[Bug 741930] Re: [natty] nvidia binary packages for older cards - dependencies not met
Added note to comment #103: Unity is now working with that NV25GL [Quadro4 900 XGL] and 96.43.20-0ubuntu1~natty1. It's a little wonkey as the left panel sidebar doesn't hide when a window should cause the sidebar to hide. But it is working. Thought that perhaps it is due to my install of unity-2d, so I purged unity-2d* and restarted the system (soft-boot). Now having issues with gdm (virtualbox 'Shared Memory Available' halt) so having to use login in Recovery mode startx to start. Purged virtualbox rebooted. gdm works again. Can start from the gdm screen, choose 'Unity' and 'Ubuntu Classic' starts. Compiz settings are screwed up, so I reset them to those of #103 (Desktop Cube, Rotate Cube, etc., has been unset. Window- decorator is crashing. Very odd. The odd part is that I was able to get Unity (standard not 2D working) via Recovery mode, so this indicates that the issue _may_ be with Unity/Compiz setup configs. I'll have to try to troubleshoot more tomorrow; in the interim, perhaps Alberto can have a look give me some logs/tests that I can do tomorrow? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/741930 Title: [natty] nvidia binary packages for older cards - dependencies not met To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nvidia-drivers-ubuntu/+bug/741930/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Alberto: I think your point would be very valid if the hardware that was very old too. But in Lucid, I got full 3D effects using the nvidia-173 driver, in Maverick, I had to downgrade to nvidia-96, and in Natty, there's seems to be no way to get 3D neither in Ubuntu Classic or Unity. Maybe I'm spoilt but I've actually gotten used to Linux and Ubuntu supporting older hardware (also older than this) and and I don't like the thought of ripping out my perfectly functional GeForce 7300 to save me a second of boot time since it's anyway never going to work with my favourite OS again.

I've purged other nvidia stuff, added Cedric's PPA, and installed nvidia-96 successfully. I've set gl_conf to auto, reconfigured nvidia-96, and run sudo nvidia-xconfig. As far as I can see,everything should now be OK but still, I get no 3D effects or Unity support. Either, I'm doing something wrong, or the new driver doesn't cut it for me.

[Bug 741930] Re: [natty] nvidia binary packages for older cards - dependencies not met
I have now tested a bit Cedrick Schieli's Nvidia-96 driver in Natty and it seems mostly to work OK, BUT: Now I have a problem with changing workspaces (bottom right corner of the screen). When clicking one of the squares, I may get a new workspace or not and if I do, the number of the workspace may be any one of the four even when clicking the same square. Also changing to a new workspace doesn't go smoothly - it seems Ubuntu is trying several times to show the new screen before it succeeds (if it does at all). The display flickers back and forth between workspaces several times before settling to one of them - not necessarily the one I wanted. Also sometimes the whole Ubuntu freezes when trying to change workspaces - even the cursor doesn't move. The only way out then is to turn the power off from the computer. Now, I cannot tell if this is because of the new driver, or does something else cause it, but this started after installation of Cedrick's software. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/741930 Title: [natty] nvidia binary packages for older cards - dependencies not met To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nvidia-drivers-ubuntu/+bug/741930/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 741930] Re: [natty] nvidia binary packages for older cards - dependencies not met
Cedric, thanks for the tip about purging xorg-edgers ppa. (ppa-purge didn't actually downgrade the packages, but I marked them all manually and downgraded them.) It worked, and I have the nvidia driver working properly on reboot. The only thing wrong that I can see is that Jockey says, No proprietary drivers are in use on this system, and doesn't give the option to switch to a non-proprietary driver.

[Bug 741930] Re: [natty] nvidia binary packages for older cards - dependencies not met
If people really want progress, the Ubuntu devs have nothing to do with it at the moment. nvidia-96 is the proprietary driver from Nvidia. Until Nvidia releases a xorg 1.10 compatible version (as they have for 2xx+ and 173 series, Ubuntu can't really do anything (that I know of) except providing some sort of alternate older version of xorg, which would probably create a huge number of problems. So, contact Nvidia if you want progress. After they release the driver, THEN it's up to the Ubuntu devs to get it packaged for Ubuntu. All that being said...I wish Nvidia would hurry up with that driver, I want 11.04 working for me as well! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/741930 Title: [natty] nvidia binary packages for older cards - dependencies not met -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 741930] Re: [natty] nvidia binary packages for older cards - dependencies not met
I guess Hurry up! comments won't help. If there are only a handful of people in the world suffering from this bug, I guess its priority will remain low, no matter how much we will complain (or cry... or break furniture...). I guess there must be some way to pay canonical for the support of the nvidia-96 driver, but this problem happened twice in a row, meaning it is quite probable the next version will have the same issue *again*: Won't our money better spent by buying a supported nvidia or ATI (or whatever) board? Still, I would like some questions answered by the maintainers (or whatever people are handling this case) : - 1. Will the nvidia-96 issue be corrected for the current version - 2. Is there a way to upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 while still keeping the 10.10 X.Org/nvidia-96/whatever? - 3. Is the nvidia-96 driver considered obsolete, which would mean the middle/long term solution would be to upgrade our graphic card ? (suggestions are welcome) - 4. Is it possible to enhance the Ubuntu Upgrade process to tell the user about drivers obsolescence ? (being surprised by having one's system break down after the upgrade is NOT cool).

It would be nice if the do you want to upgrade window wouldn't come up until a nvidia-96 driver is available. I upgraded my Mythbuntu system because it kept periodically putting the do you want to upgrade window on my screen. Because I don't really have a mouse hooked up to my system, I have to go to another system to run xvncviewer to get rid of the upgrade window. I eventually upgraded to get rid of the window.

Re: [Bug 741930] Re: [natty] nvidia binary packages for older cards - dependencies not met
I'd say a simpler but still useful thing would be to make sure that if some hardware isn't compatible at the time of release because a proprietary driver is required (and that's the situation here - Unity doesn't work on Nouveau), then a big, red note of that should be made in the release notes prompt encouraging for upgrade, so that people can wait until Nvidia or any other vendor provides updated driver. Alternatively, the upgrading script should warn user about such incompatibilities at the start of the process, allowing them to easily cancel.

I installed the updated driver from NVIDIA's web pages as it was claimed to support xorg-server 1.10. However, it seems that the X server still loads the Noveau routine and I don't know how to prevent that. So no luck for me.

[Bug 741930] Re: [natty] nvidia binary packages for older cards - dependencies not met
I got this too. Didn't notice it before install as running from the Live, it couldn't run unity anyway. I've always had to install proprietary drivers anyway before having any serious eyecandy so expected things to work out after doing that. That being said, when going from Lucid to Natty, I had to go back from nvidia-173 that I used before to nvidia-96 to get things working. Now, if I mark nvidia-96 for install in Synaptic, it threatens to remove my entire Xorg. Why's it even there if it breaks your system?
