Thread: nvidia 190 on hardy: I've got nvnews.net stumped!

-

situation: hardy/8.04. new nv g210 video card. g210 needs 190 driver, not 169 comes 8.04 (nvidia-glx-new 169).

added http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu hardy main sources list, , installed nvidia-glx-190

things seem installed correctly, can see:

code:
user@mythtv:~$ dpkg -l | grep nvidia  ii  dkms    2.1.0.1-0ubuntu1~nvidiavdpauppa1    dynamic kernel module support framework  ii  nvidia-190-kernel-source   190.53-0ubuntu1~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa6   nvidia binary kernel module source  ii  nvidia-190-modaliases     190.53-0ubuntu1~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa6      modaliases nvidia binary x.org drive  ii  nvidia-glx-190    190.53-0ubuntu1~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa6     nvidia binary xorg driver  rc  nvidia-glx-195   195.22-0ubuntu1~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa2     nvidia binary xorg driver  rc  nvidia-glx-new    169.12+2.6.24.18-26.3     nvidia binary xfree86 4.x/x.org 'new' driver  ii  nvidia-kernel-common    20051028+1ubuntu8      nvidia binary kernel module common files  rc  nvidia-settings     1.0+20080304-0ubuntu1.1      tool of configuring nvidia graphics driv  ii  nvidia-settings-190    190.42-0ubuntu1~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa1    tool of configuring nvidia graphics driv
(note, can see tried 195 drivers, when didn't work either, went 190). what's interesting these package names karmic in them, though added hardy repo. strange, load kernel, should ok:

code:
user@mythtv:~$ lsmod | grep nvidia  nvidia               4718832  0  i2c_core               24832  13 dvb_pll,lgdt330x,cx88_vp3054_i2c,tuner,tea5767,tda8290,tuner_simple,mt20xx,tea5761,cx88xx,i2c_algo_bit,tveeprom,nvidia  agpgart                34760  2 nvidia,intel_agp
what think problem reason card not recognized:

code:
user@mythtv:~$ lspci | grep nvidia  01:00.0 vga compatible controller: nvidia corporation unknown device 0a65 (rev a2)  01:00.1 audio device: nvidia corporation unknown device 0be3 (rev a1)
it says "unknown device"
8.04

interesting have separate partition 9.10 on (long story why both), , recognized there:

code:
user@mythtv:~$ lspci | grep nvidia  01:00.0 vga compatible controller: nvidia corporation gt200 [geforce 210] (rev a2)  01:00.1 audio device: nvidia corporation device 0be3 (rev a1)
this explain why x not work 8.04. here (ee) in 8.04 x log:

code:
(ee) failed initialize glx extension (compatible nvidia x driver not found)
looking further, how reconcile these 2 outputs:
code:
user@mythtv:~$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version  nvrm version: nvidia linux x86 kernel module  96.43.05  tue jan 22 19:36:58 pst 2008  gcc version:  gcc version 4.2.4 (ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu3)    user@mythtv:~$ in `locate nvidia.ko`; ls -la $i; done  ls: cannot access /lib/modules/2.6.24-24-generic/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko: no such file or directory  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9587988 2009-12-16 19:32 /lib/modules/2.6.24-24-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko
the first 1 says have module loaded compiled in jan 2008.

posted of on @ nvnews.net linux forum. aaron nvidia said:

quote posted aaronp
that first date when driver built @ nvidia , second date when kernel module compiled system (i.e. when installed package). you're right wrong version of driver installed. i'd suggest contacting ubuntu's support forum figure out why ubuntu packages not working correctly.
so:

  • i have 190 driver loaded, , apt-get , dpkg confirms this. appears older 1 loaded kernel.
  • nvidia says appears packaging issue, , need "check ubuntu.


ideas?

interesting, have tried card older set of drivers?

salve, prima di installare joomla, vorrei porvi tre semplici domande: 1) l'ultima versione in italiano di joomla, supporta questo template prodotto da gavik? loro scrivono che non è un semplice template, ma una vera e propria suite, ma vorrei una vostra opinione. qui sono descritte le funzioni della suite. 2) per sfruttare gli elementi che si vedono nella pagina, ad esempio quello in alto sinistra dove scorrono le notizie, occorre installare qualche componente aggiuntivo? 3) futuri upgrade alla piattaforma joomla, potranno inficiare il funzionamento o la compatibilità del template? vi ringrazio anticipatamente della disponibilità. 1) non vedo nulla di particolare se non una miriade di posizioni per blocchi 2) è un modulo se non sbaglio pagamento, ma adesso non ricordo bene 3) no. ti ricordo che devi installare joomla  1.0.12 Board index Joomla!

SD Datastring Convention

i wondering if there preferred convention appending data logged?  see standard sd example uses: code: [select] void loop() {   // make string assembling data log:   string datastring = "";   // read 3 sensors , append string:   (int analogpin = 0; analogpin < 3; analogpin++) {     int sensor = analogread(analogpin);     datastring += string(sensor);     if (analogpin < 2) {       datastring += ",";     }   } creating string called datastring, , appending it, have seen in forums string not liked.  around this, code data logging looks this: code: [select] void sdupdate() {   datetime = rtc.now();   unsigned int hour = now.hour();   unsigned int minute = now.minute();   unsigned int second = now.second();   char datastring[100] = "";   char char_current_pay[15] = "";   char char_overall_pay[15] = ""; ...
