[Bug 227994] Re: password not recognized after suspend

2009-01-07 Thread kevingillan
To add to that, another quick fix did work for me, the one suggested here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/163525
i.e.:

sudo chown root:shadow /sbin/unix_chkpwd
sudo chmod 2755 /sbin/unix_chkpwd

The suggestion there was that this might be a bug in libpam-modules,
rather than gnome-screensaver (if it is the same bug of course).

Just to note that the quick fix didn't work for me, although the problem
sounds identical. Running ubuntu-eee 8.04 on an asus eeepc 901.

~$ ls -l /etc/shadow

[Bug 251832] Re: Hardware Drivers error for nvidia in hardy (2.6.24.19)

2008-12-31 Thread kevingillan
Okay, thanks for responses on this so far. I've just done a clean
install of 8.10, plus updates as of 31-12-08.

Using driver 173 (selected through restricted drivers dialogue) creates
identical problem of very low resolution indeed.

The dialogue now offers, and recommends, driver version 177. This is
definitely better and achieves a resolution of 1024x768. But that's the
wrong aspect ratio for the monitor. The auto generated xorg.conf and the
outputs suggested above are attached.

Cheers.

2008-12-31 Thread kevingillan
Tried solving this through the method used above with limited success. New 
xorg.conf attached. 
- I can now get the resolution 1280x1024 working okay, although its wrong for 
the monitor so some text appears a little fuzzy.
- But 1440x900 and 1280x800 are not offered in the screen resolution dialogue. 
This seems weird because they are clearly and, as far as I can tell, correctly 
specified in the xorg.conf. The new file is identical to the one which 
previously worked for identical hardware running 8.04.
- The GDM login screen appears to be working at the correct resolution, i.e. 
1440x900.

Plus, an interesting oddity: when I changed the resolution at one point
the theme immediately changed. Title bars became blue and differently
shaped and the icon set changed to the one where the logout button is a
green man symbol. I closed the screen resolution dialogue and that theme
stayed, but changed it back to the default when I opened the dialogue
once more, even though I didn't change anything this time. Something's
clearly up.

Would be happy to test a development version if something's been changed
- please point me in the right direction.

Sorted, I think...

Used 
$ sudo gtf 1440 900 60
$ sudo gtf 1280 800 60
to generate modelines instead of the website referenced above. Figures were 
different so I changed xorg.conf to include:

Modeline1440x900_60.00  106.47  1440 1520 1672 1904  900 901 
904 932  -HSync +Vsync
Modeline1280x800_60.00  83.46  1280 1344 1480 1680  800 801 
804 828  -HSync +Vsync

and updated the relevant entries in the display subsection of the screen
section, just because the generated labels were different.

Login screen and gnome now seem to display fine in 1440x900.

2008-08-21 Thread kevingillan
Another fresh install of Hardy, downloaded all updates 18/08/08 and used
restricted drivers manager to add nvidia driver. Same problems
occurring, but this time I followed advice at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto and have
improved screen resolution issues.

Specifically:
- added Horizsync and Vertrefresh ranges to xorg.conf
- added modelines (generated from 
http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl) to Monitor section
- added Display subsection within Screen to specify modes

Still can't get [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is supposed to be native resolution
of monitor. When this is operational the screen is misaligned on the
monitor (shifted to the right and down) and the colours are very wrong,
with everything in shades of green. Simply changing to 1280x800 through
System-Preferences works though, although problems persist with login
screen.

3D hardware acceleration appears to work - i.e. desktop effects and 3D
games seem to run very well. Not sure how to do any more comprehensive
tests of the card though.

Xorg.conf attached.

Further info (=problem with uninstalling restricted drivers)

29-07-08 - software updates installed, mostly firefox related; restarted
X; no change

Used 'hardware drivers' to disable nvidia driver. Received error
message: 'E: nvidia-glx-new: subprocess post-removal script returned
error exit status 2'

Details from synaptic GUI 'details' section:
dpkg-divert: error checking '/usr/lib32/libGL.so.1': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing nvidia-glx-new (--remove):
  subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
  nvidia-glx-new
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:


After reboot I'm back to situation on fresh installation, i.e. resolution 
1280*768; but no higher options and the screen doesn't quite 'fit', some of 
lower panel missing to bottom and left of monitor. Hardware drivers GUI says 
nvidia driver disabled and not in use. xorg.conf is now identical to the 
absolutely minimal one created on installation of ubuntu.

After reading other various bits of advice I've tried:
sudo mkdir /usr/lib32
sudo touch /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1
sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-new

(which seemed to work)

And:
sudo apt-get install envyng-core
envyng -t
(select 1 and follow instructions)

Reboot led monitor to produce an 'input not supported' message. I looked at 
xorg.conf and commented out the line:
Option  AddARGBGLXVisuals True
This got me a display but it was back to the very low resolution one. 
System-Administration-NVidia XServer Settings installed and works but utterly 
unusable in very low resolution offered (e.g. clicking one area highlights a 
different area), but resetting xorg.conf to working basic settings means the 
nvidia settings just throws up information that the nvidia driver isn't being 
used and suggests nvidia-xconfig. (Running that, needless to say, leads to an 
unusably low resolution.)

Have also tried manually editing xorg.conf, but not getting beyond the
low resolution problem despite explicit modelines - example file
attached.

[Bug 251832] [NEW] Hardware Drivers error for nvidia in hardy (2.6.24.19)

2008-07-25 Thread kevingillan
Public bug reported:

Very low resolution screen after enabling nvidia driver in 
System-Admin-Hardware Drivers
This happened after clean install and all updates on 25/07/08.

X now displays at 640x480 x 50hz - the only other resolution available
through System-Preferences-Screen Resolution is 320x240 (ouch!). I'd
like to get 1440x900 with 3d acceleration.

According to System-Administration-Hardware Drivers the appropriate
driver is enabled and in use.

Poss relevant system info: 
Asus P5B-MK motherboard with on-board intel graphics chip (946GZ) that has 
previously worked fine with both gutsy and hardy; 
Intel core 2 duo processor;
NVidia 8500GT graphics card.

cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.24-19-generic ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 
4.2.3-2ubuntu7)) #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 21:01:46 UTC 2008

From synaptic the version of nvidia-glx-new that I'm using is
169.12+2.6.24.13-19.45.

lspci output includes
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8500 GT (rev a1)

dmesg | grep -i nvidia:
[   40.955527] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
[   41.232071] NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  169.12  Thu Feb 
14 17:51:09 PST 2008

Similar to bugs #251644 and/or #232012? I'm not sure, but I've attached outputs 
that were relevant to them, i.e.
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
dpkg -l linux-*  linux.log


Many thanks in advance for any help.
