Nvidia-settings in a separate X session

This may be a quick, bone-basic question but I find that my nvidia-settings such as anti aliasing are not working in a separate xsession.
here is my little script for my game
X :3 -ac -terminate &
sleep 2
export WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/.local/share/wineprefixes/OpenBVE
export WINEARCH=win32
export DISPLAY=:3
cd "${WINEPREFIX}/drive_c/Program Files/openbve [1.2.14.0]"
wine OpenBve.exe
Can any one tell me the steps to get em working?
THANKS

hi,
thanks for the reply.
I got the following error when I ran the script with nvidia-settings added

Nvidia Settings not saved or dont load after reboot

Hi there , look well i try to put the follow settings :
Well during my current session that apply without problems , well when i reboot , or shutdown after i power on the pc . the settings are reset to :
How i can saved and load the settings when i start my session again , because i try to put in my ~/.xinitrc
the follow lines :
nvidia-settings --load-config-only (this dont work for i want load the settings when i start my session)
nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2 (For Firefox , i dont know if this works or not)
well , you have another ideas , to solve this ???
thank you for any answer you can give me.

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 settings not saves and applied on setup

I have this problem using nvidia settings for the nvidia driver 295.33-1. I am trying to tweak gamma levels and varius otehr settings using nvidia control panel. I save the settings in .nvidia-settings-rc in my home folder, but when I log out the settings are restored to their defaults.
I the following bash script to load the nvidia settings.
#!/bin/bash
nvidia-settings --load-config-only
nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2
However the only way now to apply my selected settings is to open nvidia control center every time I log in.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Run as root?? That's obviously not what's intended - it's saved in $HOME.
How can you expect the setting to take effect, when it's not even present? I see no "pix"-related line in ~/.nvidia-settings-rc . You could ask for it to be included, in the nvidia forum.
Running "nvidia-settings --load-config-only" changes the settings for that session only, that's correct. What's the problem with that?

Using nvidia-settings without X/over ssh

I have a computer with an nvidia GTX 670 that I want to control remotely. However, I have problems using nvidia-settings over ssh. When trying to use it, I get this error:
ERROR: Cannot open display ':0.0'.
When a user is logged in an xfce session locally, I can use nvidia-settings without issue, using the command line over ssh. As soon as I log out from the xfce session, I get
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
ERROR: Cannot open display ':0.0'.
ERROR: Unable to query attribute GPUCoreTemp specified in query '[gpu:0]/GPUCoreTemp' (no Display connection).
How can I use nvidia-settings without the need for a user to be logged in locally?

I am trying to do the same thing with a GT 240. I found something promising here:

Since you do have a local monitor, it may be easier not having to fake one. I don't have a monitor, I haven't gotten around to trying the Xorg stuff yet.

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.
Section "Device"
Identifier "Whatever"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
For me .nvidia-settings-rc wasn't loaded by default. I had to write it into my .xinitrc, too.

Use same nvidia-settings config in other X server.

I have been using Linux for a while and I have been playing all the games that can't be minimized on a separate X server, so I can use the desktop while playing. I use this script now: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ru … _X_display
But I have noticed that the nvidia-settings (antialiasing and all that) have no effect on the new X. I have tried adding nvidia-settings --load-settings-only to the game script (I launch the games with ./xinit script, and script contains "nvidia-settings --load-settings-only" and a call to the game), but it doesn't seems to work either.
I notice it because antialising/anisotropic filters aren't applied and there are some glitches on textures. If I run the game con the current X server, those filters are applied and textures are fine.
Anyone know what can I do to load the same configuration when running on another X server?
I'm using all latest software and Nvidia GT440.
Thanks

I have been testing with nvidia-settings -q all, running it in another X server and redirecting the output to a file.
Then I diff'ed it with the result of running it on the desktop and the output was the same, so the config is loaded, but 1 line:
Other X: Attribute 'GPUUtilization' (julio-linux:10[gpu:0]): graphics=31, memory=24, video=0, PCIe=1
Desktop: Attribute 'GPUUtilization' (julio-linux:0[gpu:0]): graphics=0, memory=1, video=0, PCIe=0
While GPUUtilization attribute on desktop is always the same, when running another X server, this attribute on that X changes, those variables change randomly, I suspect about PCIe parameter. It looks for another GPU?? (I only have one).
Sometimes the PCIe parameter is the same, but not the others.
I have tried running another desktop too, (I use xfce) loading the xinitrc file with startx ~/.xinitrc --: 10, and run the game from there. The antialiasing/anisotropic filters were applied there, the game looked good.
I checked there the configuration and the GPUUtilization attribute was the same of main X server/desktop, It doesn't change when loading another desktop with .xinitrc.
So I think that the problem is when not loading a desktop, the attribute 'GPUUtilization' changes and this is what makes the driver not apply the settings there.
How can I fix that?

WHY Gnome ignores the nvidia-settings --load-config ...?

ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux … overridden
"If you believe that your desktop environment is overriding settings that you configured in nvidia-settings, some possible solutions are:
1. Use the display configuration tools provided as part of the desktop environment (e.g. gnome-control-center display, gnome-display-properties, kcmshell4 display, unity-control-center display, xfce4-display-settings) to configure your displays, instead of the nvidia-settings control panel or the xrandr command line tool. Setting your desired configuration using the desktop environment’s tools should cause that configuration to be the one which is restored when the desktop environment overrides the existing configuration from nvidia-settings. If you are not sure which tools your desktop environment uses for display configuration, you may be able to discover them by navigating any available system menus for “Display” or “Monitor” control panels.
2. For settings loaded from ~/.nvidia-settings-rc which have been overridden, run nvidia-settings --load-config-only as needed to reload the settings from ~/.nvidia-settings-rc.
3. Disable any features your desktop environment may have for managing displays. (Note: this may disable other features, such as display configuration tools that are integrated into the desktop.)
4. Use a different desktop environment which does not actively manage display configuration, or do not use any desktop environment at all…"
It’s very frustrating for me. The driver is good and efficient, but you can not permanently set of personal values of brightness, contrast and gamma.
It is there a chance to Gnome offered brightness and contrast controls integrated with gnome-tweak-tool or with any other tool?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … a-settings
I found a lot of instructions "how to", but not met with confirmation: IT WORKS.

The 2 value is the default value by the way. If you start your X-session without your nvidia command, you will see it:
nvidia-settings -q all | grep 'Pixmap'
I don't know how it will work out for others, but the 0 value feels the best for me, and generally the lower the value the better. (thus, 4 seems the worst)
I tried to experiment with the "PixmapCacheRoundSizeKB" attribute as well, but didn't notice any improvement, and it was kind of a letdown.
Oh, and firefox seems way too sluggish to even try to make it smoother, google-chrome ftw.
Anyway, I think the thread gets derailed with this discussion, maybe it would be better to start a new one in a different subforum and talk about the possible nvidia settings.
edit. Ok, I just discovered that 0 value messes up my fonts in some applications. I think I'll stick with the default value.

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?
Thanks

Thanks 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.

[SOLVED] nvidia-settings startup delay

Does anyone happen to know why nvidia-settings takes a good 3-4 minutes to open after open it from the menu or the terminal, sudo or as user? I'm on xfce and didn't have this problem on Cinnamon or Ubuntu Gnome-Shell.
I have to use this settings panel to turn "on" my secondary display when I plug it up also for some reason, this is new too, but I suppose not relevant to the original question. Bonus points if you know why this is too!

Actually, chalk this up to not looking hard enough again. The suggestion to add

to /etc/hosts seems to have solved the issue.

Set nvidia-settings on start-up

Where is the best place on an arch box to set the
nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2 -a GlyphCache=1
~/.xinitrc?

.xinitrc is good, or you can add something like this to your xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Option "InitialPixmapPlacement" "2"
Option "GlyphCache" "1"
EndSection "Device"

[kinda solved!]nvidia-settings segmentation fault

hi
i use nvidia-settings to adjust my graphic card setup. I haven't used it in a while though (in fact, i think it was using kde about 8 months ago), and tried to fire it up today on openbox, this is what i get;
$ nvidia-settings
(nvidia-settings:6351): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",
(nvidia-settings:6351): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",
Segmentation fault
$
I have never installed murrine ever! is it as simple an issue to fix as install murrine??
i tried to pacman it & yaourt it, but its not found! before I go about finding the source code to compile, i was wondering if anyone else has any ideas?
thanks

I find it a bit unlikely that a missing theme engine would cause a seg fault, however the package you need is in [community] and is called 'gtk-engine-murrine'.
What version of nvidia-utils do you have? and is the ret of your system up to date?
hi, thanks for that. I installed the theme engine, now the error message only says;
$ nvidia-settings
Segmentation Fault
$
I keep my system fully updated all the time, but how do i find out what version of nvidia-utils i am using??

How do I open up separate sessions so I can get separate email sessions open at the same time?

I want to have two separate email sessions open. I want to be able to switch back and forth between two email sessions without being forced to log off and on again.

You can look at these extensions:<br />
* Multifox: http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/ - Different logins at the same time
* CookiePie: http://www.nektra.com/oss/firefox/extensions/cookiepie/
* CookieSwap: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/3255

Xorg Nvidia-Settings Esoterica

I see posts with odd Xorg and nvidia-settings like AddARGBGLXVisuals, RenderAccel, BoolVoodoBlackMagicMojo whatever.
Where do people find these settings and what they mean? I have never been able to find a resorce that tells you what all the possible settings are and what they do. Is there one?
