[03:18] hi, I am using 14.04 beta1. The known issue says it does not support nvidia-prime. Will 14.04 work without nvidia-prime support? I tried to sudo apt-get install nvidia-331. it automatically installs nvidia-prime for me, then I can NOT enter my system. what should I do now? Thanks. === FJKong_afk is now known as FJKong [04:08] sgo11, nvidia-prime does nothing when using gdm [04:16] (i.e. it can't break your system since it won't be run) [04:26] darkxst, just saw your message. thanks for your reply. then what should I do to use nvidia driver? when I install nvidia driver, it just doesn't work. I don't care of intel graphic card. I failed to find an option to disable it in BIOS. what should I do now? thanks. [04:27] try and blacklist the intel kernel driver? [04:28] darkxst, I read the gdm bug. somebody says the bug was fixed in nvidia-prime 0.5hybrid version. But I don't find it in the repo. [04:28] sgo11, that was just to stop nvidia-prime from pulling in lightdm [04:31] darkxst, I am not sure if blacklist the intel kernel driver helps or not. I remembered some guy mentions it won't help at all by google. I don't know the concept behind the bug and why I can't launch gdm. I think my case is normal. There are many laptops which have hybrid cards. I have no idea what to do. [04:33] sgo11, try blacklist it and see! [04:33] if it still doesnt work paste some logs [04:34] darkxst, thanks. let me google how to blacklist it first. never do that before. [04:35] edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [04:35] add a line [04:35] 'blacklist modulename' [04:35] the intel module is i9xx (I dont remember the exact number) [04:36] darkxst, thanks. let me see. [04:36] i915 [04:37] yeh that would it [04:38] darkxst, should I install nvidia driver before I reboot? [04:38] yes [04:39] then if it fails to load, drop to a VT and grab [04:39] /var/log/gdm/\:0.log [04:39] and :0-greeter.log :0-slave.log [04:41] darkxst, I will reboot this machine now. be back soon. thanks. [04:46] darkxst, it's not working. I see a black screen. let me paste the log somewhere. [04:52] darkxst, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7042406/ [04:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7042407/ [04:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7042409/ [04:56] intel driver is still loading and NVIDIA is never loading [04:56] you might need an xorg.conf to tell Xorg to use nvidia driver [04:58] perhaps: [04:58] Section "Device" [04:58] Identifier "Configured Video Device" [04:58] Driver "nvidia" [04:58] EndSection [04:58] would be enough [04:59] darkxst, thanks. I will try that and reboot. [05:04] darkxst, the same result. black screen. let me paste the log again. thanks. [05:08] darkxst, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7042437/ [05:08] that is just the same.... [05:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7042443/ [05:09] do you see the nvidia card in lspci output? [05:09] darkxst, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218M [GeForce 310M] (rev a2) [05:09] the result of "lspci | grep -i nvidia" [05:12] I really don't know then [05:12] I installed nvidia driver by issuing "sudo apt-get install nvidia-331". it works fine with lubuntu 14.04. [05:12] * darkxst has never played with optimus hardware [05:13] you could try install lightdm and see if that works (un-blacklist intel driver) [05:14] darkxst, I was thinking that too. but I forgot the command to set btw lightdm and gdm. let me check my notes. [05:14] dpkg-reconfigure lightdm [05:14] if its installed, otherwise it will just ask you when you install it [05:15] darkxst, thanks. let me try that. [05:20] darkxst, before rebooting. I just realized that i915 is loaded even if I blacklist it. [05:20] sgo11, nvidia prime disables the nvidia card at boot possibly [05:22] sgo11, try sudo service nividia-prime stop [05:22] and then [05:22] startx [05:22] ^rmmod i915 [05:22] and make sure nvidia mod is loaded [05:23] darkxst, I am just trying lightdm now. lightdm can be loaded. once I enter my password, it takes very long time. It is still hanging there. not enter gnome yet. [05:25] gnome can not be launched by lightdm. weird. [05:25] yeh strange [05:26] I am not a native English speaker. what is that circle thing called? spinning? it's spinning forever in lightdm. [05:30] no need to stop nvidia-prime. "status nvidia-prime" returns "stop/waiting" [05:31] what if you try start nvidia-prime? [05:33] darkxst, it can not be started. sudo start nvidia-prime will give process 1891. but once I do ps -ef, the process is not there. status shows it stops/waiting again. [05:33] it must log the reason somewhere [05:34] I am checking.. not sure where logs it. [05:35] maybe /var/log/upstart [05:37] /var/log/nvidia-prime-upstart.log [05:39] darkxst, that file will be re-generated everytime I run sudo start nvidia-prime. it only has three lines. "Configuring xorg.conf" "Configuring alternatives" "Info: the nvidia profile is already in use" [05:39] I mean /var/log/nvidia-prime-upstart.log [05:40] oh. I have xorg.conf generated by nvida-prime. maybe I can reboot to see if that works in gdm or not. [05:42] it doesn't work. black screen with gdm. [05:44] can you try running startx [05:44] with both nvidia-prime stopped and nvidia-prime started [05:45] darkxst, nvidia-prime status will always be stopped. do I simply issue "startx" ? I did that. it is a black screen. [05:45] sgo11, file a bug I guess [05:46] darkxst, should I fire a bug? because that is a known issue in ubuntu gnome 14.04 beta1. from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/Beta1/UbuntuGNOME [05:47] I don't believe that is really the issue here [05:47] (although it may be) [05:48] or mimic the prime scripts [05:48] '/usr/bin/prime-select nvidia' [05:48] startx [05:49] darkxst, i tried that. it just returns "the nvidia profile is already in use". startx gives the same result. [05:49] perhaps with 'sudo prime-offload' [05:49] perhaps with 'sudo /sbin/prime-offload' [05:50] can't open display error. [05:52] sudo startx -- sudo /sbin/prime-offload [05:52] err no middle sudo [05:52] darkxst, ok. if I do this "sudo prime-select intel". and then "reboot". it works with intel card. [05:53] after reboot and enter gnome, I give "sudo prime-select query", it still returns "intel" [05:53] sgo11, so from what I see in the scripts, lightdm loads on the intel card [05:54] once you login, it runs /sbin/prime-offload (presumably after the X server has started) [05:54] darkxst, yeah, lightdm loads on the intel card. but as what I said, when I use lightdm to enter gnome, it's spinning in the lightdm screen forever. [05:54] yeh, I got that [05:55] darkxst, sorry. mistake. I think I should say lightdm loads on nvidia card. since gdm loads on intel card too. [05:57] # We need to make sure that bbswitch is loaded and [05:57] # that the NVIDIA card is disabled before lightdm [05:57] # starts X if system settings require so. [05:57] that setting comes from /etc/prime-discrete [05:59] I am a bit confused. what do you suggest me to do now? thanks. [06:03] file a bug [06:05] `cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch` ? [06:05] darkxst, the result is 0000:01:00.0 OFF [06:11] nvidia kernel modules does load right? [06:12] right now, I am in intel card mode. otherwise, I won't be able to enter gnome. current status: "sudo prime-select query" will give "intel". [06:17] in gnome-shell? [06:17] if so run 'xrandr --listproviders' [06:19] darkxst, yeah, in gnome-shell. if I do "sudo prime-select intel" and then "reboot", everything works just like I haven't installed nvidia driver at all. [06:19] ^ that command outputs? [06:20] darkxst, Providers: number : 1 Provider 0: id: 0x47 cap: 0x9, Source Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 3 outputs: 5 associated providers: 0 name:Intel [06:22] I suppose that means the nividia card is not loaded at all [06:22] ok. I think I just fire another bug then. will use intel card with "prime-select intel" for now. [06:24] In which package did you find this bug? what should I write? gdm? or nvidia-prime? or ubuntu-gnome? [06:25] ubuntu-bug nvidia-prime [06:26] thanks. [06:28] does /etc/X11/xorg.conf have the correct Bus ID for nvidia card? [06:29] probably "01:00.0"? [06:32] currently, there is no xorg.conf. I deleted it. that is only generated if I run sudo start nvidia-prime. [06:37] oh right, you would need that to load the nvidia driver [06:41] anyway here are the nvidia docs, http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/319.12/README/randr14.html [06:42] that is essentially what nvidia-prime scripts are doing [06:43] darkxst, thanks a lot for your time and help. I just fired a bug. I will use intel card for now until it gets fixed. and thanks, I am reading that doc. [06:45] sgo11, always file bugs with 'ubuntu-bug'! [06:46] darkxst, sorry. I never really fired a bug before. let me see what I can do. [06:53] sgo11, run apport-collect [06:54] darkxst, I read your comment. just did that. [06:55] also attach Xorg log (while using the correct xorg.conf config) [06:56] sorry, I don't follow it. xorg.conf is not present now. should I create it by running "sudo start nvidia-prime" ? and then reboot? [06:56] yeh [06:57] and then grab the log from /var/log/gdm/:0.log [06:57] and attach to bug [06:57] darkxst, ok. I will do that now. with "prime-select intel" status, right? otherwise, I won't be able to boot. [07:02] hm... I think I should give logs with "prime-select nvidia" mode. I just boot machine with this mode and ssh to the laptop to get those log files then. [07:03] yeh nvidia mode is fine [07:07] I suppose to be safe also attach -greeter and -slave as well [07:07] yeah, I will do that. [07:13] done [07:17] sgo11, interesting that X log look correct [07:18] ok. gdm screen is just black. [07:19] gdm-slave failed [07:19] no debug logging though [07:20] can you enable that /etc/gdm/custom.conf [07:20] and grab :0-slave.log again [07:21] I will do that. I am upgrading to a new kernel though. to see if that will help. will do that after the upgrade. [07:22] that won't help [07:23] you are right. it doesn't help. nvidia-prime is the same version. :) [07:24] .... I can not crtl+alt+f1 to switch to the first console now. [07:25] ssh-server is still working. [07:34] :0-slave.log re-submitted. [07:36] one last thing to try [07:36] edit /etc/gdm/Init/Default [07:36] ok. I am in that file. where to edit? [07:37] and add a line '/sbin/prime-offload' [07:38] darkxst, to the end? [07:38] at line 8 [07:38] just before initctl is called [07:41] darkxst, did that. still black screen. [07:41] try it in ~/.xinitrc also [07:42] sgo11, it actually looks like it loaded the greeter [07:43] darkxst, will ~/.xinitrc matter? I even don't see login screen. i thought that file will only be loaded after I login. [07:44] yeh true [08:15] darkxst, hi, i saw you changed the bug status to incomplete. what should I do then? I am really new to this. thanks. === makije|away is now known as makije === makije is now known as makije|away === makije|away is now known as makije [17:49] Hi guys! I got two small question in regards to Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 Beta 1 [17:50] Problem 1: My second hard drive, mounted at /media/DataStore shows as being a removable drive while it isn't ... it's connected internally to an SATA port and mounted during fstab. Any way to fix this? [17:51] Problem 2: Is there any way to disable that "pull up to unlock" lock screen when the monitor wakes up again? I feel "Metrocalypsed" [18:20] B_Jay: Well, the "pull up to unlock" lock screen is a part of GDM [18:20] Oh crap, left [18:21] query B_Jay === makije is now known as makije|away [20:20] kudos [20:21] good stuffs, even gnome3 ppa works fine [20:22] And the font rendering is very good [20:22] first time i liked the font rendering stock [20:50] hello ...I am the new one === makije|away is now known as makije === makije is now known as makije|away [22:04] mmm
