same problem ... but description for this bug - wrong linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20 (Ubuntu) - contain 2 kernel modules : nvidia.ko and nvidia_new.ko when you install nvidia-glx-new, nvidia_new.ko will be loaded.. kernel module successfully loaded when system is loading, but when X trying to start ... nvidia-glx Xorg driver can't find libwfb driver. nvidia drivers have 2 part: one for Kernel and one for Xorg Server. workaround: get file http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-9755.html, extract wfb lib. -- NVidia driver missing libwfb https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/98641 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 98641] Re: NVidia driver missing libwfb
zimgao, Thanks! You were correct, the nvidia driver was not getting loaded due to its name. I am compiling a custom kernel using the nvidia-new- kernel-source package along with the linux-source-2.6.20 package. It appears as you suggest that nvidia-glx-new causes the modprobe to look for nvidia_new.ko as the module. By changing the name of my compiled kernel module in /lib/modules/2.6.20.3-ubuntu1.070416/nvidia/nvidia.ko to /lib/modules/2.6.20.3-ubuntu1.070416/nvidia/nvidia_new.ko I am able to start X properly. I guess this should be a separate bug on the nvidia-new-kernel-source package. I will look for one when I get a chance and if it doesn't exist create one. -- NVidia driver missing libwfb https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/98641 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 98641] Re: NVidia driver missing libwfb
heckheck, >From your logs, nvidia kernel module failed at loading is not due to libwfb. If you have nvidia-glx-new installed, then "modprobe nvidia" will redirect to the nvidia_new module. Now, if you have a custom kernel, then nvidia-new-kernel-source will both give you nvidia module, not nvidia_new. To get around that, goto /lib/modules/2.6.20.3-ubuntu1-pentium4.3/nvidia/ and rename nvidia.ko to nvidia_new.ko.

[Bug 98641] Re: NVidia driver missing libwfb
Adding another note. I have found that for some reason, on my system, the missing wfb driver causes X to not start with my custom kernel and compiled nvidia-kernel-source module, while X will start with the generic 2.6.20-14 kernel and the nvidia module from the linux- restricted-modules package (though the Xorg.log file still complains that the wfb driver is not found). Something definitely changed with nvidia-glx-new and/or the linux- restricted-modules package that cause a compiled version of the nvidia 9755 driver compiled from nvidia-linux-source with a custom kernel to stop working. I can tell that it is probably not the kernel module source, since I still have a compiled kernel and module that _was_ working prior to my upgrade of these modules that no longer works. The real fix is obviously to get the wfb library included, but I wanted to point out that anyone who needs to build a custom kernel and has to use the nvidia-kernel-source package to build a module (e.g. typical Mythtv usage with LIRC support and NVIDIA card - very popular) will have a more serious problem than those using the generic kernel and the linux-restricted-module (which seems for the moment to work). I will attach the Xorg logs showing the generic kernel boot that works and the custom kernel boot that doesn't. -- NVidia driver missing libwfb https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/98641 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 98641] Re: NVidia driver missing libwfb
Just another note, I had had 9755 working on my system, with a custom built kernel, but lost it with a set of upgrades today. I was doing some cleanup and removed some old built kernels at the same time. Between that and changing from the nvidia-glx package to the nvidia-glx- new package, the needed file must have disappeared from my system. Can someone confirm exactly which package this driver is "supposed" to live in. Does it get built as part of the nvidia-new-kernel-source package if you are building the kernel and modules, or is it in the nvidia-glx-new package or some other package? I just spent a few hours combing through the packages from my cache that got removed and couldn't find it anywhere, but it must have been on my system, since I had that exact version of the driver (9755) running this morning. The workaround did not work for me, since I am on an AMD64 platform, and the pre-built driver from the NVIDIA website is a 32 bit version. -- NVidia driver missing libwfb https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/98641 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've got the exact same problem as described above. I installed the latest build from 5'th. Got a nvidia 8800 GTS 320Mb. Did just like the other fella above - extracted the drivers package from nvidia and linked it in. Now i works flawless..

For now, this worked for me: Download the nVidia drivers from here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-9755.html Extract the drivers with the -x switch: sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg1.run -x Copy the module somewhere (hopefully to be removed when they start including it in the package). I used my home directory: cp NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg1/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libnvidia-wfb.so.1.0.9755 ~/ Now create a link to it from /usr/lib/xorg/modules/: sudo ln /home/aaroncampbell/libnvidia-wfb.so.1.0.9755 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so That should do it. I also chown'd it to root:root, and chmod'd it to match all the other stuff in that directory. Hope this helps someone. Once I did that, everything started to work fine.
