[Bug 272474] Re: jockey silently fails to enable nvidia driver
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 288662 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288662 I think we have two different bugs discussed here. The original problem of immediate silent failure occurs on a stock intrepid desktop CD with an nVidia quadro board with a recommended nvidia-177 driver (nothing to do with the legacy driver issue from bug 288662). After using update manager to do a check for updates (but not installing any of them) jockey-gtk -e xorg:nvidia-177 runs for about 10 seconds then returns the following dbus error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/jockey-gtk", line 377, in sys.exit(u.run()) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/jockey/ui.py", line 395, in run self.argv_options.confirm, False): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/jockey/ui.py", line 594, in set_handler_enable polkit_auth_wrapper(self.backend().set_enabled, handler_id, enable) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/jockey/backend.py", line 104, in polkit_auth_wrapper return fn(*args, **kwargs) File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/dbus/proxies.py", line 140, in __call__ **keywords) File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/dbus/connection.py", line 607, in call_blocking message, timeout) dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. nwad...@nwadmin-laptop:~$ jockey-gtk -l xorg:nvidia-173 - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173) (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use) kmod:wl - Broadcom STA wireless driver (Proprietary, Enabled, In use) xorg:nvidia-177 - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 177) (Proprietary, Enabled, Not in use) I had jockey-backend running in a separate window as suggested above and about 30 seconds after jockey-gtk crashed the backend kicked to life and apparently installed the driver successfully. It seems to me that the silent failure is related to a repository/package problem on the CD. The dbus failure might be a download timeout. -- jockey silently fails to enable nvidia driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272474 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Exact same issue w/nVidia Quadro4 900 XGL (AGP 4x, 128MB) & 2.6.27-4-generic. Followed the above and received the same as Ori.

You're correct. "modinfo" doesn't show the module.

[Bug 272474] Re: jockey silently fails to enable nvidia driver
Yes, indeed it should be marked as enabled afterwards, so that's a bug. It checks the following things in order to consider a driver as enabled: - xorg.conf must have Driver "nvidia", which seems to be the case according to comment 5 - if xorg.conf is invalid (syntax error, etc.), it is regarded as "disabled". This isn't the case here (with your xorg.conf) - the package nvidia-glx-96 is installed; does "dpkg -s nvidia-glx-96" succeed and show you the package description? - the module nvidia is not blacklisted (I don't think that's the case); this should give no results: grep -r 'blacklist.*nvidia' /etc/modprobe.d - the nvidia module is available; does "modinfo nvidia" succeed and show you the module description? I suspect that the last item fails, and the module is not available, but I'll wait for your answer before theoretizing further.

[Bug 272474] Re: jockey silently fails to enable nvidia driver
Using the GUI to enable the driver, the light stays red and nothing else happens. If things look fine, my gripe is that I see nothing weird after enabling. The least I expect is an error message telling me that something went wrong. >From "jockey-gtk -l"'s output I understand that a package can be "Enabled" and >it can be "In use", and that these are two different things. After enabling the package with -e, this is what -l prints: xorg:nvidia-71 - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 71) (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use) xorg:nvidia-96 - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 96) (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use) Should -e at least mark it is "Enabled"? -- jockey silently fails to enable nvidia driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272474 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 272474] Re: jockey silently fails to enable nvidia driver
That actually looks fine then? It seems that jockey actually enabled the package and the xorg.conf changes. Does it show anything weird/wrong after enablng? Please keep in mind that versions 71 and 96 do not actually *work* in Intrepid, they'll just crash X and fall back to some safe defaults (see bug 251107). Maybe that's the problem here, and this bug should be marked as a duplicate of 251107? -- jockey silently fails to enable nvidia driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272474 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 272474] Re: jockey silently fails to enable nvidia driver
After running "jockey-gtk -e", jockey downloads the correct package and installs it. That process is very visible in the GUI. So "dpkg -l" shows nvidia-glx-96 as being installed. If I enable the 71 driver, then it would remove 96 and install 71. Since I did not enable the nvidia driver, I deleted my xorg.conf to launch X in the fail-safe mode. "jockey-gtk -e" creates this xorg.conf file: Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" DefaultDepth24 Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" EndSection Section "Module" Load"glx" Disable "dri2" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Default Device" Driver "nvidia" Option "NoLogo""True" EndSection -- jockey silently fails to enable nvidia driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272474 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks, looks good so far (nevermind the exception about sl-modem in --debug, that's normal).
