Purgeing Nvidia and reinstalling drivers

[madsaint]

Hi all,

I'm running Vesa through my Nvidia output to monitor. The screen is vertically compressed and horizontally stretched. No amount of adjustment in system settings seems to change any parameter, be it screen size, color or brightness. I've read many of the threads regarding this and can conclude that I need to remove /var/log/xorg.o. When I changed card and driver in MCC, the screen went blank on restart. Ctrl Alt F3 brought the console up and querying the system confirmed /var/log/xorg.o was an issue. I've booted up with nuveau and get the same result as nvidia, screen goes blank after login.

I'm running an x86-64 (I think, definately not a 32) machine with Nvidia Ge Force 610 card with an M5 x86-64 full installation.

Can you run me through the full code inputs to query the system about compatibility and issues and if determined through the file removal and driver reinstall. I suspect that my system reverted to the Intel default during M5 installation.

Please Help,
madsaint

/var/log/Xorg.0 is only a log file. It positively is not your problem, though what your problem is will be reported there.

So, you should copy/paste the contents of that log file here so people can look at it.

[doktor5000]

Please show the output of

Code: Select all

lspcidrake -v | grep VGA
rpm -qa|sort|grep nvidia

And there's never a need to remove /var/log/Xorg.0.log as that's the logfile that has the important information WHY the X server will not start.
Although if you say after login the screen goes dark then X was already running. Please switch again to nvidia driver via MCC as shown in e.g.
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Setup_the_graphical_server and https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_chang ... hic_driver and then reboot.
After you logged in and after the screen has gone dark, switch to another tty via e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F2 and login as your normal user,
then copy away the logfile and later attach it here. To copy it away use e.g.

Code: Select all

cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~/

the logfile will be located in /home/username/ then.

Hi doktor5000,

A quick question before I begin. How do I get the desktop back after I save the log files? Do I have to reinstall M5 or is there another way?

Regards,
madsaint

[doktor5000]

Check the second link: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_chang ... hic_driver
Select a different display driver which works (e.g. vesa) and then reboot.

Hi doktor5000,

Got it. Thanks. results to you soon.

[madsaint]

Hi doktor5000,

I tried a few times and couldn't' get any response. I get:

Code: Select all

-bash:  1spcidrake;  command not found

And for saving log I get;

Code: Select all

cp: cannot stat ?/var/log/Xorg.0.log ?: no such file or directory

I'm at a loss.
Regards,
madsaint

[doktor5000]

-bash: 1spcidrake; command not found

You entered number one instead of a lowercase L

cp: cannot stat ?/var/log/Xorg.0.log ?: no such file or directory

Why did you enter a question mark before the log filename ?

[madsaint]

Hi doktor5000,

Sorry, but the lowercase L comes up different on my computer, hence the mixup. As for the question mark the original symbol was entered as ~/ but read as ?

I'll try again.
Regards
madsaint

[madsaint]

Hi doktor5000,

I entered the first two commands and got responses. However, I just cannot save the output. I've tried again and again and still get "no such file or directory". Is there another way or directory in which to save It?

I get question marks as I did earlier when I never entered any.

What d I do now?

Regards,
madsaint

[doktor5000]

You can save the file anywhere you want, you just need to find it afterwards to upload it here.

[madsaint]

Hi doktor5000,

What's the code to save it to documents?
Regards,
madsaint

[doktor5000]

Same as mentioned above, cp. But as you already had issues with the copy source using another destination probably won't fix that ...
You could try to use some file manager like mc for this ...

[madsaint]

HI doktor5000,

Qkay, now I' m lost. Dolphin is my file manager What is mc and how do I activate it? Code string please?

Sorry to be a pain,
Regards,
madsaint.

[doktor5000]

You mentioned that the screen goes dark after login when you use the nvidia drivers, which is the point where we need the log to hopefully see why it goes dark - how do you want to use dolphin then?
mc is a file manager for the commandline, short for midnight commander (similar to norton commander back in the days). And you activate it by running mc, like any other command. That is, if you have it installed, if not please install it via software management.

[madsaint]

Hi doktor5000,

Gotcha! Will that mean;

Code: Select all

mc /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~/

please comfirm.

Regards,
madsaint

[madsaint]

Hi doktor5000,

I can't find midnight commander on my MCC, I can however find gnome commander, described as similar to norton commander. I'm
running KDE. Will that work?

Regards,
madsaint

[doktor5000]

Gotcha! Will that mean;

Code: Select all

mc /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~/

No, as you obviously had problems entering the source and destination, why would that be different if you replace the command in front of that? mc is intended to be used interactively.

I can't find midnight commander on my MCC, I can however find gnome commander, described as similar to norton commander. I'm
running KDE. Will that work?

gnome-commander is also a graphical application so won't work if your X server doesn't start. Either as root use

Code: Select all

urpmi mc

to install mc or in software management you need to set the fiter from "packages with GUI" to "all" - see 1) in http://doc.mageia.org/mcc/5/en/content/ ... html#d4e65

Hi doktor5000,

Thanks for the tips. I'll get on it as soon as I can.

However, the instruction "rpm -qalsortlgrep nvidia" gave me an error reading. Please let me know if its enough information and if you need the output of the second command. I'm at a loss as to how I can't get an output this time. Good news is I can save it to desktop.

It's a pipe not an l and should have spaces for and aft
so

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | sort | grep nvidia

Edit: I just checked spaces aren't required.

[doktor5000]

Output doesn't seem to be necessary, nvidia driver seems to working fine, can't see any obvious issue from the log.
Either your monitor advertises wrong refresh rates / EDID data or it is being forced to use a refresh rate or resolution that's too much for the monitor.

Can you please post the contents of your xorg config?

Code: Select all

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
ls -al /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

should do it.

@Ken: Yep spaces aren't required, less typing

Awaiting your diagnosis,

[doktor5000]

So seems it only contains the standard TV modeline drakx11 adds by default, but which may be harmful.

Is your monitor Acer G195HQV being offered in the monitor selection of drakx11? http://doc.mageia.org/mcc/5/en/content/XFdrake.html

[madsaint]

Hi doktor5000,

Sorry no G195GQV is offered on drakx11. Which is why I chose the generic. Any way around this?

Regards,
madsaint
