Nvidia-settings getting resolution wrong (again)
some times after booting, the resolution of my screens (or 1 of them) will be wrong, i tried manualy editing the xorg file, and all that achieved was disabling me 2nd screen)
i dont think its too much to ask for to have a computer that wont randomly get the resolution wrong randomly?
any known fixes?
thanks Markp1989
I have a problem like this as well.
Using the NVIDIA driver both my monitors have the meta mode set to 1600x900 in xorg.conf.
However the first monitor displays at 1280x1024. It changed when I swapped round my monitors to different DVI ports on the graphics card. Previously, with exactly the same xorg.conf, both monitors displayed at 1600x900.
No xrandr support makes it hard to fix these things.
Here is my xorg.conf just in case:

Xorg 1.6, nvidia and screen resolutions
I just upgraded to xorg 1.6 from testing, including the nvidia drivers and kernel from testing. Everything is working great (and it fixed the libxi keyboard layout problems I was having), except that I can no longer select the screen resolution I want from the nvidia-settings application. The set of resolutions is very limited and I'm getting a horizontal stretch due to an incorrect aspect ratio.
I've tried manually adjusting the xorg.conf file after saving it in nvidia-settings, but it makes a mess of the file and I couldn't get it working. Does anybody know how to add screen resolutions into the nvidia-settings application?
Thank you!
DarinHappened to me with most recent 1.5 update, I downgraded back to previous one to get working again. And now same happened with 1.6, this time I downgrade again without any further testing until someone else gets it solved

Last edited by inukaze (2014-06-12 15:08:39)What DE are you using? (if any) I have a similar problem since the last Gnome 3.12, doesn't matter where I put the command "nvidia-settings --load-config-only" it just doesn't work. I have to either open the GUI or issue the command on the terminal for it to happen, I tried with ~/.config/autostart/ /etc/xdg/autostart/ with a .xprofile file, a .xinitrc, nothing works, I can't tell from where this problem originates. Other programs start just fine with the mentioned methods, then it must be something wrong with the way nvidia is invoked I guessing, a couple of months ago was working flawlessly.

Nvidia on T61p - resolution problems
Hardware: T61p, 16:10, 1920x1200 Pixel
Even with nvidia-settings, I can't change to 1920 resolution, I only get 1680x<something>. Even the framebuffer is only around this level (some lines are a bit strange).
I used nvidia-xconfig to write xorg.conf.Have you looked in your xorg.conf to see what resolutions nvidia-xconfig put in their?

I tried to log on my new ipad and forgot the password combination. Due to several tries the ipad is locked up. I remembered the password but my ipad is still disabled. How do I get it going again?
You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
This will tell you how to restore
iTunes: Backing up, updating or restoring iOS software
If you cannot restore that way, you may have to use recovery mode
iPad: Unable to update or restore -
Settings Get Zeroed out after File Export
I just noticed that out of a group of about 110 JPGs I was editing tonight, about 5 of them had their Develop Settings zeroed out after I exported the files.
Examples:
1. One file's Fill Light went from 14 to 0 after File Export.
2. Another file's Fill Light went from 17 to 0 after File Export.
3. Still another file's Black went from 3 to 0; its Brightness went from +5 to 0; it's Contrast went from -1 to 0....all 3 things on the same file zeroed out.
4. Still another file's Black went from 1 to 0, and its Contrast went from -3 to 0.
5. Another file was rotated by .28. After exporting, the rotation in the history went from .28 to 0.
One other problem I saw with at least 2 of these files (different than the 5 above), I had created virtual pictures for these 2 and exported them as TIFFs to Photoshop CS3. After the TIFF file was updated with CS3, it automatically was reimported to LR. There is no "Import" listed in the history, nor is there any "Created Virtual Copy" in the history.
I don't think I'm doing anything wrong; again, there have only been 5 out of about 110 JPGs for which as happened.I think I have that box checked, but I'm not sure where to find it. I seem to recall having checked something like this before, but, again, I just can't
seem to find where it is. I've checked in Preferences and do not see it, as well as other places.
Anyway, I do not export files to CS3 very often, but I know that every time I do, the edited file gets added back into the LR Catalog when I close out the file in Photoshop CS3. I typically export these files to CS3 keeping the LR adjustments.
I originally had this set of images sorted by File Name. I did that because within this set are pictures taken from 2 different cameras, with two completely different types of file names. I wanted only to work on the images from one camera at a time. While sorted by File Name, the edited file does get added to the Catalog, stacked upon the original file....so, yes, they are side by side.
I did try sorting by Capture Time, but that didn't make any difference.
Because my other problem of settings being zeroed out appeared to be "fixed," I was hoping this problem also would be fixed. But when I tried the same procedure as last night (only with the files sorted by Capture Time instead of by File Name), the same thing happens...there is no "Import" listed in the History panel.
What has been "fixed," however, is that for those few files that I made a Virtual Copy of, the History panel now shows "Create Virtual Copy." I did not do anything to these files. Perhaps the reboot of my computer fixed this. I really don't know.
As mentioned, I do not export files very often to CS3, so this problem may have always existed (not showing "Import").
Thanks for your reply....I'll watch for more in the future, but because the problem happened again this morning, I think it is perhaps a software bug. -
Why does pre-rendered footage get re-rendered again for every playback or preview?
Dear Sir/Mdm,
I'm a novice, please bear with me.
I'm using an Asus laptop with:
1. CPU: Intel i5-3337U @ 1.80 GHz (4 CPUs)
2. OS: Windows 8.1 64 bits (6.3, Build 9600)
3. RAM: 8 GB
4. DirectX: Version 11
5. On-board Graphics: Intel HD 4000
6. Dedicated Graphics: GeForce GT 740M
7. Dedicated video memory: 2048 MB DDR3
8. Nvidia Driver version: 6.14.13.3523
9. Total available graphics memory: 4096 MB
I hoped to avoid repeated rendering of footage segments during RAM previews, scrub-through, or playbacks.
I pre-composed related layers of completed segments and pre-rendered the pre-comp, which gave a footage (in AVI format) to replace the pre-comp.
But when I scrub-through, playback (spacebar), or do RAM previews, the pre-rendered footage gets re-rendered again (for every scrub-through/preview/playback).
Need advice.
Thanks.Thanks for the responses and apologies for the slow reply (I spent some time following-up on the clues from the kind responses and did a more focused reading of AE's Help page based on the clues).
To answer Mr Szalam's questions:
I'm using AE CS6 version 11.0.4.2
Memory settings:
Installed RAM: 7.9 GB
RAM Reserved for other applications: 2 GB
RAM Available for AE: 5.9 GB
[Not selected] Reduce cache size when system is low on memory
Previous Multiprocessing settings:
Installed CPUs: 4
CPUs reserved for other applications: 1
RAM allocation per background CPU: 1.5 GB
Actual CPUs that will be used: 0
Current Multiprocessor settings: [Not selected] (due to advice given in the responses)
Copy that on the RAM part. Time for a little hardware upgrade :-)
For Mr/Mdm bogiesan's advice, thanks. Now I know more of what to look out for in simplifying future projects. For this current case, the pre-dendered movie-layer is the only layer-segment as I intended it to be a completed segment in the hope of avoiding repeated renders ... alas, it didn't turn out the way I hoped ... oh well :-)
For Mr Dave La Ronde's advice, copy that. I've disabled multiprocessing. Indeed, I'm using sub-par hardware for the intended purposes.
To sum up:
From AE's Help-pages:
1. "If you have a nested composition ... you can save time during each rendering operation by pre-rendering the nested composition ..."
Takeaway: Re-rendering will occur under all situations, be it a plain movie-layer, effects-applied movie-layer, etc. Pre-rendering was designed to save time on nested compositions only (i.e. re-rendering nested compositions take longer than re-rendering the pre-rendered version of the nested composition).
2. "The rendering of a movie is the frame-by-frame rendering of each of the frames that make up the movie.".
Takeaway: Even plain-movies get re-rendered. Since pre-rendered movies are the same as imported movies, everything gets re-rendered without exception.
Although Premiere Pro CS6 seems to handle movie footages with transition-effects more smoothly (e.g. during scrub-through), but I guess AE CS6 has much more to keep track of if it needs to tell the difference between a plain-movie and an effects-applied one ... perhaps a more optimized approach is indeed to render everything without exception. Perhaps a dedicated no-render-layer-slot can help AE to decide what not to render (i.e. anything dragged into such a no-render-layer will never be rendered) ... but that's just from a novice hobbyist's limited-knowledge perspective (I'm not a professional effects artist, which may be obvious from the sub-par hardware I use ... I bought the Teachers and Students Edition of CS6, which was kindly offered by Adobe at a steep discount ... and I use it to satisfy my curiosity of how those stuff-of-dreams sort of movie-effects are created ... for now, I'm only able to play with basic video montages :-)
Thanks for all the responses. Case closed as AE seems to be designed to render everything without exception. -
Make Nvidia-Settings monitor settings & PowerMizer stick
If i access the Nvidia-Settings program, i can configure the OpenGL and Antialiasing Settings however i wish and quit and they will permanently stick through every restart of the computer or x server.
However the "X Server Display Configuration" settings and "PowerMizer" settings, although they do apply for my current session after i change them, restarting X11 will reset them.
I want to set my two displays to clone and powermizer to performance mode.
I have both tried the "Save to X Configuration File" button in the display section and saved it to a file in xorg.conf.d/ and i also tried going to the nvidia-settings Configuration and using the "Save Current Configuration" on the default path/filename for my user (rather than root(
Nothing i've tried seems to work. What am i doing wrong or just not doing?
My window manager is a plain openbox-session.

nvidia-settings -l
seems to do precisely nothing, and to my understanding when the drivers load (when X runs) the drivers should load the "~/.nvidia-settings-rc" which is created when i use the "Save Current Configuration" button if one exists (if not i assume it just uses some default settings). Also to my understanding "nvidia-settings -l" is just meant to load exactly that file again.
whether it actually does that successfully or not i have not tested, but the file does not include the monitor settings when i save it and i assume it doesn't contain the PowerMizer settings either since that also doesn't stick.
i seem to require a xorg.conf or a xorg.conf.d/file file with at leastthese contents to run X with the nvidia drivers. Last i checked anyways which was probably a few months back.

I went through and deleted some stuff but I didn't think I touched anything that had to do with the system. is my hard drive crashing?
Hi Miro, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions after re-install, then reboot again.
If all the above do not resolve the problem, then it's time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

I had to reset my Apple password and now my iTunes and iCloud passwords no longer work. How do I get them linked again and under the same password. I've tried my new password on each login screen and it isn't accepted.
Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe -
The voiceover on my ipod touch has stopped working. Not sure what i have done to stop it. anyone any idea how i get it started again?
Turn VoiceOver on or off: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver. You can also set Triple-click Home to turn VoiceOver on or off. See “Triple-click Home” on page 129.

Since updating to Mavericks, Mail doesn't work properly. It just stops working (no error messages--it just won't check for new mail) and I must shut it down and reopen it to get it working again. Any suggestions?
Try to force quit the mail app
Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
Failing that, go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and remove your account info then put it back in and see if that works -
My ipad is disabled, its not linked to itunes so how do i get it working again.
Please can anyone help me, my ipad is disabled and will not let me use it, am being asked to link to itunes but it has not been linked to any itunes so i dont know what i can do to get it working again.
can anyone help me.
ThanksIt will need to be connected to a computer to unlock it - from that first link :
If you repeatedly enter the wrong passcode, your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will be disabled for longer intervals before you can try again. After too many unsuccessful attempts, you won't be able to try again until you connect it to the computer with which you last synced it.
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
Recovery mode is usually needed to get a disabled iPad into a state where it will be recognised by a computer - without putting the iPad into it, iTunes on the computer is likely to expect you to type in the (forgotten) passcode lock on the iPad. -
Command line nvidia-settings output.
First off, I'm not sure if this thread should be here or in the hardware section, but since the issue is with the software, i've stuck it here for the moment.
Since nvclock doesn't work with my fermi cards (2 x gtx470s in sli) I'm using the cli of nvidia-settings in a munin plugin. After some faffing around getting the env set correctly and sufficient xhost permissions, everything is working, apart from the clock speeds.
nvidia-settings -tq [gpu:0]/gpucurrentclockfreqsstring
should output the current clock frequencies of the gpu. However, all it displays is the lowest frequencies - for me, the output is always
nvclock=50, memclock=135, processorclock=101
even when the card is loaded (unigine benchmark) and the nvidia-settings gui shows the correct (higher) clocks. gpucurrentperflevel does change, so this is what I'm using at the moment, although I would prefer actual clock readings rather than 0-3.
Is this experienced by anyone else with nvidia (fermi or not) cards? And should I file a bug for arch, or upstream?
ThanksThanks Both...
Psychomania, I do remember one of the Nokia updates having a problem when I initially started to play with the phone. I've just gone through all the QR codes above and got the attached message for 'Display and Touch'.
This was exactly the problem I had initially and looks like the cause or the error in my settings.
FYI. I am updating over my home wi-fi, so there shouldn't be any connection issues.
