Nvidia on linux 3.8
Anyone with a Nvidia card that has upgraded and got Nvidias drivers to work. I want to know before I upgrade.
Re: Nvidia on linux 3.8
Are you including the 3.8 kernel in KXStudio now? What about the issues with it breaking USB audio?falkTX wrote:I have no idea either, and would welcome feedback as well.
I can backport the drivers from 13.04 if the current ones don't work.
For now, AMD and Broadcom drivers are known to be working with 3.8-lowlatency.

Ubuntu will also use it for the 12.04.3 update in August.
I don't know about it breaking USB Audio though, got any links/info about this?

Oh and I can confirm that 3.8 breaks my Scarlett 2i4.male wrote:Ubuntu bug is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... mments=allfalkTX wrote:Yes, I plan to do so for the next release.

Re: Nvidia on linux 3.8
I use bumblebee/optimus with nvidia and it seems to be working fine for the most part, except sometimes when I boot my color profile gets ignored and can only be fixed with a reboot.
Re: Nvidia on linux 3.8
I can confirm nvidia driver working OK on two machines with recent 3.8 kernel.
One has an old card, the other has an nvidia ion chipset and is using 304.88 (according to nvidia x server settings).
The broadcom driver is unable to install on the ion netbook. Using bcmwl-kernel-source version 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu6~precise1~ppa1 on hardware:
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)
Looking at the failure in the log /var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/6.20.155.1+bdcom/build/make.log displays:
I can boot on kernel 3.2.0-41-lowlatency-pae if I need the wireless.
Hope this is for good use. Thanks.

Re: Nvidia on linux 3.8
How to the Low latency kernals run compaired to the RT? I can try the 3.8 one of those if you point me in the right direction.

Re: Nvidia on linux 3.8
So far seems to be working better for me than the 3.2 rt I opened up ardour record a couple of tracks opened up claudia and cadence and checked everything out 0 xruns. Left everything open and got on the net logged on here. opened up system it seached for drivers. I'm running nvidia (recommended) (current) Still no xruns. I couldn't open a program before while recording with out getting xruns. Thinking about tempting fate and lowering my buffer size.
Wait.... I just opened thunderbird and checked my emails no bitches repied to my cl ad, but I still haven't gotten any xruns.
Seriously no graphics glitches or anything wierd yet and runs a lot more stable than 3.2rt.

Re: Nvidia on linux 3.8
Never mind it was running great woke up this morning and still seemed to be running well had to restart my computer and it past the kxstudio logo screen to a screen with a little line and wouldnt get past that. Messed with it all morning. Then tryed a reinstall.I installed ubinti 12.04.2 64bt instead of 12.04 i might of messed that up somehow too. Not running very well ardour 3 wont open up wont create a session or something like that.
I might reinstall again start from the beginning and see what happens.

Re: Nvidia on linux 3.8
I re-installed KXStudio on my friends machine earlier, which has an embedded AMD/Radeon mobo GPU. 'Additional Drivers' successfully detected and installed fglrx on this machine with the older, 12.04.1 kernel (was in 3.2 or 3.4, I forget?) but it finds no non-free drivers for 3.8.
I know there are other ways to install fglrx (which I've not attempted yet) but I thought I'd best report this here. I'll get the the model of the GPU if required.
Anyone else tried 'Additional drivers' with Radeon under the new KX 3.8 kernel?

Re: Nvidia on linux 3.8
I've been ignoring that error for months. I asked here at the linuxmusicians forum about it since I was concerned about it, but others mentioned they had been seeing it and ignoring it.Slightly OT: Still see this weird error... Seems cosmetic.

If anyone knows more about what this message means, I'd like to hear it.
