решил проблему полным удалением дров NVIDIA , но это не выход.

А проприетарные драйвера пробовал ставить?

arrecck

во первых, ставьте драйверы в соответствии со статьей в вики, прочитать два раза, чтобы понимать, что вы делаете. (драйвер надо поставить, настроить, отловить ошибки и еще раз настроить)

если не помогло, в гугле очень уж много проблем с этим производителем, в разных версиях драйверов то все чинят, то опять ломают, пишите баг репорт https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers

мне простая, бональная установка дров (из любых источников) не помогает.

в результате настроил вместо дров nvidia — винду 7 так, что Ubuntu отдыхает со своим быстродействием и безопасностью.
сдабо 5 лет просидеть на ХР без антивиря и в итоге после проверки обнаружить полное отсуствие зловредов?и аккаунты никто не «воровал».
всего ушло часа 3-4, а с дровами и kernel бьюсь уже с февраля наверно.
и каждый раз одно и тоже «а дрова обновил?» «скачай run с сайта» «поприетарные поставь» и ведь писал же, все это по 100 раз перепробовано.
баг репорты на английском читать не хочу, ибо уверен на 100% что там нет ответа, потому что существуют еще кучу подобных багов, но с моей проблемой никто так ничего и не решилось

View Full Version : [ubuntu] nvidia settings can’t save to conf file

xkaliburx

March 20th, 2009, 03:55 PM

ok, running nvidia settings (sudo nvidia-settings). Using the newest 180 version drivers. I have an external monitor plugged in, but when I select it, select seperate X view, then the ‘save to x’ button I get the following;

Failed to parse existing X config file ‘/etc/X11/xorg.conf’!

Behind in the terminal screen I see;
ALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Undefined Device «(null)» referenced by Screen «Default Screen».

Any ideas what could cause this? Nothing has been modified by hand, and teh xorg is actually a tiny basic file shown below;

Section «Screen»
Identifier «Default Screen»
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection

Section «Module»
Load «glx»
EndSection

Section «Device»
Identifier «Default Device»
Driver «nvidia»
Option «NoLogo» «True»
EndSection

Thanks

sudo nvidia-settings

let me know how it goes

March 20th, 2009, 06:46 PM

1st line I typed!

ok, running nvidia settings (sudo nvidia-settings).

So that didn’t do it. As the post also stated,
Failed to parse existing X config file ‘/etc/X11/xorg.conf’ is the error in the terminal screen.

So it’s really not a permission thing but something with the xorg.conf file layout which is why I posted it. It seems very small, but I haven’t touched these files since the mid fedora day’s.

Thanks

Hello! I have the same issue. I am trying to run two monitors in twinview off a single nvidia card. I can it up to work beautifully using NVidia X server settings, but when i try to save it, it tells me «Failed to parse existing x config file ‘/etc/X11/xorg.conf’!». Still continues working nicely, but once I log out it reverts to a single screen so i have to start over with each new session. Have tried running «gksu nvidia-settings» and «sudo nvidia-xconfig». Neither makes a blind bit of difference, I still can’t save the settings. I’m still pretty new to linux so don’t understand the code. Any idiot-proof help will be hugely appreciated! Cheers! bob.

This worked for me as well. NOTE: in order to get to the preview button you need to rename your current xorg.conf (its in /etc/X11)

How I fixed it:

1) open a terminal
2) sudo mv -i /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
2) sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf
3) sudo nvidia-settings
4) hit «save configuration»

with the empty xorg.conf, nvidia-settings should properly save the file.

@terrordrone

I’ve had the same problems as you’ve described. I honestly cannot believe they released this version of Ubuntu given there’s a hell of a lot of other problems that have crept in (compared to Hardy).

Anyway, this is what I did to get it working — the first part is what I’ve been doing in the past to lock the resolution for my system in Hardy:

Install EnvyNG

Launch EnvyNG (Applications > System) and installed the driver it recommended (for my system it was v173)

Restart the system.

From here your res might well be OK. But for me, I run a few computers over a KVM so when I start my Kubuntu box it will default to a low res if the system does not have monitor focus when it boots — ie cannot see what monitor is connected) So, to lock the resolution, I also did this:

Install nvidia-settings

Opened a terminal and ran:

$ sudo nvidia-settings
(must be run as root so settings can be saved to xorg.conf)

In EnvyNG, click X Server Configuration

In the display tab, my monitor was correctly identified (22″ Acer AL2216w)

In the resolution pull-down list, select the desired res. For me it is 1680×1050 @ 60Hz.

Click ‘Save to X Configuration File’

Theoretically, that is it… and this is what I have done previously in Hardy (Kubuntu 8.04 and 8.10). However, in 9.04, I find that I get an error and the changes to xorg.conf do not get saved (as per the OP of this thread). I did try creating a blank xorg.conf using sudo touch… but I still couldn;t save the file.

I looked at the output to my console (because I’d launched nvidia-settings from the terminal, as root) and it complained that it didn’t like a setting in xorg.conf. I can’t recalled the error but it related to the use of «Disable». Looking at my xorg.conf I see a section that says:

Section «Module»
Load «glx»
Disable «dri2»
EndSection

So I opened xorg.conf and removed that section (and each time I do something like this I make a backup copy of the file!

Next I re ran nvidia-settings. This time when I clicked the Save to X Configuration File it saved to the file. All apeared to go OK though I got various mesaages about the use of «CoreKeyboard» and others in the existing file. After a while, except the output from the console froze. I waited for a while, got sick of waiting after about 1 min, hit Ctrl-c and then nvidia-settings closed.

I then restarted the system and all has been well since.

That all said, I presume the problem with trying to write to xorg.conf might be because of sections in it that nvidia-settings doesn’t like because ENvyNG had shortly beforehand auto-edited it.

I’d be interested in comments about this.

Here’s my xorg.conf

with the empty xorg.conf, nvidia-settings should properly save the file.

I have a fresh install of Jaunty. I did these exact steps (copied and pasted into terminal) except #4 where I used gksudo.

Result:

root@myubuntu:~# gksudo nvidia-settings

VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Can anyone suggest a solution? (I don’t want to use EnvyNG, even though I used it before and I like it. I’m trying to keep this install as standard as possible.)

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup

create new clean xorg.conf

I had this problem when I was using 8.10 too. Then I used ajayrockrock’s method to fix the problem. I decided to install 9.04 today and found the same problem. For some reason, ajayrockrock’s method didn’t work anymore, but yours did.

That works for me too, but if you had settings in the existing xorg.conf they don’t get put into the new xorg.conf. So afterwards I had to carefully edit and copy the stuff I wanted in xorg.conf.backup to xorg.conf in an editor.

If all that doesnt work, here is what I needed to do ….

If you are trying to save your xorg.conf file after changing settings in the nvidia-settings app you may need to first replace it with

sudo nvidia-xconfig

This will back it up and then recreate it. Seems a fresh install of Karmic Koala 9.10 doesn�t create a valid xorg.conf or it can�t parse it. Whatever the case, that�s the fix.

Then you can
sudo nvidia-settings

Was having this exact same problem, this worked for me

I’m still getting the dang error message. I got it with 9.04 and 9.10.
In the terminal, I am getting more though.

Failed to parse existing x config file ‘/etc/X11/xorg.conf

It seems that the same routines do not work for al. Here is my fix.

I tried run sudo nvidia-xconfig to create a new Xorg.conf. and rename Xorg.conf and run sudo nvidia-xconfig but it didn’t work for me. The file xorg.conf always had the same contents. I have it working now but I had to

1 Run the NVidia X server asettings routine and then go to ‘Save to X Configuration file’
do not save but view the contents copy and paste into a text file and save to the Desktop.

2 In a terminal window change directory to the one where xorg.conf lies «cd /etc/X11/»

3 sudo gedit xorg.conf

4 delete contents

5 Copy and paste contents of previously saved text file into the empty xorg.conf

6 Save it and to prove it works restart your machine.

Well it worked for me, and it’s lots more fun than *******…

Hi,
I’ve experienced similar problems. I installed ubuntu 9.10 and then install the nvidia driver version 96. I’m running it on a dell inspiron 8200 with an nvidia GeForce4 440 Go.
On reboot I get the loading page then the screen turn itself off.

I plugged an external monitor and found out that:
— my laptop screen was set as secondary AND disabled
— the external monitor was set at a low resolution of 640×480 (even so it’s supposed to be 1280×1024) and is the primary monitor
I could change the setting back to the the laptop monitor to default but I couldn’t save the configuration but I ran into more difficulties:
-Failed to parse existing X config file ‘/etc/X11/xorg.conf’
-I then removed the file ‘/etc/X11/xorg.conf’ but i still couldn’t save

The fix took me awhile to find out but it’s now working smoothly. As I could not save the setting directly into the appropriate folder, I saved them on the desktop then copied the file to the appropriate folder. Steps below:

1) change the setting using nvidia X server settings

2) click save X configuration file and save the file onto the desktop

3) open terminal and type: gksudo nautilus (when I want move files that way I do not use command line but open a window with gksudo nautilus so I simply drag files from one window to the other, maybe not the right way but a bit more user friendly), enter your password.

4) navigate to the folder ‘system/etc/X11’

5) drag and drop the file ‘xorg.conf’ and ‘xorg.conf.backup’ which were newly created, into the X11 folder

6) a file named «xorg.cong» already exist so you replace it, same with the other one.

7) restart your PC, and the settings should be saved.

I’m new to ubuntu so it might not be the best way but it’s simple enough and worked for me :p
Let me know if that works for you.

I also received this error.

VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

To fix it, I did the following:

root@myubuntu:~# mv -i /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
root@myubuntu:~# touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I then copied ONLY the «Device» section from the backup to the new conf, since that is what it said was required. Mine was as follows:

Section «Device»
Identifier «Configured Video Device»
Driver «nvidia»
EndSection

I then ran nvidia-settings and saved successfully.
Thank’s works for me too!

How I fixed it:

1) open a terminal
2) sudo mv -i /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
2) sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf
3) sudo nvidia-settings
4) hit «save configuration»

with the empty xorg.conf, nvidia-settings should properly save the file.

This works except, it make makes my terminal app totally white.
Does anyone else know how to fix this?

it’s obvious that this won’t ever work.. file is empty and lacking correct permissions.

doing a

gives it the right permissions…. but if you want even more complicated ways to do the same … I know a couple ( including a re-install ):lolflag:
It’s obvious that you have no idea how permissions work.

The recommended method by nvidia is the one I described
and works for 99% of the users
first delete all old *.conf files
then

nvidia-xconfig
then

sudo nvidia-settings

if that doesn’t work > check that nvidia-xconfig has actually written something in the config file ( in rare cases the parent directory is lacking the right permissions ).
to fix this.

sudo chmod 777 /etc/X11
and run

nvidia-xconfig
again

if still there’s nothing in the file.

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I have a similar problem with nvidia as described in next thread:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1332413&highlight=nvidia

first I had the problem like you all had here,
but I found how to use nvidia-xconfig and nvidia-settings

problem here is that X will not start again once nvidia-xconfig
has written an xorg.conf file.
The only way I get my system running again is log on in console
and delete xorg.conf.
Which leaves me without my nvidia driver …

Yep this seems to be the root of the problem.

The screen section of the config file doesn’t specify a device, this is exactly what the error says, when you read it.

«Undefined Device «(null)» referenced by Screen «Default Screen».

Modify the «Screen» section to specify a Device, in my case this is «Default Device» and you’re in business

Section «Screen»
…
Device «Default Device»
…

Section «Device»

What worked for me was to click on Save to X Configuration File, then Show Preview. Copying the text that appears in the preview window and sudo gedit-ing xorg.conf and pasting the text there to overwrite the old file does the job after restarting the X server (if necessary).

1) change the setting using nvidia X server settings

2) click save X configuration file and save the file onto the desktop

4) navigate to the folder ‘system/etc/X11’

5) drag and drop the file ‘xorg.conf’ and ‘xorg.conf.backup’ which were newly created, into the X11 folder

6) a file named «xorg.cong» already exist so you replace it, same with the other one.

7) restart your PC, and the settings should be saved.

Dear Cybrid

The problem you described is caused by wrong buffered UPNP capability info provided by your screen ( not a flatscreen but a CRT one right ? )..
and I’m also pretty sure the screen has 2 connectors for dual usage ( 2 computers / 1 screen ) or a KVM switch …
( I’ve had that problem a couple of years back when I was using Sony CRT’s )

The solution is quite simple ( but still annoying ) > just unplug / plug the power cord of your monitor for a couple of seconds just before boot / between reboot / after switching your screen from one computer to the other.
This will reset the UPNP info provided by your screen

( This is not a debian/ubuntu/gnome bug, but actually a bug in the firmware of your screen / a different polling method from the OS might also do the trick, but since these CRT’s are phased out there’s not really a point in fixing this )

Happy NY to y’all

Obviously this requires you to install the nvidia drivers & reboot first.

I was having problems not saving, and this was the solution for me. Thanks djamu!

Not sure if this has been mentioned in the thread already, but I solved this issue by manually selecting the resolution and refresh rate settings in the Nvidia X Server Settings utility. Leaving them at their default settings of ‘Auto’ didn’t seem to work, as something was missing from the xorg.conf file. By manually selecting them, I think you forcibly write them into the configuration file. If someone else could confirm this fix, or tell me I’m talking a load of rubbish, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Best method is to get things working:

remove any old xorg.conf / xorg.conf.backup

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
create new clean xorg.conf

sudo nvidia-xconfig
modify & Save to X Configuration File> uncheck merge

sudo nvidia-settings
Obviously this requires you to install the nvidia drivers & reboot first.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Although this was done back in may in 2009, this worked FLAWLESSLY. just copy and paste everything he did, and it will work without a problem!

Hi i am new. I got it to save the info, but the windows to not have a title bar. The terminal is completely white. Is there a way to fix this??

Sigh….

Are you clairvoyant ?, neither am I, or anyone else on this forum.

The more info you provide, the more likely people will give you a decent answer,
for example, how about

> what hardware card do you have ( nvidia / ati )
> how many monitors ?
> installed driver version
> additional packages you installed.

But since this is your first post, here goes..

answer:

most likely your window decorator isn’t running.

click > System > Preferences > Appearance, Visual Effects tab?

are there additional settings, can you enable them there ?

I could give you a couple of links with answers, but what to do depends on the info you have to give.
And please do yourself a favor > avoid old posts ( pre 2009 ).. these are completely outdated and should be ignored ( that includes all «xorg.conf» howto’s

awaiting your reply

Also:
you know, there’s a search function on this forum :rolleyes:
( search for «white terminal» )
a google on «ubuntu white terminal gives > 489,000 results, about any of those on the first page will give you some answers ( do check the date of posts > skip older posts…

but whatever, I might as well help you here and redirect you later ( question is also off-topic )#-o

NVIDIA Card Version 96.43.13
1 monitor
started after reboot changing xorg.conf file.
Figured out how to workaround problem but no visual effects. Turned it to Normal to none. But would be great to be able to use visual effects.

NVIDIA Card Version 96.43.13

1 monitor

started after reboot changing xorg.conf file.

Figured out how to workaround problem but no visual effects. Turned it to Normal to none. But would be great to be able to use visual effects.

driver version 96.43.13 ? why such on old one ? that one is ancient. ( might well be the reason )
what graphical card do you have btw ?
ubuntu version ? 32 / 64 bit ?
did you manually edit xorg.conf ? > don’t

either install the latest driver from the repository ( 185 I believe ), or download the latest from nvidia ( 190.52 ) and compile it. ( very easy )
Compiling the latest nvidia driver:
note following onto a piece of paper

> download driver from nvidia to /tmp ( make sure it matches your architecture (32/64 bit) )

in a terminal type.

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

this will kill your current gnome session ( save all open files before doing that )

cd /tmp
sudo chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.53-pkg2

this will make the installer executable

TIP: you don’t (ever) have to type the complete name > just type sudo chmod +x NV and press 2x the TAB key ( it will autocomplete, this works with any command )

then do

sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.53-pkg2 and press enter

this will start compiling the latest driver > answer yes to all questions.

after that

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

this will start gnome again ( with the new driver )

adjust your screen to your liking

sudo nvidia-settings and save it.

if the white terminal still exists > come back.

if it works, my essential eyecandy:
> click > System > Prefences > Appearance > Visual Effects > extra …

close
open synaptic ( enable all repositories and reload )

install:
fusion-icon,emerald,compizconfig-settings-manager,avant-window-navigator,desklets,screenlets

fusion-icon > compiz management

—switch between compiz/metacity window managers
—switch between gtk/emarald windows decorators
—access compiz settings manager ( here’s where all the goodies are )
—access emerald theme manager > install cool decorators ( install decorator themes before enbling them !!! )

> 25 cool themes > http://www.webupd8.org/2009/06/25-great-looking-compiz-emerald-themes.html
> theme repository > http://compiz-themes.org/index.php?xcontentmode=103
(http://compiz-themes.org/index.php?xcontentmode=103)

important: enabling «loose bindings» in compiz options will improve performance on Nvidia cards

avant-window-navigator OSX style panel

desklets,screenlets gnome widgets

blurred transparancy howto ( look at my screenshot )

Enabling transparancy blur in compiz alone won’t work 2 steps :
> Open emerald theme manager > Emerald settings > Compiz Decoration Blur Type > All decoration
> Open Compiz settings manager > Blur Windows > pick either Gaussian / Mipmap ( what works best for you )

um.. ok, after I kill, I see a blank screen. I searched online and people were saying remove a line from /boot/grub/menu.lst. My system does not even have this file. I want to be able to install the latest driver!

Did you properly read what I wrote ?
/boot/grub/menu.lst has nothing !! to do with your driver
do you mind giving me that link where you saw that ?
( most likely a very old post you read for changing ACPI )

also ubuntu 9.10 is using grub2 > there’s no more /boot/grub/menu.lst ( it still might be there after an upgrade from a previous version )

Also I did ask you to provide me some more info…
It would be nice it you’d do so, saves me some time quessing.
mmmm
It seems you’re using quite an old card ( geforce2 MX ), I doubt it even supports composition. ( linux itself will run fine though )

I can’t help you in this thread > ask in the appropriate one, your problem has nothing to do with the current topic here, Me ( or someone else ) might help you there,
but in any case using such an old card will severely limit your options.

from the sparse info you gave, following thread might help you

Ok, I reloaded Ubuntu 9.10 and I told it to recreate the file with
sudo nvidia-xconfig. Then I saved the new one. THEN, I went to the Compiz Wiki and went under trouble shooting and this is what I saw,

With nvidia drivers earlier than version 100.14.09 drivers, you may not be able to see any window borders. To fix the problem, either run the following command:

sudo nvidia-xconfig —add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24
I put in this code, restarted, and FINALLY IT WORKED!
Thanks for the help anyway!

I also had the same problems as many others here, but after following directions here was able to get nvidia x server settings to finally save to xorg.conf, with the resolution I want to use, 1152×864. But like you, on every reboot it resets to a lower resolution (800×600). I may have the same problem that you discovered — gnome x settings overwriting the nvidia settings. Unfortunately, I’m still fairly new to ubu, did some searches and tried to figure out on my own how to change those settings, but not able to figure it out. Can you point me to the correct file to edit? I thought it might be gnome-display-properties, but when I run that it wants me to use the nvidia utility instead.

Also, I know I have seen threads about issues similar to this before, and will do some searches again, but since I am posting now and it is related — I have an old CRT monitor that doesn’t get detected correctly, so nvidia x server settings doesn’t present me with the correct resolution and refresh combinations. Here are the monitor’s specs:

Max Resolution 1600 x 1200 / 77.0 Hz
Max Sync Rate (V x H) 180.0 Hz x 97.0 KHz
Factory Preset Resolution Modes 1600 x 1200 / 77.0 Hz , 1280 x 1024 / 90.0 Hz , 800 x 600 / 149.0 Hz , 1024 x 768 / 118.0 Hz

After nvidia writes the xorg.conf, I have this:

Section «Monitor»
Identifier «Monitor0»
VendorName «Unknown»
ModelName «CRT-0»
HorizSync 28.0 — 55.0
VertRefresh 43.0 — 72.0
EndSection

The only options that nvidia x server settings gives me (I’ll skip everything below 800×600) are:
800×600 Auto, 72Hz, 60Hz, 56Hz
1024×768 Auto, 60Hz
1152×864 Auto, 60Hz
1360×768 Auto, 60Hz

The 1152×864 resolution is about right for me, but the 60Hz is very hard on my eyes. I used to run Windows with this monitor at 1024×768 or higher, and refresh around 75 or 80, and it was fine.

I tried manually editing the HorizSync value for my monitor in the xorg.conf, but it didn’t help. (Do I need to be restarting a service each time I manually edit xorg.conf?) I also had the line

Option «metamodes» «1152x864_60 +0+0; nvidia-auto-select +0+0»

I tried changing the 60 to 75, but it rewrites it and adds the line

# Removed Option «metamodes» «1152x864_75 +0+0; nvidia-auto-select +0+0»

When I first switched to ubu, I had an Intel graphics adapter (now I have GeForce8100), and I was able to follow some posts I had found to manually edit my xorg.conf and got it to allow me to use a higher refresh. But I was faking it, and my xorg.conf probably ended up a lot uglier than it should have been. Here’s what I had ended up with then for the Monitor and Screen sections:

Section «Monitor»
Identifier «ViewSonic»
VendorName «ViewSonic»

HorizSync 24.0 — 82.0

EndSection

I’m thinking I need to do something similar now to get the higher refresh rate option, but I’m worried that it might make the nvidia driver mad if I don’t know what I’m doing. Also, unless I resolve the issue that the gnome settings seem to be overwriting the nvidia settings, it will probably get worse.

Can anyone help? Thanks!

Edit:

Also, I think this should be a how-to. In my search over the net on how to solve this issue I’ve found out that there seems to be quite a few people suffering from this.

I also received this error.

VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
At least one Device section is required
To fix it, I did the following:

root@myubuntu:~# mv -i /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
root@myubuntu:~# touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I then copied ONLY the «Device» section from the backup to the new conf, since that is what it said was required. Mine was as follows:

Section «Device»
Identifier «Configured Video Device»
Driver «nvidia»
EndSection

I then ran nvidia-settings and saved successfully.

Yoohoo !!!!
1 Problem … I cannot see Close, Minimize, Maximize buttons while in 16 bit color depth … BUT the xorg file could atleast be written

I had Gutsy 7.10, and I never had this problem …

now with 9.10, I have a few problems… Cannot isntall xmms NOR could safe the Nvidia config file… Im glad you guys helped me .. But why cant I see buttons on 16 Depth mode :'(

A+ A+ thank u so much guys.

!!FIXED in Ubuntu 9.10!!

ERROR -> «Failed to parse existing X config file ‘/etc/X11/xorg.conf’!»

Alrighty this is what I did to fix it..seems to be working now

(Simple Version)

1) sudo mv -i /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
2) sudo nvidia-settings
3)Click «Save Configuration»
4)Click «Save Preview»
5)Copy text from preview
6)sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
7)Paste info from Preview and save
8)Restart to test

(Extended Version)

1> open a terminal

2) sudo mv -i /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
rename the xorg.conf file…well I don’t know why..but it a good idea to save stuff right?

3) next enter the Nvidia Settings and click the «Save Configuration» button that gave you the error

4) it should pop up with something that is essentially asking where the file you just renamed is..

5)Click the «Show Preview» button select and copy the info

6) open the terminal

7) sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
this creates a new «xorg.conf» file and opens it with gedit
needs to be edited in sudo mode—The «etc» directory is normally «read only»

Paste info from «Show Preview»

9) Save the file and you’re done

10) Restart to test

Come on. With the amount of money poured into M$ it should not even be compared with Ubuntu. Doing so emphasizes the quality of Ubuntu and the lack thereof in M$. Good examples of what large sums of money should do are Google and Apple.

run sudo nvidia-xconfig to create a new Xorg.conf.

if there is a problem with this, rename Xorg.conf and run sudo nvidia-xconfig.
That worked !! Thanks a lot !

Best method is to get things working:

remove any old xorg.conf / xorg.conf.backup
Code:

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup

create new clean xorg.conf
Code:

sudo nvidia-xconfig

modify & Save to X Configuration File> uncheck merge
Code:

sudo nvidia-settings

Obviously this requires you to install the nvidia drivers & reboot first. this worked like a charm!

I am running ubuntu 9.10 64 bit with nVidia Geforce 9400GT.

I have tried ALL of the proposed methods to cure this but it still reports errors and does not update the file.

1. empty the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
2. sudo nvidia-xconfig it reports:

Using X configuration file: «/etc/X11/xorg.conf».

VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Backed up file ‘/etc/X11/xorg.conf’ as ‘/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup’
New X configuration file written to ‘/etc/X11/xorg.conf’

3. sudo nvidia-settings
I select the 2nd monitor (disabled) and select Configure and then Separate X screen and OK. Then I do a save to X config file. This is the Preview:

It has the Merge with existing file checked. Saving fails with «Unable to open /etc/X11/xorg.conf

If I try it without the Merge I get the same error.

If I copy the Preview and edit it into the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and then run nvidia-settings I see no errors BUT the changes are not shown in the nvidia window. BUT when I try to save without making any changes to it I get the following errors:

This nvidia app USED to work some weeks ago while I only had one monitor. Recently, I noticed something odd during a normal ubuntu synaptic update where it updated the kernel (I think) and the nvidia stuff. Upon rebooting the display did NOT work. Some video recovery thing kicked in and asked if I wanted to go back to a previous video driver. I said yes and it rebooted and the display was OK. A friend thought there was some post about a kernel change that broke the latest nvidia driver and to fix it would require kernel src and recompile. I don’t have that and am very new to ubuntu so I’m not wise enough to do that.

Today I plugged in a second monitor and wanted to get it running. This led me to the problems I describe here.

Help!

Didn’t work for me. Same problem, 9.10 on 86_64, and 185.18.36 drivers. nvidia-settings choked on the empty file (‘At least one Device section is required’ to the tty and then segfaulted). Do you happen to know what it changed in the xorg.conf file so I can put it in myself?

I had a similar problem a while back. try this if you havent already

sudo nvidia-settingslet me know how it goes

THANK YOU!! worked perfectly for me, allowed me to save the xconfig file and I can now switch users without needing to re-configure my x screens. Thanks a million!

I used ajayrockrock’s solution above, with a twist.

1) open a terminal
2) sudo mv -i /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
2) sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf
3) sudo nvidia-settings
4) hit «save configuration»

Now «hit save» would still not work on my Lenovo S12 Ion netbook but I could see the preview file. I copy the contents of the previewed xorg.conf to my clipboard and continue after step 3:

quit nvidia-settings

gksudo nautilus

go to etc/X11/xorg.conf, right click and gedit it.

paste the preview file’s contents here, save and close.

Thank you for your support guys

try this:

1) backup and remove xorg.conf
cd /etc/X11
sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup
sudo nvidia-xconfig
cd /etc/X11
sudo rm xorg.conf

2) configure your screen

gksudo nvidia-settings

3) save to X configuration file at:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

enjoy!

I’ve tried the steps outlined in this thread, and still no luck. I’ve moved the xorg.conf file to xorg.conf.backup, touch’ed /etc/X11/xorg.conf , and ran (sudo) nvidia-settings, but when I tried to save my settings, it still «failed to parse /etc/X11/xorg.conf»

I have been looking for a solution for this issue for quite awhile, to the point where I’ve lost track of how many things I’ve tried.

I had to manually set the default resolution, by editing the …..can’t remember filename…. under either «display» or «screen» (screen i think) While I’ve thought of changing the 1024×768 to2048x768, but I want to be able to watch media on my tv in fullscreen without having to resize the totem window every time. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Just found this on another thread — you must install python-gtk2. Try running from a terminal:

sudo apt-get install python-gtk2

I guess most of you guys are using KDE, too. Well apparently nvidia-settings uses python-gtk to ask for your password to write xorg.conf with root permissions AND this does NOT work with KDE, unless you install the python-gtk2 package.

This is a better solution because you don’t need to run the whole nvidia-settings program as root, just type the password to write the file with root permissions. This will also solve similar issues with other programs that use python-gtk2.

Hope this helps.

** I KNOW this is a stale, old thread, bear with me please, if you will, as it comes up w/Google query «nvidia-settings save file location» && many others. **

This is a better solution because you don’t need to run the whole nvidia-settings program as root, just type the password to write the file with root permissions.
Yes, ofc. The reason I’m posting here, however, is because many users/posts said to run nvidia-settings with sudo, instead of using gksu; which is a must (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo):

You should never use normal sudo to start graphical applications as root.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo

PS.

[..] you must install python-gtk2.
sudo apt-get install nvidia-common will take care of ALL that.

There is a problem with NVIDIA driver for many years. I deal with it copying same xorg.conf file for more than 6 years already. That nvidia-settings is saving anything in conf file it is an illusion. It always goes back to settings pre-set in installer and for unknown reason does not reflect changes which are so promising available in nvidia-settings program. One can choose better resolution, better quality, sharpening etc. — first — it is not reflected in settings, it is not included in future restarting a driver in next reboot. Is it an advertising gimmick? I like Ubuntu more than MSW. There are those little imperfections which annoying people, can make them go elsewhere… Do what promised or do not promise at all!

On practical note, I would be very grateful for explanation how to correct nvidia-settings and permanently change them to desired values? But in easy xorg.conf example? Do I need to change different file as well?

cannot change nvidia settings

Hello,
Sorry, but I’m really getting annoyed that things just aren’t working for me with linux.

I installed the nvidia driver for my system but when I change anything I get a ‘Failed to parse existing X config file ‘/etc/X11/xorg.conf’!’

When I run ‘sudo nvidia-settings’ from a terminal window it shows the error as follows:
‘Undefined Device «(null)» referenced by Screen «Default Screen».’

When I search for this I find an entry in a ubuntu forum that says it isn’t a permission issue but a X configuration and the fix was to do the following:

Code: Select all

1) open a terminal
2) sudo mv -i /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
2) sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf
3) sudo nvidia-settings
4) hit "save configuration"

But this doesn’t work either.

VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
At least one Device section is required.

All I want to do is change my settings, surely it can’t be that hard!

Hello,
I managed to ‘fix’ it by using the preview option then editing the xorg.conf file manually using sudo. But now I still have the same problem, my normal user cannot make changes to the screen settings.

There’s also something wrong with my display, after making the changes to allow dual display my laptop monitor is dull and very dark. Changing the brightness/contrast/gamme just doesn’t seem to get it right either.

And I can’t manage to get it to move applications from one window to the other, you’d think all you have to do is drag it and it would move, but it refuses to do this. When dragging a window the mouse just stops at the screen edge.

[edit]
Just in case I need to follow your instructions to get things working I got as far as the first step:

neil@house-linux-laptop ~ $ sudo stop *dm
stop: Unknown job: *dm
neil@house-linux-laptop ~ $ sudo Xorg -configure

Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.

Thanks for any help.

Try this …

sudo nvidia-xconfig <— you only have to do this once

Then ..

sudo nvidia-settings

Now you should be able to save your settings ..

Hope that helps

Hello,
Well that turned out to be a bit of a disaster

I tried your two commands, rebooted and this is what I got:

1. Two screens, hurrah. However,my laptop had the toolbar across the bottom as normal except the ‘menu’ button was missing so I could not select any menu. My top display had two toolbars, one across the bottom which had a date/time as per the main laptop display and to the left the ‘hide all’ icon, and one to the top which was an original gnome bar with a gnome icon and menus for appliations, systems, etc.

2. The screen constantly flashes and I can’t do anything. The dialog is showing the item ‘panel encountered problem. loading gnome oaf11d:gnome:FastUserSwitchApplet’ with cancel/delete buttons, but they can’t be clicked as the screen just flashes.

Eventually I fixed it by opening a terminal and copying back my backup xorg.conf which just has the following:

Code: Select all

Hello,
Almost there, I appreciate all your help

Firstly, I fixed the ‘cannot move windows between displays’, the brighness issue and the ‘flashing dialog’ (though this one sounds like a bug to me). I was using ‘separate x windows’ when I should have been using ‘twinview’. However, I was only able to let it update the settings by using a terminal and running ‘sudo nvidia-settings’. My old unix skills have failed me as running ‘chmod 666 xorg.config’ results in a bad command

So a couple of questions:

1. I selected my laptop as the ‘primary display for x’ but it is my other display that is getting the toolbar, the desktop icons, the background, etc and I can’t seem to get it to move it to the bottom display.

2. How do I change it so my user can modify these files. I can’t even use the gui file explorer to change permissions as there is no ‘run as…’ type command like you get with windows (mind you, I think this is possibly because Microsoft patented this ability).

3. How do I set my background using twinview as nothing seems to come out very good. In windows when I set a background it would repeat the image on both displays which was great. The only options I have are stretch (which obviously looks wrong, tiled which doesn’t work as that would only work if the image matched the display size exactly, centred which makes the top and bottom of each display wrong).

Thanks.

I have solved this by logging in as root, then going to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Rename the xorg.conf file to something else. While still logged on as root, go back to the nvidia settings, make the changes you want and save. You may still get an error message but ignore it and proceed. You may need to point to the /etc/X11 folder using their tool and key in the name of the file you want to save to, which is xorg.conf. Log out of root and back into your user account. Now whenever you log on your settings should be retained.

My guess is that this is poor programming on the part of nvidia, not anything to do with Linux Mint or Linux in general. I hope they will fix this so that it will be more obvious how to save the settings.

I had to scour the web for a fix for this. I forget what I did, but it wasn’t the fix on this thread. Someone was saying it was only an issue in Mint-64… Not sure.

This is something that really needs to be fixed. These sorts of things will put a new Linux user off of Mint in a hurry.

cebalrai—As I said in my previous post I don’t think this issue is the fault of Linux Mint. When you download a nvidia driver, you are working with a piece of restricted software developed by nvidia—not Linux Mint or any other distribution of LInux. Nvidia should have made an easy way to get this done.

In any event, I have used the technique described in my previous post with every installation of LInux Mint that I have done and with other distributions as well, and it has always worked. It looks like the nvidia driver won’t save with changes if it finds a file with the same name already there. Apparently you can’t delete or rename the file unless you are logged on as root. I’m sure there are other ways to accomplish this, as indicated in some of the other posts but I think the method I describe is easiest for a newbie (which is what I am.)

Редактируем файлы..
При установке он сказал что «нужно подправить». Файл xorg.conf. И подробности в документации. Где её взять «документацию» ?

А при запуске «sudo nvidia-settings».
говорит
You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.

Надо куда то вписать «nvidia-xconfig», и перезапустить «Х server».
Испытываю нехватку информацию. Как сделать?

root@root:/usr/lib/nvidia# nvidia-xconfig bash: nvidia-xconfig: команда не найдена
Что то интересное, происходит….

======
Так, теперь по пунктам.

1. скачал эту nvidia-settings
2. скачал nvidia-xconfig
3. выполнил nvidia-xconfig

4. sudo systemctl restart lightdm.service

И опять висим, восстанавливал по «старой схеме».

Кстати вот что говорит терминал, при создании этого файла xconfig:

ЦитироватьVALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
At least one Device section is required.

Что бы это значило?

Ну вроде нашел инфу, только боюсь её воспроизводить.
https://wiki.debian.org/ru/sgfxi

ЦитироватьВозможные проблемы

На этапе установки скрипт выдал предупреждение о том, что не удалось удалить модуль Nouveau. Решение: на самом деле sgfxi сразу удаляет модуль Nouveau из ядра, но для продолжения работы потребуется перезагрузка системы и повторный запуск скрипта. Так как модуль Nouveau уже удалён из системы, то вам не удастся запустить xserver. Его можно будет запустить по окончанию установки.

Я так понимаю что если не получится, то всё каюк системе? От простого редактирования файла xorg.conf , толку не будет??

Хелп, как не угробить всё?

Не ну бред!

Для кого написаны эти программы?
Поставил sgfxi,. запускаю… А он говорит, «приблизительно». Нужны рут права, и нечего мне тут подсовывать всякие sudo. Error ‘211″.

И как с таким бороться? Чего он предлагает, разлочить рут, ради видеокарты? А ключ от квартиры,. где… — не дать?

Мда…

Скопировал из терминала:

Цитироватьroot@root:/home/root# sgfxi
ERROR: (211) You cannot start sgfxi with sudo. Please start sgfxi
properly as root (use either ‘sudo su -‘ (note the ‘-‘ at the end)
to become root, or login as root directly). If ‘sudo su -‘ does not
work, please let the sgfxi maintainer know, and if your system
has root locked (why would anyone do that?) then you will have to
unlock root.

See your distro manuals or help pages to fix this issue in that
case, and also make sure to update any documentation or how-to’s
for running sgfxi with your distro. This means you, Ubuntu/Mint users!

Typical signs of sudo failures are respawnings of your desktop while
sgfxi is running, or failures to create directories.

Блин Блин.Блин!!

удалил xnvidia-xconfig, вообще всё удалил!
Поставил Bamblebee и nvidia-detect.

nvidia-detect No NVIDIA GPU detected.

Ну теперь я начинаю понимать, что это за зависания были..
И чего делать?
