Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nvidia-glx
I used to have problems with enabling NVIDIA drivers using the nvidia- glx package, when using the command nvidia-settings enable it seems to mee from the forums that many people had the same problem I had, namely: Error: your X configuration has been altered. This script cannot proceed automatically. If you believe that this not correct, you can update the md5sum entry executing the following command: md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf | sudo tee /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum otherwise edit manually /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change the Driver section from nv to nvidia. and if you do run the md5sum thing, it breaks your xorg.conf. in the end, i went to a terminal and used sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg I thought that would be a problem to new users, but I quickly forgot it. Today, however, cosmomolo brought it up on the forums again, and I think I found a quick fix for it. adding the -fgnome switch to dpkg-reconfigure gives you a gnome dialog to configure the package - so is it possible to include the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -fgnome into the nvidia-glx package, so that it allows the user graphical configuration? ps: excuse me, I'm new to launchpad, so if I'm at the wrong place, please kindly point me :-) the nvidia-glx package lives here http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/edgy/x11/nvidia-glx ** Affects: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17 (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- NVIDIA 3d drivers can be configured by GUI https://launchpad.net/bugs/61844 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
