Hi there,
I'm working with Linux Mint Felicia 64bit, and a NVIDIA Geforce 9600GT graphics card and would like to use nvtv for watching divx, mp4, mkv etc. on my TV-screen (S-VHS).
Since nvtv doesn't recognize my graphics card, I thought perhaps the nvidia-glx-177-driver isn't the best choice, and wanted to install the original driver by NVIDIA.
But the install process needs to be done outsied of the Xserver, so is it possible, to boot the system in text mode once in a while for maintenance purposes?
I'm also open for suggestions how to solve the nvtv-issue otherwise ...

Re: NVIDIA-driver/nvtv
Code: Select all
sudo telinit 1
Code: Select all
./NVIDIAwhatever the file is called.run
PS I have never even heard of nvtv so I can't help you with that.
Re: NVIDIA-driver/nvtv
thanks for the proposal, but sudo telinit 1 tries to lead to recovery mode, the system gets stuck though.
I've also tried to boot to recovery mode and use the root login, unfortunately my password is not accepted as root password ...

If the nvidia card has a tv output available
In terminal, check
- apt search nvtv
p nvtv - tool to control TV chips on NVidia cards u
Re: NVIDIA-driver/nvtv
Hallo DrHu,
thank you for your reply. The thread you added doesn't give me the needed info though. The nvidia card has a tv output available - it works with VLC Player.
nvtv still isn't able to detect it - neither seems the Totem Movie Player.
The statement "apt search nvtv" gives the following reply:
i nvtv - tool to control TV chips on NVidia cards u
(I've got it installed). Now what?
What bugs me the most, that I'm not able to login on the root level in recovery mode ... caused by some unknown reason my password isn't accepted as root password - can I configure it somehow so that it's accepted? It works perfectly with sudo ...
