Further note: if you've installed the nvidia driver from their website, you need to uninstall it via their installer first, then reinstall the ubuntu packaged version in order for glx to work. ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Fix Released -- proprietary nvidia driver does not work under karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/469470 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 469470] Re: proprietary nvidia driver does not work under karmic
I started experiencing something similar today after enabling Karmic proposed repositories and performing an upgrade. The upgrade pulled in updates for xserver. The updates seem to be related to the failsafe server. Reverting to the Karmic released versions of the xserver packages resolves the problem for me. I run Kubuntu and use kdm for my login manager. I also have Ubuntu desktop installed and sometimes use the gnome desktop but not gdm. However, gdm is installed. It almost looks like the failsafe server is attempting to startup and creating a conflict with kdm. If I cancel the low resolution mode dialog quickly enough, kdm is able to startup and everything is ok. I've attached my kdm log which shows the conflict with accessing the display. ** Attachment added: kdm.log http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36209046/kdm.log -- proprietary nvidia driver does not work under karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/469470 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

I haven't yet tried going through this involved procedure (which, of course, shouldn't be necessary) to install the latest one directly from NVidia: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3107406.0 So sorry to hear you haven't solved the issue. My Karmic install(fresh) still randomly will start in low graphics mode but can get to Xwindows using startx or sometimes just waiting before logging in; a real PITA and nuisance that I live with. It seems almost that the driver is not loaded on a timely basis. Just a wild ass guess but I wonder if adding a modprobe command for the module in question into rc.local might help. Wouldn't hurt to try it as it is easily removed from the cli. Sad, but Karmic still has a few bugs to be solved. Another thing I did was to remove all nvidia drivers except the *.185 but don't really know if that had any effect. JFYI, I only have these installed: i A nvidia-185-kernel-source i A nvidia-185-libvdpau i nvidia-185-modaliases i nvidia-glx-185 i A nvidia-settings i xserver-xorg-video-nv The first time I was able to boot up without the low graphics message, AIR, I got the message from nvidia-settings to run nvidia-xconfig(which I thought had been discredited and removed) and running it worked on the next boot. I had also rmed xserver-xorg-video-nv because I kept getting messages suggesting the nv driver was being used. I later put it back due to comments from NoOp. Just relating my comments which probably wont help. My card worked flawlessly on all versions of Ubuntu(GeForce 9400GT) up and until the last kernel upgrade which included upgrades of the nvidia drivers also. Sorry I couldn't be of any more help but sometimes you just have to do trial and error on the new releases and file bug reports. So, good luck with your efforts.

[Bug 469470] Re: proprietary nvidia driver does not work under karmic
Have the same exact symptoms except on a Karmic x86_64 OS. The problem started a few days ago at the same time the 2.6.31-15 generic kernel upgrade came up which also included Nvidia driver upgrades. I'm not sure but I think there was a nvidia-glx-185 kernel of earlier version and if so, it worked. I have a Karmic Ubuntu install running kubuntu-desktop and up until now my nvidia GeForce 9400GT 512 MB DDR2 card and LG 22 Flatron Wide monitor has worked perfectly with the proprietary drivers. When the X issue first came up it initially was a low resolution issue and mostly, not 100% of time, I would just go to console and start to log in when the kdm login screen would suddenly popup. I could log in and everything was fine. Then, I purged and reinstalled all nvidia apps which sometimes caused kdm to start, but later didn't. This progressed purging and reinstalling the 2.6.31-15 generic kernel and all nvidia apps that were installed by default. On occasion, this process would allow kdm to run and was able to log in without issues. Kde ran fine. But it wont stay fixed and the last few times I did this the original message stated above comes up. I suspect Hal and KDMS, whatever they are, are also envolved as they show up in the logs, but I haven't a clue how to trouble shoot except to reinstall Hal which didn't help. I urge you not to let this bug expire as it will force me to revert to Jaunty or an earlier nvidia driver.

[Bug 469470] Re: proprietary nvidia driver does not work under karmic
Hi Kai-Simon, The Xorg.0.log*s attached here are just showing the -nv booting session, which sounds like not what you're interested in. What we need are logs from an attempt to boot with nvidia installed. We'll need both the corresponding Xorg.0.log for that session (which may be called Xorg.0.log.old) and the gdm log file (found in /var/log/gdm/). One or the other of those should indicate why it is not loading nvidia. My guess is that you need to have the BusID specified for -nvidia, although if you're doing reinstalls of the driver it *should* do that for you. ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- proprietary nvidia driver does not work under karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/469470 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 469470] Re: proprietary nvidia driver does not work under karmic
Could you please find and attach your build log that shows this issue? The file will be found someplace like: /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/185.18.36/build/make.log The numbered directory may be different depending on what version you have installed, but if you poke around it should be somewhere like that. -- proprietary nvidia driver does not work under karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/469470 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
