[Bug 529282] Re: gnome-display-properties does not work if you install nvidia-current
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You have a lot of useful information on your bug report however it is still missing some key points. I would like to confirm that your bug exists but I don't have enough information. Unfortunately, we can't fix it because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read How to report bugs effectively http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem. We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures. At a minimum, we need: 1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,(Please be exact as possible this is so we can confirm your bug.) 2. the behavior you expected, and 3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible). Thanks! When reporting bugs in the future please use apport, either via the appropriate application's Help - Report a Problem menu or using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs. ** Changed in: gnome-media (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- gnome-display-properties does not work if you install nvidia-current https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/529282 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 529282] Re: gnome-display-properties does not work if you install nvidia-current
(1) To reproduce this: Set up: * Install nvidia-current (I used Synaptic). * Ensure that /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist (delete it if necessary). * Reboot and login in. At this boot you should be using the nouveau driver because xorg.conf is not specifying nvidia. Confirm that the nvidia module is loaded with: lsmod | grep nvidia Reproduction of problem: * Run gnome-display-properties, either from the command line, or via the System / Prefs / Display menu option. (2) What should happen: gnome-display-properties should display its standard window and allow you to change screen resolution, etc, as it does after a fresh installation. (3) What actually happens: gnome-display-properties says: It appears your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead? No / Yes. This is the message it normally displays when you *are* running the nvidia module. Note that it tells the truth - if you select 'No' and continue to use gnome-display-properties, it does not detect monitors or change screen resolution. However, if you select 'Yes' and have it run nvidia-settings, nvidia- settings says you aren't using the nvidia module and it can't do anything either. -- gnome-display-properties does not work if you install nvidia-current https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/529282 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
