nVidia, compiz-fusion + Hardy Heron...

[neuralnet]

OK, I had compiz running fine under Feisty & Gutsy but now I've upgraded to Hardy, Compiz - or rather the 3D driver setup is broken. The nvidia driver is working & the green logo appears before the login menu (I have nvidia-glx-new installed via synaptic). I've installed & re-installed just about everything compiz and nvidia related.. but still no luck. Out of desperation I installed the xserver-xgl, but that didn't help and has now been un-installed.

compiz-check gives me;

Can someone please see where I'm going wrong??? Thank you (in advance!) *hopeful* :D

[adamk]

You appear to have a mixture of the nvidia drivers and the fglrx drivers (for ATI/AMD video cards) installed. Uninstall the xorg-driver-fglrx package and then reinstall the nvidia drivers via the restricted driver manager.

[neuralnet]

nope, according to package manager I don't have anything fglrx related installed. I *did* have an ati card in this machine a while back tho'.

Any ideas?

[adamk]

The package manager may not think you have any ATI drivers installed, but you clearly do:

client glx vendor string: ATI

If you don't have it listed in the package manager, you could try over writing the ATI drivers by reinstalling libgl1-mesa-glx and then reinstalling the nvidia drivers again.

[neuralnet]

Thanks for the help so far. okay, well I searched again & found libgl1-mesa-glx installed.. (I'd searched for fglrx) so I removed it. ..and appears to have removed just about everything as a dependency :\ The machine boots to a shell & that's about it. I've done an apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx but that's not done a lot.

[Forlong]

Install ubuntu-desktop (this is a metapackage that will hoipefully take care of the rest you removed):
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

There was no need to uninstall libgl1-mesa-glx. You can have simply reinstall it from synaptic :-)

To get back to a normal state, run the command forlong gave above.

[neuralnet]

I have installed ubuntu-desktop, and nvidia-glx-new and am back into gnome & getting the nvidia logo before login :) However now in restricted drivers (hardware drivers) nothing is listed, despite nvidia drivers being active and have tried reinstalling (restricted drivers & manager). Needless to say, compiz still doesn't work and worse still when I run glxinfo I get this;

*ahem* client glx vendor string: ATI

I'm slowly going strange :/

Can you run 'ldd /usr/bin/glxinfo' and also 'dpkg -S /usr/lib/libGL.so.*' and show us the output? And please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to your post.

Some more info; above is with nvidia-glx installed. Now nvidia-glx-new refuses to work whatever I do. Every time I boot it drops me into the config wizard before the login prompt. nvidia-glx-envy, along with nvidia-glx works.. by that I mean they display the nV logo at the start, but 3d functions do not work. I kept checking System > Admin > Hardware Drivers, but at no time are any drivers listed here :\

compiz-check still reports the same;

Oh yes, I've also re-installed all the 'restricted' entries in package manager.

[adamk]

Well you appear to have multiple problems going on here.. The first is that glxinfo is symlinking to /usr/lib/xorg/libGL.so.1. I believe that should be /usr/lib/libGL.so.1. Can you show us the output of 'dpkg -S /usr/lib/xorg/libGL.so.1' as well as 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 glxinfo' ?

The second problem is that nvidia-glx-new isn't working. When you use the nvidia-glx-new package, your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file should tell you why it's not working. And you will really want to get that working to get the best performance from your opengl applications. If we're not able to get this working, I may suggest you check with the Ubuntu folks about this since this is clearly goes beyond being a compiz problem.

Adam

[neuralnet]

hokay, Adam here goes;

>dpkg -S /usr/lib/xorg/libGL.so.1
dpkg: /usr/lib/xorg/libGL.so.1 not found.

so the simlink doesn't exist..?

The /usr/lib/xorg/libGL.so* files must be the ones installed by the fglrx drivers. You should move them so a directory not included in /etc/ld.so.conf. Do something like 'sudo mkdir /usr/lib/xorg/old ; sudo mv /usr/lib/xorg/libGL.* /usr/lib/xorg/old'. And then run ldconfig: 'sudo ldconfig'. Now check glxinfo and it should show the same output as the one you received when you did LD_PRELOAD above (which is correct, btw).

Compiz will hopefully work (though, in fact, it may still have problems till you get nvidia-glx-new working).

You beauty ! Running compiz from a terminal throws up some errors, but I have a spinning cube once more :) Yay!

I'll see if I can get nvidia-glx-new working & report back.

Ok, thanks a lot Adam. Have compiz working fine under nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-envy but still nvidia-glx-new refuses.

I'll see if I can get some help repairing my 'hardware drivers' applet, as it was nvidia-glx-new that was installed.. now that and the 'hardware drivers' applet don't want to play.

Thanks again, neuralnet.

Completely fixed as far as I can tell.. Thanks again for your help AdamK. I posted up on the Ubuntu forums *LINK* (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5003186) but didn't get much response.

I installed the NVIDIA driver from the NVIDIA website, not the one from synaptic, but as per this post *LINK* (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=800925).

I have the NVIDIA driver installed, Compiz works and the NVIDIA driver is now showing in the 'hardware drivers' applet. Result! :party:
