Re: Device Driver Manager - Help needed

Thanks, zerozero (how did you find that)!
Exactly what I was looking for...but it means that I have to change the code handling the chipset dramatically: chip ID instead of chip name.
Why hasn't Ubuntu developed its own nvidia-detect?
That would have been so much easier...

Schoelje,
just remembered this viewtopic.php?f=59&t=112403
with the imminent 310.x release all these cards http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3142 will move to a new 304.legacy branch

and this page will eventually be updated to reflect that

If these cards move to a new legacy branch, I suppose new driver packages will become available in the repositories.
When that happens, I'll need to change some minor DDM code.

As for now, I've changed about 20% of the Nvidia code in DDM.
With your lists, I don't need nvidia-detect to tell me which driver to install, so it doesn't need to be installed, which saves time.
Code for Debian and Ubuntu based systems are the same, so maintenance-wise it's a good thing you gave me that headache :)

I'll post the new DDM when I've tested it.

Thanks to zerozero I had to change a large part of the code that handles the nvidia cards ;)

On LMDE I used nvidia-detect to get the appropriate driver.
Now that is not necessary anymore: a list is used with all supported cards (using the PCI ID, which is far more reliable than the card's name).
Code is simplified because the logic is the same for Debian and Ubuntu based distributions and that makes me happy: less code to maintain.

I tested the new version on my PC with LMDE 32, LMDE KDE 64, LM 13 XFCE 32 and all seems in order but I'd like you to test it with your hardware as well.

You can download the .deb file here:

Sorry to report 0.2.3 DDM did not work with my hardware
Mint Nadia Cinnamon 64bit
(where it did before with 0.2.2)..... :cry:

It did not detect my Graphics: Card: NVIDIA GF104 [GeForce GTX 460]

Re: Device Driver Manager - Help needed

Postby Schoelje on Sat Nov 10, 2012 4:49 pm

I am deeply, deeply ashamed...I can't seem to read properly! :oops:

zerozero helped me with a list of supported PCI ID's...in the 195 driver series...and we're in the 304 series...
So I found the list for the 304 series and what did I find: the Geforce GTX 460!

I've updated the list in DDM and uploaded the deb:
http://www.schoelje.nl/lmdekde/packages/device-driver-manager_0.2.3_all.deb

@GeneC: would you like to try it again?

You certainly have nothing to be ashamed about, my friend.... :wink:
I have trouble SPELLING Nvidia, nevermind making a Linux driver installer for it.... :lol:

That said, sorry.... :cry:
Still, no workie.

Re: Device Driver Manager - Help needed

Schoelje,
not sure if this helps you
http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/10de

also this
Code: Select all
What is the format of a PCI Bus ID?
   

Different tools have different formats for the PCI Bus ID of a PCI device.

The X server's "BusID" X configuration file option interprets the BusID string in the format "bus@domain:device:function" (the "@domain" portion is only needed if the PCI domain is non-zero), in decimal. More specifically,

"%d@%d:%d:%d", bus, domain, device, function

in printf(3) syntax. NVIDIA X driver logging, nvidia-xconfig, and nvidia-settings match the X configuration file BusID convention.

The lspci(8) utility, in contrast, reports the PCI BusID of a PCI device in the format "domain:bus:device.function", printing the values in hexadecimal. More specifically,

"%04x:%02x:%02x.%x", domain, bus, device, function

in printf(3) syntax. The "Bus Location" reported in the /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0..N/information files matches the lspci format.
   

How do I interpret X server version numbers?
somewhere here in the faqs http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/L ... E/faq.html

and this

I think I know what's happening, but I need to be sure.
Could you post the output of:

I don't know if you have seen that before.

My ethernet works perfectly btw.

Edit. Another interesting point is that the log file identifies my processor as single core.
Code: Select all
WARNING   PAE kernel cannot be installed: single-core system

In reality it is an intel T7300 which is dual core.

@GeneC
My suspicions were correct :D
There is a difference between 0e22 and 0E22.
lspci returns the PCI ID in lower case while I have all ID's in upper case...and those do not compare.
I didn't notice that because my hardware ID's were numeric...
Code has changed and I tested it with the string you provided...and it worked, so can you try it again?

What do you usually do to get wireless with this chipset?

About PAE:
Could you post the outcome of the following codes:
Code: Select all
uname -r
uname -m
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l

Broadcom is not my wireless card it is my Ethernet card, it uses the tg3 driver (may be built into the kernel, not sure) My wireless card is Intel 4965 AGN that uses the iwl4965 driver and also works normally.

Here is the output you asked for:

Code: Select all
mint@acer ~> uname -r
3.2.0-32-generic
mint@acer ~> uname -m
x86_64
mint@acer ~> cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l

Ok, so I don't need to address that.

Aha, I see you've installed the 32-bit version on a 64-bit system...I never thought of that.

So...I suppose you can install pae on any x86_64 system (because they are all pae ready)?

I made some changes to the code handling PAE:
  • It should now also detect a 64-bit system and propose to install PAE.
  • Selecting the latest PAE headers and image in the repository has been improved.

So, if anyone would care to try it out:
