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"

Macbook Pro: can't overclock Nvidia 320M (MPC89) with nvidia-settings

I would like to overclock the graphics on my Macbook Pro 7,1 with Nvidia 320M (MPC89) integrated graphics, using the nvidia-beta 270.30-2 proprietary driver. I know the risks involved. However the usual nvidia commands do not seem to work:
If I set it like this:
$ nvidia-settings --assign "[gpu:0]/GPUOverclockingState=1" --assign="[gpu:0]/GPU3DClockFreqs=550,1200"
Attribute 'GPUOverclockingState' (arch-macbookpro:0[gpu:0]) assigned value 1.
Attribute 'GPU3DClockFreqs' (arch-macbookpro:0[gpu:0]) assigned value 550,1200.
When I then check the settings I see default values again, and not the ones I set:
$ nvidia-settings -q all | grep GPU3D
Attribute 'GPU3DClockFreqs' (arch-macbookpro:0.0): 450,1064.
The valid values for 'GPU3DClockFreqs' are in the ranges 112 - 900, 266 - 1276 (inclusive).
'GPU3DClockFreqs' can use the following target types: X Screen, GPU.
Attribute 'GPU3DClockFreqs' (arch-macbookpro:0[gpu:0]): 450,1064.

Are there any other ways to try?

Did you activate coolbits in xorg.conf (or 20-nvidia.conf)? Even so, from what I know, overclocking isn't supported on mobile cards.

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.

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.

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.

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?

When I bought my iPad and set up iCloud and started using iMessage the picture that comes up when I send a picture is not me but my stepdaughter. How do I change it? The ID picture on my iMac is me

When I bought my iPad and set up iCloud I started using iMessage but when I type a note and hit send the picture that comes up is not me but some one else that I know. I don,t even have this picture in my iPhoto's so don't know where it came from. My ID picture on my MacBook pro is correct. I went to settings, then messages but did not see a place to change the picture. Any ideas?

You set the picture in Contacts.
Open Contacts, select the person then tap Edit.
Tap the photo to change it.

Setting default settings in Preview

I'm developing a Bento database of my library and I'm using Preview for scanning book covers. I'm interested in seeing if I could set some default settings:
1) When using Preview to import from my Canon MP800, is there a way to configure the scanning program to the settings I want to use (75dpi and color) instead of the 25 dpi and text setting that this always starts off with?
2) After scanning in 20 book covers I save each as a separate file, but when I give the save command it always defaults to JPEG200 format and I have to change it to JPEG. Can this be set somewhere?
I see nothing in Preview Preferences that allows me to do this, and it amazes me that there is no way to improve this workflow...
Rocketman

Same question for me.
Very annoying to select again everytime you scan...
Any idea someone ?
Thanks,

How do I set the settings back to default?

Inherited my photoshop from previous employee. How do I set the settings back to default like the keyboard shortcuts and anything else in the preferences? Would like to do this without reinstal as finding the original disc will probably be a hassle.
Thanks

you can reset the Photoshop preferences in the following way
Windows: Shift + Ctrl + Alt
Mac: Shift + Command + Option
Hold down the above keyboard combinations while starting photoshop.
You will be asked if you want to reset preferences -answer yes.
Cheers

How to reset easy set up settings

How do I reset my easy set up settings so I can find a better way to capture footage from my Canon Vixia HV30 to FCE? I have been using 'Format - HD' and 'Use: HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60' and I can import footage in that setup but I am looking for a better way which will allow me to use the Capture Window (it lists the Capture Bin/Reel/Name/Description/Scene/etc.) so I can label and organize my footage -- this Capture Window doesn't seem to be available by the aforementioned method -- so I want to try another method but to do that I have to reset my easy set up settings. Thanks for your help.

but it's the time duration between the 'in' and 'out' points (timecode?) that >I'm not sure about. Is this information essential for logging before I start >doing editing or does organizing essentials just consist of naming the file/bin >in the Tape # I am working on?
Are you in _List View_ in the Browser?
FCE does not allow for Timecode In/Out points to be added in Browser columns, we all face the same deal unless you move to FCP.
The Duration of the clip is however. If you cannot see the Duration Column right click in the any heading column except the Name column and it will bring up a list of all availble, you add or delete as required.
In List View the clips are added in linear time fashion the top one being first.
It's normal behaviour for HDV footage to be broken at the Camera start/stop points so you end up with a bunch of clips in the Browser knowing at least which came first and last if time is important to your Project.

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.

[SOLVED] nvidia-settings taking a long time to load.

I just got an nvidia card yesterday, so I'm not sure if this is regular behavior, but nvidia-settings take about 3-5 minutes to load. I'm using KDE. When I try to load it from the terminal I see a bunch of errors like this:

I searched around for this issue, and found people who had similar problems with Firefox in the past, but I never see anyone who has solved it. On my setup I don't have this issue with any other app besides nvidia-settings.

Ok today i noticed that if I delete ~/.nvidia-settings-rc, the UI loads instantly just like it's supposed to. I started googling around and found that there is indeed a bug in nvidia-settings which has something to do with the way it handles a machine's hostname.
If I edit ~/.nvidia-settings-rc and delete every line that starts with my hostname, the program loads instantly. When you close nvidia-settings, it will re-write the file, and the next time you start it, you're back to waiting a long time for the UI to load. It seems there is nothing that can be done to truly fix this until nvidia fixes the bug that is causing it.
Thank you! I had this problem since the latest update.
To avoid having to remove/edit the configuration file, I have added a line in /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 myhostname

[LENOVO Y50-70] How To Set NVIDIA Card as Default Graphic Adapter

I have just bought Lenovo Y50-70. But i wonder how to set NVIDIA Card as default Graphic Adapter instead using Intel Card. Thanks

hi monx,
Welcome to the Forums.
The Y50-70 uses Nvidia Optimus Technology to automatically switch between the Intel GPU (for power saving) and Nvida GPU (for maximum performance).
To manually set the default graphics adapter, you will need to set this inside the Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings.

Nvidia-settings segmentation fault

I have nvidia 270.41.06-1 installed. And when I try to run nvidia-settings it gives me segmentation fault.
Anyone else experience this problem? I think it started happening to me only on very recent update.
PS. I am using KDE 64-bit

I am on x86_64 also, XFCE4, and it segfaults on me too, here is the log (found in the kernel.log):
It segfaults only when trying to SAVE TO X CONFIGURATION FILE (xorg.conf) (and does not update xorg.conf)
nvidia-settings[1617]: segfault at 7f32b3a09ae0 ip 00007f32b3a09ae0 sp 00007fffca33e0b8 error 15
UPDATE: when I delete the ~/.nvidia-settings.rc file (in all my user's directories, including the root directory)
I can then SAVE the CONFIGURATION (as root). I just made sure aftewards, to save the new ~/.nvidia-settings.rc
too. (to all my user's directories).
I didn't have to change themes, or anything else. Just delete the old ~/.nvidia-settings.rc file from each user,
including root, then issue # sudo nvidia-setttings and save the X configurations to file. It worked.. then
saved the settings to each user's directory (~/.nvidia-settings-rc)
