Nvidia problems: Xorg flickering and restarts

Hi,
after upgrading my laptop which has a nVidia Quadro FX1800 built-in (G94 / GT215GLM chipset I believe) I ran into problems over problems.
The latest nvidia drivers no longer support my card, so I installed the nvidia-340xx series packages (core driver, -libgl, -utils, lib32 variants).
After restarting I noticed the nvidia logo showing up 2 or 3 times, but then finally started up.
Everytime the screen changes I got a lot of flickering (screen going black for fractions of a second) and after a few seconds I was back at the nvidia logo - the X session just restarted.
My next attempt fixing this was going to linux-lts, which I installed together with nvidia-304xx-lts. After a reboot I thought that fixed the problem, but after half a minute I experienced the same bullsh** behaviour again.
The issue is extremely bad, starting xterm and running dmesg immediately leads to a Xorg restart, nautilus lives for about a minute, firefox won't even start.
The machine is absolutely unusable.
The problem occurs with linux 3.17(.3) as well as 3.14(.25) lts.
The X logs don't show any errors/problems, but dmesg reveals something's definitely broken here:

lspci reveals that the PCI device at 0000:00:03.0 is the nvidia card.
What can I do to fix the problem?
Does anyone have experience with nouveau on a Quadro FX1800? What can I expect to work, what not and how's the performance?
I'm so glad I got a Haswell with Intel graphics for my Desktop right now...
I desperately hope anyone here can help me sort this out.

At the very beginning I thought it's just 340xx issue (there are already some threads here on forum or this on devtalk: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topi … x-ubunt/2/) but it's really strange you have problems with 304xx - according to 304 Supported Devices your FX1800 should be handled fine.this Supported Devices section.
After splitting to nvidia and nvidia-340xx I had to downgrade to nvidia-304xx - because of monitor detection issues I couldn't use version 340 (Quadro NVS 140M).
Some solution is available here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p1478277

RAM Problems after update and Restart. 3 beeps with led. Memories and Slots work alone, but together the problem continues.

I make some updates and restart my Macbook Pro, and the screen became Grey with 3 beeps with Led.
I read it could be the RAM memory. So I opened it and tried to reconected them.. but the problem continues.. So I asume it was one of the memories or one of the Slots... But when I tried them separetly all the Slots and memories worked... But togheter the problems continues.
Any suggestion?
The Mac worked perfect! There where just some updates...and before the restart, a pop up appeared saying that the updates could not be done because of an error... after that... the restart, the grey screen, and the 3 beeps with 3 leds.
Thanks and sorry for the bad english!
PS: Its 2008 so no warranty.
Hernan.

Have you tried putting back the original memory and seeing if that works?
Also if you could tell us the mode of the MBP, how much memory was in it and what you are upgrading to it would help.

Hi ..
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
If nothing above has helped, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

Redhat linux 6 VM - stop and restart

Hi,
I've installed new HVM - Redhat Linux 6, standard installation. I have the problem with stop and restart initiated from the OVM console. Job is running, but the OS inside VM doesn't start the shutdown process.
For example another VM running Oracle Linux 6 works. The same problem is with the restart and live migration - both works for Oracle Linux, but redhat no.
Do you have an idea what are the requirements for stopping and restarting the VM from OVM console?

DN,
I take all your questions, don't I?
Anyhow, this command adds your Report Server to the Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server's (opmn) and Enterprise Control:
$OH/bin/addNewServerTarget.sh reports_server_name
After that your Reports server will be started and stopped whenever you issue "opmnctl startall / stopall". Issue a opmnctl reload after running that script, or opmnctl restart.
You can also start and stop it individual with: (the choice is yours)
opmnctl startproc ias-component=reports_server_name
opmnctl stopproc ias-component=reports_server_name
opmnctl startproc process-type=reports_server_name
opmnctl stopproc process-type=reports_server_name
Check status with:
opmnctl status

Finder Crashing and Restarting

I've been having problems with Finder and restarting randomly. The latest happened when right clicking on an app and then "Show Package Contents".

It seems that the new Stuffit Deluxe 11.0.2 is causing the problem with finder crashing and restarting.
There is a fix available here:

Xorg fails to restart with nvidia propertiary driver

Hi!
Dear fellow archers, I've got this little problem which is driving me crazy: after first successful start of xorg while booting ("kdm" is in the DAEMONS list in rc.conf), i can't get to start it once again (for example with "/etc/rc.d/kdm restart"). When I try to do this screen goes blank (+ single underscore in top-left corner) for ~10 seconds, then nvidia logo shows up for half a second, and finally it failbacks to terminal.
I use thinkpad T61 with nvidia quadro nvs 140m and nvidia driver version 190.42 (from extra repo).
Thanks in advance for all suggestions.

I don't think the 190 driver is intended for the quadro M series. As per the nvidia site, the 100 or 169 drivers support your video card.
edit: You might also try the nouveau driver.
Well, this quadro is almost identical to geforce 8400GS, so I don't think nvidia site is up to date in this respect. Besides, other than this issue everything works just fine. It is just annoying to be forced to reboot everytime I have to restart X. And I need nvidia propertiary driver, because I use opencl.
Thats odd then. I have an 8400gs and am using the beta driver without any issues. Give the legacy driver a try once.
Exit the gui (ctrl+alt+f1)
Remove the current driver
pacman -Rd nvidia nvidia-utils
(replace with nvidia-beta nvidia-utils-beta if you switched to the beta driver)
Now install the legacy driver
pacman -S nvidia-173xx nvidia-173xx-utils
Reboot
Hope this helps.

I have just updated to Yosemite, but now I can't get the custom shortkeys to work. In Mavericks I had no problem whatsoever, but now even after googeling and restart no solution. Does anyone have the problem? All the other shortcuts work!

Hi Thomas,
I can confirm the problem you are hitting. The XML test trace does not get recognized at all, and it defaults to Eclipse's basic Open File behaviour. I am not sure if it's because the format definition is missing, or if it's because something prevents the trace type from being recognized. I will open a bug about it.
Thanks for identifying this issue!
In the meantime, if you'd like to experiment with XML analyses, you can also take a look at the example at https://github.com/tracecompass/xml-analysis-example .
Cheers,
Alex

I tries and it doesnt work!!

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
I have tried the reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keyes pressed.
No change.

Massive artifacts, redraw and performance problems: xorg 1.8 and Intel

Hi there.
Since the update to xorg-server 1.8 my intel GMA950 powered lap top is seriously acting up.
*Performance has dropped significantly, Games or compiz run slower than before
*Font drawing is sometimes garbled, sometimes not
*Some windows or parts of windows (sometimes only the decorations) show artifacts
*Drawing of fonts while typing is delayed by 1 or more characters sometimes
It might be related to this bug or the problem described in this thread.
Just look at this screenshot:
I tired moving xorg.conf, I tried running compiz with --indirect-rendering, I tried all kinds of options in xorg.conf and all but it just remains broken like this. Has anyone got similar problems and a solution?

I've been having the same issue but not to the extent of the OP.
I read the man for intel
man intel
and added these three lines to my xorg.conf
Option "XvPreferOverlay" "false"
Option "SwapbuffersWait" "false"
Option "Tiling" "false" #{edit: after doing some testing I found tiling made no differnece so I ended up commenting it out}
The first option I added because the man says
The overlay
behaves incorrectly in the presence of compositing, but some
prefer it due to it syncing to vblank in the absence of com‐
positing
I use compiz ergo i have compositing and I noticed my video tearing and skipping sometimes. Seems to work fine now (more testing will be required)
The second option I added because the man says
Note that when enabled, this option can
adversely affect the framerate of applications that render
frames at less than refresh rate.
I have a hunch compiz probably isn't rendering at the refresh rate and also video would be rendered at less than my vert refresh of 60. So I disabled it.
The third and last option I added was because the man says
In most cases (especially for complex rendering),
tiling dramatically improves performance.
Well this may be a case where it doesn't and the posters above have noticed improvements. {edit: after doing some testing I found this made no differnece so I ended up commenting it out}
In the end moving windows around the screen do not tear anymore and my video is smoother. I enabled all three at once so it maybe that one or a combination of 2 or possibly all 3 resulted in change. I suspect I will do some more testing but hopefully this is a place to start fro some of you having this issue.

The screen on my MacBook has been flickering and shaking up and down. It starts flickering, shaking, gets 'pixelated,' then eventually begins to fade to white and freezes. Restarting sometimes helps, but only temporarily. Why is this? How can I fix it?

The screen on my MacBook has just started flickering and shaking up and down while I am using it. The screen starts flickering, shaking, gets pixelated, begins to freeze, and eventually fades to white. Why is it doing this? How can I fix it?
It is a newer MacBook, just over 1 year. It is well cared for, hasn't been dropped, etc. I don't want to pay for expensive repairs for such a new computer, and I certainly can't afford a new one!
I've tried updating my system like the Support page suggested, but no improvement. The problem started just the other day, and is progressively getting worse.
.... as I typed this, it did it again. Only, this time it did not flicker and shake, but got 'pixelated' (pixels came up checkered-like darkened and lightened). It did this for about 2 minutes and then stopped after I did not touch the computer.... Now it is flickering... HELP!

it means that it is not a hardware issue. Other then that, Im not too sure. Sorry I can't help you any further, but Im sure others members of this forum will read your question and be able to help you. Good luck

I have a PC. I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes. My computer recognizes my iPad but itunes does not. I have deleted the itunes program, shut down my computer and restarted and then reinstalled itunes. I still have the same problem. Suggestions?

I have a PC. I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes. My computer recognizes my ipad but itunes does not. I have uninstalled itunes, shut down the computer and restarted plus reinstalled itunes. I visited the Apple store there is no problem with the iPad or the cord. I still have the same problem and am unable to sync when I plug in the iPad via the USB cord. Does anyone have further suggestions?

Try going into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTUnes, Apple mobile device service, apple application support. Then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if it'll work
If the computer sees your iPad you know the cable and connection is good, so the issue has to be software.

Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps. As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone. Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem. Specifically, the icons don't wiggle anymore.

Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps. As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone. Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem. Specifically, when I double-click the start button, my open app icons display. But when I hold my finger on an icon, the apps do not wiggle and display an "x" to close. Any advice... thanks?!

Double tap the Home button, then swop upwards on the App Preview (not the App Icon). Tap the Home button again when done to return to normal screen.
