Finally, the nvidia gt540 graphics card driver is installed in ubuntu, And the effectugt540

The nvidia gt540 graphics card driver is installed in ubuntu. It is estimated that many children's shoes have left installation for fear.

First, let's look at the effect.

 

 

 

 

~$ lspci |grep -i vga00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 540M] (rev ff)

 

During this period, I encountered many problems. Record them.

Use Bumblebee to control NVIDIA dual graphics card (Ubuntu) http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2012-09/70418.htm

This is different from what I described when I tested the effect:

When optirun glxgears is executed, the following error occurs:

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

[ERROR] Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

Then, search for the information and find that the pci ID of the busid is modified.

Such as: http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2013-07/87369.htm

Http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php? F = 42 & amp; p = 2986284

 

However, my configuration file is correct, which is not the same as what they have. Instead, I can continue searching for information.

 

No clue, logout, restart, Reinstallation, all kinds of tossing.

Again with the http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2012-09/70418.htm repeated again, this time updated the next pci Information

 

sudo update-pciids

At this time, the problem is different.

[ERROR] Cannot access secondary GPU, secondary X is not active.

I searched again, but I still couldn't find a solution. I almost gave up. I suddenly remembered that there was a ask ubuntu when installing the system.

Found http://askubuntu.com/questions/295270/failing-to-initialize-nvidia-gpu

 

I finally saw a different solution, and I had to give it a try. [PS: What Baidu finds is the same, and google is helpless ~~~ Only Haha]

In order to fix my problem in Ubuntu 13.04, I performed the following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppasudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install nvidia-319
 
I then installed bumblebee by the method described by the wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee
To test, I installed mesa-utils, and ran optirun glxgears with great success!
The only thing I would like to check now is whether the bumblebee version offered as default by the repro is the latest 3.2.1 released on the 26th of April. Either way it is not a hassle to upgrade.

Ubuntu13 and 14 of the driver should be slightly different, By the way to see the nvidia-319 is not the latest version. Go to nvidia and check it out. 331 is very new.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppasudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install nvidia-331

Haha, install and restart. Check the vga information again.

lspci | grep -i vga00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 540M] (rev ff)

(Rev ff) It seems to have succeeded.

 

Test:

optirun glxgears

 

Continue:

Enable n card settings:

optirun nvidia-settings -c :8

OK.

 

Bumblebee is used to disable nvidia independent graphics cards. When you need to use an exclusive display, use the optirun program name to manually enable nvidia to run programs that require acceleration.

For example, optirun vmware

All the drivers have been installed. Never give up.

Ubuntu1204 mounted nvidia-linux-x86-25959 graphics card (gt 540 M) driver successfully, but cannot be loaded using now very low screen resolution

I am looking for a command tutorial on the Internet. In ubuntu

An error occurred while installing the NVIDIA GT540 graphics card driver? Program Description: graphic Driver Installation failure explanation

Download the driver wizard. It will automatically search for the driver of the latest certified version. Click Download and install the driver. The N-card driver will only be installed twice. This will tell you when installing the driver, there are two types of installation: clean installation and normal installation. Every time I choose clean installation, it is very smooth.
