Nvidia / Nouveau Failing [SOLVED]
Using a dual-VGA nVidia Corporation NV17GL [Qaudro NVS] (rev a3) card.
Followed the instructions in the beginner's guide to install Nouveau drivers, but when I 'startx' I get:
http://gmjones.org/tv/IMAG0138.jpg
The log reads:
http://gmjones.org/tv/Xorg.0.log
Looking like a driver problem!
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Thanks.

I still can't launch a desktop, so no fgrab.
Well, that's the point: you don't need a desktop for this.
However, glad your X is up!

Do you have any idea of what should be done to fix it? I don't want to use NVIDIA driver from their site neither nouveau, I want to use the one from the repo. If you know how to solve it, instead of only pointing the solution, also tell why this is happening, it will help me and other people with the same problem too!
If you need additional information please ask me.
Thanks!!

About the lib32-nvidia-utils, I just installed because it's written in the wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA#Installing: "Note: On 64 bit systems, For 32-bit programs to take advantage of nvidia-utils you must also install the equivalent lib32 package (for example lib32-nvidia-utils)." -
Xorg-config isn't yet, trying nVidia-nouveau, on a desktop machine...
Ok, I'm newbie on 'Arch', but fairly seasoned on Debian-family (MEPIS,sidux), and on openSUSE.
Gotta admit, I am really LIKING this low-level installer, as a means to 'test' my Linux knowledge to date.
But, it's certainly a *slower* way to get KDE-4 running, by having to manually hack on all the individual
/etc/<yada>/yada.conf files using 'nano', rather than just boot a LiveCD all the way into run-level-5 in
one fell swoop, run a GUI-based installer, specify a username/password, and be running
KDE-4 20 minutes later!
But, I'm not complaining.
Let's see...where am I?
Got the basic (run-level-3) system installed to a hard-drive partition, using my existing /home partition.
[Had one small glitch to get ethernet to DHCP-acquire an IP-addr...had to "hook <some-conf?>", so
I could add 'nameserver 192.168.0.1' into 'resolv.conf' (or whatever it's name is) and get that to stick.
So, net-access works. Was then able to do whatever else that basic-install manual said...told it to
configure me nVidia-nouveau, by creating the '20-nouveau.conf'. Rebooted, as directed. (Several times now.)
Tried 'Xorg -configure'. It fails with:
1: [drm] No DRICreatePCIBusID symbol.
2: Num created screens does not match num of detected devices.
EDIT: Oh, did read that I could grab an existing xorg.conf from another distro, but
that would be cheating, eh?
That's the one blocking getting to run-level-5.
I did 'jump ahead' and installed KDE-4, but of course, till I make Xorg happy, that's really not
gonna do me much good.
So, in addition to advice on configuring Xorg, one other 'forest-for-the-trees question':
Is there a higher-level (GUI-based) approach to installing Arch, rather than using 'netinstall'?
(I did notice that other kit, recommended for 'people with unreliable networks', but that
didn't sound like me.)
TIA...
Last edited by cookdav (2010-12-03 23:11:04)I agree with 'some like the control of cmd-line, to achieve non-default settings', but I'd argue that
doing the installation using a LiveCD like Chakra OUGHT to allow the 'same' choices and flexibility
that the cmd-line method does.
However, in my view, the 'cmd-line' approach seemed to leave out actually forcing (guiding the
user thru a script that causes 'sound' and 'wifi' pre-requisites to actually get installed)! (The
'netcfg' package is a prime example.) Instead, the user follows a written document (e.g. either
'basic' or 'complete' arch manuals, which mention subjects like 'sound' and 'wifi', but then do
NOT even detect presence of 'wifi-adapter' or 'sound' hardware, etc. In other words, if
ANY wifi-hardware is detected, the 'netcfg' package should get installed, but clearly doesn't.
Rather, it relies on the person installing to somehow know/determine that they need to
manually install 'netcfg' (as well as then manually hunt-down their firmware, etc).
Whereas, the 'Chakra' (GUI) approach at least makes an attempt (e.g. causes 'netcfg' to
get installed transparently), easing the learning curve.
That said, the negative of the guided/GUI approach is that the person installing does NOT
then learn/understand precisely WHAT STEPS got executed for them, and thus learns very
little of what packages and what config-files need to be examined/modified to carry
out those various steps. As I result, while I'm convinced that SUCCESSFUL 'arch' owners/users
become some of the most knowledgeable users in the details of Linux configuration,
I'm left wondering just what per-cent of newbies who first TRY Linux via 'arch',
end up succeeding with it, versus either giving up on Linux or wandering off to some
other distro that has a more scripted/automated installer.
(i.e. an install-script/GUI that tries to get them up-and-running with minimal fuss, and allows them
to LATER absorb the details, via future updates/maintenance glitches/issues.).
In other words, after my 5-10 years of Linux experience, I was surprised how much I had to
struggle, to get a working laptop-with-wifi installation. In a word, I 'failed' the test that
arch provided me, and felt I had to resort to Chakra, to meet the other goal of getting
that laptop up-and-running with sound and wifi and xserver working. But, maybe that's
just a reflection of our modern society's push into the "instant-gratification" direction?
Thanks to ALL who have participated in this thread, for their guidance! As I mentioned,
I'm both humbled and more knowledgeable than I was when I started on the 'arch'
journey, just a few short days ago.
As I mentioned in the base-post, I came to 'arch' to LEARN something, and to TEST my
Linux knowledge,and I met those goals. That said, I found it disconcerting that the manual(s)
that I read seemed to gloss over such fundamental things as not mentioning the
need to install 'netcfg' and not-resulting in some flavor of sound-support being put in place.

Simple compare condition fails [Solved: Bug 4619731]
Edit: I have found the root of the problem, and Simple compare condition fails [Solved: Bug 4619731]. I have opened a Service Request 7045745.993 on the problem.
Original text:
I have encountered the most bizarre bug today. An associate is trying to debug a 1900 line package that was NOT terminating a loop properly.
The package has the code:
Exit when x <> y;where x and y are VARCHAR2(8) variables.
The problem is that even though the values were UNequal, the loop never ended. We added dbms_output debugging code to display x and y, and we could easily see that their values were NOT equal.
For instance, one was 19824E1A and the other was 19824E2A. Or one was 19824E1A while the other was 99999999.
I even added a block of code re-testing the condition like this:
If x <> y then
dbms_output.put_line(x||'<>'||y);
Else
dbms_output.put_line(x||'='||y);
End if;But no matter what the values of x and y, it always reported them equal.
I found two workarounds:
1. concatenate a character (I used a period) to the end of each variable in the condition.
Exit when x||'.' <> y||'.'2. Or, add an anonymous block before or after the Exit when..., such as:
Declare
v varchar2(2);
Begin
v := 'AB';
End;Curiously, when I replaced the v := 'AB'; with NULL;, the bug came back.
This bug occurs on Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0
I am not sure where to start to try to solve or report this problem. It pretty much destabilizes the entire PL/SQL programming foundation for all our packages. It leaves me wondering where else the code may be failing.
Has anyone seen something like this reported before?
Edited by: Steve Cosner on Aug 27, 2008 10:05 PMNo offense taken, SY. I was just trying to express how aware I am of the issue of comparing null values in condition statements.
All I can do here is underscore that it is not an issue with null values. The problem is with the statement in the first line. To prove that it was not null values, I coded the second line following the first:
exit when x <> y;
dbms_output.put_line('x='||x ||' and y='||y);The output from the run showed in the first pass through the loop, x and y were equal and were not null. So the process ran correctly that time. But in subsequent passes through the loop, they were NOT equal and were not null, but the debugging code was executed.
There is no way the values were null.
I certainly wondered about the null issue when I concatenated a character to the variables in the conditional test. But my debugging lines first confirmed that they were not null. I suspect more that the bug has something to do with the size of the package and the variables being exactly eight characters, which is 64 bits, which has special significance in many computer languages.
Regarding your concern of the variable names and scope issues, the actual variable names in the actual code can be seen below (I just used x and y for simplicity within this thread):
LOOP
EXIT WHEN V_LAST_PERIOD <>
SIPK0003.COURSE_ADJUST_REC.ACAD_REC_PERIODwhile the silly anonymous block that caused the process to work, using the variable named v, was the actual code. There is no way we use simple one-character variable names in a 1900 line package. There is no way the scope of variable V extended outside the embedded anonymous block. My point was that somehow, changing the size of the compiled package object, or at least the size of the code generated for the loop process caused the package to run correctly. In fact, thinking about the
Declare V... Begin Null; End; sequence, I'll bet the PL/SQL compiler is sharp enough to notice that it was a do-nothing block, so never included it in the compiled object. As soon as I assigned V a value, the code WAS included, so the size of the generated code for the loop changed, and somehow, that caused it to run correctly.
Regarding the use of the package.record.column value above, we even copied the value to a local variable, and then used the local variable in the Exit When statement. Doing that made no difference. -
[SOLVED] No 3D Acceleration on nvidia (nouveau)
I'm having some issues with the 3D acceleration here. I'm trying to get gnome-shell to start but it goes into fallback mode. It appears to be an issue with driver or xorg configuration.
I went through all of the Beginner's guide on the wiki, and from that I did the Gnome 3 guide. Well, actually first I tried to install the nvidia driver but it wasn't compatible (which I later read on arch mainsite under news) so I installed the nouveau driver + nouveau-dri, did the configuration needed and rebooted.
As I finally tried to do startx I got into fallback mode only of gnome3. It says no hardware 3D support is available.
.xinitrc: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/374112/
/var/log/Xorg.0.log: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/374113/
I don't have any xorg.conf at the moment as it said in the beginner's guide it wan't needed. I put the 20-nouveau.conf and all that where it should be.
(Aditionally after I updated the system from a clean arch install and installed xorg and rebooted arch gets stuck on udev on the init script for about 3-4 minutes before going on. Should I try this one?)

My graphics card is a GTX 460, if there's any more info I should provide please let me know. Thanks.

GTX 460 is a nv0 card and looking in http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix you'll see that for nv0 you need external firmware

http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallDRM#Firmware to see how to extract the firmware.
Why are you not using nvidia driver?

[Solved] Nvidia module fails to load on lastest kernel (3.6.7-1-ARCH)
Hi there!
I have just updated my desktop PC yesterday, as I normally do every week (yaourt -Syu --aur), and today when I rebooted my Xorg refuses to load.
I've checked the logs, etc, and I think there's a problem with the nvidia module. In fact, I can't even modprobe it.
I've googled for hours, but I can't find any solution out there...
Here you have the log: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1732176/Xorg.0.log
Any hint will be appreciated...
Thanks in advance ^^

[Solved] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module
So, I did an arch base install today, rebooted and after that, basicly I
added kdemod to pacman.conf,
updated pacman,
rewrote pacman.conf (/mirrorlist),
pacman -Syu,
pacman -S kdemod,
pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit,
pacman -S nvidia (removed libgl; 7600GT),
wrote xorg.conf.
now when I startx:

(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
I tried reinstalling kernel26, nvidia, didn't work.
EDIT: reinstalled nvidia, worked after reboot.
* Also shutdown, modprobe.. is gone (command not found). So I pacmaned -S coreutils,
* which replaced mktemp with core/coreutils, didn't help.
* EDIT: `su -' solved that
not a clue, help needed,
thanks

edit2: recently replied on a similar thread, user used hwd -xa to generate a xorg.conf, then used aticonfig --initial... to generate a xorg.conf. this resulted in duplicate config entries.
try this.
reinstall xorg-server, nvidia. reboot. run `sudo nvidia-xconfig` only, then move the resulting file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. then try startx

[SOLVED] stuck at Target Reached Graphical Interface @ Nvidia/Nouveau
i'm kind of new to linux and specifically to arch, so pls be gentle. i just did a fresh install, all went fine, but here's one thing i'm unable to sort out. i've been having a hard time for a couple of hours now getting the right driver and the necessary configurations for my nvidia card. i went through a number of threads, none provided too much help, so here it is. whenever i try to use the proprietary nvidia drivers, the boot process gets stuck at the
Target Reached Graphical User Interface
message. i decided to try nouveau then, so i remove the nvidia packages, delete xorg.conf, install the nouveau packages, create 20-nouveau.conf with the content of
Section "Device"
Identifier "Default nvidia Device"
Driver "nouveau"
EndSection
reboot, but it results in the same phenomenon. from this point on i have to delete 20-nouveau.conf to even get to the login screen. there's no nomodeset in the kernel options by the way.
only the open source vesa drivers seem to work so far. i'm clueless about this one.
(i'm using external monitor @ DVI for my notebook.)

Last edited by wootsgoinon (2013-11-03 12:51:44)ok, if someone reads this, here's what i figured: realised that i didn't need neither xorg.conf, nor 20-nouveau.conf in the first place in order either driver to be utilized by bumbleebee. if you did nvidia-xconfig or manually created xorg.conf and/or 20-nouveau.conf and encountered the same issue described above as a result, just remove it/them. one trivia about bumblebee - maximum gpu performance gained by the primus render bridge.

Can't get into my DE anymore after nvidia/nouveau switch + other stuff
I made a mess of things, and I'd very much like to get my system back into a normal state. Here's a brief history of important events:
(1) About 2 weeks ago after a system update, I couldn't log into Gnome via GDM anymore (see topic). Thankfully I could still get into Gnome via 'startx', so I stuck with that for a while. Busy time, and no real fix was forthcoming.
(2) About 4 days ago after a system update, that didn't work anymore either. (Both monitors would just stay black, but with a thick white bar on the left side of the right monitor.)
(3) I switched from binary nvidia drivers to nouveau, in the hope that that would fix things. It did, sort of. I could use startx again, but my display would now freeze after a short time of use, with many nouveau related errors in dmesg. My bug report to freedesktop.org about this is most comprehensive.
I really need a functional PC right now. Short of an actual fix, I'd love to just roll back everything to the state it was a month ago or so. But no luck there either.
(4) I installed the nvidia drivers again, uninstalled the nouveau stuff, set my system to query the Arch Rollback Machine for a month ago, and did a `pacman -Syyuu --force`. GDM still doesn't work, nor does startx. Using startx, I get the following 'Xorg.0.log' (I remember getting the same errors during my earlier messing about):

can you try with another Display manager like lightdm see if that works ?
I might try that, though now that I finally have my PC back I have some other work that takes priority for a few days. :-)
Malkymder wrote:And yes xorg.conf should be replaced with /etc/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf instead
I'm using `nvidia-xconfig` to generate that file (I haven't had to tinker with it manually for years now).
The tool generates this 'deprecated' file. Should I just move its exact content to the new location? -
Cannot load nvidia driver module [SOLVED]
OK so for some reason I can no longer load the nvidia (proprietary) driver.
I have a laptop with optimus, on board intel and discrete nvidia GTX680M. I use this laptop for cuda development so I don't care about games etc, I just need the driver loaded to debug and run my cuda apps. bbswitch still works fine as does bumblebee which I don't use normally but I do have it setup and running in case. Also I didn't really work much on coding last week so not sure exactly when this started.
So here is what happens when I try to insert the nvidia module or use optirun:
$ sudo modprobe nvidia
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': No such device
$ sudo insmod nvidia
insmod: ERROR: could not load module nvidia: No such file or directory

I'm not willing to give up and install/build the drivers from the cuda SDK just yet so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Last edited by tim (2013-10-02 08:20:49)So in simple terms, the fix invovled ensuring the nvidia module is loaded before the bbswitch module. I'm not sure about the necessity of the things that follow but the fix may possibly also require removing bumblebee and possibly requires removing nvidia from repos and building the driver downloaded from nvidia.
This fix could be completely unrelated to the problems I was having with arch but I cannot verify the fix on arch specifically cos I installed every distro under the sun trying to get it all working and I got it to work on a non arch distro.
So... I'm not sure if I should really mark this a solved because I haven't/can't verify it on arch and technically the solution involved changing to another distro but in fact, I know it has absolutely nothing to do with arch since I saw the same behaviour on 3 other distros. If I have time, I will reinstall arch and verify but for the moment, I have a lot of work to catch up on now that I have a working nvidia driver I can actually use for dev
Anyway, what I think is going on is there is some bizarre issue with bbswitch that stops the nvidia driver from being found because on the current distro I have installed, if I have no bbswitch, no bumblebee and no nvidia modules loaded or services running etc. I can modprobe the nvidia driver and all works fine. I can then modprobe the bbswitch driver and that works too. IF I modprobe the bbswitch driver first and then modprobe the nvidia driver, I get this error that says the nvidia module cant be found. The location it prints is in some updates directory whcih is odd too because I installed from nvidia source and never installed updates at all and made sure that there were absolutely no repo nvidia drivers or updates etc.

Linux 3.9.2-1 lockups (nVidia + nouveau)
With the recent update from Linux 3.8.11-1 to Linux 3.9.2-1, upon restart my computer would lock up after roughly 5 minutes and the CPU and/or GPU fan (couldn't tell which) started to spin up very fast a few seconds before hand. As soon as I downgraded to Linux 3.8.11-1, everything started to work again.
I am running an nVidia card (7950 I believe) and the nouveau drivers.
Has anyone experience a similar situation, and how can I get some more debug info to help resolve this?
Last edited by AlexC_ (2013-05-13 10:01:41)I do, with the official nVidia driver, however it seems to be fixed disabling the nVidia card with bbswitch (I'm on an Optimus Laptop, Dell L502X)
However, for some reason mplayer won't work. When I try to play a video, it crashes right away, and I see a kernel error in dmesg

I installed Arch linux with LXDE and LXDM on a USB flashdrive with xf86-video-intel. The installation works all right on one computer but not on another which has nvidia graphics card. On this computer, on booting, there is text screen with login prompt, rather than the usual LXDM login screen. On logging and typing startx or startlxde here, there are messages regarding xorg errors and screens not found. I tried to install xf86-video-nouveau, but it wants to remove xorg-server. On responding yes to the removal of xorg-server, pacman reports that it is unable to remove it since libgl and lxdm depend on it. I need LXDM for this installation.
Please point me to the correct direction regarding how to solve this problem. I tried checking nouveau wiki page but it says xorg should be properly installed before installing nouveau. I do not have nomodeset or vga= as a kernel parameter.
Please help. Thanks in advance.

I'm 99% sure i did, i think it's even mentioned in one of the guides.
Anyway i think this case will have to be closed for further discussion because the reason for this issue-thread
was the fact that my brother (living in another country) couldn't get his graphics to start up and i remotely helped him (he tried starting X, obviously) and I acted as the support.
However he droped ArchLinux (as is) for Manjaro (which worked beautifully with Xface off the bat, so my guess is that i missed something in the setup because running on my Dell ArchLinux runs perfect).l -
Black screen - Xorg/GDM config - Nvidia Optimus? [solved]
Hi!
I have a Samsung RC539 S09, which has got an Nvidia Optimus graphics card, I want a graphical Xserver on that machine. Therefore I followed the wiki and installed the Nvidia stuff (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA). I did not configure anything jet. I also installed the Xorg stuff and kept the config default (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg). Then I did nvidia-xconfig:

What does that mean? - No devices detected - can refer to these Nvidia Optimus stuff, where there's some ondemand switching for graphics acceleration afaik. I'm not sure how to solve my issue. So at this point could need some help
Best,

I have optimus and I see both cards, Intel and nVidia.
What do you see?
If you install xf86-video-intel instead of nvidia driver, does it work then? (backup & remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf then)
I had to disable optimus and switch to my dedicated nVidia graphics card in bios in order to make nvidia driver work.
Now I'm using intel with bumblebee (optimus support for linux) & optimus enabled in bios, and bumblebee loads proprietary nvidia drivers when required.
But I also have a thinkpad t510, I don't know if bumblebee works with your device.
cheers, kulpae

Systemd-remount-fs.service fails [SOLVED]

Warning: Journal has been rotated since unit was started. Log output is incomplete or unavailable.
I have no idea why this is happening, or what to do to try and fix it - any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Following is the information I think is necessary for assistance:
Note that I have /usr on a separate partition, which I suspect is possibly involved in the issue somehow.
Here's my fstab:
[root@anton ~]# cat /etc/fstab
# /dev/sda5
#UUID=a09ff37e-ce60-4173-b95a-4b71a53c01d3 / ext4 defaults,rw,noatime,discard,data=writeback 0 1

# /dev/sda8
UUID=3dff3fa5-3291-4227-907a-258f12e1b3cf /home ext4 defaults,rw,relatime,discard 0 2
Here's the relevant output from mount (note that my root (sda5) partition is not being mount with the options I specified in fstab):
[root@anton ~]# mount | grep sda
/dev/sda5 on / type ext4 (ro,relatime,data=ordered)
/dev/sda6 on /usr type ext4 (rw,noatime,discard,data=writeback)

Last edited by corey_s (2012-12-02 08:57:35)Thanks for the quick response, WonderWoofy ( by the way, great username! )!
When I removed or modified the the mount options in the bootloader kernel command line, there was no change to the status of the fs after boot-up. I had changed it at one point from 'ro', to 'rw'; but doing so had no affect on the output of the mount command.
However, I did finally identify the cause: turns out if I specify 'data=writeback', in fstab for the root partition, then systemd-remount-fs.service fails, as per my OP - leaving me with a 'ro'-mounted root filesystem. Simply removing that, or changing it to 'data=ordered', solved the issue: when I rebooted, the root partition was mounted as per my fstab config.
So, my fstab now looks like this:
# /dev/sda5
UUID=a09ff37e-ce60-4173-b95a-4b71a53c01d3 / ext4 rw,noatime,discard 0 1
# /dev/sda6
UUID=f4ab3551-c4f8-4e77-97bb-cc754c81af24 /usr ext4 defaults,ro,noatime,discard,data=writeback 0 0
# /dev/sda7
UUID=c8d2776b-faaa-4a9d-ad49-4b09489faaaa /var ext4 defaults,rw,noatime,discard 0 2
# /dev/sda8
UUID=3dff3fa5-3291-4227-907a-258f12e1b3cf /home ext4 defaults,rw,relatime,discard 0 2
... and all is now well.
I'll mark this as solved, but I'll also ask: why does specifying 'data=writeback' on my root partition cause the systemd-remount-fs.service to fail? Any experts out there know?
