ironhide install using nvidia's glx module #6

Open andaag opened 13 years ago

had bumblebee from the ppa installed earlier. I removed bumblebee, nvidia-current, virtualgl. And reinstalled ironhide.

Now X uses nvidia's GLX module.

are you on oneiric or natty???

did you run the configuration utility???

andaag commented 13 years ago

I assumed this was an unhandled scenario, and didn't include as much info as I should have. Sorry about that.

I installed ironhide, and it auto opened the coniguration utility. The nvidia module failed to run, because I run kernel 3.0. After installing ironhide I grabbed the latest nvidia driver, installed that, and manually reran ironhide config.

MrMEEE commented 13 years ago

ok, where did you install the nvidia-driver from???

andaag commented 13 years ago

nvidia-current_285.03-0ubuntu1~edgers~natty1_amd64.deb and nvidia-settings_285.03-0ubuntu1~edgers~natty1_amd64.deb from xorg-edgers.

please run the ironhide-bugreport utility...

MrMEEE commented 13 years ago

did you run the bugreport utility???

andaag commented 13 years ago

I hadn't had time to do it yet. I've run it now.

This is installing the latest nvidia driver, then ironhide (as ironhide pulls an old driver for me).

MrMEEE commented 13 years ago

Please try to run the configuration again...

then do:

ls -la /etc/alternatives

That's apt-get install ironhide dpkg -i nvidia*deb to pull the nvidia debs compatible with my card. sudo ironhide-configure

andaag commented 13 years ago

Gah, this might be a conflict between mesa outside xorg-edgers and nvidia-current in it.

Trying to reinstall mesa I get this error with nvidia-current installed: update-alternatives: error: alternative link /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules is already managed by x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf.

Do you get any errors if you rerun the configuration??
