[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 813343] Re: nvidia drivers, second monitor covered by black
I use a Dell Vostro 1500 with a GeForce 8600M GT. I used to have lucid with gnome2 (of course) with a seperate x-server setting for my external tft. everything worked like a charme. Then i switched to an SSD and did a oneiric reinstall. When installing any oneiric nvidiadriver and setting up the seperate xserver setting i get the same issue with black (or white when i click around) screen on the external tft. Mouse apears as the low-graphic X, nothing of unity is shown, nothing is clickable. Twinview works, BUT like #66 its ugly slow. compiz and Xorg are using 10%cpu each, scrolling in chromium gets laggy, shoving programs between ext. and laptop screen laggs and switching to fullscreen takes several seconds. It is like using an old pentium 2 :/ this is the bug with the seperate xscreen. its unity related like this one. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-settings/+bug/882143 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/813343 Title: nvidia drivers, second monitor covered by black To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/813343/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Hey clint-fewbar, Hi, thanks for reporting this issue during the development period of Ubuntu. I notice there's not been further comments to the bug report since the release came out, would you mind updating us on the status of it in the release? Are you still able to reproduce the issue?

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 813343] Re: nvidia drivers, second monitor covered by black
I just want to chime in here and say that there is something seriously wrong with Ocelot and Compiz and Unity and nVidia. In fact, this issue is one reason why I haven't upgraded one of my machines. I did upgrade my work machine, and I had similar issues as above. I managed to finagle the settings enough to get it useable, but I am seeing progressively higher CPU usage by compiz. This did not occur on the same machine with natty. For example, upon a clean boot, comiz may use 3% cpu; by the evening compiz will b e using 10-15%. The next morning compiz will be using 20-25%. If I leave for the weekend and return, compiz will be using 70% cpu. This may not be the same bug as mentioned above, but I haven't found anywhere else to discuss the issue. And I post it here because I have been following this thread as my own problems started with these kind of issues. If anyone could tell me a way to help with the debugging, I would love to contribute. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/813343 Title: nvidia drivers, second monitor covered by black To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/813343/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Hello , Thank you very much for replying to me :) Indeed my first post did not include too many details. I have a Dell E6520 laptop, and i use 1 x HDMI and 1 x DisplayPort output through a Dell Port Replicator. It was working perfectly before the Ubuntu upgrade.

Nvidia-settings freezes when i try to configure second monitor in TwinView. The nvidia driver i use is installed through Additional Drivers. I tested both available drivers, current and post-release updates and both behave the same.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 813343] Re: nvidia drivers, second monitor covered by black
Hi Radu, thanks for sending the information. As far as I can see there is only one thing that i don't understand in the xorg.log, when you try to add the second monitor.: [ 310.430] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode DFP-0:NULL,DFP-1:1920x1080@1920x1080+0+0 mine looks like this when attaching a display: [ 37938.491] (II) NVIDIA(0): DFP-0:1680x1050@1680x1050+1920+0,DFP-1:1920x1080@1920x1080+0+0 As you can see, your DFP-0 is not configured. All other things seem to be configured correct and all packages are up to date. What I would suggest (not necessarily in this order) 1. Get rid of ALL old nvida related packages and reinstall them: Boot into save mode. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-settings/+bug/840462 (there #13) Delete ~/.nvidia-settings-rc and ~/.config/monitors.xml (#45) Reboot in save mode and reinstall nvidia-current and -settings. 2. You could you probably try the autoconfiguring tool Disper for nvidia cards ( https://launchpad.net/disper ) to get twinview working. On xfce you must enable an indicator message docklet to see the applet. But you can also use it from the command line (disper --help / man disper). On unity you have to add Disper to the list of allowed applets (dconf- editor-desktop-unity-panel). Here is the package: https://launchpad.net/~disper-dev/+archive/ppa/+files/disper_0.3.0_all.deb (you can savely uninstall it afterwards) Good luck -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/813343 Title: nvidia drivers, second monitor covered by black To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/813343/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

DFP-1 and DFP-2 are external This is a problem, because as far as I know Twin-view (as the name implies) is for dualmonitor-view only! What you need is xinerama and this is a complete different thing - and would be another bug report as well. This bug handles the case, where people try to extend their primary monitor (DFP-0) with a second one. Disper - the tool I suggested - also has no support for more than two monitors!

Hi Axel, This is not completely true. In Natty, it was possible to activate twinview on 2 external monitors if DFP-0 is disabled. This was done via nvidia-settings.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 813343] Re: nvidia drivers, second monitor covered by black
FWIW, after today's updates, I managed to get twinview (partially) working. Previously, whenever I enabled twinview, Unity just plain crashed, and literally all I was left with was my desktop wallpaper. I had to save Nvidia's settings to xorg.conf in order to get dual monitors, but even then I was having the tray-clicking issues described in #36. Right now, I can enable twinview (it definitely still is a little finicky - you HAVE to select you this as my main screen on one of the screens, and it doesn't always work the first time) without Unity crashing, and it seems to work perfectly after that. However, the settings don't get saved; so if you restart your machine you'll start with a single screen and have to reconfigure them. This doesn't bother me too terribly as this machine will hardly get rebooted, but I'm sure its still a deal-breaker for many.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 813343] Re: nvidia drivers, second monitor covered by black
I'm having the same symptom as that of Michael, #34. Also a Quadro card. I cannot get Twinview to work since I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10. My computer is a Dell Optiplex 960, with a Dell-supplied nVidia Quadro NVS 420 card, connected via DVI to two Dell 2009W monitors. Until Monday, I was successfully using my two monitors in twinview mode, using the nVidia restricted driver, and Ubuntu 10.04. On Monday, I performed a step-wise upgrade to 11.10. Since that time, I have not been able to get dual monitors to work. A single monitor setup with the nvidia driver works fine. When I use nvidia-settings to enable the second monitor, and then reboot, the second monitor initially flashes the normal ubuntu desktop color, and then immediately goes to a grayish- white screen. If I move the mouse pointer to the second monitor, the pointer changes from an arrow to the old X-windows X pointer. If I right-click the screen of the second monitor, it will change to the normal color. But doing anything else causes it to go white again. Also in this mode, Unity running on the primary screen behaves oddly. For example, files sitting on the desktop cannot be moved with the mouse. Another notable point is that when I use nvidia-settings to enable the secondary monitor, the Twinview choice is shaded and not available. I tried purging all nvidia files with apt-get and removing xorg.conf to start over, and then installed nvidia-current from PPA, but it did not help. I am running 64-bit Oneiric, and the nvidia driver is 285.05.09. For now, I am using a single monitor, hoping that this is a bug that can be fixed soon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/813343 Title: nvidia drivers, second monitor covered by black To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/813343/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 813343] Re: nvidia drivers, second monitor covered by black
HI Axel, I know you are using a minimal xorg but I am not understanding what is the point when we are trying to get twinview working with unity. I have no issues when running with one screen, expo works, indicators work, themes work. As soon as I apply my Natty working xorg the entire desktop breaks, hence why I mention those other bugs. They might be separate bugs but they are all related to the general corruption of the unity desktop when twinview is turned on. I had none of these issues in Natty except one, I have attached a screenshot of that below. The one that says could not apply the stored config for monitors. That occurs at boot and remains until I click close. Then I am left with the broken desktop as described before and the other attachment shows the missing themes. If I log out lightdm also has missing theme yes in a similar way. There is no packages called unity-desktop, do you perhaps mean ubuntu- desktop? And yes that is installed by default and I have checked it it there. No PPA's were used in former times, this is a default install from scratch and I have tried installing it twice and checking my image consistency. No other managers were ever used. I have opened another bug for expo issue (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/854556). Thats been logged for over a month now and it's only barely been touched and marked as confirmed, not assigned. From all the issues I see, as soon as I turn on twinview, I suspect that as soon as the main issue with twinview is fixed all the other will fall in place. What still concerns me is the lack of action being done on this bug, it's still being marked as invalid for unity but confirmed for nvidia yet not assigned. We have already proven that nvidia-settings works 100% in XFCE and I have just tried installing it and it worked fine for me too. I also don't get any errors during login. Ofcourse i can't test expo but still, no errors and a working dual desktop by using nvidai settings and not my xorg.conf (which also works BTW) Due to all of these things as far as I am concerned this is a unity issue and I would really like to see some Canonical developer input on this issue urgently. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/813343 Title: nvidia drivers, second monitor covered by black To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/813343/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Hi psypher, as said in #30 I don't write to the xorg-file wiht nvidia settings (what one might do), only use a minimal. In very very old days, some monitors need to have appropriate modelines: see https://wiki.blue-it.org/Xserver_Issues#Modline_generator @#35: Did you install the package unity-desktop.

Hi Axel, I tried all of that but still to no avail.

Made no difference. Any response from Jay as this is still marked as invalid and we have proved this is not a nvidia issues but a unity issue?

nvidia-common 1:0.2.35 nvidia-current 280.13-0ubuntu3 nvidia-settings280.13-0ubuntu2 xorg 1:7.6+7ubuntu7 unity 4.16.0-0ubuntu2 unity-2d 4.8.0-0ubuntu unity-common 4.16.0-0ubuntu2 Note: nvidia-settings was gone/not working for some reasons. So I had to reinstall it (apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-settings). As of the last update, I can confirm that the problems are gone. Nvidia-Settings is working under unity (3D) again. I cannot say, if this is due to updates to unity (which occured some days ago) or xorg,. But due to real performance issues (xorg takes a lot of cpu) I work with unity2d which is very fast and needs much more less graphics power than unity(3d).

Ditto - everything worked fine under 11.04 with gnome-session, upgraded to Oneiric, now cannot enable twinview in Unity without things breaking.

I used Reset from XServer Display Configuration in Nvidia Settings.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 813343] Re: nvidia drivers, second monitor covered by black
I have tested with a macbook pro (Nvidia 9600 inside). I can setup a TwinView between my macbook screen and a 1600x1200 monitor. Unity works fine, but twinView takes some times to configure. It sometimes refuse to set a configuration that I know to be working... I recommend trying again with the latest pre-release of Oneiric and report the findings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/813343 Title: nvidia drivers, second monitor covered by black To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/813343/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I will mark this as invalid, as I suspect a bug in Nvidia TwinView.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 813343] Re: nvidia drivers, second monitor covered by black
Hi Jay, 1. For more information: did you read this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-settings/+bug/840462 ? 2. Did you read #12 ? Could you be a little bit more declarative why you changed this to invalid and suspect this is a bug in Nvidia-Twinview, why not Compiz or Compiz/Unity 3D? Like I wrote more than once Twinview works flawlessly in all other deskop-environments than Unity 3d (Gnome-Shell, Unity 2d, XFCE) - I am currently using it under XFCE. Problems I had with Gnome-Shell are not with Twinview, but compiz / general performance. So please until you do not file a bug in another context or really give us some concrete arguments please leave this bug open. This is the place where people will look for the concrete problem! Changing it to invalid is not a good choice, cluttering things up in more bug reports - that's my oppinion.

I fully agree with Axel. I have exactly the same problems and I think this is really unity/compiz related.

Excerpts from Jay Taoko's message of Wed Sep 14 15:52:12 UTC 2011: I will mark this as invalid, as I suspect a bug in Nvidia TwinView. Re- open if there are more information to suggest otherwise. I did actually have a more positive experience when disabling the second monitor today with all updates applied. I was in a hurry and not able to re-enable the second monitor, but will do so tonight when I return home. Still not sure if your experience alone is enough to change from Confirmed - Invalid, since you were never affected AFAIK. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/813343 Title: nvidia drivers, second monitor covered by black To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/813343/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
