Card nvidia, Linux Mint and W520?

I'm on a W520 possessing a videocard of nvidia Quadro 1000 m, running Linux Mint 17 xfce (64-bit)

Recentley, I came across a situation that required OpenGL 3.3. Best I can tell, my card intel integrated can support above 3.1!

So I went to try to get the nvidia card work. Note to all the world at this point... Installation of the nvidia proprietary drivers directley Apparentley is the worst thing to do.

I went to install the drivers of bumblbee (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee) and have since been frusterated with an nvidia card not working.

I went to the cat bourdon, scourd the web for my problem, tried to re - install on a fresh USB... Nothing works.

Has ANYONE else been in this situation? What are the steps that you took to get a functional nvidia card?

Heres a dump of information from my problems. Basically, running glxgears optirun does not work.

I have no experience with anything else that Fedora works on my W520, but before installing dual boot linux partition, I turn it on discrete rule. It is a bit of annoyance to have this go in the BIOS before the OS, but it of the only way I got everything to go smooth and figures.

  • Can't play CRYSIS and GEARS OF WAR on portable computer with card Nvidia 7900 GS?

    I wonder if anyone here have the chance to play two games CRYSIS and GEARS OF WAR on PC Toshiba laptop with Nvidia 7900 GS cards.

    The reason why I asked this question-> because I have 2 problems:

    (1) GEARS OF WAR first need new driver for Nvidia telling me this massage * to run Gears of War with your current hardware configuration, you must install the following software update or updates: *.

    * + NVIDIA ForceWare 163.44 driver *.

    * If you do not install this software, at some point, the game ends and your progress will be the lost.* and give me another massege when I click on play

    the massage is * this application has failed to start because xlive.dll not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem *.

    (2) on CRYSIS game working, but with very poor quality and a few fast breaks during playback I tried to graph affecting minimum put the same thing happen...

    I hope that someone here can give some advice on the above issues, and a suggestion for a new driver will be appreciated ;)

    see you soon
    abman

    Hello

    _ _Regarding point 1)

    Check out the www.laptopvideo2go.com site and to update the graphics driver!
    This site contains some useful nVidia drivers that can run on laptops.
    But note; pilots can be used only at your own risk!

    _ _Regarding point 2)

    Crysis needs huge resources for laptop. I think that the card Nvidia 7900 GS is not strong enough to run the game with full graphic details!
    I read on some game sites that you need a desktop PC of very high technology with that of the new series of nVidia 8600 to the smooth running of the game!

    Best regards

  • VMWare Workstation 12 and 18 of Linux Mint (Ubuntu 16.04) and vmware tools or open-vmware-tools

    I created a new virtual machine using VMWare Workstation 12.1.1 build-3770994 with a guest OS from Linux Mint 18 (which is built on top of Ubuntu 16.04). I have two monitors on my system, the two 2560 x 1440. I am unable to get this virtual machine Linux Mint 18 to cover all of my two monitors when I disable "Accelerate 3D graphics" in my vm settings, I get an error. I have another Linux Mint 17 VM running on the same VMWare Workstation 12 on the same host machine from Windows 10 and it is able to expand on my two monitors very well with "Accelerate 3D graphics" disabled, but he does not open-vmware-tools.

    I have read instructions telling me to install open-vm-Tools-Office in this guest operating system of Linux Mint 18. I did it. Then I restart the guest operating system. When starting, I can click on 'Enter full screen mode' in my menu of VMWare Workstation, and the guest OS has a monitor as expected. When I then click on "Cycle multiple monitors", I get the following error. "The virtual machine could not be changed to the selected screen layout. If you add a monitor to the host computer, you must turn off and turn on the virtual machine to use this monitor. »

    vmware-monitors-error.jpg

    I can optimize my VM to automatic adjustment, only one of my two screens, but not both. I tried to uninstall and reinstall open-vm-tools, open-vm-tools-desktop and restart. I tried to use /vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl's original vmware tools and who does not work either.

    In my vmware.log, I get these two lines that occur when I get the above error.

    When I activate "Accelerate 3D graphics" with the configuration described above, I am able to use both of my monitors. Why is this the case?

    I think remember having to disable "Accelerate 3D graphics" in my Linux Mint 17 comments vm because it would crash randomly. I try to run this VM Linux Mint 18 with 3D acceleration and see if it crashes, but why is there a difference with spanning multiple monitors?

    Thank you.

    I didn't experience this problem for a few weeks. I don't have a definitive answer to my original problem.

    I installed Mate instead of cinnamon 3 to my MINT 18. Then, I created a new VM with Ubuntu Gnome 3 16.04 running as the OF. I did have problems with both approaches. I also tried using Firefox as my main browser instead of Chrome, as I read that Chrome can have problems of memory. It could be a combination of several of these changes that have allowed me to work without problems.

    Knowing what I know now, I think the move away from cinnamon 3 is what seems to have fixed my problems. I can certainly say that you use Firefox consumes less memory, as I can monitor the monitor system under Ubuntu. Chrome would eventually eat all my system memory, that I could see. The extent of the why? I'm not sure at this point.

  • Please help with WRT54GS v.6 and Linux Mint 9 aka Ubuntu 10.04

    I use an Asus PCE - N13 wireless adapter.  I have no problem connecting to the router on Windows XP and Win7.  However on my linux, I see the SSID, but it does not connect to it.  I check if the WPA/WP2 setting is correct and password is correct.  The router uses the latest firmware.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!

    If you are able to connect to the network wireless on windows computers, so I think that the router is working properly.

    Make sure you have the correct network key.

    Open the router configuration page. Go to the tab wireless security wireless tab. Check the wireless security settings. Go Mac Wireless filter sub Tab. Make sure that the wireless MAC address filtering is not enabled. If it is enabled, then disable the wireless MAC address filtering.

    Go to advanced wireless settings void / tab Change the interval of tag to 75, RTS threshold to 2307, 2306 fragmentation threshold.

    Delete the profile of the network wireless recorded from your Linux computer and retry the connection to the wireless network.

  • How to install check speller of the Serbian language in Linux Mint

    Hello, I use Thunderbird 31.6.0 on my Linux Mint 17. I tried to follow the instructions that are on this web site to install dictionaries new Auditors of spelling, but it does not work. It is said that it is not available for my platform. However on my Windows computer it says that this version is not supported. In the comments of this page in someone explained workaround. You need to download the add-on, rename the .zip extension, unzip it and copy the files unpacked in C:/Program Files/Mozilla Thunderbird/dictionaries. I did and it worked!

    Is it possible to do a similar thing with Thunderbird for Linux Mint?

    I wanted to do the same trick but I didn't know where is the Linux dictionaries folder.
    I did some research on Google and understand. So here's how to do it:

    1. go on here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/%D1%81%D1%80%D0%BF%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8-%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%87%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA-serbian-dictiona/

    2. right click > save link as
    3. you will get a file as, rename the file and be sure to make it .zip
    4. unzip the
    5. in this new folder as you open dictionaries folder and copy all the files you have there
    6 open your file manager and go to/usr/lib/firefox/dictionaries
    7 stick y files you just cope, you do need to root premison to do so then right click in the window > open as root and then paste it

    That's it, you'll have dictionaries for Firefox and Thunderbird.

  • Hello from Firefox with camera backwards (with linux Mint 17)

    Hello, I am running Firefox 36.0.1 and I tried the new addon from Hello. Unfortunately, my camera is displayed upside down. It was the same problem I had using Skype and I had to update libv4l and that worked. It still works now for Skype, but Hello the problem is back. (I use linux Mint 17)
    Any suggestion?

    Skype and Gtalk for linux are 64-bit by default, but Firefox is a 32-bit program (for now). LD_PRELOAD = /usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so will not solve this problem in Hello because it is a 64-bit library.

    Using /v4l1compat.so is the right idea, but that error "cannot open shared object file" comes from the kernel and not from Firefox. "Cannot open shared object file" means that the file is not there or that your user name is not allowed to read. Verify the path and permissionsv4l1compat.so (after checking that the library is there and that it has the appropriate permissions) and then try to run: LD_PRELOAD = / usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so/usr/bin/firefox

    So after working all day to get my OS to work together I tried to use Thunderbird on my Linux Mint 17 64-bit. Entering my details, Thunderbird says they're wrong. I checked and checked several times that they are right. I looked around and the farm, I could find what it's useful about my question was a post about something similar on Linux Mint 16 64-bit when all what it says was "reset firewall gateway", which is not exactly the most useful thing. Either by the way, I also reset the router everything and even CHECKED that nothing has been blocked through it and as far as the linux firewall goes, I do not have or have not activated it AFAIK. I'm quite new to Linux in general so I need something that is quite easy to understand in what terms a solution, assuming that everyone knows. I'd like to get this to work because it is pretty well the last obsticle in my own way. If anyone knows anything that might help, please share! Thank you!
