[Bug 370249] Re: No Nvidia direct rendering unless root user (vmware)
This bug report was filed against an old version of Ubuntu. Can you confirm whether this is still an issue in natty? If you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you could update the bug report in launchpad to 'Fix Released' if it is no longer an issue for you, or if it is still occurring under natty, please tag the bug 'natty' so it's easier for us to track. ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => New ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370249 Title: No Nvidia direct rendering unless root user (vmware) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Somehow my /dev/nvidiactl (190.42 driver) in karmic has the group www- data. So I added myself to this group and everything seems to work fine.

I've posted a new version of the -nvidia driver to our xorg-edgers PPA, would you mind testing it either on Jaunty or Karmic and see if it resolves this bug?
