Graphic card problem
Hi all,
Just built a new box with following config:- AMD 8-Core FX-8320 Motherboard ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AMD 970 Graphic card ASUS GT730-SL-2GD3-BRK GT730 (nvidia GeForce GT 730) RAM 8G Display Philips BrilliAnce 200WP OS - Ubuntu 14.04 64bit The graphic card couldn't work properly. On Displays Settings it shows "Built-in Display". Please advise where can I download the driver for the graphic card. Thanks Regards satimis |

For installing the Nvidia driver, do not use the one from the Nvidia website, use the Additional Drivers program (can be found in Software Sources in your settings panel) to install the drivers from the repository.

Just preference, I presume...and the OP here has been here quite a while, so it's a bit confusing why someone with over 3K posts and having been here for years would need to ask about how/where to get a driver. |

So Satimis, welcome back from cryosleep - time has finally come to replace as well that CRT monitor :D |
Hi all,
Lot of thanks for your advice. I used graphic card with nVidia chip before downloading the driver from their website but always having problem particularly forwarding it to the VM (VirtualBox). Then I changed to the driver provided/tested on Ubuntu repo. I solved my problem as following:- -> Settings -> Software & Updates -> Additional Drivers (tab) Software & Update Code:
NVIDIA Corporation: Unknown -> [Apply Changes] Reboot Problem gone. The display "Philips BrilliAnce 200WP" detected. Remark: I suppose my problem was caused by forgetting to select "third party software" during installing Ubuntu 14.04 Regards satimis |

Thanks for your advice. I'll check it whether I need to have 2 videocards after I have collected the Transcend 1TB SSD on next Monday. That was ONLY my test on the new components, motherboard, graphic card, AMD CPU and power supply purchased lately. Because the SSD mentioned was NOT available and I have to order it. I used the old Intel 120G SSD as hard disc temporarily. I'll come back after installing VirtualBox and creating VMs on the 1TB SSD thereafter. Remark: I suppose my late problem on video driver was due to "without check" installing "third party software" at time of installing Ubuntu 14.04 desktop. Regards satimis |
I know this is marked as SOLVED, but for the benefit of others with nvidia graphics cards, this may be helpful. I am using Ubuntu 14.04 MATE.
I needed an HDMI port for a new monitor, so I purchased this Asus nvidia Geforce GT 730: http://www.cclonline.com/product/153.../HDMI/VGA2514/ My card is a nvidia GT 730 on a 32 bit system. System > Preferences > Software & Updates > Additional Drivers tab. If you receive the message No additional drivers available, it is because there is a bug in Ubuntu with the nvidia-331 driver (and others?): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...n/+bug/1351699 In order for the driver to show up under the Additional Drivers tab, do this first: Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa The nouveau driver was originally selected. Click on Apply changes. Reboot. NB Please note that the PC may "sit" at the Motherboard screen for a few minutes when you first connect and then again after rebooting. The PC has not totally stalled. It is just sorting itself out. Comparison of nvidia 331.113, 340.76 and nouveau drivers: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopi...4932&start=160 |
