[SOLVED]Nvidia nouveau drivers & printer

pelasgos · 2012-03-21 14:00:11

Someone tell me please the steps to install nouveau driver and don't send me the archwiki.... because i installed it badly and i had to re-install the archbang...
Also, i have a Canon Pixma MP-140 and i can't get it work. Where can i get the drivers? Usually in Ubuntu i used the MP150 driver and it worked.

NOTE!!! This nouveau post is for those who have older nvidia chipsets that are no longer supported via nvidia proprietary drivers!! (cards/chipsets that would normally be using the nvidia-96xx and nvidia-173xx drivers) this setup has not been tested on newer chipsets!!

If you have attempted installation of nvidia drivers and related remove them first before proceeding.
Just an Example:

pacman -R nvidia nvidia-utils libcl libvdpau

From root shell/tty to install nouveau:

pacman -S xf86-video-nouveau nouveau-dri mesa libgl

When pacman is finished, again from same root shell:

nano /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

Look for the line in this config file that starts with --> MODULES= <-- Edit it to look as below code box example:

MODULES="nouveau"

When completed save changes to file. (Ctrl X, then Y, Enter)
When back at the root shell prompt do as follows in root shell:

touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nouveau.conf

Now open this new file with nano text editor in same root shell:

nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nouveau.conf

Type in text exactly as shown in below code box example. Then save changes to file. (Ctrl X, then Y, Enter)

    Section "Device"
        Identifier "Nvidia card"
        Driver "nouveau"
    EndSection

Now Run these two commands from same root shell in shown order:

echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf

echo 'blacklist nvidia' >> /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf

Now Remove all "vga=" "xorg=vesa" "nomodeset" options from your kernel commandline in /boot/grub/menu.lst. Open menu.lst file in Nano text editor:

nano /boot/grub/menu.lst

Save changes to file. (Ctrl X, then Y, Enter)
When back at root shell prompt run mkinitcpio as in below code box example:

mkinitcpio -p linux

When initd images are finished building ...and you are now back at the prompt, reboot to see if all is kosher.

shutdown -r now

Earlier versions had "xorg=vesa nomodeset" you would remove this. In your case all you have to do is remove "nomodeset"

Kruppt · 2012-03-22 10:14:36

Not sure but I think these are the drivers you need for your printer.
scangearmp-mp140
cnijfilter-common-i386 OR cnijfilter-common-x86_64 depending on wither your running i686 x86_64 OS
All are packages in AUR.

I started using archbang because I just couldn't get X to configure right with just arch and when I installed archbang X seemed to be configured so that I didn't need to do anything, but was still using the vesa drivers. But I want to use the nouveau or even the proprietary drivers. I followed your instructions Kruppt but I ended up with the samething as when using just arch.

Everything seemed to go smoothly but when I rebooted the screen is completely off centered, x-axis is good but y-axis is about 1.5-2 inches too high on 15.6 in screen. I tried using viewport and virtual when using arch under a display subsection but I didn't see any difference, and eventually gave up.

And It also seems that the computer still runs on the vesa driver, because It defaults to the integrated card instead of my nvidia card. On arch, I had ran X -configure, and tried to alter xorg.conf so it only had 1 screen section and 1 device section with the device defined to the nvidia card with the BusID option, but startx would only error to: Fatal error no screens found.

After following these instructions, I wasn't sure where to go as there is no xorg.conf file, it uses the file in xorg.conf.d. And I am pretty new to Linux. I tired adding the BusID option in the 20-nouveau.conf file, and removing the vesa drivers, but I just got the same error - Fatal no screens found.

I also thought I would be smart and go into the BIOS and disable the onboard video card so it wouldn't be seen by X, but there wasn't an option to do so, but I didnt give up, I then flashed my bios w/ an update - and I saw an option to alter the graphics settings --but there was only options for Switchable or use the integrated card -- no only dedicated.

So I am kinda stuck, I have since reinstalled and currently updating the whole system. I dont' want to go through the steps again and mess up X like it was before. But any advice will be great, if I need to do these steps then post all the log files and settings of the messed up X I will, but just wanted to post first. Thanks in advance.

Mr Green · 2012-03-28 06:39:12

If you read nouveau wiki guide it does state it is experimental, most of the time nvidia works out of the box.

@pelasgos some information would be useful post your xorg log file.

Also make sure when posting threads about video cards/drivers you post output of

lspci | grep VGA

Hmmm I'm not sure the nouveau driver will work with that chipset. (Will look into it when I find some time) I am unfamiliar with these chipsets as I do not own anything that uses them. [GeForce GT 540M] This post would benifit those running older nvidia cards that the proprietary drivers are no longer being updated. (nvidia-96xx, nvidia-173xx) I should edit this post to specify that so others running newer chipsets don't attempt applying this on their systems. I Think you should be attemping to install proprietary nvidia drivers and bumblebee, but can not help you with that as I have not had to deal with these cards/chipsets myself. I think ArchVotex has posted a post in regards to these chipsets sometime in the recent past that may be of some help.

khaos64 · 2012-03-28 15:57:04

Thanks for the reply, I am currently following the Bumblebee wiki, and it says:

Note: If you want to run a 32-bit application on a 64-bit system you must install lib32-virtualgl and proper lib32-* libraries.

Installing Bumblebee with Intel / NVidia

Install bumblebee from AUR, and then install the special nvidia packages nvidia-bumblebee and nvidia-utils-bumblebee for bumblebee:
Warning: Don't install the original nvidia-utils for Bumblebee - it will break your system !

It is secure now to install the nvidia driver:

# pacman -S nvidia

Note: You can install dkms-nvidia from AUR instead of nvidia if you need it.

Couple of questions. 1. Which should I use? dkms-nvidia or nvidia
2. I get the following error when trying to install 'lib32-virtualgl'

: gcc-libs-multilib and gcc-libs are in conflict. Remove gcc-libs? [y/N] 
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: gcc-libs-multilib and gcc-libs are in conflict
Installation failed.

Do I force this, how do I get it to go through? There seems to be a lot of dependencies of gcc-libs.

Thanks.

A quick search showed that the nvidia drivers work fine with this card. Why then do you want to install the nouveau drivers with this card?

Did you uninstall nouveau etc, and undo all the changes done previously when trying to install nouveau?
To go down the path you are now going, you would have to answer yes to the removal of gcc-libs. That is not forcing. If you mean should you use the -f option, no you shouldn't. I have not had any time to really check this out enough to give you a definitive answer on this setup of yours. It looks like you have to install the intel driver first before you install nvidia, bumblebee and related, have you already done this? (intel) I really don't feel right giving any direction on installing drivers in relation to this optimus setup, have not installed drivers for this setup myself. This looks like a mess in the making.

Thanks, this is a new installation that I havent install the nouveau yet, so not an issue, I have installed xf86-video-intel, bumblebee, nvidia-bumblebee - which seems to have also installed nvidia-utils-bumblebee. Thats what I thought about gcc, but it was packer that I guess automatically said no, and so I tired to just remove using pacman, and that failed but used pacman to install gcc-libs-multilib and it removed and installed, then was able to use packer to install the lib32-virtualgl.

Now just have to figure out between the nvidia and dkms-nvidia what is the actul difference?

khaos64 · 2012-03-28 22:48:53

Well actually I didnt have to install either, I went to just install nvidia, not dkms and it said that my nvidia-bumblebee conflicted. So it seems that it installed its own nvidia drivers. I then followed the rest of the wiki and added a 20-intel.conf and 20-nvidia.conf with each having the BusID defined, rebooted and X was there and not off centered. Though it still didn't work quite right, because of some errors I was getting when I tried to test so I saw somewhere where it said to remove the 20-intel.conf. Did that, rebooted bumblebee and ran a test.

[user@archbang ~]$ optirun -c yuv glxspheres

1.582998 frames/sec - 1.381894 Mpixels/sec
1.583272 frames/sec - 1.382133 Mpixels/sec

So seems all is working. I do not know much bout bumblebee and its config but so far what Ive read is that it uses the Intel by defualt and is user defined on when using the Nvidia card, is there no way to reverse it - I would rather use the Nvidia by defualt and then switch to the intel as needed.

EDIT: Spoke too soon, whenever I rebooted and the 20-intel.conf file not in xorg.conf.d, X doesnt start, just a black screen - To get into X I have to add the file back. But then I come back to the same error again where I have to remove the 20-intel.cof file to use bumblebee/optirun......Any suggestions?

I don't have an optimus system, but from what I recall reading it was designed for Windows systems. When gpu load is low, it uses the intel integrated graphics. When high, it switches to the Nvidia. This is to help with battery life. Nvidia stated that it could not be implemented in Linux. Leaving Linux users to run a laptop like this with either the discrete graphics or integrated graphics (not both at same time) much like you would a non-optimus system. Someone smarter figured out how to get 2 x servers running at the same time and created bumblebee to do what Nvidia said could not be done. However, as you are finding out it is still experimental. So if the battery life is not an issue, than the easier option may be to just set the graphics to Nvidia. I am not sure if there is a setting in the BIOS to disable optimus, you may want to look.

Last fall I was looking at a new laptop and starting reading up on the optimus stuff. It looked like it was a mess and not something that would be picked up and fixed by the mainstream linux community, so I avoided laptops with that feature.

How does Jupiter fit into the mix, I know very little about it other than power management.

Dynamic Kernel Modules System
Running a new Kernel requires all modules to be recompiled. DKMS automates doing this, you don't have to manage this your self for future kernel-upgrades.

If it were myself I would go for the normal driver, and if i felt I wanted to try the dkms-nvidia system, I would clone my existing install to another partition, and install the dkms-nvidia driver and related there. Put each to use....see if all worked over a period of time or not..then decide which system I was going to keep after a few upgrades(kernel, xorg, nvidia) on each and such....put both systems through some use before making my choice. If one or the other ended up being more problematic...dump it and keep using the one that seems to be the more solid solution...but that's me.

"In most cases there is no way to use only the DGP (nvidia in your case) and all the switching and rendering is controlled by software"
What I have gathered from reading thus far about this hybrid system, the IGP is the chipset that is actually "hard-wired" to hardware outputs whereas the DGP is not. So if you only wanted to deal with one chipset for the time being, until you have the system hammered out...it would be the Intel driver and chipset that you would want enabled and not the DGP. I haven't been able to really read into this all that much yet ..but here are a few links that may be helpful in keeping abreast of this hybrid bunk..HA.

Thanks for the info, I'll look over those.

Anyone have any idea about the 20-intel.conf file, right now I have to go through this process upon boot, to get working X and Bubblebee.

(20-intel.conf file is named as 20-intel for quick access)

-Power
-(X fails)
-go to tty --- rename 20-intel to 20-intel.conf
-startx
-login
-rename 20-intel.conf to 20-intel
-rc.d restart bumblebeed

pablokal · 2012-03-30 13:30:52

Have you tried to have both files, identical in content but named differently as 20-intel and 20- intel.conf in the appropriate folder?
Apparently both namings are called for.

No, I only change the name from 20-intel.conf to 20-intel so that when I restart bumblebee it only sees the .conf file and work correctly with the nvidia card. I will try though.

Per the wiki:

[ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU

In some instances, running optirun will return:

[ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) No devices detected.

[ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

In this case, you will need to move the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf to somewhere else. Restart the bumblebeed daemon, and it should work. Credit for this goes to Lekensteyn on #bumblebee at freenode.net

A quick search showed that the nvidia drivers work fine with this card. Why then do you want to install the nouveau drivers with this card?

Because, i want to change the resolution to default 1680x1050...

You can achieve this resolution with nvidia drivers if your monitor can actually do that resolution.
Using the nvidia drivers is the way to go for this card, forget nouveau.

Setup the printer via cups from your browser using the below url:
http://localhost:631/

http://localhost:631/

Unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:631.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few

Help please

As root

/etc/rc.d/cupsd restart

Then try localhost:631 again

There is a gui for configuring cups that I find easier than the web interface. See: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra … ter-gnome/ (also available for 32bit systems).

OK now it works i just reinstalled cups xD

Thanks for all the help, seems just removing both 20-nvidia.conf and 20-intel.conf / never adding them to begin with is what solves the boot problem. Seems bumblebee can figure it out on its own.
