[Bug 208718] Re: nvidia-glx-new driver displays white screen of death

2009-01-16 Thread Bryce Harrington
** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-new
  
  Problem: Getting the white screen of death (white screen with random black 
lines appearing) when using the nvidia-glx-new driver
  Using: Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 (development branch) on a Dell XPS m1530 with 
a Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT
  
  When clean-installing Hardy Heron using the live CD and afterwards
  installing the Restricted Driver I get a white screen with random black
  lines. I can hear the login screen coming up and I can even log in by
  typing my username and password. I went into the terminal using ctrl +
  alt + F1 and changed xorg.conf back to using the nv drivers.
  
  When checking the logs I found no errors related to xserver or the
  nvidia drivers. I tried installing the drivers with Envy and I also
  tried a manual installation. The same drivers were working fine on Gutsy
  Gibbon.
  
  This problem seems to be restricted only to the Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT.
  (as far as I know)
  
  A thread on UbuntuForums.org about the same problem:

I tried installing nvidia-glx-new again on my up-to-date install of
Hardy on my XPS m1530.  Perhaps rather obviously, it's still not
working.  Is there going to be any work done on this at all, or do we
have to wait for Intrepid Ibex, which IMO would suck.

hi there.

i had same problems with Hardy, using  linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-18-rt 
and nvidia-glx.
installing nvidia-glx-new (which replaced nvidia-glx) made the issue go away.

this is a Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad  CPU Q9300
with 
GeForce 8600 GT (rev a1)
starting as very bare Hardy server

RTFM: the nvidia docs (online) for the driver gives all the EDID-related
options. My xorg.conf is attached, though; it may help you. I had to disable
various EDID stuff.

[Bug 208718] Re: nvidia-glx-new driver displays white screen of death

2008-06-25 Thread thedevnull
Same problem here..

I have Ubuntu 8.04 64bit on AMD 64X2 with the Nvidia 8800 GT (XFX) and
the Samsung SyncMaster 245bw.

When I first installed I loaded the proprietary Nvidia X.org drivers and
they worked flawlessly for all of 10ish reboots and then it stopped.

Randomly on the 10th reboot it started my machine in low graphics mode
and then gave me some blurred output that can't be read. I can see like
half the screen blurred and then the Ubuntu logo down beyond where I can
click on it. =( So I restarted in recovery mode and repaired X config.
There after I try to reconfigure as I had it before but it doesn't ever
load right. Even tried to remove the proprietary driver and re-download
and reconfigure it and it doesn't work.

I was able to restart and boot into safe mode and get it to work by
restoring a previous xorg.conf file but the results are irregular.  Its
broken several times before and always seems to come back as a problem.
Every once and awhile it just doesn't want to boot properly with the
proprietary driver and goes into a hissy with a illegible Low Graphics
mode.

Hey all!

Here's an attached version of my Xorg.conf file with the driver shipped
with Ubuntu.

Of particular interest is lots of EDID failures. Please note that
these error messages do not appear with the latest Nvidia driver.

So what gives? How do we disable EDID in the Xorg or something?

Re: [Bug 208718] Re: nvidia-glx-new driver displays white screen of death

2008-06-18 Thread drink
My objection to Envy at this time stems from, well, I think Bryce said it
best: A future planned change (likely for Intrepid) will be to break out
both -fglrx and -nvidia from the linux-restricted-modules package. But that
is in the future. Today, the official method does not involve Envy. And
again, with all due respect for your efforts, I've gotten fed up with
waiting for an Envy update and used the official installer in the past,
which is one reason why I wouldn't mess with it now. If it's not
up-to-the-minute then there is no point for me. And there is no particular
reason why, if someone is going to have to make a package update and
download a big fat package anyway, why it should not just be a deb like
everything else.

If Envy becomes the official means of supporting nVidia drivers in Ubuntu,
then I anticipate using it. Perhaps in intrepid. I do not intend this
comment to be an attack on Envy; there is no reason why it should not exist
and I imagine it suits the needs of many Ubuntu users. I am glad to see it
in the repo instead of users having to look elsewhere if they want that
functionality. Have a nice day!

I'd prefer to see progress being made in updating nvidia-glx-new to use
the latest, working drivers than advising on how to manually install
them.  I have a brand new hardy install on my XPS m1530, and I don't
want to sully it with a hacky video driver install if I can at all
help it!

We know the latest drivers work thanks to those who have taken the
plunge with a manual install, but when will this bug be assigned and
worked on?

This notice says that it hasn't found a pre-compiled kernel module, so
it's not a problem. Just select no to just skip the attempt to

If you could publish the relevant log output (run the nvidia installer with
the flag --ui=none to use the text-mode interface, it's much easier to copy
and paste something sane-looking) here it would be helpful.

2008-06-12 Thread Wubuntish
The log file states that you still have the xserver running. I'm
assuming it's from a previous try. If it's not, make sure you stopped
the /etc/init.d/gdm .

As for not able to compile the kernel modules:
- double check that you've installed build-essential.
- make sure you've installed your linux-header package variant.
- make sure you haven't installed the nvidia-kernel-common package or any 
variant of the nvidia-glx package.

It _should_ work after that. If it doesn't we'll really need the output
of the installer. You can run sudo sh NVIDIA-
Linux-x86_64-173.14.05-pkg2.run --ui=none  debug to write the terminal
output to a file called debug.

Just checked the nvidia driver manual. It states that you'll also need
the binutils package to compile the kernel module. It is not installed
by installing build-essential. The rest is installed by installing
build-essential. You'll need the following software versions:

binutils 2.9.5
GNU make 3.77
gcc 2.91.66
glibc 2.0

NVidia does not have the precompiled kernel modules (yet), so even if
you were able to connect, it would not make a difference. As for the
libc header files, make sure you installed the build-essential package.
(This package depends on libc-dev, which you need)

I had this problem as well on a GeForce 8600M GT.  Installing the beta
driver worked as indicated.  However 2D performance was horrible (Gmail
in firefox 3b5 was absolutely unusable).  I manually installed an older
driver (100.14.19) and saw a noticeable improvement over the beta in
both 2D and 3D.  100.14.19 was the *only* other driver I could get to
work with kernel 2.6.24-16-generic without the white screen problem.

I was able to fix this as well.

# Completely remove nvidia-glx-new

# Remove nvidia-kernel-common (this also removes linux-restricted-
modules), (I am not sure if step 2 is required)

# install build-essentials

# Download the Nvidia beta driver that came out on April 10. You can get
it here

# hit ctrl + alt + f1 to break out of gnome

# sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop to shutdown the X server

# sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.08-pkg1.run to install the driver. If it
asks you to update you're xorg.conf file, let it.

# Reboot. (sudo reboot) You should now be able to enable Desktop
effects.

[Bug 208718] Re: nvidia-glx-new driver displays white screen of death

2008-03-29 Thread lichtgestalt
I have the same problem.
Some more details:
When I attach an external display (Dell 1903FP) and press FN+F8 (to activate 
the VGA output) everything works fine on this screen. I tried a lot of things 
like twinview, clone, different resolutions and refresh rates. The Laptop 
display changes it's output but it's still garbage. Best description I can 
give: It looks like someone scanned a tissue in black and white. Sometimes just 
a small strip from the top to the bottom, sometimes it covers the hole screen, 
sometimes i just get random, mostly gray but sometimes orange (like the 
background) stripes. Weard and nothing like any bug I've seen before. My first 
idea was, that it might have something to do with the integrated webcam or 
fingerprint reader but I could confirm it.
The display also seems to report strange values when using nvidia (perhaps the 
core of the problem?) like a max resolution of 540x480 and a negative refresh 
rate, while it works fine with the external display or different drivers (vesa 
or nv). I tried overriding these values but since Xorg ignores xorg.conf I 
hadn't had much luck yet.

The system is a new (2Days) old Dell XPS M1530 with a NVidia GeForce  Go 8600M 
GT and WXGA TFT Widescreen (1280x800) TrueLife display.
I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 Beta for amd64 with all updates in place.
I tried the nvidia-glx-new package, envy, manual setup, displayconfig-gtk, 
nvidia-config, xorg.conf - no luck.

If I can provide you with any further details please post here.
