| zzippy | tseliot: Hi! is it possibl that Nvidia 319 installs differently on optimus machines, means that /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules sometimes is a link to /etc/alternatives/aso and sometimes not? | 10:14 |
|---|---|---|
| zzippy | ubuntu. btw | 10:18 |
| tseliot | zzippy: where did you get that package from? | 10:18 |
| zzippy | tseliot: xorgedgers | 10:20 |
| tseliot | zzippy: I doubt they're doing anything different from the official packages. Why do you ask? | 10:20 |
| tseliot | are you experiencing any problems? | 10:21 |
| zzippy | Wait a minute, I will try to explain. | 10:21 |
| zzippy | A guy from our forum created a script, which makes it possible to switch from "whole desktop on nvidia" to "Desktop on Intel" using bbswitch module from bumblebee. Works great, powersaving on demand. unfortunately /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules, which has to be deleted to make this work, on some machines not is just a link to /etc/alternatives/aso | 10:25 |
| tseliot | zzippy: I'm not familiar with the /etc/alternatives/aso file | 10:40 |
| tseliot | ricotz: ^^ | 10:40 |
| zzippy | tseliot: /etc/alternatives/x86_64-linux-gnu_xorg_extra_modules contains libglx.so (link), libglx.so.319.17 and nvidia_drv.so | 10:44 |
| tseliot | zzippy: I know what /etc/alternatives/x86_64-linux-gnu_xorg_extra_modules is (I worked on it) but I don't know about that link you were talking about | 10:45 |
| zzippy | tseliot: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules on some machines links to /etc/alternatives/x86_64-linux-gnu_xorg_extra_modules, but sometimes not. | 10:51 |
| zzippy | We ddo not understand why nvidia driver seems to install differently, thats all | 10:52 |
| zzippy | Well, we make further investigations on this. | 10:52 |
| tseliot | zzippy: I wouldn't know. Does this also happen with the packages in the ubuntu repository? | 10:52 |
| zzippy | tseliot: we use x-staging ppa and only nvidia-319 from xorgedgers, not their whole ppa | 10:54 |
| tseliot | zzippy: yes, I meant the nvidia packages in the ubuntu repository | 10:59 |
| zzippy | 319 arrived in ubuntu repository? Sorry, did not know. | 11:01 |
| zzippy | ..cannot find any nvidia-319 in ubuntu repos. | 11:13 |
| ricotz | zzippy, nvidia-319 is not available in ubuntu yet -- i have never seen "/etc/alternatives/aso", but since you said you played with several version and scripts you should outrule it isnt generated/caused by them | 11:32 |
| ricotz | the edgers 319 package is plainly based on "nvidia-graphics-drivers-313-updates (313.26-0ubuntu3)" | 11:33 |
| ricotz | zzippy, so i guess tseliot meant to try to confirm problems with 313.26-0ubuntu3 | 11:34 |
| tseliot | yes, they haven't approved my 319 package yet... | 11:34 |
| ricotz | tseliot, feel free to push them to the saucy pocket only in xorg-edgers | 11:35 |
| zzippy | ricotz: sorry, with "aso" I meant "and so on", was too lazy to type "x86_64-linux-gnu_xorg_extra_modules" ;) | 11:59 |
| tseliot | ricotz: ok | 12:02 |
