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.

  • AppFabric 1.1 with Windows 7 losing or abandone sessions and ignore the timeout settings

    Hi,
    We have a enterprise financial web solution using aspx and AppFabric 1.1 and we have an issue with Sessions as the get abandoned or appFabric is ignoring the timeout settings.
    I tried almost everything: use sql and xml configuration, deactivate firewalls, ensure all sessions are set to 20 minutes expirations. We have the appFabric settings on the web.config and our project is multilayer but sessions are mainly
    created/consumed at the web project level..
    We use AppFabric 1.1 with Sql Server 2008R2 over a Windows7 x64 environment.
    I also tried all the options using powerShell command: get-command -module DistributedCacheAdministration, I increased the TTL to 38 mins but still nothing makes any difference. Sessions are lost between ~~ 5 to 10 minutes no matter if
    you are playing with the solution or you left aside..
    Please help. I really appreciate any suggestion, idea, recommendation..

    Note the provider type in AF 1.1 is 
    type="Microsoft.Web.DistributedCache.DistributedCacheSessionStateStoreProvider,Microsoft.Web.DistributedCache"
    which is different from the type in 1.0:

  • Sun PKCS#11 provider ignores the PIN while loading keystore in Windows JRE

    We are using smart card based login in our GUI application. We use active client for Card reader. We are using sun PKCS#11 provider to read certificate from the CARD. In the code we are passing PIN while loading the keystore. It seems the pin is getting ignored and we get active client pin dialog.
    PS: In linux JRE the pin passed while loading keystore is working properly.
    Below is the code snippet that i used for testing.
    public static void  main(String arg[]) throws Exception
           try
             //Create our certificates from our CAC Card
            String configName = "card.config";
             Provider p = new sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11(configName);
             Security.addProvider(p);
             char[] pin = { '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6' };
             KeyStore cac = null;
             cac = KeyStore.getInstance("PKCS11");
             cac.load(null, pin);
             showInfoAboutCAC(cac);
          catch(Exception ex)
             ex.printStackTrace();
             System.exit(0);
       public static void showInfoAboutCAC(KeyStore ks) throws KeyStoreException, CertificateException, FileNotFoundException, IOException
          Enumeration<String> aliases = ks.aliases();
           int count = 0;
          while (aliases.hasMoreElements()) 
             String alias = aliases.nextElement();
             X509Certificate[] cchain = (X509Certificate[]) ks.getCertificateChain(alias);
             if (cchain != null){
             System.out.println("Certificate Chain for : " + alias);
             for (int i = 0; i < cchain.length; i ++)
                System.out.println(i + " SubjectDN: " + cchain.getSubjectDN());
    System.out.println(i + " IssuerDN: " + cchain[i].getIssuerDN());
    content of card.config is
    name = myConfig
    library = C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\acpkcs211.dll
    Alternative we can see the same behaviour if we run the following command
    keytool -keystore NONE -storetype PKCS11 -providerClass sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11 -providerArg "E:\work1\card.config" -list
    This command will ask ping in the command line and again active client PIN diaolog will be prompted.
    Please let me know if this a bug in Sun PKCS#11 provider in Windows and is there any work around to fix the issue.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

    The program is just to simulate the issue. I understand that user have to pass the pin. In our GUI we have our own dialog to get the pin from user and pass it to the PKCS#11 provider that uses the pin while loading the keystore.
    cac.load(null, pin); // the pin passed in load method is not used at all
    My problem here is even after the proper pin is supplied by the user the active client PIN dialog is prompted. Whereas in LInux JRE this works fine.
    We have a command line application where active client dialog popup is not acceptable. We need to get the PIN from user as command argument and load the keystore.
    Please let me know if this clarifies the confusion.
    Thanks,
    Ruhul

  • Does Google  ignore the privacy settings of iOS ?

    In the privacy settings of iOS I have disabled access to my pictures for the Google+ App on my iPhone and on my iPad. However I still get emails from Google+ that it uploaded pictures I took with my iPhone. Is Google cheating here ?

    Obviously, this did not solve the question. I don't know how it got marked that way or how to unmark it, but congratulations on the ten points!
    The cells inspector is not interesting. It shows the same thing for both the correct and the incorrect cells. The text inspector is the same for both cells also. I have checked all the panes in the inspector and can't find a setting that is different.
    I have found a workaround on another Numbers document with the same problem. I selected the entire table and reapplied the table format to the selection, then I went back and set the format to the various columns and rows. The problem is that if you paste in information from another document, the results are unpredictable, sometimes conforming to the destination formatting, sometimes not.
    I'd email you the document, but I'd need an address.

  • Why won't the proxy settings be created in the keychain access?

    Hello,
    I'm having an issue with an iMac that won't keep the proxy settings saved. My company has proxy settings active to use the internet and for some reason they will not stick. I noticed that the keychain access is not creating this internet password and I also noticed it's only happening for a certain user only. In the administrator profile, the keychain is working perfectly fine so I narrow it down to the profile issue. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    Network settings apply to all users on the system. Administrator privileges are required to change them.

  • Gnome ignores keyboard layout settings

    Hi everybody!
    As easy as the title states, I set a number of keyboard layouts in Gnome and sort them in the relevant window, but every time I start a new session the English layout is automatically selected, against what I specified.
    It's the only problem that wasn't fixed by switching to systemd.
    Any idea?

    I have exactly the same problem. I want to have multiple layouts, but it just seems impossible. English takes precedence for some reason. System settings do not have any impact on the setup. They are completely ignored.
    The example on Gentoo only deals with one layout as does archlinux wiki. I need se, en, ru. But seems impossible for the time being. I guess gnome 3 does not separate keyboard layouts and regional layouts. Gnome 3 can only handle regional settings. To be absolutely clear, I would prefer gnome to show the menus in English, but use a Swedish keyboard layout.

  • Why won't the zimbra website load my web based email?

    When I try to open the zimbra email web site with safari, it freezes and nothing is loaded not even the sign-in page. I can load the sign in page on other computers, even my iPhone. Why will it not load on my Mac?

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences. If you are running an older version of Safari select the Security tab.
    Where you see:  Accept Cookies
    Make sure Never is not selected.
    Only from sites I visit is recommended.
    If you are running a later version of Safari, select the Privacy tab instead.
    Make sure cookies isn't blocked there.
    If cookies aren't preventing you from loading your web based mail, you may have better luck using a differrent browser such as Chrome or Firefox.

    When I click on the "iTunes Store" button on the left hand side of the screen, there is a blank page and the loading bar says "Accessing iTunes Store", it gets half way and then freezes. However sometimes, it does load but there is no formatting on. I am sure it is not my firewall because I have checked and it is not my Internet connection because it works on other computers running windows 7. I have tried re downloading and repairing the software but nothing has happened.Please could someone help me because it is really annoying. P.S. I have never been able to access it since i got my laptop.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 &amp; above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:
