[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

[SOLVED] How to install and run (on debian) a separate, downlevel version of firefox for the F5/firepass VPN?

(Note: my problem is similar to [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/931534?e=es&as=aaq another current problem] except that
* OP is running windows (I'm running a debian linux)
* OP is asking a more general question (how to fix?) while I'm asking for details on a proposed fix)
I'm currently running
$ lsb_release -ds
Linux Mint Debian Edition
$ cat /etc/debian_version
wheezy/sid
$ uname -rv
3.2.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Mar 4 22:48:17 UTC 2012
$ iceweasel --version
Mozilla Iceweasel 13.0.1
I'd like to continue running an uplevel iceweasel ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Corporation_software_rebranded_by_the_Debian_project which is firefox]) but apparently need to run a downlevel version in order to run a particular vendor-supplied plugin. How best to do that (i.e., with minimal performance degradation, and without affecting my package management)? Or is there another way to solve the general problem (running the F5 Network Access Plugin)? Why I ask:
My employer is giving me remote access via a SecurID token and the F5 Network Access Plugin (F5NAP). The latter is in fact a browser plugin, which seems to me an odd way to implement a VPN, but it's the only offered option. Unfortunately,
* the only browsers supported for linux are Firefox 3 and Firefox 8 (per [http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/manuals/product/apm_compatibility_matrix_10_2_1.html this]--scroll to "Linux Operating Systems")
* my primary laptop runs LMDE (see above) with Iceweasel 13 (from the mozilla.debian.net repository), which I want to keep. (It's the uplevel browser, dammit !-)
So I first tried to install the F5NAP on my iceweasel, hoping it was sufficiently like the listed versions. I browsed to my employer's site, logged in using the token, and followed the link to install the plugin. Unfortunately, that failed: the xpi began running, but then quit with the message
> F5 Network Access Plugin could not be installed because it is not compatible with Iceweasel 13.0.1
Hoping for a simple workaround, I told the often-useful User Agent Switcher plugin to emulate Firefox 8, but no fix. Hence it seems like I will hafta
* install Firefox 3 or Firefox 8
* run that downlevel browser whenever I want remote access
* run the uplevel browser for everything else
This definitely seems like a kludge, so I am open to alternatives. Meanwhile I'm wondering:
# Which of the F5-supported downlevel browsers (Firefox 3 or Firefox 8) has the smaller memory footprint?
# How to install the downlevel browser so that it does not interfere with my uplevel browser's configuration, operation, and updating via debian package management?
# How to run the downlevel browser so that its operation does not interfere with my uplevel browser? I know firefox typically wants to run singleton.

@[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/user/160087 verdi]: thanks for your helpful suggestions. The "fix" (actually a kludge, but I gotta work with what F5 and my employer give me) was:
# Install/run latest Firefox 3 (despite there being [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932269 no 64-bit version for linux]) using [https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzDAFHgIxRzKbmJDUGZqTzhfbDg this bash scriptlet].
# Create a [https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzDAFHgIxRzKQjRyQndqUTJpRXM run script] to start firefox so that one can
#* choose the appropriate profile (I was unable to set it from the script without startup error)
#* run multiple instances (I don't want 3.x firefox touching my uplevel profile)
# Run Firefox 3.x with the runner, then point it to my employer's site to install the [http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/manuals/product/apm_compatibility_matrix_10_2_1.html F5 Network Access Plugin] (restarting firefox as required).
The gnome-terminal tab from which I invoke the runner spews a bazillion "wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64" errors, but the plugin runs, and I can SSH normally (though more slowly) to servers on the VLAN from another terminal tab.

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,

Hi
Is there anyone who have managed to install nvidia optimus GT 630m in ubuntu or any other OS linux and worked?? coz I did all the methods which are available on net, but no luck, found out that Bumblebee can't get to enable Nvidia!! is it right??
How to switch graphic card? does it have an option to switch card in BIOS??
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!

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 yajl 2.0 and reinstall yaourt?

I had yaourt with yajl 1.0, but somehow got deleted. My fault.
I had used yaourt, even if it asked for yajl>=2.0 and installed packages from AUR.
Now I cannot install yaourt, as it asks for yajl>=2.0
I can only install yajl 1.0.11-3, as pacman/kpackagekit won't find yajl 2.0.1-0, so I downloaded the tar.gz file, but don't know how to install it.
This is the zip file; lloyd-yajl-2.0.1-0-gf4b2b1a.tar.gz and its in the Home directory.
What should I do to install this, so I can install yaourt again?
Thanks!

There is no PKBUILD.
Once extracted, went into the directory

$ ./configure && make install
finally,

[SOLVED] how to install mingetty

$ pacman -S mingetty
error: 'mingetty': could not find or read package
so then I downloaded mingetty-1.08.tar.gz & mingetty-utf8.patch from http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13793
to my home/rich/Downloads folder. But how do I install it?
Last edited by dameunmate (2010-07-16 08:41:28)

Sorry about that, I had read a lot of the wiki but I had no idea how to install a package from the AUR. The console was very upset when I tried to install mingetty as the root user, so to install it as another user changing the permissions on each and every installation file took a long time. However I got there in the end. Thanks for your help.
For anyone who like myself is running Arch Linux and Openbox, in the end I didn't need mingetty to boot straight into X Openbox, so I've now uninstalled it. I only needed to folow the instructions in the Arch Wiki at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Start_X_at_boot (second section using etc/inittab).
Here's my etc/inittab:
# /etc/inittab
# Runlevels:
# 0 Halt
# 1(S) Single-user
# 2 Not used
# 3 Multi-user
# 4 Not used
# 5 X11
# 6 Reboot
## Only one of the following two lines can be uncommented!
# Boot to console
#id:3:initdefault:
# Boot to X11
id:5:initdefault:
rc::sysinit:/etc/rc.sysinit
rs:S1:wait:/etc/rc.single

# End of file
...the key is in the x:5:once:/bin/su YOUR_USERNAME_HERE -l -c "/bin/bash --login -c /usr/bin/startx >/dev/null 2>&1"
So now I just press the power button and end up in Openbox in about 50 seconds (for some reason my motherboard takes 30 seconds to get to the Grub menu, then as Arch boots it takes a good 10 seconds to get a wireless connection up). Press the power button again and it automatically shuts down! (see http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Shu … wer_Button - I don't know if this closes X properly but anyway it works)

Hello guys,

Please tell me that it is possible. I would really appreciate if someone can tell me how I can install this properly.

Since I had one serious problem with my nvidia driver because of an unsupported binary, I only use official arch linux repos for installing the application. I really (please understand this) do not want to take risk doing stuff on my own for this. My lap should be working tomorrow. Otherwise I will miss my presentation with adobe connect which would be very pity for me.
If its crucial it works within a certain time, run Debian or Ubuntu and install the program. Whichever way you look at it, unpackaging a .deb on an Arch system involves at least a bit of 'hackery' which does not involve Arch's repos.
The better solution is to actually try things out, and learn while doing so. Nobody is going to just give you the right answer, that's not how the distro works. In the case of what you're trying to do, YMMV, so even more there'll be no 'right answer' to point you to.

Okay thanks that worked. I wasn't aware that the order in pacman.conf actually matter.
It does because the name of the app is the same (kde) it will pick it up from the first available repo that has the app/group named kde.

May I ask why you want to install GDM, instead of a much lighter DM like lightdm or SLiM (or even why you want a DM at all) ?
I just installed GDM using the instructions in the wiki (to test the instructions), and it all worked as written for me. I installed the DM, then changed /etc/inittab as directed, and rebooted. GDM started and let me log in. /usr/share/gdm/autostart is right where it should be.
Please post the output of these commands:
ls /usr/share/gdm
gdm --version
And I have to ask, when was the last time you did a full system upgrade (pacman -Syu)?

This should be your first clue that something is very wrong... How did you install GDM?
