia driver.

Thank You for your input.

I need to diagnose the error.
Type:

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (if you use GDM)
OR
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop (if you use KDM)

Then:
startx -- -verbose 5 -logverbose 5

You will see several lines with the same error.

Then if you can't get to the command line press CTRL+ALT+F1 or CTRL+C (select NO if it asks you if you want to see the output of the error or something like that)

Then type this in order to copy the output of the error to your home folder:
sudo cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log /home/your_username/Xorg.0.log
(Of course you have to replace "your_username" with your username)

Access the GNOME or KDE again in the following way:
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Set the driver back to "nv" instead of "nvidia"
CTRL+O to save
CTRL+X to exit

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (if you use GDM)
OR
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop (if you use KDM)

Then
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start (if you use GDM)
OR
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start (if you use KDM)


Post the content of that file (which you can find under /home/your_username/Xorg.0.log )

Sorry it had to be that long due to my own incapabilities.

Hi,

I've just tried to install Nvidia driver 8178, following method 2. It worked fine untill I started Gnome. Then, my computer freezed, and I can't even use Ctrl+Alt+F1 to enter console.

I tried it in recovery mode, and the problem I've got the same problem.

I have a Toshiba Satelite Pro laptop with Nvidia GeForce4 420 Go card.
How can I uninstall the new driver and use the nv driver coming with Ubuntu?

Thanks!!!

[weasel fierce]

Se the BIOS to "auto" (so as not to use the onboard card)
Select "Recovery Mode" from the GRUB menu (you will see it few time after turning on the computer)

It will boot to the command line.
Type:
dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

then:
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and see which videocard has been detected.

Then report to me.

It still hits a segmentation fault. Seems the same error as when just booting regularly.

Can you uninstall driver 7667 and try 8178 (which is more compatible)?
Log out
CTRL+ALT+F1
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
sudo sh name_of_the_nvidia_installer --uninstall

then set the driver to "nv" in your xorg.conf

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

And download and install driver 8178.

If you own a GeForce4 420 Go you should follow these steps:

Boot in Recovery mode (the xserver won't be started)

Type
nano /etc/modprobe.d/options

Add this option at the end of the file:

options nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=1

CTRL+O to save CTRL+X to exit

Edit your xorg.conf:

nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

get to the "Section Device" and add the following options

Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
Option"IgnoreEDID""true"
Option"IgnoreEdidFreqs""true"
Option"GenerateRTList""0"
Option"OverridePolarity""1"

If you added the options that section should (approximately) look like the example below:

Section "Device"
Identifier"NVIDIA Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 420 Go]"
Driver"nvidia"
BusID"PCI:1:0:0"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
Option"IgnoreEDID""true"
Option"IgnoreEdidFreqs""true"
Option"GenerateRTList""0"
Option"OverridePolarity""1"
EndSection

Then save the file.

type:
reboot

It should work then.

Ok, then set the bios back to onboard.

And edit your xorg.conf (set it back as it was before, so that your nvidia card appears in your xorg):

but this time REMOVE the line in red

Section "Device"
Identifier "Nvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:5:0"
Option "UseFBDev" "true"
EndSection

Then install the nvidia driver (you might want to try Method 2 with driver 8178)

[tseliot]

I've added a new point in the Problems Sections which will solve a few problems with Nvidia GeForce4 420/440 Go card

CTRL+ALT+F1
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
sudo sh name_of_the_nvidia_installer --uninstall

then set the driver to "nv" in your xorg.conf

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

And download and install driver 8178.

I did, what you told. Installation of 8178 went smoothly. I removed every
trace of 7667 manually as it had already been uninstalled. However,
after I had fed

12)
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

...got a black screen! Pressing CTRL+ALT+F1, transferred me to a fuschia
coloured screen with a prompt! No Gnome yet in sight. The last ditch battle
has yet to be fought.
Thanks for being so patient.

Ok, perhaps I already suggested this (my memory is not that good any more;) ): try point 4 of the PROBLEMS SECTION

Thanks alot guys, you helped solve half of my problem. I used method 2 and everything worked up until restarting my X server with the nvidia driver line. It wasn't found, but I found the files and put them in the correct location, while this works, it leaves me unable to use GL apps, since X will freeze. Any solution would be much appreciated(I wanna play with Compiz and Xgl XD). Using Dapper test flight 5.

/lib/modules/2.6.15-19-386/kernel/drivers/ *installed by the nvidia installer*
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/ *apparently needed, putting them here works*

I did try point 4 as you suggested but restart meant black screen once again.
Adding or removing the "Accel" "Off" option made no difference either.

Talking of bad memory, you remind me of a chess player who plays with 50 people
simultaneously.



Code:

Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV40 [GeForce 6200 TurboCache]"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "NvAGP" "0"
Option "RenderAccel" "Off"

Option "NoRenderExtension" "Off"
Option "Accel" "Off"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" “Off”
EndSection

Can you try the script I've written? It's in that guide.

You can ask me further questions by posting on that thread. This guide is for Breezy.

You can try to pass "noapic" as boot parameter.

If you don't know how to do it, have a look at this guide of mine:
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=53094

read this section "b) If you have installed Ubuntu..."

If that doesn't solve the problem I think you should ask on the Unofficial Nvidia Forums.

Amazingly I uninstalled the official nvidia package and did an apt-get install nvidia-glx and it worked.

[rpalyvoda]

It should work then.

Wow, it worked!!!!!!

Thanks a lot, theliot!

Something weird here:

My nvidia driver was working fine before but this morning when I boot up my pc, xserver was not able to load. I have also tried with my another HDD (with Dapper) and same problem too! Could be a problem with my hardware? Now, I have to use the "nv" driver ...Here is the Xorg.log:

I have to say that the first thing I do after installing a Ubuntu Distro is folow the steps in your guide they have always worked for me. THANKS A LOT.

I have Dapper Fligh 5, folloed your guide to install de nvidia driveres (worked perfectly), and got XGL working. As soon as yesterday I did a fresh instaltion os Dapper Fligh6 followed your guide (worked very well), however when I tried do put XGL working something went wrong. I restart X and the X was all messed up, the windows was not aligned etc a complete mess.

BTW: Reinstall 2 time Dapper Fligh6 and got the same problemes.
I have some guess to my problem:
1. How do I know I have the latestes NVIDIA drives fully worinking? (I only teste with glxgear)
2.My sources.lst is not the latest.
3. I am doing something wrong ( I think is this one)

here is my sources.lst

This guide is for Breezy ONLY.

You should try this guide instead:
HOWTO: Latest Nvidia Drivers- Testers needed (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=139264)

There you will also find a script which will install the driver for you.

[titanman128]

So, I am fairly new to Linux, so please bare with me if they seem like stupid questions. I tried loading GLX and the latest NVidia Drivers from the Repo and it seemed to load fine. I changed the config file as in many of the posts adding the load GLX and remarking out "dri". GLcore was not in my config file. After doing so, I noticed that half of my screensavers no longer work. I'm using Dapper 6.06, Nvidia Card 6600, AMD 3200

1) Should this occur after loading GLX?
2) Originally, many of the screensavers were jerky, but DVDs play smooth. How do I know if my Nvidia 6600 is set up properly?

appreciate any help. I realize I'm novice, but I love Ubuntu, I'm very close to abandoning Windows :)

[MonXX]

First of all thanks for the great HOWTO!

I already had the standard nvidia-glx drivers in the Ubuntu repos working, but when I used Twinview with those my computer would hang on shut down. So I installed the latest drivers ( 8178 ) using method 2 of this howto. Now Twinview works without causing problems, but I have a new problem: glx won't work.

When starting X (gdm start) the screen flickers 3 times and then I get the whole 'X couldn't start, want to see the output'. I copied the Xorg log, commented the Load "GLX" in my xorg.conf, did gdm restart and it works.

The end of the log reads:

(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1280x1024,1024x768"
(II) Loading extension NV-GLX
(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA 3D Acceleration Architecture Initialized

(II) Initializing built-in extension DAMAGE
(II) Initializing built-in extension XEVIE
(II) Initializing built-in extension LGE
(II) Initializing extension GLX

And that's it, no error or anything. I attached the whole log if needed, as well as my xorg.conf. I also tried the full path to libglx.so as you can see, after seeing somebody else here being asked for the output of whereis libglx.so. I get the same: nothing.

Some further specs:

running Ubuntu 5.10 on P4 2.4GHz with GeForce4 Ti 4200

uname -r:
2.6.12-10-686

Thanks in advance for the help, I really need glx, but also want to keep the working twinview..

Can you post the output of this command?

glxinfo | grep direct

[MonXX]

glxinfo segfaults.. so do glxgears, -demo and -heads.

Edit:

I uninstalled the driver and reinstalled and it worked now. I think the problem was I initially trid to compile with gcc 4.0, it failed and then did it again with 3.4, without removing stuff. Think libglx did compile with 4.0 but obviously didnt work and wasnt overwritten when installing with 3.4

Thanks for letting me waste your time..

Method 2 worked great. no problems. Thanks

[mrogers]

I've used this guide to install Nvidia drivers before without a problem. Today I went through the steps (using Method 2) and installed the new ones that came out a few days ago, 8756. Everything seemed to go perfectly smoothly, until I tried to start GDM back up. All I have is a black screen -- no mouse cursor, no nothing. I can't even CTRL+ALT+F1 to get back to a terminal. When I tried a hard reboot, I got the same problem. My system is totally dead now. Does anyone know what I can do to figure out the problem? GF6600GT, by the way.

EDIT: Booted with recovery mode, read through the X.org log. Not a single error, it appears to be successfully loading the new driver modules. What is going on? I really don't know where to look at this point.

I have a fairly new system with one of the newer nvidia cards. I've only just started to get my ubuntu partition running because of the lack of drivers for the 7600 gt. After failing to get the newest nvidia drivers installed using method 2, most probably due to errors on my part, I ran your AMD 64 script and things seem too be working fine. How ever I am unable to run glxgears do to an error. "Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual"
Time for bed now but in the morning I'll try to figure out how to post my assorted information.
So far my my xorg.config is telling me I'm running generic nv drivers with a generic nvidia card. But in Applications>System tools>Nvidia X Server Settings I'm told that it is a GeForce 7600gt with 1.0-8765 settings.
I'm probably not getting glxgears running because of the lack of a 32 bit opengl library or what ever that option was I said no too.
I'll jump back in tomorow and give as much info as i can regarding my particular situation with newer gear.
Thanks for all of the great information so far.
BTW I attended a first meeting for a local LUG and hope that the local community will grow and encourage open source usage in my area.

Firstly, tseliot. You are a tower of strength my friend.

I thank you for your tutorial. I'm a newbie running breezy badger and I followed your "method 1" with my GeForce2 MX400. Everything went great.

This is a happy ending considdering the amount of time wasted trying to perform this simple task with hints and tips gathered from other forum threads.

My only, possibly unique, problem is that wine now seg faults :(

Did you try also to install the driver with Method 2?

I'm asking you because there might be a conflict between the driver from Method 2 and the one from Method 1.

[tseliot]

I've used this guide to install Nvidia drivers before without a problem. Today I went through the steps (using Method 2) and installed the new ones that came out a few days ago, 8756. Everything seemed to go perfectly smoothly, until I tried to start GDM back up. All I have is a black screen -- no mouse cursor, no nothing. I can't even CTRL+ALT+F1 to get back to a terminal. When I tried a hard reboot, I got the same problem. My system is totally dead now. Does anyone know what I can do to figure out the problem? GF6600GT, by the way.

Try this and tell me if it works, please:
remove the word splash from /boot/grub/menu.lst, from the line where the current Kernel is listed.

Then reboot as usual.

You should have "nvidia" instead of "nv" in the Section Device of your xorg.conf.

Please replace that word.

I seem to have a kernel source file problem!!
This problem may well be answered in this thread - but I am still searching. Perhaps someone would guide me to appropriate post.

Trying to install NFORCE-Linux x86 drivers for LAN & sound. After manually installing gcc 3.4 (not online yet) and trying following instruction in this thread RE kernel header installation, I run the nvidia installer.

Reports are as follows:
No precompiled kernel interface found to match kernel etc
I believe this doesnt matter so I OK this.

gcc-version-check failed
gcc -v returns version 3.4.5 (I think this was the correct one to install according to the nvidia install log.

so I choose to continue with install.

module build status bar runs to 100% then:
Unable to load the kernel module 'nvnet.ko' This is most likely because the kernel module was built using the wrong kernel source files. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel ..... you may specify kernel source path etc etc...

any advice would be welcomed - thank you
I've been struggling with this for 4 days.

Current Operational Status: 60%
Onboard LAN - not functioning
Onboard Sound - not functioning
Graphics, USB & other stuff seems to be functioning OK

Different approach
I've put in an old LAN card. Recognised easily by ubuntu. At least now I can get online. Maybe I can sort out this kernel source file thing via Synaptic.

any comments still valued

Try this:
sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc gcc-3.4

sudo passwd root

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

Then follow points from 8 to 10 and install the nforce driver

bugger!

I must have confused myself when I thought i had it running because the next time I rebooted, I got an error saying that X failed to load. I looked at the output and it said "failed to load NVIDIA kernal module".

Strange :/

When I earlier tried to install the nVidia .run binary from their website, it claimed not to be able to find the kernel headers/source-tree (in an attempt to compile the kernel module).

Perhaps if someone could tell me how to get the current kernel headers installed (could not work out package name from debian.org), then maybe I could get this running through nVidia's latest setup binary. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to "kernel" issues. So I have no idea what this is about.

I'll have to revisit the wine and tuxracer seg faults later... :/

[piccolo solo]

Many thanks tseliot. I followed your guide PROPERLY this time and have successfully installed latest NVIDIA and NFORCE drivers. I just need to sort out configuring NFORCE drivers. Hmmm. More learning.

thanks again

And this time when you get to the point of my guide in which you have to run the Nvidia installer, do it in the following way:
sudo sh name_of_the_installer --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`

Remember to use this ` instead of '

[spasmoid]

Thanks for the tip.

I have it working now.

Wine and tuxracer are not segfaulting anymore.

I tested it out with tuxracer. I had fun playing it for a while, and then I went all experimental and enabled stencil buffering and FSAA. Hmmm... apparently my card doesn't support this. Now it won't start. Anyway. Don't really care too much, as long as I have my NVIDIA driver running and I can start playing with more 3D stuff.

Thanks for all your help.

Just for your info - lastest 8756 drivers on AMD64 ...

Hi, tseliot!

Today I finally found the time to update the Nvidia drivers on my amd64 box.

I jumped the gun and let the installer install the 32-Bit compatibility libraries ... and guess what ... they got installed at the right place (/usr/lib32) along with the symlinks.

Upon successful install X fired back up fine.

3D accel works for 64-Bit and 32-Bit apps - verified with the 32-Bit version of glxgears (running in the 64-Bit system --- NOT inside the 32-bit chroot).

I copied Nvidia's libraries (/usr/lib32) into the 32-bit chroot (/chroot/usr/lib), fired up a terminal, did a 'ldconfig' and invoked glxgears in the 32-bit chroot - 3D accel seems to work here too.

Seems as there is no more need for any manual intervention with the 32-bit libs in the 64-bit part of the system anymore.

Tested on Breezy - no idea if it works on Dapper too as I haven't migrated yet.

Greets,
Storm.

Sorry if this is a bit off track but my nvidia drivers are displaying OpenGL apps (Quake4, Doom 3) in small displays with a 3 inch black border around them.
Is anyone else having this problem and if so how can you fix it?

[Justbill]

Got a new problem!

I installed Breezy on my main machine, its a:

Compaq Presario SR1426NX
2.93Ghz Pentium 4
1.5GB PC2-3200 DDR2 SDRAM
160GB 7200RPM Serial ATA hard drive
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900

Here is my problem. When I installed "Breezy", I was using the onboard graphics, I have since gotten a "GeForce FX 5200" for this machine. When I install the "GeForce" (pci) and I start the computer, the boot process hangs at "starting hotplug services". I have changed to "pci" in "setup", so the onboard graphics shoud be disabled. I also changed the information in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to reflect the "GeForce", and that didn't seem to help. I can't seem to find a way to get past this. If I could get the computer to boot into a shell, I could complete "method 2" , however I can not seem to get that far.

Any help, or thoughts on this is greatly appreciated!

You need to manually add your the screen resolution you use in your game to your xorg.config under Section "Screen"

atleast, that did the trick for me.

[eokorie]

Finally managed to get the 64-bit drivers to install on my system... Followed the guide up to the point where I had to run the installer and everything got setup with no problems whatsoever....

Thanks for such a superb guide.... :-D

[Justbill]

Ok, I have tried everything I can think of! Here is what is in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, under "Device"

Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Corporation i915 Integrated Graphics Controller"
Driver "i810"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

When I change the "Identifier" to "NVIDIA Corporation NV40 [GeForce FX 5200]
and in "Driver" I have tried "nv", "nvidia", & "vesa" (out of desperation), then I shutdown the machine, install the "GeForce" pci card, start the computer back up, and it freezes durring bootup at "staring hotplug subsystem"

I am puting the "GeForce" in the top pci slot. I have been checking the "bios" and "pci" is selected for the graphics, prior to booting. Could the BusID have something to do with this? Admittedly, I am not sure what that is. My "soundblaster" is in the second pci slot.

Is there a way to force "Breezy" to boot into a shell, and skip the spot where it is hanging up? I believe if i can get the machine to boot into at least a shell, I can then use the installer from Nvidia.

Thanks for your time, and any help

I think you should:
Set the bios to use your onboard graphic chip (so that your computer doesn't hang)
And make sure the BusID "PCI:0:2:0" is the right address for your Geforce. If not you can try with different numbers (for example, mine is BusID "PCI:1:0:0").

I finally resolved my issues using the new Nvidia drivers. I would get a blank screen and yet I could type and hear the sound. I have to make the following modifications within xorg.conf:

Option "IgnoreEDID" "true"
Option "UseEDID" "false"
Option "ExtactModeTimingsDVI" "true"

My System configuration:
D900K (AMD64 X2) Notebook
Nvidia 7800 GO GTX
Resolution: 1900x1200

I was getting the errors in Xorg.0.log related to the fact that it could not recognize by DFP-0 and its modes. It would try to figure out the mode and it did not like any of them

[geeknation]

I managed to get these drivers installed using Method 1 on my first attempt. thanks for the guide btw, World of Warcraft plays so much better now!

[Justbill]

I tried BusID PCI:1:0:0 at one point. How do I make sure what the correct address is for the GeForce?

I was toying with installing the GeForce, and booting the Ubuntu Live CD I have, and trying to access my Ubuntu partition (sda3) from there, then running the installer from nvidia. Any thoughts on that idea?

Justbill

[Justbill]

Well, the live cd idea didn't work either. It hung up again at "starting hotplug subsystem". Is there any way to disable that?

That thing with the livecd couldn't have worked.

You can try this:
Set the bios to use your Geforce instead of the onboard card.

Boot in Recovery Mode (so that hotplug won't be started)

and type this command to update your xorg.conf (which should detect your Geforce):
dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Then make sure the card has been detected:
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

If everything's fine you can reboot, type:
reboot

and hotplug shouldn't make your computer freeze.

Hei, i used method 2 to install the 1.0-8178 driver, and that worked fine, and THANX for a great howto!!:D

Anyway, there is a new release now: 1.0-8756, question is:
can i just do as in method 2? i have already uninstalled the respo installed nvidia, so basically i just end gdm and x, and so sh nv from console?
Or do i have to uninstall the previous version again?

Yes, in this case there's no need to uninstall anything.

In other words you can start Method 2 from point 10

Hi Tseliot,

Do you know why i used to be able to run games like Doom 3 and Quake 4 perfectly and then recently they started running in a really small display with a 3 inch black border around them.

I recently did the unthinkable and reinstalled ubuntu and both the games (I was desperate) and I still have the same problem.

I'm amazeed that I can't find any other posts reporting the same problem on this forum.

I have a sneaky feeling it's to do with new nvidia drivers but i don't know.

If you could help I would be eternaly grateful.

I don't play games in Linux.

The user Eazy© answered you to "manually add your the screen resolution you use in your game to your xorg.config under Section Screen ".

Did you do that?

[Simian]

Yes, I've tried that. I've been searching this forum and google for a few days now. I getting a bit desperate now.

[tseliot]

Yes, I've tried that. I've been searching this forum and google for a few days now. I getting a bit desperate now.
Try this (I've found this trick on Gentoo forums):

You can set the resolution from the command line when you launch the game:

First of all, run "xrandr" and look at the output:

SZ: Pixels Physical Refresh
*0 1400 x 1050 ( 370mm x 281mm ) *50
1 1152 x 864 ( 370mm x 281mm ) 50
2 1024 x 768 ( 370mm x 281mm ) 50
Current rotation - normal
Current reflection - none
Rotations possible - normal
Reflections possible - none


Then, select the correct number in the SZ column:
For example if you wanted to use 1024x768 you should do "xrandr -s 2".

Then launch the game from the command line.

I hope it works

[Simian]

ben@sunshine:~$ xrandr
SZ: Pixels Physical Refresh
*0 1440 x 900 ( 373mm x 231mm ) *60
Current rotation - normal
Current reflection - none
Rotations possible - normal
Reflections possible - none

The problem is that I only have this option.

By the way, thanks for trying to help :)

Alright, I tried to set BIOS to use the "GeForce", I restarted & booted recovery mode. I ended up getting a message:

"Kernel panic not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt" .

I'm not sure what would cause that, maybe someone can giive me an idea here.

I'm having real good luck with "Dapper on my other computer, does it have better nvidia support?

Thanks
Justbill

[Justbill]

Another one I got was:

"kernel panic not syncing: attempted to kill init"

at this point that aint the only thing I'm wanting to kill :-)

I have also tried different BusID combinations, currently mine is 0:2:0 for the onboard graphics, I tried 1:2:0, 3:2:0, 0:1:0, 1:0:0 . Maybe tomorrow I'll try some more combinations, but really, nothing seems to be getting me anywhere here. When I try to boot using "system recovery" is when I get the "kernel panic"

I really don't know what to try next!

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

I'm very new to Ubuntu and very new to Linux. When I tried to install the latest NVDIA Driver acording to this thread:

http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75074 (method 2)

I ran into some problems. I followed the steps exactly and everyting seemed to work. The driver installer came up and everything worked. Then, like it says in the steps, the installer will ask if it can go and fnd a precompiled kernal on the NVIDIA ftp website. Since I haven't gotten my internet up and running yet, it couldn't connect. After pressing ok to the message saying the installer couldn't connect, I got a message saying that my CC version couldnt be verified. It later went on to say that if I didn't know what I was doing, I should abort the install. If I did, I should press no to continue. I dcided to try pressing no, and when I did, an error message came up saying that my the installer couldn't find my current gcc version. (gcc-3.4) When I tried to install gcc-3.4 (sudo apt-get install gc-3.4), it said that the package didn't exist I'm going to download gcc-3.4 later on today from the Ubuntu packages site. Is this what I should do? Or am I rnning into a problem with an easy fix? Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Mr_Welfare

[Mr_Welfare]

Ok. I have installed the gcc-3.4 package. I followed all the steps in method 2 of the NVIDIA Driver install HOWTO.

http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75074

When I run the installer now, I get the following message.

gcc-version-check failed:

Could not compile gcc-version-check.c. Please be sure you have your distributers libc development package installed (what is this?) and that 'gcc-3.4' is a valid C ompiler name.

If you know what you are doing and want to ignore the gcc version check, select "No" to continue installation, otherwise, select "Yes" to abort the installation, set the CC environment variable to the name of your compiler used to cmpile the kernel, and restart he installation.

Note: I think I have done this by entering the following code:

cd “directory where you have the nvidia installer”
su
CC=gcc-3.4
export CC
exit
CC=gcc-3.4
export CC

Anyways, if I press "Yes", it aborts the installaton. If I press "No", an error message appears. This error messag reads:

Error: Unable to find the development tool `cc` in your path; please make sure you have the package 'gcc' installed. If gcc is installed on your system, then please check that `cc` is in your path.

If I press "Ok" to that error message, it says that the installation failed, and aborts the install.

I'm completely stumped here. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

One last note: I have changed some settings in this directory.

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

The following has been added in the section "device"

Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "DFP,TV"
Option "NoRenderExtension" "Off"
Option "Accel" "Off"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" “Off”

EndSection

[Mishal]

Let's try to reproduce the error.

Boot with the "nv" driver in your xorg.conf

Set the driver to "nvidia" in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Log out and Press CTRL+ALT+F1

You will get to the command line (no GUI)
Type:

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (if you use GDM)
OR
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop (if you use KDM)

Then:
startx -- -verbose 5 -logverbose 5

You will get the same error.

Then if you can't get to the command line press CTRL+ALT+F1 or CTRL+C (select NO if it asks you if you want to see the output of the error or something like that)

then type:
sudo cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log /home/your_username/Xorg.0.log
(Of course you have to replace "your_username" with your username)

and post the content of that file (which you can find under /home/your_username/Xorg.0.log )


if you want to access the GNOME or KDE again you can use this quick fix:
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Set the driver back to "nv" instead of "nvidia"
CTRL+O to save
CTRL+X to exit

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (if you use GDM)
OR
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop (if you use KDM)

Then
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start (if you use GDM)
OR
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start (if you use KDM)

I know it has been a long time since I asked you for help and you told me to post the contents of the Xorg.0.log file but I was busy and I have finally got the time to deal with this now. So here it is:

Ok. I have installed the gcc-3.4 package. I followed all the steps in method 2 of the NVIDIA Driver install HOWTO.

http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75074

When I run the installer now, I get the following message.

gcc-version-check failed:

Could not compile gcc-version-check.c. Please be sure you have your distributers libc development package installed (what is this?) and that 'gcc-3.4' is a valid C ompiler name.

If you know what you are doing and want to ignore the gcc version check, select "No" to continue installation, otherwise, select "Yes" to abort the installation, set the CC environment variable to the name of your compiler used to cmpile the kernel, and restart he installation.

Note: I think I have done this by entering the following code:

cd “directory where you have the nvidia installer”
su
CC=gcc-3.4
export CC
exit
CC=gcc-3.4
export CC

Anyways, if I press "Yes", it aborts the installaton. If I press "No", an error message appears. This error messag reads:

Error: Unable to find the development tool `cc` in your path; please make sure you have the package 'gcc' installed. If gcc is installed on your system, then please check that `cc` is in your path.

If I press "Ok" to that error message, it says that the installation failed, and aborts the install.

I'm completely stumped here. Any help would be appreciated.
Let's solve the problem with gcc first:
type this command:
sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/gcc-3.4 /usr/bin/gcc

Then try the installer again (you won't need the export CC thing this time).

There won't be any gcc mismatch.

After the driver is installed properly you can set your gcc back to 4.0 (i.e. as it was before)
sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 /usr/bin/gcc


One last note: I have changed some settings in this directory.

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

The following has been added in the section "device"

Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV40 [GeForce 6200 TurboCache]"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "NvAGP" "0"
Option "RenderAccel" "Off"
Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "DFP,TV"
Option "NoRenderExtension" "Off"
Option "Accel" "Off"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" “Off”

EndSection
You don't need those options I think it's better to remove them for now.

I know it has been a long time since I asked you for help and you told me to post the contents of the Xorg.0.log file but I was busy and I have finally got the time to deal with this now. So here it is:
It's quite clear what the problem is:
(WW) The NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro GPU installed in
(WW) this system is supported through the NVIDIA Legacy
(WW) drivers. Please visit
(WW) http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more
(WW) information. The 1.0-7667 NVIDIA driver will ignore this
(WW) GPU. Continuing probe...

This means you didn't pay the due attention to my guide.

METHOD 1
It is the usual (and easiest) way to install the Nvidia drivers. It allows you to install nvidia driver 7667 OR 7174 i.e. the Legacy drivers which you need ONLY IF your graphic card belongs to the list in the "NOTES SECTION", which you will find near the end of the guide.

and
OR (If you need Legacy drivers, i.e. your graphic card is in the list at the end of the page or you need driver 7174)

and

NOTES SECTION

* Below are the legacy GPUs that are no longer supported in the unified driver.
These GPUs will continue to be maintained through the special legacy NVIDIA
GPU driver releases.

NVIDIA chip name Device PCI ID
------------------------------- -------------------------------
RIVA TNT 0x0020
RIVA TNT2/TNT2 Pro 0x0028
RIVA TNT2 Ultra 0x0029

In other words your graphic card is supported only by the legacy driver.

Uninstall the driver from Method 1:
sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx nvidia-settings linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`

Say "yes" if it asks you to remove other things (no matter what it asks you to remove)

sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy nvidia-settings linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`-nvidia-legacy

NOTE: Make sure you use ` instead of '

Then set the driver to "nvidia" in the Section Device of your xorg.conf and comment out Load "dri" and Load “GLcore” (if you have them).

Another one I got was:

"kernel panic not syncing: attempted to kill init"

at this point that aint the only thing I'm wanting to kill :-)

I have also tried different BusID combinations, currently mine is 0:2:0 for the onboard graphics, I tried 1:2:0, 3:2:0, 0:1:0, 1:0:0 . Maybe tomorrow I'll try some more combinations, but really, nothing seems to be getting me anywhere here. When I try to boot using "system recovery" is when I get the "kernel panic"

I really don't know what to try next!

Thanks

It's likely that you motherboard is not 100% supported by Linux (I refer to the capacity to switch between the graphic cards from the BIOS).

Boot with the BIOS set to the onboard card (make sure also your Geforce is plugged in).

Then type:
lspci | grep nVidia

NOTE: bash is case sensitive, therefore make sure you use a "V" instead of a "v" in the vord "nVidia".

In this way you should see something like this:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500] (rev a1)

The number I highlighted in blue is the BUSId of the card.

Put it in your xorg.conf (where you know).

Don't select your card from the bios (or you'll get a kernel panic). The xserver should find your Geforce now and use it instead of the integrated card.

Thank you tseliot. The drver installed and everything is working great.

Once again,Thanks,

Hello,

First, thanks for all the guides, and comments on this thread. it's fantastic.

I installed the latest nvidia drivers on breezy 2 weeks ago and everything was fine.
Then I changed my hardware (pretty much everything :) ) and did a reinstall of all the stuff.
The nvidia installation goes ok, I got twinview and everything... the only problem I have is that as soon as I reboot, I have an error message and X is unable to start.

this is what I get in the Dmesg :

NVRM: RM/client version mismatch!!
NVRM: aborting to avoid catastrophe!


Then I reinstall the nvidia drivers (method 2), I don't modify the xorg.conf, and I restart gdm without problem.

So it seems that some module/driver is not starting at boot time and that X doesn't find my driver="nvidia" ...

Anyone knows how to solve that ?

thanks,

MasterZ

[Justbill]

Alright,
I did what you suggested

Boot with the BIOS set to the onboard card (make sure also your Geforce is plugged in).

Then type:
Code:

lspci | grep nVidia


and this is the output from that

bill@Goliath:~$ lspci | grep nVidia
0000:02:03.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)
bill@Goliath:~$

So would my BusID be 2:3:0 or 0:2:3 ? Also, here is the output from /etc/X11/xorg.conf (only what is pertinent):

Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Corporation i915 Integrated Graphics Controller"
Driver "i810"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "COMPAQ FS760"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Intel Corporation i915 Integrated Graphics Controller"
Monitor "COMPAQ FS760"
DefaultDepth 24

Under section "Device" I have either been deleting or commenting out (#) all information pertaining to my current onboard graphics, and have been repacing it with :

Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV40 [GeForce FX 5200]"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "?:?:?"

I have tried different random combinations with the BusID (that is why I typed "?" for this example).
In my output of "lspci | grep nVidia" it said

nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]

Should I be repacing NV40 with NV34 in the "Device" section?

Also, notice below section "device", I have section "screen". Should I be repacing the "device" in the "screen" section with:

"NVIDIA Corporation NV40 [GeForce FX 5200]"

I have tried that at times, but so far nothing has worked.

Another thing, the other night, for no better reason than to try this and see if I could do it, I compiled my first ever kernel. I thought I should mention this, in case it makes a difference trying to get this GeForce working here. If need be, (and I'll need some instructions "how to") I will remove the new kernel (that would be a shame, this machine is really running fast now!) This is the kernel I am currently using:

bill@Goliath:~$ uname -r
2.6.16-cks4

I can't help but believe we are getting close here, just need a little more direction:-)

Thanks

Over the past couple days, I've formatted and re-installed Breezy on my computer. Before the format, I had working drivers for my GeForce Ti4600, but I don't remember how I installed them. After the format, I followed Method 1 on your guide, and it worked. However, then I decided to try to install newer drivers and downloaded the most recentand following Method 2 this time, which is when the trouble started.

When I reset, I was greeted with a black screen where it should have been loading the greeter. After about a minute, this screen turned into a white screen, but that was where it stayed. After a few more unsuccessful attempts to log in to my system, I went into recovery mode and reset everything back to how it was before. This fixed the hangup, but I was again without working Nvidia drivers. Since then, I have done Method 2 again, Method 1 a few more times, and even followed the guide in Ubuntu's help to install the drivers, but each time I was met with the same blank screens.

I tried to look to see if this was something that was already covered, but I didn't find anything that helped during a couple searches.

1) If your compiled and installed also the headers for your kernel then you don't need to uninstall it. Otherwise remove it.

2) The identifier doesn't affect the functioning (e.d. you could call your graphic card Santa Claus if you wanted :p )
The most important thing is that the identifier of your card is the same as the "Device" in the Screen Section (so that the screen knows which card to use).

3) Modify your xorg.conf in the following way:

##Section "Device"
## Identifier "Intel Corporation i915 Integrated Graphics Controller"
## Driver "i810"
## BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
##EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "COMPAQ FS760"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "NVIDIA Corporation NV40 [GeForce FX 5200]"
Monitor "COMPAQ FS760"
DefaultDepth 24


Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV40 [GeForce FX 5200]"
Driver "nv"
BusID "PCI:2:3:0"
EndSection

If the driver "nv" doesn't work, you can use "vesa".

Then, if everything's fine, you can install the nvidia driver.

Here's my nvidia-installer.log :

(remember that the xorg.conf is ok still, because if I reinstall the driver, I can use it without problems).

MasterZ
I need to diagnose the error.
Type:

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (if you use GDM)
OR
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop (if you use KDM)

Then:
startx -- -verbose 5 -logverbose 5

You will see several lines with the same error.

Then if you can't get to the command line press CTRL+ALT+F1 or CTRL+C (select NO if it asks you if you want to see the output of the error or something like that)

Then type this in order to copy the output of the error to your home folder:
sudo cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log /home/your_username/Xorg.0.log
(Of course you have to replace "your_username" with your username)

Access the GNOME or KDE again in the following way:
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Set the driver back to "nv" instead of "nvidia"
CTRL+O to save
CTRL+X to exit

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (if you use GDM)
OR
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop (if you use KDM)

Then
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start (if you use GDM)
OR
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start (if you use KDM)


Post the content of that file (which you can find under /home/your_username/Xorg.0.log )

Well, I tried with both the "nv" and the "vesa" divers, and I am still getting the "kernel panic" when I boot.

This would be a lot of work, but, do you think it would work if I reinstalled "Breezy" with the GeForce installed and the monitor connected to that (the GeForce), instead of the onboard graphics?

Also, I upgraded tp "Dapper" on this machine last night, so I will probably give the "how to" for nvidia in "Dapper" a whirl.

Thanks

Does it happen also when your bios is set to onboard???

This would be a lot of work, but, do you think it would work if I reinstalled "Breezy" with the GeForce installed and the monitor connected to that (the GeForce), instead of the onboard graphics?
You can connect the monitor to your Geforce and try to boot Ubuntu's Livecd (both with the bios set to onboard and nvidia, of course one per time, so as to see what happens in both cases).

I would like to know what happens. Then, if it works you can reinstall Ubuntu.

I'm not sure it can solve the problem.

[Justbill]

When my BIOS are set to onboard, and I am connected to the onboard graphics, the computer boots normally. Of course, if the BIOS are set to onboard, and I am connected to the GeForce, I have no image on my monitor at all.

I will try to boot the live cd shortly, and let you know how that went.

It did not work. Again, I got the kernel panic as it tried to start the "hotplug subsystem" . I tried connecting the monitor to the GeForce, and the bios set on "pci", then I tried the monitor connected to the GeForce, and the bios set to "onboard" and I didn't get an image on my monitor at all.

It seems that my hotplug is detecting the intel graphics, even when I have the /etc/X11/xorg.conf set to NVIDIA Corporation.

Is there a way to force boot into a shell, and skip the starting hotplug subsystem.

Thanks

Hi,

I tried what you said, but the -logverbose option doesn't seem to do much.
I see more informations displayed on the screen than what's getting in the log file.

I also tried to redirect the output (>) but it doesn't work.

Anyway, I think I got something interesting with what's on the verbosed ouput on the screen (I retype it):


ERROR: API Mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has the version 1.0-7667,
but thix X module has the version 1.0-8756.
Please make sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components have the same version.


the rest of the file seems to be the same as what I posted earlier...

So it seems that whatever the driver installation does, my ubuntu doesn't keep it after reboot...

Try this command:
Interesting output:
1) Have you used Method 1 before using Method 2?
This command might help you:
sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx nvidia-settings nvidia-kernel-common linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`

And reinstall the nvidia driver from the nvidia installer.

OR

2) If you used the nvidia installer (Method 2) to install driver 7667 you should uninstall it (from the installer)

Does it work if you boot in Recovery mode with the bios set to your Geforce?

Recovery mode doesn't start the xserver and shouldn't use hotplug.

If you manage to get to the command line in Recovery mode you can type "startx" and see what happens. (Make sure your xorg.conf is set to the nvidia card)

[Justbill]

Yes, I have been booting recovery mode. That is where I got the "kernel panic" information.

I will try again

Justbill

[Justbill]

O.K I've got something going on here now! I've got graphics with the monitor connected to the GeForce. I tried booting with the 2.6.12-10-386 kernel, and that one worked. So I guess I'll try to run the installer on this kernel, and if need be, remove the 2.6.15 kernel that I have been using.

Justbill

[MasterZ]

Hello again,

Ok it works now !

I checked into the synaptics database, and 'nvidia-kernel-common' was indeed installed with version 7667 ... ](*,)

So uninstalling that and reinstalling with method 2 did work.

However I wonder how 'nvidia-kernel-common' appeared there... I'm sure that I did not install it myself, so maybe it was installed at the same time as ubuntu ...
But most probably, it was installed when I ran automatix after original installation. Because it's the main difference with my first ubuntu experience.

Anyway, a big thank you for your help !:D


MasterZ

[Justbill]

That didn't work either :-(

Time to give up and walk away from this for a while

Hi,

Now I'm after 5 hours ](*,) :mad: with the new nvidia drivers and the refresh rate has stuk at 70Hz.

Option "UseEdidFreqs" "FALSE"
Option "UseEDID" "FALSE"

Add this options in order to have 1024x768@85Hz.
If they aren't present the drivers will use the "detected" refresh rate.

Hope that would help someone

I'm gona have some sleep

Thanks for reporting, I'm sure it will help other users

[Justbill]

OK, here is what I did earlier, and where it got me. As per your instructions, I did this:

##Section "Device"
## Identifier "Intel Corporation i915 Integrated Graphics Controller"
## Driver "i810"
## BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
##EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "COMPAQ FS760"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "NVIDIA Corporation NV40 [GeForce FX 5200]"
Monitor "COMPAQ FS760"
DefaultDepth 24


Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV40 [GeForce FX 5200]"
Driver "nv"
BusID "PCI:2:3:0"
EndSection

I then switched to pci in the bios, and re-connected the monitor to my GeForce. First attempt at boot had the "kernel panic", booting the
2.6.15-20-386 recovery mode selection in grub. Then I tried the
2.6.12-10-386 recovery mode, and that one booted into graphical. So I followed the "Breezy" method 2 instructions (duh....do I feel stupid, I forgot I had upgraded to "Dapper"). I tried using the 8178 installer. This did not work, so I tried the "Dapper" method 2 instructions, with the 8756 installer, that also did not work.

Tomorrow I intend to try again, I noticed that when I checked /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, after running the installer, the file did NOT have a BusID in the "Device" section. I was too tired to think of it then, but perhaps if I would have added that, gdm start would have worked.

So, it looks like I have a chance of getting this to work with the 2.6.12-10 kernel. It at least boots when connected to the GeForce.

With that in mind, and with the information we have so far, how would you approach this at this point?

Is there possibly a problem with my 2.6.15-20 kernel? If so, is it fixable?

Thank you so much for your time and attention to this problem!

Thank you so much for your time and attention to this problem!

Justbill
First of all I would like you to know that I understand your frustration.
1) uninstall the driver from the 8756 installer (it's explained in my guide for Dapper)
2) uninstall the driver from the 8178 installer
3) Boot in your 2.6.12-10-386 in Recovery mode (if that's the only one that doesn't panic).
4) Use my script which you will find in my guide for Dapper. It will set up the driver automatically.
5) Try to start the xserver (type "startx") and tell me if it works

[glenn45]

Tseliot! Thanks a lot for the guide! I got my nvidia drivers working in my amd64 3000+! and my graphics are so cool!

Thanks!

[Justbill]

Well, I am using the 2.6.12-10 kernel, with the monitor connected to my GeForce. In /etc/X11/xorg.conf it still says the driver is "nv". Is that correct? I used Your script, and it went very smoothly. Prior to running the script, I discovered that evidently this kernel has some problems on this machine. All of a sudden I don't have sound ("no volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found), and my date and time have jumped ahead. Here is the output of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file

My script should set your xorg.conf to "nvidia" instead of "nv"

[Eazy©]

Hi!
I just bought some new hardware:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 4400+ X2 Dual-Core
GFX: XFX 7900gt PCIe (extreme edition)
RAM: 2x Corsair 512Mb
MB: MSI K8N-Sli

I reinstalled Kubuntu Breezy and installed "kernel 2.6.12-10-k7-smp" (thought I should do that as I got a X2 CPU). Then I installed the latest Driver from Nvidia using "Method 2". The Nvidia driver installed with no errors.

When I tested to se what fps Glxgears would give me, I get:
Window mode: 17728.682 FPS
Full screen mode: 1873.842 FPS

When playing UT2004 I get strage graphic errors (big colourd blocks) and really bad fps (35-50 fps).

My script should set your xorg.conf to "nvidia" instead of "nv"

Thats what I thought.

I remember reading somewhere, when I was trying to get things working under FC5 ( before I gave up on that os for "Breezy" on this box, now upgraded to "Dapper), that there was a bug in the 2.6.15-20 kernel, that caused a problem with nvidia stuff. That was a little while back, and to be truthful, I don't off hand remember exactly what that said. And if there was a problem, I am not aware if there has been a fix for it yet or not.

I am really a beginner at so much of this, but do you think a new kernel may be in order here? And if I did something like that, where do I get it, and what all do I need to compile. I saw your tutorial "Kernel compilation for Newbies", but doesn't it deal with an older version? Where would I get a more recent kernel image? And would any of that even help? Or is this an incompatibility issue with my motherboard? Can a new kernel be compiled with the necessary stuff for my GeForce?

Again, thanks so much for all the efforts you have put forth trying to get this video card to work!!

Thanks

Hello tseliot. I tried Method 2, and it didn't work for me. Here is what happened:

I have a GeForce 4 MX 440. I donwloaded the latest driver (8756). I did as you said till the command that says:

sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8756-pkg1.run

I entered the driver installer and found errors. Something about gcc-3.4 required but gcc-4.0 is being used, although I did exactly like you said. Now I am stuck! I can't go back to my previous configuration (the xorg crahsed) and I can't install the driver. Help!

Boot in Recovery Mode (it won't start the xserver, i.e. you'll see only the command line)
type:
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Set the driver back to "nv" (instead of "nvidia" in the Section Device)
CTRL+O (to save)
CTRL+X (to exit)

type:
reboot

Now the xserver will work.

Before you try to install the driver you need to read Point 3 of the Problems Section of my guide.

The compatibility issue might be due to the kernel version, i.e. it is likely that the latest kernel supports your motherboard (I'm not sure though).

If you want to compile the latest kernel you can try my guide "Kernel compilation for Newbies" and read the part about how to compile a Vanilla kernel.

[Justbill]

I'll give that a try this evening, when I get home. Thanks!

[hawque]

I'm now actually getting an error message when I try, after I tried to install the legacy drivers instead (just to see if something would work). The X server has failed to initialize, it's likely it is set up incorrectly. It then takes me to tty1 and asks me to login.

[Eazy©]

Thanx for nothing then. Guesse its true then. Linux is free only if your time is worthless. So much time I have put in Linux and still it does not work... Goodbye Linux!!

[Amorphous_Snake]

Hello TSELIOT,

I have successfully installed the new driver, without the need to compile the kernel. But I have 2 problems:

First: The system freezes! I tried to do as you said in your guide, but there is a problem. The xorg.config is empty! There is nothing in it to edit!

Second: The screen refresh rate is still fixed at certain values that are irritating. Like 60 Hz and 70 Hz (I am talking about a CRT).

Thanks for this guide. But are all the problems I am having with my GF4 MX due to Ubuntu alone, or are they Linux problems in general to this kind of cards? I might get another distro. And also, don't you think there will ever be an easy way to install drivers just as you do it in Windows?

That would be impossible.
This is the right file:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
(it's NOT xorg.config)

Second: The screen refresh rate is still fixed at certain values that are irritating. Like 60 Hz and 70 Hz (I am talking about a CRT).
Read point 6 of the Problems section.

Thanks for this guide. But are all the problems I am having with my GF4 MX due to Ubuntu alone, or are they Linux problems in general to this kind of cards? I might get another distro.
If you want an easier distro to run you can try PCLinuxOS. It can be installed from a livecd and there is also a version which includes the Nvidia driver by default. It comes also with the codecs by default. It's a very nice distro.

And also, don't you think there will ever be an easy way to install drivers just as you do it in Windows?
Windows has a more advanced xserver, doesn't have different kernels (ok, this is true only to a certain point), etc.

And Nvidia doesn't invest the same amount of money in its Linux driver. It's obvious that Windows is its main market.

If you use distros like Suse or PCLinuxOS, things are easier.

I have written a script for Dapper to set up the drivers automatically but that doesn't solve compatibilty problems (it only installs the driver). That's the only thing I can do at the moment.

[tseliot]

I'll give that a try this evening, when I get home. Thanks!

tseliot, sorry for blind in not reading your post correctly. I followed exactly what you told me in your last post and now I have managed to installed the nvidia driver.

Only problem is, the performance hasn't quite improved. I don't play games..so that's not what I am talking about. I am only bothered about smooth window maximisation and minimisation, quick responses of buttons etc. and I don't think it's got anything to do with my CPU which is a AMD AthlonXP 2000+ and I am also using kerkel k-7 to go with it.

So any ideas why the performace is still edgy? :( More importantly, any troubleshooters in mind? :)

You can add this option to the Section Device of your xorg.conf:
Option "RenderAccel" "True"
Then save the file, log out and press CTRL+ALT+Backspace.

This should make things a bit more responsive.

However if you notice instabilities you have to remove that option.

Sorry for being grumpy, but it was not response to you alone, someone else could have answerd. I bought expensive hardware to make my gaming experiens better in linux but it didn't work out at the time. I posted in nvnews forum and solved my problem. The driver wasen't installed properly and the gfx was rendering in software mode (strange since there was no errors what I could see when I installed the drivers). Anyway it's solved now, and once again, I'm sorry (I was just so mad...no excuse for my behavior, but a reason)

METHOD 2
(snip)
3) sudo passwd root
(and set the root password which you will need later)

Why encourage users to set a root password? This is going against the Ubuntu sudo philosophy and could be potentially dangerous (users setting easily guessed passwords and so on). sudo -i will get the job done just as well as logging in as root.

One could argue that not installing the drivers as debs is going against Debian/Ubuntu philisophy as well but I digress.

I know even a better method (for that particular case) and I'm planning to update the guide.
Thanks for the suggestion, anyway :wink:

Håkan
If the developers made available the documentation I would make my debs and set up a repository or, even better, I would make a script which compiles the debs automatically and satisfies the dependecies (PCLinux OS already has that!).

BTW Debian and Ubuntu's deb of the nvidia drivers are based on the Nvidia installer.

Debian and Ubuntu's philosophies are meant to guarantee the quality of the package, I know that. But the drivers are supposed to improve compatibility and add the support for new cards. This is the reason for which not everybody stick with the drivers in the repos.

My 2 cents

[hw-tph]

I didn't mean to jump on you, the only thing that I actually had a problem with was the setting of a superuser password.

I have had a brief look at the structure of the nvidia-kernel-source package to see how it is put together, but I haven't really seen any documentation on how it is properly created. It would really be nice to know what procedures are involved. I haven't even found any info on the mailing lists.

thanks for the howto. i printed out your "method 1" instructions and just installed an nvidia geforce4 card.

[bugnot]

Hi there,

Just installed Ubuntu Breezy today. I used automatix to install everything I needed, including nvidia drivers for my AGP GeForce MX 440. The card does WORK, but as described in the HOWTO, the system seems to freeze intermittently for 3-4 seconds (however i can still move the mouse).

I tried editing xorg.conf and adding the lines that were suggested i.e.
Option "NvAGP" "0". However, when I add these lines, I get no display on the monitor when xserver starts...When I remove them, everything works fine again (with the exception of the freezing). Commenting every line but Option "NvAGP" "0" out causes the same problem. I'm completely new to linux so it's quite possible I've missed something obvious...

Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated!

Neil

[ubuntuross]

I have a GeForce MX 440 card in my Linux box. I tried using Method 1 of this guide and then my x-server couldn't start.

Fortunately, before I started Method 1, I downloaded NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8756-pkg1.run from Nvidia's website. So I just ran that form the console and it downloaded and built something to match directly to my kernel. Then I rebooted the machine and "presto"...things were working just fine again.

However, my resolution is still limited to a max of 1024x768 (just like it was before). Any ideas on how I can get my resolutoin up to something like 1200x(whatever this number is...I can't remember). It goes up to higher resolutions in Windows just fine (I know...this isn't Windows...but I want higher resolution).

Any suggestions/help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Option "NvAGP" "0". However, when I add these lines, I get no display on the monitor when xserver starts...When I remove them, everything works fine again (with the exception of the freezing). Commenting every line but Option "NvAGP" "0" out causes the same problem. I'm completely new to linux so it's quite possible I've missed something obvious...

Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated!

Neil
Have you got a AMD64?

[bugme]

Nope, athlon 1700

[tseliot]

Nope, athlon 1700
Does that "freezing" take place also when the driver is set to "nv" in your /etc/xorg.conf?

[bugme]

I don't know, I'll give it a shot tonight and let you know. Thanks :)

[bugme]

Yup it doesn't freeze when i change it to nv. However, when i go into nvidia settings configuration, all the options are gone. The reason i needed the drivers and those settings was because my monitor itself is quite dark, even when the brightness knob is turned right up. I was only able to further adjust the brightness through the driver settings, which are now no longer there ](*,)

Am i screwed? Even if there is no option other than to keep it set to nv, is there a 3rd party app of some kind that would let me adjust these settings?

Thanks again for your time :)

Hi,

I have just installed Dapper Drake (64) ... trying now to get nvidia drivers working

followed wiki guide & your thread guide but I get

mrgreen@dhcppc0:~$ nvidia-settings

ERROR: NV-CONTROL extension not found on this Display.


ERROR: Unable to determine number of NVIDIA GPUs on ':0.0'.


ERROR: Unable to determine number of NVIDIA Frame Lock Devices on ':0.0'.

Any idea whats going on ?

TIA

/me keeps searching for answer

If you need any more output then please let me know ;-)

[Giga]

Tseliot,
i read your post.. correct me if im wrong please
i have a Geforce 6200 and CPU amd64bits (thus, method 2)
i download the correct file

question: Why i just can´t run like nvidia site said instead to do your steps?

i.e
code:
sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8756-pkg2.run

in fact, i did this and i get a wrong message.. saying it lacks the "LB" or "LD"

shoud be a library or something?
im using 5.10 Ubuntu

Thanks

This guide is for Breezy.

You should follow this guide of mine for Dapper:

I must admit that I don't know what can be causing the problem.

Automatix installed driver 7667.
Perhaps you can use Method 2 to install the latest driver so as to see if it works better.

[tseliot]

You have got a AMD64 CPU but the question is: Are you using Ubuntu 32bit (x86) or Ubuntu 64bit (AMD64)?

If you don't know the answer, can you post the output of this command?
uname -a

[MrGreen]

Thanks very much, after going through install instructions again Nvidia is working now.....:p

/me goes to try out Xgl ;-)

[Giga]

Tseliot,

your method 2 works flawsless. Thank you very much ::mrgreen:

GPU: Geforce 6200 TC 256MB

ps: no need to comment " load dri" and " load glcore" cause they weren't there.
load glx was already without # here.

Ps: Why the video card doesn't show up in Device Manager???


Thanks

[tseliot]

Ps: Why the video card doesn't show up in Device Manager???
I'm sure it's there but it's hidden.

For example, mine is under "VT8237 PCI bridge [K8T800/K8T890" and NV34 [GeForce FX 5500]

[Paul Chang]

Just got a new card "XFX Geforce 6800 XT". Exactly following the metohd 2 of the how-to, intalled the lastest driver 8756 downloaded from www.nvidia.com, however the X cannot be started. Part of the xorg.0.log files is shown as follows:

(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module glx
(II) UnloadModule: "glx"
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0)
...........
(II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia
(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)


Could any gurus help me to fix the problem?

BTW, I have to use "nv" driver right now. Although "nv" works, I want to get TV-out of "6800 XT" work.

Thanks in advance.

Try this:
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and set the driver to nvidia.

Then log out and press CTRL+ALT+F1
Stop the xserver:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (or kdm stop, if you use KDM)
Then:
sudo depmod -A
sudo modprobe nvidia
Restart the xserver:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start (or kdm start, if you use KDM)

[Paul Chang]

Thanks, tseliot.

Tried "sudo depmod -A", "sudo modprobe nvidia". The nvidia module does show in "lsmod". But when I restarted X, the screen flashes twice or three times, and show a message "Failed to start X server .......".

Also, a very strange problem: if the card connected to a TV, I even cannot start GRUB, and I got an error message "Error 21". I have to unplug the s-video cable and reset the computer. Is this the problem of the video card or just because of the OS (I am using Breezy)? If it is the card problem, I'll return it and get another one.

I need to diagnose the error.
Type:
Set the driver to "nvidia" in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf

then log out and press CTRL+ALT+F1

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (if you use GDM)
OR
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop (if you use KDM)

Then:
startx -- -verbose 5 -logverbose 5

You will see several lines with the same error.

Then if you can't get to the command line press CTRL+ALT+F1 or CTRL+C (select NO if it asks you if you want to see the output of the error or something like that)

Then type this in order to copy the output of the error to your home folder:
sudo cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log /home/your_username/Xorg.0.log
(Of course you have to replace "your_username" with your username)

Access the GNOME or KDE again in the following way:
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Set the driver back to "nv" instead of "nvidia"
CTRL+O to save
CTRL+X to exit

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (if you use GDM)
OR
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop (if you use KDM)

Then
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start (if you use GDM)
OR
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start (if you use KDM)


Post the content of that file (which you can find under /home/your_username/Xorg.0.log )

That thing is not normal and I don't know what can be causing that problem.

Anyhow, you shouldn't turn on your computer with you s-video cable plugged in (you should plug it in later, after Ubuntu has booted).

I am using Breezy 5.10. The output related to glx from "locate glx" is as follows:
Try my script that will install the driver automatically for you:

1) Download my script for Breezy which is for Ubuntu 32bit (let me know if you need one for Ubuntu 64bit):

wget http://www.webalice.it/albertomilone/ubuntu/nvidia/nvidia_script_8756_32_breezy


2) Log out and press CTRL+ALT+F1 (so as to get out of the Desktop Environment, i.e. you'll see ONLY the command line)


3) Log in (if required)

4) Make the script executable:

cd /home/your_username/path_to_the_file_you_downloaded

sudo chmod a+x name_of_the_file_you_downloaded

5) Run the script:

sudo ./name_of_the_file_you_downloaded

Then answer the questions (very few).

[Paul Chang]

OK, tried your script file. At the end after I run your script file, I got the following:

Error: Module nvidia does not exist in /proc/modules

I checked /proc/modules (the "modules" file also attached to this post), nvidia module IS there. Kind of strange.

Also, are you using "kdm" in your script file?

(you are so kind to help the other people. Really appreciate that!)

I've never seen a problem of that kind. But that's because of my limited experience.

I think you should ask for help on the Unofficial Nvidia Forum (the nvidia staff will help you there):
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14

Also, are you using "kdm" in your script file?
I'm using both kdm and gdm

[Paul Chang]

Thanks. I'll go to Unofficial Nvidia Forum to try some luck.

[Paul Chang]

OK, I didn't get any luck from the Unofficial Nvidia Forum. My question was even not answered after two days.

I re-checked my Xorg.0.log file very carefully, and noticed that my module parth was set to be "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules", however my nvidia driver is in directory "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers", and glx is in directory "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions". So I made two links in directory "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules", i.e.


ln -s /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/nvidia_drv.o

ln -s /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/libglx.so /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libglx.so


Then, I log out and press CTRL+ALT+F1 to go to the terminal, and stop the GDM by "sudo /etc/init.d/gmd stop", modify the xorg.conf (i.e. change the "nv" driver to "nvidia", and disable "GLcore" and "DRI"), restart the GDM. Now, everything is fine.

However, I also noticed another problem in my Xorg.0.log file, which is shown as follows:

(--) PCI:*(5:0:0) nVidia Corporation unknown chipset (0x00c3) rev 162, Mem @ 0xfc000000/24, 0xa0000000/29, 0xfd000000/24

Why is the chipset unknown? It should be "Geforce 6800 XT".

Next, I need to get TV-out work. This is the only reason I dumped my ATI All-in-Wonder, and get this card, since most of the people in many forums said that Nvidia has a better support for Linux. Hopefully, I can get some help from here in tv-out stuff.

[tseliot]

Why is the chipset unknown? It should be "Geforce 6800 XT".
Don't worry, that's absolutely normal.

[Lude]

I tried Method 2 manually and the script you provided, both of which i encountered the same problem. Everything went fine, it downloaded and everything, then:


ERROR: Installation has failed. See file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details
cp: cannot stat 'usr/lib/xorg/lib/libX*': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat 'usr/lib/xorg/lib/modules/drivers/*': No such file or directory

Right after that is the message that asks if i want to automaticlly update my xconf file or something, then the other that asks if i want to start xserver.

I just cant get these drivers installed to save my life. I just want to use my videocard (7600gt) instead of an old 5200fx i had to throw in so it would install and work. Thanks.

Hi i was following you instructions for method 2 and when i got to the uname -r it outputed 2.6.12-amd64-generic. and i cant get any further the next step wont work useing this output.

This guide is for Breezy but you're using the script for Dapper. Which version of Ubuntu do you use?

[tseliot]

Hi i was following you instructions for method 2 and when i got to the uname -r it outputed 2.6.12-amd64-generic. and i cant get any further the next step wont work useing this output.
Do you refer to this command?
sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`

BTW you have to type it as it is (do not replace `uname -r` with the result of the command uname -r)

If apt-get doesn't find that package you can go ahead (it means that you hadn't installed it before).

[Slavus]

im sorry, I'm newb and I dont know how to read.

Is a geforce 6800 either of

Geforce 6800 doesn't need the legacy driver. It's a recent card therfore you might want to use the latest driver.

[Slavus]

Ok I followed both step 1 and step 2 using drivers from Nvidia.com, how do I know which one to download though? I tried the 32bit one, and it installed fine but still doesnt work--

How do I check whether i need the
Linux IA32
Linux IA64 or
Linux AMD64/EM64T

drivers?

Sorry if these questions are irritatingly newb, but its my second day

UPDATE: My scripts are available also for Breezy.

Use'em, love'em ;)

EDIT: I fixed a typo in my script.

[KillrBuckeye]

I tried your script for Breezy, but it did not work. It downloaded the installer and seemed to install okay, but it failed to start the X server. The errors are:

(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.


To give a little more background, I am able to manually install the nVidia drivers myself using the 8756 installer package. This will allow me to start up GDM just fine and everything appears to be good. The problem is that when I restart, something changes and X can no longer start. The error message says:

"Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!"

At this point, I can manually reinstall the driver and everything is fine again... What is going on? I've even had some of my friends on IRC try to help me out, but they have run out of ideas.

EDIT: Issue resolved! Thank you tseliot!

I recently made a full migration from Windows to Linux, choosing Ubuntu because of is "friendliness", thing that I would need in the beggining.

Im becoming a little frustated with the installation of this drivers. The nv driver work perfectly, the same with nvidia-glx, but I cant get ride of the multiple problems for install the latest.
Now, the installer said me that it cant find the "kernel.h" module, that I should especify the path to it. The thing is that for what Ive seen to this point, Ubuntu doesnt handle the kernel exactly like other distributions.
I tried to compile a clean kernel, unsuccesfuly. Errors and lot of modules loaded by default. Argh, this is confusing.

What should I do?

Try my script, please:

[JMO707]

I tryed it. Its says something similar, that there is no "/usr/src/kernel-2.6.12-10-386" or something like that.
As I said, I make several attemps to compile a kernel, because simply decompressing the kernel source didnt work neither. It says that it isnt configured. Well, the problem is that I cant compile a kernel in a clean way. It seems that every one that I tryed had came already "customized", via apt-get and via kernel.org too. Dont know why.

[archis]

Just in case you're seeing this problem after the last round of X.org updates:

x server crashes when screensaver kicks in (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/printthread.php?t=172188)

-> time to reinstall or rather update your nvidia drivers, kids. :cool:

[JMO707]

Now, this is unheard of. I decide to use the nvidia-glx drivers because Im tired of tryng, and now, when the X server start with them, the screen blinks 3 times and then the system crash with the black screen. They WORKED before I wanted to use them... -_-

[t0bb3]

I believe the NVidia driver package also included the NVidia Settings program as I was able to run 'nvidia-settings' without installing it. I look in Synaptic and it is clearly not installed.
Yep, that's true for driver 8174 or higher.
You might want to mention that there's no need to install nvidia-settings in the HOWTO. You say that there's no need to edit the xorg.conf file, but you don't say anything about nvidia-settings.

[tseliot]

I tryed it. Its says something similar, that there is no "/usr/src/kernel-2.6.12-10-386" or something like that.
It's not an error if you're not using a recompiled kernel.
BUT if you're using a recompiled kernel (i.e. you compiled the kernel) then you might not have the kernel headers installed.

I don't understand what you're saying.

If you need to recompile your kernel, please follow (EVERY STEP of) this guide of mine:
HOWTO: Kernel Compilation for Newbies (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=85064)

Ok, I forgot that I have to make clear also what users should not do (that would be quite a long list though ;) )

EDIT: I've made that quite clear now

[KillrBuckeye]

hi tseliot. After I downloaded some kernal updates, I needed to reinstall the nVidia module, so I tried running your script again. The installation failed and I checked the log to find the reason. It was because the compiler was not set to gcc-3.4. In my case, I was simply able to do a “CC=gcc-3.4” and “export CC”, but the 3.4 compiler does not come installed by default (at least with Ubuntu Breezy 5.10). So maybe you could add some lines in your script to check whether gcc-3.4 is installed, download and install it if necessary, and set it as the current compiler? This would really help newbs like me! Just a suggestion.

Thanks for making me notice. The script for Breezy only installed gcc-4.0.

EDIT: Ok, now it should set the right gcc

[russ_armst]

Thought I would post the solution to the problem I've been having with installing the latest 8756 NVIDIA drivers I downloaded from www.nvidia.com (http://www.nvidia.com) on a new install of Dapper (Beta 2).

After the installer sucessfully built and installed everything X could not be restarted, the xorg.0.log file shows:

(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module glx
(II) UnloadModule: "glx"
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0)
...........
(II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia
(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)


After a few days of trawling various forums, hair pulling, hacking ](*,) etc I began to suspect that the files had been installed to the wrong dirs. I stumbled across this post about an hour ago:

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=70112

It seems that the NVIDIA installer requires the xserver-xorg-dev package to determine were to put the files. So i did the folowing:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-dev
sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8756-pkg1.run
sudo reboot

Et voila... one spanking new NVIDIA X Server up and running. This worked for me on Dapper (Beta 2) and hopefully this this post will save others the frustration and hair loss. Sorry but I can't offer any other advice as I'm a 2 day old Ubuntu (and llinux) newbie. A very chuffed newbie though :D

Hope this helps someone.

[JMO707]

Well, I just wanna say that finally I got it, hehe.
I compiled a new kernel (2.6.16ck10) using this (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=157560) guide, and then used the script that you posted tseliot. Fantastic. The only thing that seems strange is that after I enabled the FastWrite and SideBandAdressing, via glxgears the FPS had decresead in 5 or 6 :s
Anyway, Im happy and not angry now ^^

Thanks.

1) are you using Ubuntu Breezy ir Dapper?
2) why did you use "NvAGP" and "RenderAccel" "1"?

[GTroy]

I'm in breezy, I used renderaccel "1" to try to turn it on.
I used NvAGP because I'm using an agp 6200 nvidia card

I'm glad you got back to me!!

I edited out NvAGP, and renderAccel with no difference

my nvidia-glx is for 7667 driver and my installed nvidia driver is the newest one

I suspect that an update to Dapper sometime between Wed May 10 and Sat May 13 has clobbered X. I cannot begin an X session with either the nv or nvidia drivers.

I have run tseliot's script for 32-bit Dapper. It ran perfectly. There appears, however, to be no progress on the problem. When kdm starts (or restarts), I get the kdm logo on console 7. It hangs. From the hung console, I can switch to a virtual console (1 through 6) and do a warm reboot (Ctl-Alt-Del); that is all. The symptoms are the same whether I run the nv or nvidia drivers.

Comment 1: I do not have and have never had a wacom tablet. The wacom driver is enabled as a module in the default Dapper kernel configuration.

I have run tseliot's script for 32-bit Dapper. It ran perfectly. There appears, however, to be no progress on the problem. When kdm starts (or restarts), I get the kdm logo on console 7. It hangs. From the hung console, I can switch to a virtual console (1 through 6) and do a warm reboot (Ctl-Alt-Del); that is all. The symptoms are the same whether I run the nv or nvidia drivers. The difference between the two xorg.conf files:

48,50c48
< # Load "glx"
< Load "dri"
< Load "GLcore"
---
> Load "glx"
118c116
< Driver "nv"
---
> Driver "nvidia"

Here are the final 35 lines of /var/log/kdm.log with the nv driver:

Fatal server error:
could not open default cursor font 'cursor'

Comment 1: I do not have and have never had a wacom tablet. The wacom driver is enabled as a module in the default Dapper kernel configuration.
Comment 2: The library providing GLcore is in the package xserver-xorg-core. I have confirmed that it is properly installed.
Comment 3: I do not understand the error about "default cursor font 'cursor'

I would welcome comments, advice or further tests to run.
Try this:
sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and set the driver to "vesa" (instead of "nv" or "nvidia")

Then exit, save, and type:
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart

Then you should be able to enter the graphical environment therefore you can post the content of your xorg.conf here

Its probably not the habit of posting a problem 2 times on the same forum but im kinda desperate... I dont really know if its a twinview or a nvidia driver problem...

my problem:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1008394&postcount=73

Im coding quit much lately for my thesis and its annoying me terribly i lose so much space on my 2nd screen. To be more specific its like the screen height is ok but the width is just pushed a little bit toghter (3cm to be precise, 6 was to much actually)

and as an addition: my Xorg.0.log file

(WW) NVIDIA(0): EDID. If, however, you know what you are doing and have
(WW) NVIDIA(0): good reason to do so, you can disable the X driver's use

(WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "UseEDID" "FALSE"

(WW) NVIDIA(0): Note that, rather than globally disable all uses of the EDID,
(WW) NVIDIA(0): you can individually disable each particular use of the

Its probably not the habit of posting a problem 2 times on the same forum but im kinda desperate... I dont really know if its a twinview or a nvidia driver problem...

my problem:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1008394&postcount=73

Im coding quit much lately for my thesis and its annoying me terribly i lose so much space on my 2nd screen. To be more specific its like the screen height is ok but the width is just pushed a little bit toghter (3cm to be precise, 6 was to much actually)

and as an addition: my Xorg.0.log file
I'm not sure it works (I don't use twinview but I can help you with the driver) but I guess it's worth trying:
Add this to the Section Device of your xorg.conf:
Option "ModeValidation" "NoMaxPClkCheck;NoEdidMaxPClkCheck"


Then
sudo nano -w /etc/modprobe.conf
and set it like this
options nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=4

Save and exit

then log out and press CTRL+ALT+Backspace.

Let me know if it works.

[woot]

sudo nano -w /etc/modprobe.conf
and set it like this
options nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=4


i tried, all in vain.

Though i must say i normally have the Nvreg_mobile set to 1 and this is not in the modprobe.conf file (which i dont have) but in the /etc/modprobe.d/options file.

I tried changing it in the options file and aswell with adding the modprobe.conf file. restarted gdm but no succes...

thnx for trying

tseliot,
Thank you for taking an interest in my problem. Changing the video driver to "vesa" and restarting kdm has not helped. I have installed Breezy to another partition and am monitoring updates to Dapper in case whatever caused this problem gets fixed again.

Here is the current xorg.conf from the no longer usable Dapper setup. The monitor, BTW, is a Dell 2405FPW whose optimal setting is 1920x1200@60Hz:

SCRIPT UPDATED to Version 0.033a

*Added a Reinstall function that doesn't download the Nvidia installer every time you need to reinstall it
*Added a control of the integrity of the Nvidia installer (md5sum)
*Added the development package for the Xserver (Dapper's scripts only).
*Fixed a typo in the scripts for Breezy

Please, let me know of any bugs you find.

Quick question:
Should I let the nvidia installer automatically edit the X configuration file? The defualt is no...

Quick question:
Should I let the nvidia installer automatically edit the X configuration file? The defualt is no...
Is your xorg.conf already configure for the nvidia driver?

The choice is down to you

UPDATE: I've corrected a typo that caused the script not to work

[blknit]

I have a m/b (MS-7168 with RS480 chipset) affected from the 'double clock speed problem' . I resolved the problem with the "noapictimer irqpoll" (thanks Tseliot !) option at boot but... (yes there is a but..) recently bought a new graphic card (Nvidia 7300GS PCIE), installed the drivers and each time launch glxgears AND try to move the window my kubuntu breezy immediatly stop responding.

Booting my pc with the option "noapictimer irqpoll acpi=off" glxgear (and UT2004 :) ) runs fine but I lose the network card !! . ](*,)

If I boot disabling noapic the system hangs after loading the kernel.

The m/b bios is updated at the latest version (April 2006).

Could someone help me please ???

I had the same motherboard (and the same problem) as yours.

Get to the BIOS and switch the graphical adapter to PCI-E instead of PCI.

Then save and exit.

](*,) Hi there, I tried editing the x11 config file (per your advice,](*,) , did that ever go south.........now I have GDM _x11 boot failure.

Can you help? I am running 5.10, GDM says "parse error on line 68, of section Device, "NoLogo" is not a valid keyword.

Should I edit out the NoLogo bit in the config file or is there a simpler way to do this?

Is anybody else having similar problems with that bit of advice you gave, ifso perhaps we should modify file?

Try to comment it out (i.e. put a # before it)

I would like to see the entire xorg.conf

I had the same motherboard (and the same problem) as yours.

Get to the BIOS and switch the graphical adapter to PCI-E instead of PCI.

Then save and exit.

There is no such setting in the bios.
I changed "Internal Graphics Mode" setting from UMA to disabled and leaved the "Primary Display" setting unchanged (Auto = PCIE, internal, PCI). The other setting, "Internal" prioritize the internal video card (Xpress200).

Set it up in this way:

Plug & Play OS NO

Internal Graphics Mode Disabled

[tseliot]

SCRIPT UPDATED:
I've fixed a bug in the Reinstall function that didn't allow you to leave your xorg.conf unconfigured.

Set it up in this way:

Plug & Play OS NO

Internal Graphics Mode Disabled

Will try with "Plug & Play OS=NO"

Thanks

If it "shows colorful vertical lines" it means that your card is not supported by the open source driver ("nv") which comes by default with Ubuntu.

You have to install Nvidia's proprietary driver ("nvidia") by following this guide or using my scripts.

My script has a name now: Envy

A new version is out: 0.35 (It's a bit more polished than before)

I´ve tried your 0.34a version on my Ubuntu 6.06 LTS latest release, with nvidia scritps 8762... and suddenly my X doesn´t start anymore

It says something that GLX modules are unavailable...

(had nvidia-glx drivers installed from ubuntu and worked fine...)

--------------------
also... I´ve been trying with your scripts to update nvidia drivers because I´ve tried a zillion times to get Xgl + compiz running on my box..
and never got it working...

I get always the same results..after following the guides posted here carefully..
x starts... and if I choose to start compiz... the bars of the windows dissapear, and I cant move none of them or resize..or nothing (until I use metacity --replace)

And that is from the best results I got..

the error is always the same:
compiz: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz: No managable screens found on display :0.0

believe me I´ve tried everything...
checked the LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mesa/lib.
then tried to check with glxinfo..but got "badalloc" errors or something..
also tried to resolve the libx"something".so.1 thing...
also installed from 0.... ](*,)

I´m not sure...but I really think that mesa is doing some troubles on amd64.... because on my work I got it working using an intel 915 card and ubuntu I386

1) about my script: make sure all your repositories are enabled. If you don't know how to do that you can post the content of your /etc/apt/sources.list

2) to access the Graphical interface again:
sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and set the driver to "nv" (or "vesa") instead of "nvidia" in the Section Device of your xorg.conf

CTRL+X to exit (save the file)

then type:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (or "kdm restart" if you use KDM)

3) I don't use XGL therefore I think you should ask the ones who wrote the guides about it.

Just for now, please remove XGL otherwise the nvidia driver might not work.
