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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-settings in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477309 Title: When trying to save new X configuration, I get an error message: Failed to parse existing x config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-settings/+bug/477309/+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
