[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 477309] Re: When trying to save new X configuration, I get an error message: Failed to parse existing x config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'

2012-02-12 Thread Nick Moore
Can confirm same problem in 11.10 Ocelot ... on a very minimalist
install, nvidia-settings complains to stderr when trying to save
xorg.conf:

sh: pkg-config: not found
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File /usr/share/screen-resolution-extra/nvidia-polkit.py, line 20, in 
module
import gtk, gobject, sys, dbus, logging, os, re
ImportError: No module named gtk

ERROR: Unable to open X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' for
writing.

installing 'pkg-config' and 'python-gtk2' fixes the problem.  It
probably should also be dependent on 'nvidia-current' or something.

The solution proposed by Luiz Carlos works fine (kubuntu lucid).
The nvidia-settings's maintainer should add a dependancy to fix this bug.

Summary :

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
sudo aptitude install python-gtk2
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo nvidia-xconfig
sudo nvidia-settings

Cheers,
mando

2010-05-08 Thread Luiz Carlos Geron
I'm running kubuntu 10.04 and had the same problem. First, it would fail
to parse the xorg.conf file, so i removed it and ran nvidia-xconfig. It
warned me that pkg-config was not found, so I installed it and ran
nvidia-xconfig again. Now nvidia-settings kept saying Unable to open X
config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' for writing., so I ran it from konsole
and noticed this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File /usr/share/screen-resolution-extra/nvidia-polkit.py, line 20, in 
module
import gtk, gobject, sys, dbus, logging, os, re
ImportError: No module named gtk

ERROR: Unable to open X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' for writing.

So I installed the package python-gtk2 and ran nvidia-settings again. It
worked perfectly.

It is not correct, of course I know that I have to run as root, 
otherwise the program cannot write xorg.conf. I did however find a 
solution. Its not nvidia-settings, but rather the xorg.conf shipped with 
karmic. I had to delete and regenerate xorg.conf. Afterwards it worked fine.

Hugo,
How did you delete and regenerate xorg.conf?  Did you just delete and relaunch 
Nvidia Xserver settings?  I get an error when trying to delete xorg.conf.  Says 
I don't have permission.  I'm guessing its because I'm running the driver while 
trying to delete it? 

My linux knowledge is measured in hours, but I'm trying to learn
quickly.

Thanks,
