[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 948053] Re: nvidia-173 and nvidia-96 uninstallable on Precise

2014-01-30 Thread piccobello
My experience in a nutshell (using Kubuntu):
- I have an old machine with a GeForce FX 5200, which was working great with 
natty and the proprietary nvidia-173 driver, manually installed
- I don't care about 3D and effects, but watching movies with nouveau I had 
some annoying flickering horizontal lines 
- after upgrading to precise I restored nouveau as the proprietary driver 
compalined about a missing file in /lib
- installing nvidia-173 (173.14.39-0ubuntu0.0.1) using Applications - System 
- Additional Drivers (Jockey) solved the issue for me.

In short, you can use GeForce FX 5200 with nvidia-173 in Kubuntu Precise

Thanks to all that contributed!

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 948053] Re: nvidia-173 and nvidia-96 uninstallable on Precise

2013-02-07 Thread Nixblicker
Hello,

does anyone know whether it is safe for now (and the future) to update 
xserver-xorg and its dependencies to the newest versions without breaking 
compatibility with the nvidia-96 branch of gfx drivers? 
I am so happy that I was able to make my old NV18 gpu running on a fresh 
install of LTS 12.04 Lubuntu after I experienced mysterious graphical glitches 
and severe system slowdowns with nouveau driver modules when I gave Lubuntu 
12.10 a try. 

It took me hours and hours of troubleshooting to find out, that the lack of 
support for legacy nvidia gpus was causing the hassle in the first place. 
And now I am afraid of breaking the running system again with an update of the 
xserver, that is, if i got it right, on the brink to be updated to a new (and 
yet unsupported?!) ABI version.

What would you experts suggest? Fix a certain xserver version?

Thank you very much, especially those who helped to make nvidia-96
drivers working in 12.x releases!

hi Nixblicker

easy to answer:

producer-info: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-
ia32-96.43.23-driver.html

Has NO support for XOrg-Server ABI 1.13 (which is the latest (lts-
quantal)).

Read also comment #155 in this bugreport

 What would you experts suggest?

This is not a help Forum - it's for bugreporting. It's focusized on
bugreporting and fixing.

Join in the discussion on the Nvidia-support forums.

I'm not an expert... :-) But it's time to make  some thoughts about
getting newer HW, i.e. The Nvidia 6200 (new or used),  which fits in a
AGP-slot is supported by the legacy driver 304. There is also a GT610
for the PCI-slot - but is worth to invest money in a energy consuming
oldie?

Or stick with 12.04 LTS with 5 Years of support - enjoy the bug- and
security fixes – +save some money over the time - take it when the LTS
support ends and build yourself a newer system. Carefully selecting the
components as the mobo. Which preferably has a multicore CPU to fit in 
make a 64-bit version installable... AND a PCI-e slot for the graphics-
card. So you could make some use of VDPAU or even CUDA (if needed). If u
have some $$$ left, add a SSD ;_)

Every hardware has it's breakpoint (in terms of EOL of producers-
support). AND YES it's great to have this supported in 12.04.2 – Thanks
to the dev's!

Glad to see that Ubuntu is innovative.

@ Johannes Martin
Hi Johannes, I tried your tip, not forgetting to chmod +x
It didn't worked neither for suspend nor hibernate, but at least I can see 
briefly on resume/thaw the console login screen.
pm-suspend.log doesn't seem to report any error when the wake-up fails.
When disabling your script (chmod -x), closing X session then issuing 
pm-suspend or pm-hibernate from console, both work fine (although no password 
is asked at wake-up, I get the console session opened), but switching 
Ctrl+Alt+F7 brings back to black screen, reverting to console impossible and 
Alt+PrtScn+K ineffective. Sometimes Alt+PrtScn+B reboots the laptop, sometimes 
not.
I wouldn't like to pollute more this thread. Should I post a new bug? And for 
which package pm/kelnel/xorg/video?
Thank you

Regarding suspend/hibernate issues: I have had this problem on various systems. 
It usually helps to switch to text mode (vt1) before suspend and back to 
graphics (vt7) after suspend. This can be automated using a script in 
/etc/pm/sleep.d:
/etc/pm/sleep.d$ cat 00-chvt

2013-01-04 Thread Mark Lila
I just checked suspend/hibernate and they are both broken.  I'm not sure
if suspend/hibernate would work with Nouveau or any other driver on this
Dell Inspiron 8500 better than with the latest nvidia-96.  I haven't
used these features much so unfortunately I can't contribute further.

Updated my kernel today:

3.2.0-36-generic-pae #56-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 2 22:09:45 UTC 2013 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux

and it was very nice not to have to run NVIDIA-
Linux-x86-96.43.23-pkg1.run on reboot.  Simply installed the kernel
update, rebooted and 96.43.23-0ubuntu0.1 activated  worked w/o issues.
I'd tag this as fixed.

Hello Jean-Baptiste, or anyone else affected,

Accepted nvidia-graphics-drivers-96 into precise-proposed. The package
will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source

in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See

enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

@Dave: thanks. Upstream (Debian) have as well:
https://launchpad.net/debian/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-96xx
 Published on 2012-09-19 === Sept 19 - two days after the 'Certified' 
nvidia release.

nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-96xx (96.43.23-2) unstable; urgency=low
https://launchpad.net/debian/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-96xx/96.43.23-2

Currently I'm installing from the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.23-pkg1.run,
but it's a PITA rebuilding it every time a new proposed kernel comes
out. I've not tried the Debian version (yet).

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 948053] Re: nvidia-173 and nvidia-96 uninstallable on Precise

2012-10-04 Thread giardia
probably there is also a bug in the NVIDIA driver 96.43.23 installer,
everytime I run NVIDIA driver script to compile the driver to
upgrade/redo (xorg changes or whatever) , it deletes my installed
libvdpau.so.1  I have to uninstall and reinstall libvdpau1 package
through apt-get command. It's quite annoying when I want to use mplayer
and gmplayer because of this error:

$ mplayer
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libvdpau.so.1: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory

my /var/log/nvidia-installer.log. It shows:
$ cat nvidia-installer.log |grep libvdpau
- Unable to restore symbolic link /usr/lib/libvdpau.so.1 - libvdpau.so.1.0.0
- Unable to restore symbolic link /usr/lib/vdpau/libvdpau_trace.so.1 -
libvdpau_trace.so.1.0.0 (File exists).

can somebody file a bug?

maybe affect also other nvidia installers, as i read on the net that the
code to delete conflicting libvdpau files was added to recent versions
of the installer where the package replaces it with its own. That
shouldn't have been backported to the legacy driver series, since it
doesn't install one.

@giardia: Interesting... I had not noticed because I hadn't run mplayer
since the previous install of 96.43.23. So my log doesn't show the

vdpau is only ment for newer graphics cards. It was not even invented,
when these cards were produced.

Reinstalled 96.43.23  got DRI (and GL vertex buffer object) back.

I realize what vdpau is used for. However:

$ apt-cache depends mplayer | grep libvdpau

@giardia: libvdpau1 error now appears on the 96.43.23 that I did. This is due 
to reinstalling libvdpau1 before the reintall:

i hope nvidia96 will be available in ubuntu's repo, everythime they
release a new kernel (that is happening more often nowadays) i have to
install again the driver; also i receive updates about xorg recently,
when i restart, the pc was in a loop at login, so i restart in safe
mode, and to solve i removed and installed again the nvidia.run, it said
the driver was corrupted by a recent installation and give the error
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so is not a symbolic link. but i
was able to reinstall and now it work again as before.

2012-09-24 Thread David Ellis
NVIDIA's 96.43.23 (32 bit) works for me on an ASUS 8170 GeForce4 MX 440.

My only issue was The distribution-provided pre-install script failed!
but I accepted the default option Yes to continue installing anyway.
Because I have a display with a rather odd display resolution I had to
edit xorg.conf to get it included. I still have the old (dead)
96.43.20, the 173 and current in the package list from x-swat but
presumably they will updated in time and I shall clean up everything
then.

who tried the new nvidia96 drivers? im using the new release and i have a 
little more higher FPS (363 FPS against 235 of nouveau) maybe a faster 
performance but some visualization problems in firefox, for example in ubuntu 
forum pages  and youtube search field is bit flickering; also in Totem, when i 
play mp3, the visual effects are shown with a line cutting the field from top 
right to bottom left. im using nvidia geforce2 mx400
also im using gnome-classic (no effect), because with effect, the frames of the 
windows arn't visible (with nouveau was working fine)

just another question: if i want to uninstall package libgl1-mesa-dri
(it give 3D support for nouveau), it ask me to remove also xorg and
ubuntu-desktop; should i leave installed, or should i remove from non-
graphic mode and then reinstall xorg and ubuntu-desktop?

ps: about my comment #121 i managed to set the best resolution for my
monitor adding a metamode in nvidia-settings

installed the new nvidia driver release.

it works...but with my nvidia geforce2 mx400 and a monitor acer X193HQL, by 
default it choose the resolution of 1280x800 but is not a pleasure for the 
eyes...the best resolution for the acer should be 1366x768, but, when i choose 
the 1360x768 resolution in nvidia xserver settings, the desktop is not full in 
the monitor, the right part is missing. so i have to choose a way in the middle 
(1280x800). is it a problem with the driver or with the Xconfig?

Is there a plan for resolving the issue with nvidia-96 or is nVidia
unlikely to provide the same update for those cards? I have a GeForce MX
4000 that worked fine in 11.10 but now doesn't, and the 173 drivers
don't work with it. I know it's an old card, but sourcing AGP cards is
getting hard! I'd rather keep this computer working as long as I can,
even if that means dropping down to 11.10. Could there be an official
backport path of some sort for getting a still-compatible version of
Xorg installed on 12.04 if the driver is unlikely to be updated?

Ditching a motherboard  GPU for a new release of X doesn't seem like a
stellar solution to the problem.

The not so good news is that you still can't get 3D with Unity:
$ /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p
OpenGL vendor string:   NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: Quadro4 900 XGL/AGP/SSE2
OpenGL version string:  1.5.8 NVIDIA 96.43.23

Not software rendered:yes
Not blacklisted:  yes
GLX fbconfig: yes
GLX texture from pixmap:  yes
GL npot or rect textures: yes
GL vertex program:yes
GL fragment program:  no
GL vertex buffer object:  yes
GL framebuffer object:no
GL version is 1.4+:   yes

Unity 3D supported:   no

But that's not really a problem for me as I run gnome-shell instead of
Unity  it's just nice to get actual video performance back! Thanks
Aaron Plattner (nvidia). Now if we can get jockey updated to include
96.43.23 I'll be happy(ier).
