lotuspsychje Bashing-om Under Ubuntu Software > Softarwe & Updates >> Additional Drivers I see three options 1) Nvidia 340 2) Nvidia 304, and 3) Nouveau.
lotuspsychje 2017-03-02 17:48:29
Zythyr: still the same as default, adding the ppa should give you more
Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:50:31
I added the ppa, but I still don't see more
Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:50:54
Using this guide, I checked to see if i installed using UEFI method. However my installation is in Legacy mode https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 17:51:19
Zythyr: I find it hard to accept that a system that supports Win7 has such an old generation video card as I apparently find . This may well be beyond my pay grade .
Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:52:45
I still am confused. The 340 drivers are installed perfectly fine. The only issue is I don't know how to get the /dev/fb0 device.
Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:54:15
The reason why I need the /dev/fb0 device is because I am using a program called fbi (framebuffer image viewer) to display PNG images in full screen mode. This program askes me to select my framebuffer device (by default /dev/fb0). But I don't have /dev/fb0 so it gives me error. I don't know what other device to select

Zythyr: why are you trying to use the framebuffer and nvidia?
Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:58:06
I have a projector (mointor) which will connected to the Ubuntu. I want to display images in fullscreen mode for 3d printing application. So I am using the fbi (framebuffer image viewer) sofwtare. The reason I hadd to intall nvidia drivers is because if I use the generic drivers (nouveau), I can't boot into the desktop. I get stuck at blackscreen. The reason for this is because the project
Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:58:07
supports only two low resolution display: 912x1140 and 1280x800. WHen I connect a regular high resolution mointor it boots perfectly fine. Thus I need to install nvidia driver to get Ubuntu to boot properly when connected to the projector
Ben64 2017-03-02 17:58:26
desktop or framebuffer, pick one
Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:58:41
Ben64 What do u mean
Ben64 2017-03-02 17:58:46
exactly what i said
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 17:59:33
Zythyr: Looking at my log file . the target appears to be " (II) FBDEV: driver for framebuffer: fbdev " .
Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:59:46
Ben64 Are you suggesting I should boot directly to console instead of desktop gui?
Ben64 2017-03-02 17:59:59
if you need framebuffer yes
Ben64 2017-03-02 18:00:09
but i don't see why you actually need framebuffer
Zythyr 2017-03-02 18:00:30
Bashing-om Log file of waht are you looking at?
Zythyr 2017-03-02 18:01:11
Ben64 I need framebuffer becasue the fbi program dispaly my desired PNG to framebuffer: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/fbi.1.html
Ben64 2017-03-02 18:01:23
so use a different program
Zythyr 2017-03-02 18:01:39
Don't have any other option than using fbi
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 18:01:45
Zythyr: /var/log/Xorg.0.log .
Ben64 2017-03-02 18:01:58
Zythyr: you have a desktop, you have tons of choices
Ben64 2017-03-02 18:02:19
why use one of the only programs that doesn't work for what you want?
Zythyr 2017-03-02 18:02:30
Bashing-om I don't have /dev/fbdev.
Zythyr 2017-03-02 18:02:54
Ben64 Other alternate programs also utilize framebuffer
Ben64 2017-03-02 18:03:10
framebuffer isn't what you want
Ben64 2017-03-02 18:03:15
i don't know why you think it is
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 18:03:40
Zythyr: Affirmed .. me neither .,.. why I went looking for a different target . /dev/fb0 does not exist .
Zythyr 2017-03-02 18:05:53
Bashing-om Even my log says "(EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory"
Zythyr 2017-03-02 18:06:21
Ben64 Then how to acheive what I am trying to do? My end goal is 3d printing. Framebuffer is fastest way to load/display image?
Ben64 2017-03-02 18:06:35
no
Ben64 2017-03-02 18:07:11
i don't see how displaying an image = 3d printing but theres all sorts of programs that display images
Ben64 2017-03-02 18:07:20
eog, display, pqiv, etc

ubottu 2017-03-02 18:17:37
Necy: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 18:18:10
wafflejock: :) // look trice then "do it " :)
wafflejock 2017-03-02 18:19:02
heh yup
wafflejock 2017-03-02 18:19:33
just don't rm -rf something like the poor guys at gitlab or do whatever AWS did the other day that broke the internet

Hey everyone. I hope distros a lot and want to keep my /usr/share/icons and /usr/share/themes folders between installs. Is there a way for me to put those folders on another partition and create a link each time I install a new disto? I have them on /mnt/data/[icons/themes] now, but when I delete /usr/share/[icons/themes] and try sudo ln -s /mnt/data/[icons/themes] it doesn't work all the way, only certain themes/icons work
enfinitee 2017-03-02 18:30:56
hop distros*

(hopefully i can eventually edit the grub file in gedit)
