| PowerTux | hi all anyone has notebook Dell Vostro 3500 with NVidia GT218 GeForce 310M card ? it works ? | 18:07 |
| mhall119 | PowerTux: try asking in #ubuntu (I know it gets crazy busy in there) | 18:13 |
| mhall119 | or in #ubuntu-beginners-chat | 18:13 |
| PowerTux | thanks | 18:15 |
| danstoner | PowerTux: http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201004-5574/ | 18:19 |
| * danstoner wonders why those hardware compat entries do not include detailed reports (like lspci output). | 18:20 | |
| PowerTux | danstoner: sorry, i mean this card NVidia GT218 GeForce 310M | 18:20 |
| PowerTux | i notice that this driver doesnt exist in nvidia drivers GT 218 | 18:21 |
| maxolasersquad | PowerTux: Do you have the laptop already, or are you contemplating getting it? | 18:25 |
| PowerTux | maxolasersquad: I have this one, and try to install this card... | 18:26 |
| RoAkSoAx | .win 3 | 18:27 |
| RoAkSoAx | lol | 18:27 |
| maxolasersquad | If you go to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers, does it show you the NVidia driver ready to install? | 18:27 |
| PowerTux | maxolasersquad : it doesnt has this option Hardware Drivers | 18:35 |
| maxolasersquad | What version of Ubuntu are you running? | 18:36 |
| PowerTux | maxolasersquad: 10.10 | 18:36 |
| PowerTux | 64 bits | 18:36 |
| maxolasersquad | Try runnong the following from a command-line: jockey-gtk | 18:38 |
| PowerTux | maxolasersquad it shows Additional Drivers window | 18:40 |
| PowerTux | it exist after lspci | 18:41 |
| PowerTux | i notice that 310 M driver that i´ve installed dont find this card | 18:42 |
| PowerTux | and on xorg.0.log shows the drivers supported | 18:43 |
| PowerTux | and the GT 218 doenst exists | 18:43 |
| PowerTux | i found in nvidia drivers site and it doesnt exists there | 18:43 |
| PowerTux | there is a 310 M but not gt 218 | 18:44 |
| PowerTux | i´ve download and install this 310 M | 18:44 |
| PowerTux | NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.29.run | 18:45 |
| PowerTux | Im thinking that the correct driver doesnt exists | 18:46 |
| PowerTux | yet | 18:46 |
| maxolasersquad | jockey-gtk should be able to find whatever drivers are available for your card. | 18:46 |
| PowerTux | yep but shows Additional Drivers windows because this notebook has 2 proprietary drivers, Broadcom (Wireless) and Nvidia | 18:49 |
| PowerTux | anyone has NVidia GT218 GeForce 310M working properly on 10.10 64 bits ? | 18:51 |
| andrew | Greetings from the north, how's it feel to be the only state without snow on the ground? | 18:53 |
| maxolasersquad | PowerTux: You should be able to select the Nvidia from jockey-gtk and install the appropriate Nvidia driver for your card. | 19:02 |
| maxolasersquad | andrew: It feels great! | 19:02 |
| andrew | maxolasersquad: I hear that despite the snow, it's still cold down there. | 19:02 |
| PowerTux | maxolasersquad: it has nvidia there, i´ve installed and the problem was the same ! so i uninstalled nvidia from that | 19:03 |
| PowerTux | and downloaded from the site | 19:04 |
| maxolasersquad | PowerTux: What problem do you have? | 19:04 |
| PowerTux | maxolasersquad: after reboot it goes to shell and the error is (EE) device doesnt exists | 19:08 |
| PowerTux | in xorg.0.log | 19:09 |
| maxolasersquad | Some Googling seems to suggest that the card isn't supported under Linux by NVidia yet. | 19:10 |
| maxolasersquad | You may want to try posting the details of your problem at ubuntuforums.org | 19:11 |
| PowerTux | yep i´ll do that, thanks do much | 19:11 |
| maxolasersquad | Does Intel only make graphics chips that are integrated on mobos? | 19:25 |
| * MichelleQ consults wikipedia | 19:28 | |
| MichelleQ | maxolasersquad: if wikipedia is to be believed (which is sometimes questionable) - yes. | 19:29 |
| maxolasersquad | :( | 19:30 |
| MichelleQ | :-/ but I's not an expert | 19:30 |
| MichelleQ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA | 19:31 |
| maxolasersquad | I wonder what the best "free" card is for a desktop. | 19:32 |
| MichelleQ | as in, stand-alone? | 19:32 |
| MichelleQ | non-incorporated? | 19:33 |
| MichelleQ | and I'm going to make the gross assumption that you want it to be ubuntu-compatable, yes? | 19:35 |
| MichelleQ | wow these articles I'm finding are the sucksville. | 19:36 |
| maxolasersquad | Free as in free drivers. | 19:39 |
| MichelleQ | most recent article I can find: http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/38571.aspx | 19:39 |
| maxolasersquad | But still fully supported. | 19:39 |
| MichelleQ | yeah, I dunno. :-/ | 19:41 |
| MichelleQ | then again, I'm probably setting off looking for the wrong bits. | 19:41 |
| maxolasersquad | That article confirms what I feared to be the case. | 19:42 |
| MichelleQ | Sorry. :-/ | 19:43 |
| MichelleQ | I was finding a number of forums/articles/etc, all published in 2002-2005. Totally not helpful. | 19:43 |
| maxolasersquad | I think that is the story. You can either buy a mobo with an integrated Intel chip, or use the FOSS drivers available for NVida or ATI. | 19:49 |
| MichelleQ | seems to be the deal, yeah | 19:50 |
| mhall119 | awesome google rube goldberg video: http://www.fastcompany.com/1715913/syyn-labs-google-science-fair-ruth-goldberg-machine | 20:01 |
| mhall119 | featuring Ubuntu at one point | 20:01 |
| rmcbride | re video cards, I've typically used Nvidia with the Nvidia drivers. My main dev box is a laptop with a GTS 360M. I have had far less problems with it in the course of distro testing than the various Intel GMA devices on my netbooks/old laptop. | 21:37 |
| rmcbride | even the best Intel GMA card I've used is totally useless at any of the decent OpenGL games that I've tried... If I was a driver or kernel developer I'd stick to the FOSS drivers and try to improve them, but... there's really nothing I can do and I consider myself an end user for those kinds of devices. | 21:39 |
| mhall119 | I don't think that's a linux thing | 21:45 |
| mhall119 | from what I hear from windows folks, intel cards are useless for 3d games there too | 21:45 |
| rmcbride | They're not SUPPOSED to be useless, but for those and things like compiz + multiple monitors I've had horrible luck | 21:58 |
| rmcbride | though they do seem to be working OK with the compiz based Unity for 11.04. I just don't have secondary monitors on those laptops | 21:59 |
| mhall119 | my brand new work computer scores 3.9 on the windows metric, because of the intel card | 21:59 |
| rmcbride | ouch | 21:59 |
| mhall119 | 8 cores, 8GB ram | 21:59 |
| mhall119 | only 3.9 | 21:59 |
| mhall119 | so I have a 2-core, 4GB VirtualBox image running Ubuntu | 21:59 |
| mhall119 | I use that for everything but Outlook | 22:00 |
| rmcbride | NIce. back when I was at SYMC I ran Ubuntu and Windows inside seperate sessions under VMWare Fusion on a macbook pro | 22:00 |
| rmcbride | sadly, for some reason they didn't want me taking that laptop with me when I left | 22:00 |
