[Bug 297543] Re: Update Package: nVidia 180.06
@Vadim Peretokin: The simple fact that the drivers are available doesn't force you to install them, see my earlier comments. The point is: you have a choice of installing them or not AND if something goes wrong you can roll back cleanly. Freedom of choice. Frankly, I wouldn't have such a big problem installing them using the nvidia installer if there weren't those reports about breaking the system if you do so. I'm running Ubuntu on a production machine so I need it to have high availability and be usable. Maybe this is making me overly cautious in installing using the nvidia installer and so I would like to have the option of installing using a package (cleaner, IMHO) especially since the Recommended driver (177) had serious issues with OpenOffice (heavy screen corruption -- Really?! On a production machine running a stable version?! I'm not running a development version, BTW). I'm already sorry I upgraded to Intrepid: upgrade broke the system so I had to do a clean install only to find out that the office suite I need to use every day has the side effect of causing screen corruption in some way. This is why I'm saying that I think Canonical needs to do a far better job in terms of hardware support and not simply rely on the community especially because bug #1 is a target for the company. The fact that ther target seems to be to provide the same level of usability as Windows makes me run Ubuntu and not OpenSuse on my work machine. Maybe this seems like a rant to you -- it's not meant to be. It's simply some stuff that's been on my mind lately. I think it's not just me that feels the same way and I think we need to voice our opinions if we want resolution.

I was merely commenting on the fact that you can always make a decision either way: get 180 out there immediately or after a bit of testing. As 180.11 proves you can make a case for both. In this case I think the best thing to do was give the nv packagers a bit more time to fix a few annoying (not critical) bugs. -- Update Package: nVidia 180.06 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297543 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

180.06 ("Enabled the X Render "GlyphCache" by default.")
Shock: I have packaged the new release (I was affected by the font
corruption bug too) and I have just asked a core developer to upload it

[Bug 297543] Re: Update Package: nVidia 180.06
For what it is worth, I agree with the caution of the packagers in this case. The driver is tagged beta for a reason. Yes, it's true that most of my Kubuntu Intrepid issues went away with the upgrade to nvidia driver version 180.06. No, that was not the end of it. As documented on the Nvidia forum, I'm still required to run this after every restart of X, including after every suspend/hibernate/reboot: nvidia-settings -a GlyphCache=0 -a InitialPixmapPlacement=0 I also agree with Xavier and all since we can at least see "something" on our screens in stead of being dumped to a command line prompt without network support since that's apparently another stupid change in Intrepid. -- Update Package: nVidia 180.06 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297543 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

Per this thread http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=124059 nvidia driver version 180.11 (beta) was released. Release Highlights: * Added support for the following new GPUs: o GeForce 9400M * Fixed font corruption on GeForce 6 and 7 series GPUs when the GlyphCache setting is enabled. * Fixed a memory leak problem when the GlyphCache setting is enabled. * Added support for GVO full-range color. * Fixed a problem parsing the monitor sync range X config file options. * Improved VDPAU error detection and reporting. * Improved VDPAU support for some video bitstreams. The 180.11 NVIDIA Accelerated Linux Graphics Driver Set for Linux/x86 is available for download via FTP. The 180.11 NVIDIA Accelerated Linux Graphics Driver Set for Linux/x86-64 is available for download via FTP. Please see the README (x86, x86-64) for more information about this release. It seems to fix the font corruption issue I was mentioning earlier. Until we get the 180.11 driver in the repos (if we get it) there a couple of alternative fixes for the font corruption issue: 1) set GlyphCache to 0: nvidia-settings -a GlyphCache=0 Some reports indicate that in some cases the InitialPixmapPlacement needs to be also set to 0 to get rid of the text corruption. YMMV 2) disable sub-pixel hinting in the anti-aliasing settings. - This info is provided AS IS and I make absolutely NO WARRANTIES whether express or implied.

Launchpad search returns no matches: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+search?text=nvidia-glx-180 I completely understand that the packages are in universe, but in the grand scheme of things Canonical is doing a very poor job especially in light of bug #1. Weeks have passed since the driver has been released by Nvidia and it's still not available in Ubuntu. I consider good hardware support the bare _minimum_ for us to stand a chance of resolving bug #1. Please let me assure you, Alberto, that in no way I consider you responsible for any of this -- In fact I have nothing but praise for your work so far. Instead I think Canonical needs to find better ways than relying on the community for basic hardware support such as video.

[Bug 297543] Re: Update Package: nVidia 180.06
I have to agree that providing 180.06 to Intrepid is crucial. If it was indeed the case that only KDE 4.2 is to be used Kubuntu should have sticked with KDE 3.5. As it is the case, my desktop is unusable as well because of the 173/177 window corruptions. >From http://forum.kde.org/showthread.php?tid=16805&pid=21177 : "Symptons include: not being able to browse with Firefox 3.0.4 for more than 2 minutes without a (silent) crash, garbled icons in kwin, kwin itself completely freaking out with garbage all over the place, garbage in the back-drop of menu-items right before they appear, garbage in the ALT-F2 execute window, a screen full of garbage when you want to shut down or suspend your machine (except for a small readable window), VMWare player losing the border when the image keeps running, etc" The only advice to fix it so far has been an update of the nvidia driver to 180.06.

Summing up, 173 and 177 don't work with Compiz, so there's no official way to enable the desktop effects on Intrepid if you own an Nvidia card. Now they have released a new driver which happens to be labeled as beta, but it fixes all major bugs that we're complaining about. Just add 180 to the driver list and leave 177 the recommended one. Once 180 goes final, recommend this release in the list. If possible, this should be done ASAP for the reasons mentioned above.

The previous one does not. There are already 2 Nvidia drivers--177 and 173 (I think). 177 should remain labeled "recommended", and 180 could be labeled "Beta".

Well ok maybe...but without this driver kde4 is not usable.
plasmoid just freeze if you have a geforce 8600.
The end user does not care if it is a beta or not.
The end user says "ho look kde4.1 is crap. I cannot use it on my box. It
is so unstable :(".
I'm not such an end user but I can understand this.
I have never see a bug in this new beta driver.
It does the job. The previous one does not.

Although 177.x is working here fine, it would really be nice if there would be possibility to upgrade to 180.x, because it has some major features.

Same for me :) All the bugs using kde4 are gone. I'm going to test a .deb package of 180.06 as soon as it is available for Intrepid.

I hope that there is a plan to propose this new driver (180 and the upcoming stable branch derived from 180) in intrepid. 177.82 is better but not sufficient to restore a good user experience of kwin (at least on my box (geforce 8 series)) -- Update Package: nVidia 180.06 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297543 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
