Need a help to install nvidia on ubuntu!! I'm using linux ( ubuntu 12.10and kernel 3.6.0)
I appreciate your help and thanks

Hi RedStar
To be quite forward with You: there is very few details that can be used to help You.
Suggestions from me: You say there are errors. Great. But what are the error messages.
When asking for help, please try to put yourself in the position of the people you are asking help from.
THey need details and relevant information to be able to help.
They probably know very little of your specific situation.
Stating things like "it doesn't work" is simply not enough.
"there are errors" - well ok. That lets people know that something is not running on rails....but what?
And vague details are also not enough. Provide the exact messages! Copy & Paste if You need to.
Anyway, I suggest that You issue bug reports on the Bumblebee site for a better support since they probably are the best to help You.
https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/wiki/Reporting-Issues
BTW - thanks for enlightening me on the Bumblebee project! I was not aware of this until You told me :)
Good luck and please report your progress back into this thread. I am sure many people are interested in your experiences. I am!

Where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5 ?

Folks,
Hello. I am using Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Database 11g for PIA.
Before install Oracle DB 11g into Oracle Linux 5, we need to install X Window System according to the document page 2 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32285.pdf
But I don't know where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5.
Can any folk provide a link to download X Window System and tutorial to install it for Oracle Linux 5 ?

You can address the problem in a number of different ways.
You can install X-windows from the installation DVD or setup access to the Oracle public software repository as described in http://public-yum.oracle.com. In which case, the command to install X-windows is: yum groupinstall "X Window System"
Or, you login remotely and and use SSH with X-forwarding, in which case the software on the server will use the X-Windows server on your client system. This is probably the preferred way since you do not have X-windows installed on the server. For more details about SSH forwarding and howto, please see Install Oracle 11gR2 on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto part 2 Oracle Universal Installer.

How to install d2k release 6i on redhat linux version 7.3?

How to install d2k release 6i on redhat linux version 7.3?

have you tried using open motif 2.1.30?
the open motif version that comes with the redhat 7.3 is 2.2 and is not compatible with 6i. Once I used open motif 2.1.30 it worked fine. The environment variable setting is very similar to any other unix version. Ensure that you are also intalling the latest patch (10) for 6i (fixed lots of problems).

Z360 - How to install NVIDIA drivers and enable Optimus on Ubuntu 13.04

Hello,
I moved to use Ubuntu on my Z360 laptop. I installed Ubuntu 13.04.
But I have a problem with NVIDIA drivers. I tried to download it from NVIDIA website and install it but it brings a lot of problems.
The resolution of desktop switched to very low and OpenGL cannot start - all dialogs hasn't title panel, desktop without panels.
Please, can somebody explain how can I install NVIDIA drivers and enable Optimus on my Z360?

I am not sure if Nvidia supports 13.04 because it is still in the Beta stage?
Cheers and regards,

How to Install Nvidia Quadro 4000 in Dell R710

Hi All,
I have read a lot about installing the Nvidia Quadro PCIe x16 card in a Dell R710. I know what parts I need to order (Dell GP347 PCI-e Left Riser), but I do not know how to install the 6 pin power cable required by the Nvidia card. Where would I connect it to the Dell R710 motherboard? Is there a place to connect it? If not, is there some type of power supply I can hook the 6 pin Nvidia Power cable and provide power outside of the server? Any help would be appreciated.

This is a bit old now, but thought I would reply as I got this working and very happy with the performance!
In addition to the riser board I needed, there is NO way to provide the power the card needs without an EXTERNAL power supply. There is a really small box listed on Newegg called "ePOWER EP-450CD 450W ATX12V/EPS12V Modular Juice Box-Dedicated Graphics Card and CPU Power supply". Buy it and run the GPU power cable from an empty PCI slot out the back of the Dell Server.
I also purchased NVidia Quadro 4000 2 GB GDDR5 PCIe video cards for each of my ESXi 5.5 servers. Also, I left my built-in video graphic card enabled and it is still primary for my Hypervisor.
Download and install the NVidia ESXi drivers from their website and follow the directions to install them. Reboot.
I use sVGA with my Horizon Desktops and downloaded a trial version of Sketch-Up to test 3D. They have a community of users who post 3D renderings and you can download one directly from the Sketch-up Program. Cruise around and check the performance.
As a side note, I noticed IE worked way worse by using the GPU when Browsing the internet. Go to Advanced Settings in IE, and the top option states "Use software rendering instead of GPU". Making that change makes IE work as expected.

[SOLVED] How to install nvidia 285.05.09-3 drivers

Hi All,
Currently I have installed xf86-video-nouveau 0.0.16_git20110829-1 drivers in my Arch Linux but I would like to install nvidia 285.05.09-3 in kernel 3.1.1-1-ARCH.
Each time I have tried to install nvidia drivers I have had a lot of problems: the worst is that once installed I reboot system and X does not start, screen goes black, etc so I am afraid to install it because then I have a lot of problems to goes back nouveau and to get X starts again.
So could anyone say me step by step how to install it with success and that once I reboot my system you ensure me X starts?
And a step by step guide in case X does not starts and I need to come back nouveau again and start X normaly without problems.
Thx.

Did you install the nvidia 285 drivers from the repos? Have you tried https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nv … au_drivers ?
Can you post some logs when the nvidia drivers are failing? What card do you have?
Hi Karol,
I have just installed nvidia 285 from repos taking into account the link you provided. I follow the steps mentioned in the script to change from nouveau to nvidia and it went Ok. Now I have installed nvidia drivers from repos and at boot-up, X starts correctly (SOLVED).
I think when I installed nvidia in the past one thing was missed: (I did not do this)
/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/mkinitcpio -p linux
....Maybe that was the problem.
My graphic card is Nvidia Go7600.
Thx again

Satellite A210-15Y - How to install Windows XP?

I had Windows Vista and I upgrade it with Windows 7. Now I really want to install Windows XP.
When I put Windows XP CD in after a while I get an blue screen whit an error .
pls tell how to install Windows XP on my notebook and if I need some drivers to do it pls put links from whereIi can get them.
P.S. sorry for bad english

Hi
I think the problem is that you tried to install the Win XP without installation of SATA driver.
The A210 needs SATA driver in order to recognize the HDD.
You could also check the BIOS settings. There should be a option called SATA mode.
This can be set from AHCI to compatible and this will allows you to install the Win XP without the first installation of SATA drivers.
Please also check other threads here in the forum about the same theme!!!
PS: It's advisable to use Win XP including SP3!!! You can include the SP3 using the nLite software!!!

How to install 11gR2 RAC on 64 bit linux OS

I am completely new to this topic of RAC and need to be installing and standing up RAC on Linux 64 bit OS . I have good knowledge of installing oracle database ENTERPRISE version 11gR2.
Can you guide me as to how to start. I am looking for leads. Probably we will have 2 nodes.
Thank you very much for helping me in advance

If you are a My Oracle Support (Metalink) user, go check out these two notes created by the Oracle RAC Assurance Team. They are excellent.
NOTE: 810394.1 RAC Assurance Support Team: RAC Starter Kit and Best Practices (Generic)
NOTE: 811306.1 RAC Assurance Support Team: RAC Starter Kit (Linux)
In the Linux note mentioned above there is a link to a Linux Step by Step Instruction Guide. This step by step instruction guide is the best start to finish document I've seen for how to set-up and install Oracle RAC. I believe the guide is written for installing release 11.2.0.2.

How to install graphical desktop interface on Oracle linux server 6.2

Hi
I have installed Oracle Linux server 6.2 how i install graphical desktop interface on server class installation

If this is in the very early stage I suggest to re-install the OS.
Look out for the window to select the set of software to install. Leave Basic Server selected, but choose the Customize now ratio button. Select the Desktops group on the left side of the window. Choose at least the X Window System, Fonts and Desktop packages. To get a similar Desktop like in previous Enterprise Linux releases, add also the General Purpose Desktop and Graphical Administration Tools packages

How to install Glassfish V3.0.1 on Linux (especially Red Hat)

I have to install an application server e.g. Glassfish V3.0.1 on Red Hat (Version number 4.1.2-48).
Does anyone know how to install this appserver on a vm. I have downloaded this in my home directory but i am not sure where to install it and if i have to consider any relevant issues. Acces to this VM is passed by Putty, so i haven't any gui client. Therefore i think it should be the best to install via silent mode
Regards Ünhan

As i was curios i have tried the installation with silent mode, but it hasn't worked. My system wanted from me a display variable and i havn't found a hint how to set this display variable. Therefore i've grabbed the zip file and unpacked it. The next humble was the configuration on a non-Gui-environment. asadmin have noticed that port 4848 was in use. But any examinations about it was unsuccesful, the port seems to be not in use. I am astonished how difficult it has be to install a glassfish server on linux. Actually we are using tomcat and was curios which system would be the best and this was our motivation to install glassfish server. My hope is not broken to succeed the configuration of glassfish. It would be helpful if anyone would comment my thoughts or could give me a hint ,-)
Best regards Ünhan

My problem is on package gcc-3.2.
On distribution of Unbreakable Linux download from Oracle web - there is no gcc-3.2, so i download and try to install gcc-3.2 from RedHat, that requires cpp 3.2-7.
I have installed cpp 3.4.6 that i can't uninstall because xorg-x11 requeires it. I don't want to loose X11 in my Linux :(
