[Bug 283312] Re: Intrepids nv driver doesn't paint
Thank you for reporting this issue about xserver-xorg-video-nv. Starting with Lucid, Ubuntu is transitioning to using the -nouveau video driver by default instead of -nv. The reason for this change is because upstream development for the -nv driver has been quite slow. We are quite pleased with the upstream development speed for -nouveau, and hope this will translate into swifter bug fixes as well. Because of this, I'm closing this bug report at this time. I'm marking it wontfix because what you describe is probably a valid issue, but we do not have further plans to work on it in Ubuntu. If you would still like to see this issue investigated, I would encourage you to file it upstream at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-nv (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- Intrepids nv driver doesn't paint https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283312 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 283312] Re: Intrepids nv driver doesn't paint
The problem is that the nvidia kernel module is loading from the proprietary drivers, but x is trying to load xserver-xorg-video-nv. If you installed the binary drivers from nvidia.com to get into this situation you will want to run sudo nvidia-settings --uninstall and then install the binary drivers provided by ubuntu instead after you reboot. if thats not the case you can do a sudo apt-get install nvidia-graphics-drivers-185 and it will overwrite your xorg.conf with the needed one. -- Intrepids nv driver doesn't paint https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283312 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 283312] Re: Intrepids nv driver doesn't paint
** Description changed: I've been having serious issues with the nVidia driver the past day so I thought I'd go back to using the NV driver until fixed. It turns out that it's even worse. When the login screen appears I just get a cream coloured screen with a cursor; I type in my username/password and it logs in. Then I get white bars at the top and bottom of my screen where the panels should be, I tried running different things, but I only get a white window and nothing paints on them. So I'm back using nvidia despite having a cursor that's an inch square of garbled pixels, and playing video locks up everything but the cursor. (But I know that's an issue to report directly to nvidia, and have with no reponse). + + [lspci] + 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: VIA Technologies, Inc.

It would seem the xorg.conf doesn't really matter; the first time this happened it was using the output that nvidia-settings gave, this time it's a handcrafted one for nouveau. ** Attachment added: "xorg.conf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18670183/xorg.conf -- Intrepids nv driver doesn't paint https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283312 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

Hi naddiseo, Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- Intrepids nv driver doesn't paint https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283312 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
