Can someone please help me. I am running Ubuntu 16 LTS. I installed Nvidia drivers using "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current". It installed v304. The issue now is that I don't have a /dev/fb0 device. How can I determine what is my framebuffer device?

Is it possible to make a copy of a web site using wget --mirror. I tried it and it sort of worked but some of the links don't work.
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 16:49:31
Zythyr: nvidia-current is the 304 version driver that might not be correct for your card . What card ' lspci -vnn | grep -i VGA ' and we see if we can match a driver .
Zythyr 2017-03-02 16:53:23
Bashing-om It says I have NVIDIA Corporation ION VGA
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 16:55:00
Zythyr: Pastebin that entire output . so I get the "number" .

is it possible to make running apps in the left-side launcher stand out more than unopened ones? that little arrow and a tiny change in brightness is not enough of a visual indication. I'd like a more obvious contrast, like much darker icons for unopened apps. I looked at Unity Tweak Tool, there's no setting for this.

Bashing-om 2017-03-02 17:02:36
Zythyr: Well, that does not tell me what I need to know . Let's try - lspci -k|grep -iEA5 'vga|3d' - see if that gives me the number .

Bashing-om This is the system where I installed Ubuntu 16 LTS on: http://www.viewsonic.com/us/vot132-vot132-1-19f01591b6ca3ba03f1aedc8db12cdb9.html

Zythyr: is your system up to dat to 16.04.2?
Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:12:29
lotuspsychje Yes, it is 16.06.2
Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:12:42
Bashing-om What exactly are we looking for?
Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:14:13
The reason I installed Nvidia drivers is because if I use the generic open source drivers, I am unable to boot into the OS. I get stuck at a black screen. This occurs when I use a projector (monitor) with a low resolution that supports two modes: 912x1140 or 1280x800. If I use a regular monitor, it boots fine.
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 17:14:30
Zythyr: lotuspsychje As a newer hardware - sure that the 340 driver is not correct . Might just purge the present driver and have the system "autoinstall" and see what the sytem installs for a graphic's driver ??
Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:14:42
However, it is crucial for me to have the framebuffer device /dev/fb0. After installing Nvidia drivers, I can properly boots, but I can't find the /dev/fb0 device
lotuspsychje 2017-03-02 17:15:59
Zythyr: wich driver versions show up at your additional drivers?
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 17:16:44
Zythyr: My "number" >> NVIDIA Corporation GK208 [GeForce GT 710B] .. that GT 710 is a number of reference .
Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:17:34
Additional drivers give me three options: 304, 340, and open source
lotuspsychje 2017-03-02 17:17:53
Zythyr: did you test them all?
Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:19:09
lotuspsychje By default opensource drivers were installed in which I have /dev/fb0, however I have booting issues with my low resolution projector. I tested both 304 and 340 which fixed booting inssues but there is no /dev/fb0. I do see /dev/nvidia0
Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:19:33
According to this and the device id the Nvidia ion could be GeForce 9400?? https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23214

Zythyr: its possible you might need a latest driver from the ubuntu driver ppa
lotuspsychje 2017-03-02 17:23:23
Zythyr: also secureboot can be a problem with nvidia cards, you know ifits enabled or not?
Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:23:59
What is ifits
Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:24:17
lotuspsychje How do I install the latest driver from ubuntu ppa?
lotuspsychje 2017-03-02 17:24:35
Zythyr: if it is enabled

Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:26:44
lotuspsychje Should I do sudo apt-get install nvidia-340??.
lotuspsychje 2017-03-02 17:27:29
Zythyr: no, you already tested the 340 you say and doesnt fix right?
Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:29:31
So then what do I test next? Do I install using "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current"?
lotuspsychje 2017-03-02 17:30:09
Zythyr: no current isnt active anymore, try that askubuntu step, where they add the ubuntu graphics ppa
Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:30:36
I added the pppa
lotuspsychje 2017-03-02 17:31:19
Zythyr: check additional drivers wich ones show up now
Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:32:45
Ohh okay. Let me check that. Also, I think to check this in the Ubuntu Software GUI app?
lotuspsychje 2017-03-02 17:33:38
Zythyr: no, drivers are managed by installing the terminal way, or via additional drivers
Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:35:52
What command do I n eed to use to see additional drivers
Zythyr 2017-03-02 17:35:56

Zythyr: lotuspsychje I stand corrected : http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html says the 340 version is correct .
lotuspsychje 2017-03-02 17:39:28
Bashing-om: perhaps the 340 is built corectly and secureboot could be the boot issue?
acidchild 2017-03-02 17:41:45
