| knittl | hi | 19:05 |
| knittl | i cannot install nvidia-current, here's a fresh jockey.log: http://paste2.org/p/1272453 | 19:05 |
| knittl | i haven't managed to install it for at least three versions of ubuntu | 19:05 |
| knittl | logfile was removed before starting jockey and then copied after trying (and failing) to install it | 19:06 |
| bjsnider | looks like it did install | 19:09 |
| knittl | bjsnider: it pops up a message box, telling me 'failed to install, see log file' | 19:09 |
| knittl | and then jockey says 'driver was just disabled, is already in use' or something along that line | 19:09 |
| knittl | and when i start jockey again, it says 'a different version of this driver is in use' | 19:10 |
| bjsnider | can you pastebin glxinfo? | 19:11 |
| bjsnider | and dkms status | 19:11 |
| yofel | dkms seems to have built fine from the log, but: | 19:12 |
| yofel | 2011-02-27 20:03:34,054 ERROR: update-alternatives: warning: skip creation of /usr/lib32/vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so.1 because associated file /usr/lib32/nvidia-current/vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so.1 (of link group gl_conf) doesn't exist. | 19:12 |
| knittl | bjsnider: yeah, can do | 19:12 |
| knittl | bjsnider: http://paste2.org/p/1272461 | 19:13 |
| bjsnider | yofel, known error message. it is inconsequential | 19:13 |
| yofel | ah | 19:13 |
| knittl | bjsnider: http://paste2.org/p/1272462 | 19:13 |
| bjsnider | knittl, can you start nvidia-settings without an error message? | 19:14 |
| yofel | why would something inconsequential be logged as "ERROR" though? | 19:14 |
| knittl | bjsnider: no, i'm running nouveau atm | 19:14 |
| knittl | $ lsmod|grep video | 19:14 |
| knittl | video 18951 1 nouveau | 19:14 |
| yofel | knittl: can you pastebin your xorg.conf? | 19:14 |
| knittl | $ ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 19:15 |
| knittl | ls: cannot access /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory | 19:15 |
| bjsnider | knittl, please install nvidia-current through jockey and reboot | 19:15 |
| knittl | no xorg.conf here | 19:15 |
| bjsnider | yofel, ask pitti | 19:15 |
| bjsnider | it's a logging issue but it's no big deal | 19:15 |
| yofel | k | 19:15 |
| knittl | should i generate a new xorg.conf? | 19:16 |
| knittl | using nvidia-xconfig? | 19:16 |
| bjsnider | jockey will do that for you | 19:16 |
| bjsnider | you can check before you reboot | 19:16 |
| knittl | bjsnider: read 5 lines above | 19:16 |
| knittl | there's no xorg.conf | 19:16 |
| bjsnider | install nvidia-current through jockey | 19:17 |
| knittl | (i'm using natty btw, but this issue has bugged me since nvidia-current was introduced) | 19:17 |
| knittl | bjsnider: i did. well, i *tried* | 19:17 |
| bjsnider | i don't care if you get an error message | 19:17 |
| knittl | bjsnider: i start jockey. i select nvidia-current and click install | 19:17 |
| bjsnider | knittl, have you done a wipe and reload since before lucid? | 19:18 |
| knittl | it installs, gives an error/warning (you don't care, ok. i wouldn't care if it was a bogus message) | 19:18 |
| knittl | i close jockey and there's still no xorg.conf | 19:18 |
| bjsnider | it probably is a bogus message | 19:18 |
| bjsnider | ok, you can use nvidia-xconfig | 19:19 |
| knittl | i think i had to reinstall once, because my root file system was damaged | 19:19 |
| knittl | knittl@kbook:~$ jockey-gtk | 19:19 |
| knittl | knittl@kbook:~$ # told jockey to install nvidia-current | 19:19 |
| knittl | knittl@kbook:~$ ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 19:19 |
| knittl | ls: cannot access /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory | 19:19 |
| knittl | i'll use -xconfig | 19:20 |
| bjsnider | ok, create the file yourself and i'll pastebin what should be in it | 19:20 |
| * knittl rebooting | 19:20 | |
| knittl | woohoo, i'm in X | 19:26 |
| knittl | with -current | 19:26 |
| knittl | but my external monitor is currently ~100 km north | 19:26 |
| bjsnider | knittl, are you on i386 or amd64? | 19:27 |
| knittl | 32bit | 19:27 |
| bjsnider | of course | 19:27 |
| knittl | jockey still tries to tell me 'a different version of this driver is in use' | 19:27 |
| bjsnider | and can you do glxinfo again? | 19:27 |
| knittl | bjsnider: 32bit/i386 | 19:27 |
| knittl | sure | 19:28 |
| knittl | just a sec | 19:28 |
| knittl | http://paste2.org/p/1272487 | 19:29 |
| knittl | nvidia-current has always worked with a single monitor here (laptop screen) | 19:29 |
| bjsnider | and you're able to launch nvidia-settings without issue | 19:29 |
| knittl | most of the time i had to install it manually with apt-get though | 19:29 |
| knittl | yes | 19:29 |
| bjsnider | well, i thought this bug had been fixed | 19:31 |
| knittl | which bug exactly? | 19:31 |
| bjsnider | obviously jockey exited because of meaningless warnings without setting up your xorg.conf and telling you the driver was activated | 19:31 |
| knittl | it still believes the driver is not activated | 19:31 |
| bjsnider | knittl, the errors on lines 340 and 341of your jockey log would only happen on an i386 system. | 19:32 |
| bjsnider | perhaps it's been under the radar because not many people still use i386 | 19:33 |
| knittl | bjsnider: http://www.thehappy.de/neo/jockey-nvidia-current.png | 19:33 |
| bjsnider | jockey's message to you is just a by-product of the real issue | 19:35 |
| knittl | jockey does only recognize amd64 drivers? oO | 19:35 |
| bjsnider | knittl, sounds like it's bug 552653 | 19:37 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 552653 in jockey (Ubuntu) "[Lucid] Jockey gives message that it failed to install nvidia hardware driver (affects: 49) (dups: 8) (heat: 274)" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/552653 | 19:37 |
| knittl | i'm subscribed to that bug ^^ | 19:37 |
| bjsnider | knittl, did you use the nvidia-installer at some point? | 19:40 |
| knittl | not since i had to reinstall ubuntu. iirc | 19:41 |
| bjsnider | well you should talk to tseliot about this tomorrow | 19:41 |
| bjsnider | he'll be here in the morning | 19:41 |
| knittl | i've talked to him a lot of times already :D | 19:42 |
| knittl | but ok. maybe the day after tomorrow, i won't have much time tomorrow | 19:42 |
| bjsnider | about this issue? | 19:42 |
| knittl | about jockey failing and about my second monitor not being managed | 19:42 |
| knittl | maybe 270 fixes the monitor issue. i don't care much about jockey failing as long as the driver works :D | 19:44 |
