[11:23] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[16:26] <Walther> Installing nvidia-experimental-310 results in instant crash of a graphical desktop when logging in, even though the login screen is fine
[16:26] <Walther> Xorg.0.log shows "EE - Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
[16:27] <Walther> Anyone have any ideas on how to fix?
[16:28] <BluesKaj> Walther, yup , if your card is older than or less than the geforce 8800xt . it won't run the desktop
[16:28] <BluesKaj> the 310 driver is meant for cards 8800xt and up
[16:30] <Walther> I have 620M, should be new enough
[16:31] <Walther> so, any debugging/fixing tips
[16:34] <bjsnider> no, it just dropped support for the geforce 7 and below
[16:34] <bjsnider> all geforce 8 cards should work, i believe, and newer
[16:34] <bjsnider> Walther, need to see xorg.0.log
[16:34] <bjsnider> in /var/log
[16:35] <bjsnider> supported cards: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-310.14-driver.html
[16:35] <bjsnider> 620m is there
[16:38] <BluesKaj> my 8400 series isn't supported , basically an entry level ...the 304 driver is it
[16:39] <BluesKaj> I saw the 310.19 driver available too
[16:39] <BluesKaj> for newer higher end cards
[16:39] <bjsnider> the 8400 is on that list
[16:40] <BluesKaj> hmm, well wonders never cease . thought my elcheapos would be left behind in the dust soon :)
[16:41] <bjsnider> this makes sense because there was a major change in the hardware in between the 7|8 series
[16:42] <bjsnider> so while the 6 and 7 aren't that different, the 7 and 8 are
[16:42] <bjsnider> the purevideo feature was added, for one thing, which gives rise to vdpau
[16:45] <Walther> could anyone check whether the 620M is supported
[16:45] <bjsnider> it is supported
[16:45] <bjsnider> i already mentioned that
[16:45] <Walther> ah, sorry, missed a line
[16:47] <bjsnider> let me see that log i asked for, please
[16:49] <Walther> hm, i wonder what is the easiest way to do that through CLI
[16:49] <Walther> pastebin the logfile
[16:50] <bazhang> pastebinit
[16:52] <Walther> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1389391/ should be it
[16:57] <bjsnider> Walther, is this a hybrid setup with an intel gpu?
[17:00] <bjsnider> line 286: intel(0): [DRI2]   DRI driver: i965
[17:00] <bjsnider> right there it's selecting i965 instead of nvidia
[17:00] <bjsnider> gpu switching is not supported officially in linux at this point in time
[17:01] <Walther> bjsnider: wel, given a modern CPU you cannot have only the dedicated GPU, as with sandy and ivy bridge intels, the GPU is baked into the CPU itself
[17:01] <Walther> also, i965? this should be HD4000
[17:01] <bjsnider> yeah, and then you've also got a discreet one
[17:02] <bjsnider> i965 is just the driver name
[17:02] <bjsnider> so, you're using ivybridge, which is great
[17:02] <bjsnider> Walther, are you doing any serious gaming?
[17:02] <Walther> bjsnider: I would, if I could :P I got among the first into Steam Linux beta
[17:02] <bjsnider> oh, swell
[17:03] <Walther> But yeah, the surprising part was that I *did* have nvidia-current working
[17:03] <bjsnider> never a break
[17:03] <bjsnider> anyway, your laptop has an efi bios probably. there may be a setting in there to turn one of the two gpus off
[17:03] <Walther> yeah, I hear there are quite a plenty of skiddies around being all "awsum ubuntu linux gaming" and asking all possible stupid questions
[17:04] <Walther> But yeah: nvidia-current worked, with bumblebee - I had my basic desktop drawn by Intel GPU and I could run say, glxspheres with Nvidia acceleration through optirun
[17:04] <bjsnider> if you're not doing any opengl gaming the answer to this is very easy: use the ivybridge gpu because the intel graphics driver is far and away the best on linux, by approximately one billion times
[17:04] <Walther> but installing nvidia-experimental-310 results in broken desktop
[17:05] <Walther> and *that's* what I'm trying to figure out
[17:05] <bjsnider> bumblebee is an unofficial project. no support in here
[17:06] <bjsnider> have you checked the bios for that setting?
[17:06] <bjsnider> your vendor may have been thoughtful enough to offer you manual control over the gpus
[17:07] <Walther> Haven't checked, because, like I said, it has been working better than nothing already, including the switching possibility, when using nvidia-current
[17:07] <Walther> so I have no interest in disabling one of the gpus, I could just revert back to the older driver
[17:08] <Walther> but the thing is, I'd like to know *what* goes wrong with the experimental driver, and how to fix it
[17:08] <Walther> because it has been said that the new driver is "so much better"
[17:08] <bjsnider> sure it is
[17:09] <bjsnider> if there's a bumblebee irc channel, try there
[17:19] <bblz> hey. I have insanely sensitive hearing, and my CPU fan is blasting on full power all the time while running Ubuntu. Does anyone have simple instructions on how to regulate fan speed according to temperature?
[18:48] <genii-around> Wondering if anyone with Kubuntu 13.04 is getting plasma crash when Quassel tray icon gets an incoming message? Right now I am, just curious if it's affecting others.
[20:12] <Walther> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1389915/ any ideas?
