| bjsnider | tseliot, i've got a guy in the other channel that is running nvidia's module with nouveau's glx links because the alternative didn't switch over | 15:40 |
|---|---|---|
| tseliot | bjsnider: what room? And how doesn't it switch to nvidia? | 15:40 |
| bjsnider | +1 | 15:41 |
| bjsnider | i can get him in here | 15:41 |
| tseliot | bjsnider: yes, please | 15:41 |
| bjsnider | ok, it's superlag | 15:41 |
| bjsnider | so he installed nvidia-319 twice and manually ran the --install /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu_GL.conf x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf /usr/lib/nvidia-319/ld.so.conf 8602 command | 15:42 |
| SuperLag | yep | 15:42 |
| bjsnider | SuperLag, you didn't get any errors when you installed the 319 package right? | 15:42 |
| SuperLag | bjsnider: no errors | 15:43 |
| bjsnider | tseliot, so there you have it | 15:43 |
| bjsnider | when he runs readlink /etc/alternatives/x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf it's the mesa link | 15:44 |
| tseliot | SuperLag: why did you run that command manually? | 15:44 |
| SuperLag | tseliot: which one? | 15:44 |
| tseliot | SuperLag: update-alternatives --install /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu_GL.conf x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf /usr/lib/nvidia-319/ld.so.conf 8602 | 15:44 |
| bjsnider | i told him to | 15:44 |
| tseliot | you shouldn't have to do that | 15:45 |
| bjsnider | yep | 15:45 |
| tseliot | SuperLag: have you used the NVIDIA installer before on the same ubuntu installation? | 15:46 |
| bjsnider | he says he didn't ever use the nvidia-installer | 15:46 |
| SuperLag | negative | 15:46 |
| bjsnider | haha i axed him | 15:46 |
| bjsnider | he did use xorg-edgers though | 15:46 |
| SuperLag | which I purged | 15:46 |
| SuperLag | and I also did dpkg --purge nvidia-* | 15:46 |
| tseliot | SuperLag: can you please type "sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-319" and show me the output of "update-alternatives --display x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf" | 15:47 |
| tseliot | ? | 15:47 |
| SuperLag | sure... stand by | 15:47 |
| tseliot | (use pastebin please) | 15:47 |
| bjsnider | i don't think it's useful that the update-alternatives command is run, fails, and doesn't produce any useful message about it | 15:48 |
| SuperLag | update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf to provide /etc/ld.so.conf.d/i386-linux-gnu_GL.conf (i386-linux-gnu_gl_conf) in auto mode <-- this was part of the apt-get purge output | 15:49 |
| SuperLag | for the record, I'm on an x64 system | 15:49 |
| SuperLag | Linux beast 3.11.0-12-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 9 16:20:46 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 15:50 |
| SuperLag | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6251670/ | 15:51 |
| SuperLag | more info... this was an install from a Daily image, and I've kept it updated after that. If you guys thing I broke something internal, and should reinstall to fix it, I'm willing to do that. I've got ~, /usr/local/, and /opt isolated... so it's almost painless. :) | 15:52 |
| bjsnider | it would be better to find out what's wrong than to just reinstall to fix it. someone else could have this problem | 15:53 |
| tseliot | SuperLag: ok, now "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-319" and the output of "update-alternatives --display x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf" again | 15:54 |
| SuperLag | no problem | 15:54 |
| SuperLag | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6251715/ | 15:58 |
| tjaalton | "manual mode" | 16:01 |
| SuperLag | tjaalton: that's from when bjsnider had me run that command | 16:02 |
| tjaalton | well it's still in manual mode, need to remove it manually then too, I guess | 16:02 |
| tjaalton | but yes, a big loud warning when it's in manual mode would be nice | 16:02 |
| tjaalton | or just override it | 16:02 |
| tjaalton | since installing the package without overriding it will break things, no? | 16:03 |
| SuperLag | How do I remove it? | 16:03 |
| bjsnider | it failed the same way before he switched to manual mode | 16:03 |
| bjsnider | sudo update-alternatives --auto x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf | 16:08 |
| tjaalton | could work | 16:08 |
| bjsnider | the priority numbers say that it should switch to nvidia | 16:08 |
| bjsnider | since recent studies have shown 8602 is higher than 500 | 16:09 |
| SuperLag | :D | 16:10 |
| bjsnider | did that change it? | 16:11 |
| SuperLag | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6251780/ | 16:12 |
| bjsnider | so why was that alternative in manual mode | 16:13 |
| SuperLag | no clue... but it didn't fix it. | 16:13 |
| SuperLag | rebooted and I'm still in 640x480 | 16:13 |
| bjsnider | you must be using all nvidia now | 16:13 |
| bjsnider | glxinfo? | 16:14 |
| bjsnider | maybe the auto command should be added to the postinst and prerm scripts | 16:14 |
| SuperLag | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6251785 | 16:15 |
| bjsnider | and is the alternative still nvidia? | 16:15 |
| bjsnider | if so, run ldconfig and reboot | 16:16 |
| SuperLag | root@beast ~ # readlink /etc/alternatives/x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf | 16:16 |
| SuperLag | /usr/lib/nvidia-319/alt_ld.so.conf | 16:16 |
| bjsnider | yeah run ldconfig and reboot | 16:17 |
| SuperLag | done. black screen, after giving my creds to lightdm | 16:17 |
| SuperLag | I can log in on SSH though | 16:18 |
| bjsnider | the keyboard fails to respond? | 16:18 |
| SuperLag | well, the screen isn't lighting up when I press the keyboard, if that's what you mean | 16:19 |
| SuperLag | but I do have an SSH session | 16:19 |
| tseliot | SuperLag: sudo ldconfig; sudo update-initramfs -u | 16:20 |
| tseliot | then reboot and if it fails, please get /var/log/Xorg.0.log from ssh | 16:21 |
| SuperLag | funny... when I rebooted, the Ubuntu logo showed up | 16:22 |
| tjaalton | cat /proc/cmdline | 16:22 |

| tseliot | SuperLag: what does this command say? dkms status | 16:25 |

| SuperLag | I have no issue with dumping vbox, either, if needed. | 16:26 |
| SuperLag | I use VMware, and was just tinkering with vbox | 16:26 |
| SuperLag | Done. vbox gone. | 16:31 |
| tseliot | SuperLag: what about "dmesg" ? | 16:35 |
| tseliot | as the nvidia module doesn't seem to be loaded | 16:35 |
| tseliot | at least according to the X log | 16:36 |
| tjaalton | it doesn't exist | 16:37 |
| tjaalton | [ 5.228] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) | 16:37 |
| tjaalton | oh right | 16:37 |
| tjaalton | hmm no | 16:37 |
| tjaalton | I'll just leave you to it :) | 16:37 |
| bjsnider | how can it not exist if dkms says it's installed | 16:38 |
| bjsnider | another user complained about this exact problem a short time ago | 16:38 |
| bjsnider | bringing him in here | 16:39 |
| exalt | hi | 16:39 |
| exalt | hello, i installed ubuntu on an optimuslaptop in discrete mode,i then installed nvidia-319 with nvidia-prime and rebooted, all i see is a blurredscreen. what do i do now ? | 16:39 |
| bjsnider | exalt, i thought you said earlier you had a black screen | 16:39 |
| tseliot | bjsnider: well, if he's running 3.11.0-11-generic instead of 3.11.0-12-generic he won't have that module | 16:40 |
| bjsnider | yep | 16:40 |
| SuperLag | it loads, but then it looks like it switches to vesafb | 16:40 |
| bjsnider | 12 should be on top of the list though | 16:40 |
| tjaalton | make sure linux-image-generic is installed and all headers too | 16:40 |
| tjaalton | that it should pull | 16:40 |
| SuperLag | exalt: what laptop do you have? | 16:41 |
| exalt | thinkpad w520 | 16:41 |
| SuperLag | exalt: and what do you mean by "blurred screen" | 16:41 |
| SuperLag | yeah... mine is a W530 | 16:41 |
| tseliot | SuperLag: it shouldn't load vesafb | 16:41 |
| SuperLag | tseliot: I could be reading it wrong... but yeah. | 16:42 |
| tseliot | SuperLag: can you pastebin dmesg, please? | 16:42 |
| SuperLag | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6251923/ | 16:43 |
| SuperLag | tseliot: search for NVRM | 16:43 |
| SuperLag | tseliot: the vesa stuff comes immediately thereafter | 16:45 |
| tseliot | SuperLag: there's something wrong. What's the output of "grep -Rl vesa /etc/modprobe.d/" ? | 16:47 |
| exalt | http://i.imgur.com/JygFuPP.jpg | 16:47 |
| exalt | sorry it tokesomentime | 16:47 |
| exalt | doing it on tablet | 16:48 |
| tseliot | exalt: can you ssh into the system? | 16:48 |
| SuperLag | root@beast ~ # grep -Rl vesa /etc/modprobe.d/ | 16:48 |
| SuperLag | /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf | 16:48 |
| exalt | i can get in commanline | 16:48 |
| tjaalton | so a hybrid system, didn't it need that the driver is installed via jockey? ;) | 16:49 |
| tseliot | exalt: good. So please type the following: "sudo nvidia-bug-report.sh" | 16:49 |
| tseliot | tjaalton: I think he installed manually | 16:49 |
| tseliot | which should work | 16:49 |
| tjaalton | does it install nvidia-prime? | 16:49 |
| tseliot | he installed both packages manually. There's no jockey in saucy | 16:50 |
| tjaalton | ok i missed that phase | 16:50 |
| exalt | its complete | 16:50 |
| SuperLag | tseliot: should vesafb be blacklisted, as well? | 16:51 |
| tseliot | exalt: good, so that has created a tarball that I will need later. Now, let's get the system up & running again. Type: "sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-319 nvidia-prime" and reboot | 16:52 |
| tseliot | SuperLag: the only thing (that I know of) that can possibly load it is grub but nvidia blacklists that too | 16:53 |
| SuperLag | tseliot: this blows. :/ | 16:53 |
| tseliot | SuperLag: but anyway, does "lsmod | grep nvidia" say anything? | 16:53 |
| SuperLag | tseliot: oh yeah, it's loaded | 16:54 |
| tseliot | SuperLag: can I see the new X log, please? | 16:54 |
| SuperLag | nvidia 9430350 0 | 16:54 |
| SuperLag | drm 296739 1 nvidia | 16:54 |
| SuperLag | tseliot: coming right up. | 16:54 |
| SuperLag | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6251985/ | 16:55 |
| exalt_lap | hello | 16:55 |
| SuperLag | tseliot: that's after uncommenting the vesafb line and rebooting. | 16:55 |
| exalt_lap | i got visuals again :P | 16:55 |
| exalt_lap | now lets get nvidia to work -_-' | 16:55 |
| SuperLag | what a cluster | 16:56 |
| tseliot | exalt_lap: please upload the tarball somewhere | 16:56 |
| tseliot | SuperLag: please type the following: "sudo nvidia-bug-report.sh" | 16:57 |
| tseliot | there must be something that I'm missing... | 16:57 |
| exalt_lap | exalt.nu/nvbr_exalt.log.gz | 16:59 |
| SuperLag | tseliot: had to find it, as it's not on $PATH | 17:00 |
| tseliot | exalt_lap: you seem to only have one graphics card. Are you sure that your system has two cards? | 17:00 |
| exalt_lap | tseliot: as i said i booted in in discrete mode, SuperLag said that was the way to go | 17:01 |
| tseliot | exalt_lap: if you boot in discrete mode you disable the integrated card. This means you don't need the nvidia-prime package. You should install only the nvidia driver | 17:02 |
| SuperLag | tseliot: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/913175/nvidia-bug-report.log.gz | 17:02 |
| exalt_lap | ahh | 17:02 |
| exalt_lap | ty brb i reboot and put it on again | 17:02 |
| tseliot | SuperLag: Error (404) | 17:02 |
| exalt_lap | SuperLag: that link is private lol :) | 17:03 |
| SuperLag | Oh yeah. Since the system didn't completely start, Dropbox didn't start. Try now. Same link. | 17:05 |
| tseliot | err: ldd /usr/bin/glxinfo | 17:07 |
| tseliot | linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff89dac000) | 17:07 |
| tseliot | libGL.so.1 => not found | 17:07 |
| tseliot | SuperLag: what does "ldconfig -p | grep GL" say? | 17:09 |
| exalt | okay strange ... i installed nvidia again with optimus enabled and i hear the login sound but screen stays black | 17:09 |
| tseliot | exalt: if optimus mode is enabled you need both nvidia-319 and nvidia-prime. In discrete mode only nvidia-319 | 17:10 |
| SuperLag | tseliot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6252082/ | 17:11 |
| exalt | yes thats what i did : sudo apt-get install nvidia-319 nvidia-prime nvidia-settings-319 | 17:11 |
| SuperLag | :) | 17:11 |
| SuperLag | exalt: I think you misunderstood him | 17:11 |
| exalt | i enabled optimus mode | 17:11 |
| exalt | im no longer in discrete | 17:11 |
| exalt | still think i misunderstood? | 17:12 |
| tseliot | exalt: my best guess is that, since you can enable and disable the nvidia card from the BIOS, your system has a MUX. I'm not sure that would work. | 17:12 |
| exalt | tseliot: u think i should reinstall ? | 17:13 |
| exalt | the whole system? | 17:13 |
| tseliot | SuperLag: that's kind of broken. No nvidia libraries there | 17:13 |
| tseliot | exalt: not really | 17:13 |
| tseliot | exalt: what happens if you remove nvidia-prime and keep nvidia-319 in optimus mode? (And reboot) | 17:16 |
| tseliot | SuperLag: it looks like you're still using the wrong alternative or ldconfig fails to understand that | 17:18 |
| SuperLag | tseliot: how do I fix it? | 17:28 |
| tseliot | SuperLag: if the alternative points at /usr/lib/nvidia-319/ld.so.conf and "sudo ldconfig" doesn't change "ldconfig -p | grep GL" then I have no idea and you should probably reinstall the system | 17:30 |
| SuperLag | tseliot: ugh | 17:32 |
| tseliot | SuperLag: wait a second... | 17:33 |
| tseliot | SuperLag: no, never mind | 17:34 |
| * tseliot -> off | 17:35 | |
| SuperLag | wait | 17:35 |
| SuperLag | tseliot: does the fact that alternatives still have some i386 entries, rather than x86_64 like I'm running, pose problems? | 17:36 |
| bjsnider | 32bit vdpau? | 17:41 |
| SuperLag | I gave up. *sigh* | 17:42 |
| SuperLag | Retrieving file 16 of 69.... | 17:42 |
| bjsnider | did you try ldconfig again? | 17:43 |
| SuperLag | yes | 17:43 |
| SuperLag | and no | 17:43 |
| SuperLag | made no difference | 17:43 |
| SuperLag | Xorg log looked the same, and I still had VGA session | 17:43 |
| SuperLag | only a VGA session, that is | 17:44 |
| mdeslaur | FYI, I pushed out the xorg-server updates to the stable releases, so let me know if things explode | 17:45 |
| bjsnider | SuperLag, https://github.com/tseliot/nvidia-graphics-drivers/blob/319/debian/nvidia-319.postinst | 17:46 |
| bjsnider | SuperLag, the command to create the alternatives is lines 129-154 | 17:47 |
| bjsnider | if you want to run it you would then have to switch back to auto and run ldconfig both as sudo | 17:47 |
| tjaalton | mdeslaur: ok, thanks | 18:02 |
| exalt | hello can anyone explain this to me ? http://i.imgur.com/NzLajGe.png | 18:20 |
| exalt | it ocurred afther the nvidia driver installation reboot | 18:23 |
| exalt | this is the bug i suffer https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1227747 | 18:44 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 1227747 in gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) "[xrandr]: gnome-settings-daemon crashed with signal 5 in _XReply()" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 18:44 |
| bjsnider | SuperLag, let me know if everything's fine after your wipe/reload | 19:35 |
| bjsnider | i have to report to my red chinese masters | 19:35 |
| SuperLag | haha | 20:35 |
| SuperLag | bjsnider: just finished my reload. I'm installing Nvidia throught the "Additional Drivers" section in Settings | 20:35 |
| bjsnider | coolio | 20:36 |
| SuperLag | funny.... the "Settings" icon isn't showing up on the menu bar | 20:37 |
| SuperLag | YEAH BABY. | 20:38 |
| SuperLag | Nvidia goodness. | 20:38 |
| bjsnider | works now huh? | 20:38 |
| SuperLag | I know... I know... I'm an OSS infidel... but nouveau just *SUCKS* compared to the closed source driver. | 20:39 |
| bjsnider | not really | 20:43 |
| bjsnider | it's quite impressive actually | 20:44 |
| bjsnider | it may not drive your particular hardware well | 20:45 |
