[00:29] <pking123> I have problems with nvidia driver. I have a geforce gtx 1660, and the nvidia-settings command gives a blank window.
[00:29] <pking123> I just installed Ubuntu studio 20.04
[00:30] <Eickmeyer> pking123: I'll test on mine real quick, but I haven't experienced that problem (gtx 1650 here, so not much different).
[00:30] <Eickmeyer> I'm currently in a different OS. Hang on....
[00:37] <Eickmeyer> pking123: No issues here. Did you install the nvidia drivers from the nvidia site or from Software & Updates > Additional Drivers?
[00:39] <pking123> I went through the "Software" installer and found nvidia-settings there.
[00:39] <pking123> I also attempted to do a manual install of the latest downloaded driver.
[00:40] <Eickmeyer> Check Software & Updates and make sure you're using the Nvidia drivers recommended there.
[00:40] <pking123> Both led to the same result
[00:40] <pking123> Doing that now
[00:41] <Eickmeyer> If you installed the driver manually, that might be the problem. It's very easy to install the wrong driver for Nvidia.
[00:41] <Eickmeyer> !nvidia | pking123: This is the recommended method
[00:42] <pking123> I am currently downloading the latest through software&updates.
[00:42] <Eickmeyer> Ok. That might fix your issue.
[00:43] <Eickmeyer> Just remember: Ubuntu tries to make it easy. Don't overcomplicate it. :)
[00:44] <pking123> I am being asked for a Secure Boot password. I don't recall setting a password in the BIOS.
[00:44] <pking123> My mother board is using UEFI, btw
[00:44] <Eickmeyer> That's for you to set. It will ask for that password after you reboot just one time.
[00:45] <Eickmeyer> I don't own a non-UEFI computer.
[00:45] <Eickmeyer> This is simply for registering the Nvidia driver with the kernel so that Secure Boot doesn't freak out.
[00:46] <pking123> Still waiting
[00:46] <Eickmeyer> Did you create a password in that dialog?
[00:46] <pking123> It was using the XORG driver by default, despite all my installation attempts
[00:47] <pking123> Yes, a password was created.
[00:47] <Eickmeyer> Then that's why. You were trying the hard way when Ubuntu provides a much easier way.
[00:48] <Eickmeyer> It will ask for that password when you reboot (just once), so make sure you remember it.
[00:48] <pking123> So I guess I will need to reboot to find out how I did;
[00:48] <Eickmeyer> Yep.
[00:48] <pking123> I know the password
[00:48] <Eickmeyer> Good.
[00:48] <pking123> BRB
[00:48] <Eickmeyer> k
[00:57] <paul78> I am back Eickmeyer, but I while the driver is loaded, I noticed a ton of errors at boot-up, and have now lost decent screen resolution. The nvidia-settings still doesn't work, and so I think since I just reinstalled Ubuntu today, I will just try again, and go through software settings like last time
[00:57] <paul78> Thanks for your awesome help and advice
[02:43] <overit> does not resume from suspend after upgrade. blank screen flashes a few times.
[02:46] <overit> these disposable OS's are all the same: fall apart at the seams and have to reinstall several times per year.
[03:02] <Eickmeyer> ^ Gah! Why am I even doing this?!?!?!? /s
[03:08] <oerheks> Oke, let me explain it once more ..
[03:08] <Eickmeyer> XD
[03:09] <oerheks> it was your choice, a bit forced, true.
[20:09] <Guest36284> I am having a metronome issue with Ardour 5.12.0
[20:10] <Guest36284> Metronome gives no audio output option for "click" in the audio connection manager
