I am using a Dell Precision 3561, which has an Nvidia T1200 GPU. I would like to be able to use my GPU for hardware-accelerated graphics under WSL 2, with Rocky 9 as the OS. From what I understand this *should* be possible, but I have not ever gotten it to work. For example, trying to run nvidia-smi just segfaults:

fish: Job 1, 'nvidia-smi' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

If I look at glxinfo, you can see that it doesn't even see the GPU, with the 'llvmpipe' software renderer being the only device:

Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer):
    Vendor: Mesa (0xffffffff)
    Device: llvmpipe (LLVM 18.1.8, 256 bits) (0xffffffff)
    Version: 24.1.2
    Accelerated: no
    Video memory: 15857MB
    Unified memory: yes

    Max compat profile version: 4.5
    Max GLES1 profile version: 1.1
    Max GLES profile version: 3.2

From what I can gather online Rocky Linux 9 uses Wayland rather than X11 - and maybe that is the problem? However, I'm not sure how to confirm this, as XDG_SESSION_TYPE isn't set at all. In case grub is the problem, here's my /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="crashkernel=1G-4G:192M,4G-64G:256M,64G-:512M resume=/dev/mapper/rl-swap rd.lvm.lv=rl/root rd.lvm.lv=rl/swap rhgb quiet"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=true

I've also tried installing kernel headers, specifically kernel-devel, but no luck on that end. I'm using WSL2 along with its latest-and-greatest kernel, and am on Windows 11 - so the common resolutions to the problem don't seem to apply. For context, here are all my current versions: WSL:

WSL version: 2.5.9.0
Kernel version: 6.6.87.2-1
WSLg version: 1.0.66
MSRDC version: 1.2.6074
Direct3D version: 1.611.1-81528511
DXCore version: 10.0.26100.1-240331-1435.ge-release
Windows version: 10.0.22631.5624

Windows:

Windows 11 Enterprise, 23H2

(I'm working on getting this updated to 5.80, but from what I can read about online I did not see reported issues in the 550 range) Full glxinfo here for context:

I'm using a laptop in which I have both an NVIDIA graphic card and the Intel integrated one. Before I updated the NVIDIA driver through Linux Mint update manager, I used to have them both configured using NVIDIA settings and NVIDIA Prime. After the update the driver manager marks the NVIDIA driver as installed, but the Intel graphic card has the following sentence written below "This device is not working" and the only option possible is "Do not use this device". Both xserver-xorg-video-intel, mesa-utils and nvidia-settings are still installed (I've also tried to reinstall them) and I have SeureBoot disabled. When I try to run nvidia-settings it return an empty page and the following error is displayed: ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system How can I fix this situation?

I'm running Garuda linux on my desktop and my computer has 2 HDMI ports and one of those comes from the NVIDIA 2070 super. The regular HDMI works all the time with no issues but the nvidia one just seems to stop working with no errors or anything. If the cable is plugged in on boot it will work if I'm in BIOS but after that the screen is frozen on the welcome to grub screen. I'm guessing this is a problem with my nvidia drivers. How do I trouble shoot?

**Moved this question over from AskUbuntu.** I've looked everywhere online for a solution. I've tried multiple times to install the appropriate Nvidia drivers for my graphics card (**which is a GTX 680**). I've also tried blacklisting Nouveau, to no avail. I'm desperate for a solution, especially considering how a lot of games don't work properly with Nouveau. The only results that I got from attempting to install the appropriate Nvidia drivers were... bad, at best. Upon reboot, systemd would apparently works as intended. But, upon reaching a certain part in the init (around "Reaching target Bluetooth/Swap"), the upper part of the display is corrupted like crazy and the part below remains frozen. (see image below) Side note: this happens even when booting into multi-user mode. Also, **the card is flashed to work with macOS Mojave**, so I suspect that might be the reason why. All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, as well.

I have 2 GPU's in my netbook. How do I know which one I'm actually using at any given moment?

I'm using Manjaro Linux on my laptop with switchable graphic cards:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0b)

03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Venus PRO [Radeon HD 8850M / R9 M265X] (rev ff)

Here's a screenshot of the drivers section of Manjaro Settings Manager: The above shows that bumblebee's drivers are installed, but the daemon fails: [luke@manjaro ~]$ sudo systemctl status bumblebeed ● bumblebeed.service - Bumblebee C Daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bumblebeed.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since pią 2015-09-18 16:22:55 CEST; 29s ago Process: 1192 ExecStart=/usr/bin/bumblebeed (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 1192 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) wrz 18 16:22:55 manjaro systemd: bumblebeed.service: Unit entered failed state. wrz 18 16:22:55 manjaro systemd: bumblebeed.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. During my trial-and-error I also tried to install video-catalyst driver (in window shown above). It ended miserably - after the initial startup the screen was full white. I switched to another TTY and deleted video-catalyst using mhwd. My goal is to be able to play games on Steam. What can you recommend?

I have choppy video and my windows are choppy when I move them around. Also when my PC turns off monitor it does not turn off normally but like the cable was unplugged. I guess I need to install a driver for my new 'graphics' chip. Can someone please provide the 'best' way of installing graphics drivers for my Celeron G1820 CPU. Here is what I get from lspci: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) I can provide any additional info if needed.

I'm not sure what the next step for debugging this would be. I've never used the DisplayPort before, so it may well be an issue with the Intel Drivers. EDIT: To clarify my ports. HDMI1 is my actual HDMI port, HDMI2 is my DVI port, HDMI3 appears to be a clone of DP1, which is my DisplayPort. HDMI1 and HDMI2 work fine, but both DP1 and HDMI3 always show disconnected.

TL;DR: xrandr fails randomly on my system with the error message xrandr: Configure crtc X failed on my setup with two monitors, that are connected to a dockingstation. After I turn on and off single monitors multiple times, I most of the times get it working. I have a setup with a Lenovo Thinkpad on a dockingstation. To that dockingstation two monitors are connected by display port.

I already have some experience with a similar issue at work (seen end of my question) and so I know, that I can, most of the time, fix this by deactivating and reactivating the monitors again and again. I installed arandr for that, because it's made it a little easier to do this over and over again. With only one monitor and the notebook display activated it works all the time. It doesn't matter which monitor is active. Only the two monitors (without the notebook display) does not work. For my (new) setup at home I cannot get this working. I kind-of to get it working, but only with mode "2560x1440" on both monitors. And this also does not work all the time. Sometimes I have to, again, open arandr and de-/reactivate the monitors randomly to get to a state where it works. I couldn't figure out any pattern there until now. Sometimes I just give up, restart my machine and hope that it works afterwards. As already stated, I have a pretty similar setup at work, where I do basically the same. At work this works at least when I start my machine on the dockingstation. If I start the machine, then connect it to the dockingstation and run the command above, I get the same error. Here the _randomly de-/reactivate the monitors_ works as well, most of the times. Has anyone any idea why this happens and how I can fix this?

I have an HP Zenbook Power G9 with Ubuntu, which comes with an HDMI port. My issue is that this port does not work. When I plug the cable into it, nothing happens and the extra screen stays black. I just checked to be sure (it's a dual boot machine) and also Windows does not detect it. Screen and cable work, I tested them with a different laptop. They also work if I plug the HDMI cable into the USB-C port through and adapter. I have tried updating the NVidia drivers and Linux Kernel, but to no avail. Strangely, the HDMI port is not even listed by xrandr:

The setup - T460 thinkpad (Intel HD Graphics) docked with lid closed connected to two external monitors one via DVI and the other via HDMI The problem - During boot, up until the login screen both monitors work fine. But as soon as I sign in the monitor connected with the DVI will go blank about 80% of the time. My workaround solutions to fix this problem - Going back to the login screen via CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE and signing in again will almost always fix it. - Physically removing/reinserting the cable will almost always fix it. Behavior - When logging in and experiencing the problem, the monitor seems to be recognized as I can move my mouse into its resolution, but the monitor claims cable not connected. When did the problem occur? - After moving and going from three to two monitors as well as reinstalling Linux Mint for luks encryption I'm pretty green when it comes to diagnosing graphical problem. I would be happy to paste logs, but I'm not sure which ones would be helpful. Please let me know which logs might be worth taking a look at, or any other suggestions you may have! ----- Edits/ Additional Info ----- The issue is isolated with Linux as this machine can dual boot into windows without the described problem $ lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA' 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Skylake GT2 [HD Graphics 520] (rev 07) Subsystem: Lenovo Skylake GT2 [HD Graphics 520] Kernel driver in use: i915 Kernel modules: i915 | $ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i driver [ 105.041] X.Org Video Driver: 23.0 [ 105.041] X.Org XInput driver : 24.1 [ 105.062] (==) Matched modesetting as autoconfigured driver 0 [ 105.062] (==) Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver 1 [ 105.062] (==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 2 [ 105.062] (==) Assigned the driver to the xf86ConfigLayout [ 105.062] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/modesetting_drv.so [ 105.063] Module class: X.Org Video Driver [ 105.063] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 23.0 [ 105.063] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fbdev_drv.so [ 105.063] Module class: X.Org Video Driver [ 105.063] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 23.0 [ 105.063] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vesa_drv.so [ 105.063] Module class: X.Org Video Driver [ 105.063] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 23.0 [ 105.063] (II) modesetting: Driver for Modesetting Kernel Drivers: kms [ 105.063] (II) FBDEV: driver for framebuffer: fbdev [ 105.063] (II) VESA: driver for VESA chipsets: vesa [ 105.079] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 23.0 [ 105.087] (II) glamor: OpenGL accelerated X.org driver based.

I have been trying to get lutris to work on ubuntu for the last week or so now, but there seems to be some underlying issue with Vulkan and I do not know how to proceed.

I’ve been having some issues with Spotify on Arch Linux (installed from the AUR using yay). When I try to play a song, there’s a noticeable delay before it actually starts (graphically), though I can still hear the audio right away. Sometimes the UI is unresponsive to clicks, I can’t switch songs or interact with it properly. The lag is random, sometimes it works fine, but other times it freezes and makes the app really frustrating to use. Here’s what I’ve tried so far: - Running Spotify from the terminal doesn’t show any error messages. - I’ve tried using the --no-sandbox flag, but that didn’t help. My system setup: - Arch Linux (fully updated) - Display Server: Xorg - GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Max-Q + Intel Iris Xe (Hybrid Graphics), but I’m only using the NVIDIA GPU. - Kernel: 6.12.17 LTS - DE: Plasma 6.3.2 - WM: KWin The issue often happens when I start the application and try to play a song right away or when I’m rapidly switching between songs. It freezes, but it’s frequent enough to make Spotify pretty annoying to use. I also tried disabling GPU acceleration with spotify --disable-gpu, but I got a "stack smashing detected" error, so that didn’t work either. Has anyone else dealt with something like this? Any ideas on what I can try next?

I recently installed Debian on a fresh system with a new SSD, but it has stopped being usable. Now, I can only reach the login screen, which is 50% white. The screen flickers to fully white when I move the mouse, and upon login, the screen goes completely black (no signal to the monitor). I can access the terminal but have no other control. I am using an old Radeon card, an RX 460, but also have an Nvidia GTX 970 installed.

Ars recently tested SteamOS against Windows 10 and [determined on average Windows 10 had a higher frame rate](http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/11/ars-benchmarks-show-significant-performance-hit-for-steamos-gaming/?comments=1&start=40) . Does this have anything to do with Linux's reliance on an archaic graphics system (X11)?

I just installed Debian 11.6 and see that everything looks scaled up a lot. I checked the size of the display and it is 800 x 600 which is quite big having it on my 4k monitor. But me having an NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti should not trigger this because that is some good hardware. I opened Settings and went to the Display section to change the resolution and I can only see the resolution but not change it. How can I change the resolution of the display?

I installed Kali Linux 2 on my laptop and need to configure a triple monitor setup with it. At the moment, I have a Belkin Dual DVI docking station and a Startech DVI to USB 3 converter. On Windows 7, I had two of my monitors use DVI to connect to the Docking station and the third monitor used a USB 3 port on the Docking station. Here is a picture of my setup on Windows 7 which worked perfectly okay: An here is a picture of my Docking station: Here is a link if you want to know more about the Belkin docking station: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-B2B122-BLK-Display-Docking-Ultrabooks/dp/B00JG0ZG8Q Now, when I launch Kali 2 and connect my Belkin Docking station, one of my screens turn green but the other 2 remain off: Running lsusb **before** connecting the docking station looks like this: root@kali:~# lsusb Bus 004 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp.

Is there any image viewer (like eog) for linux which can do the following: Show 2 (3 or 4) images of a directory with maximal possible sizes on one page at the same time. When I click "next", it should show me the next 2 (3 or 4) images of that directory and so on.

specifically for RHEL-8.10 (or later I guess) where the old /etc/X11/org.conf is no longer used. - With a monitor connected off the server vga motherboard port, - and having one or more nvidia graphics cards installed, - When installing RHEL-8.10 from iso as Server with GUI the graphics at the monitor connected at the server vga port port works. You can get through the installation process until it says reboot and then after that the accept license agreement screen graphically even comes up and works. - But after that the graphical login screen when prompted to enter username is just a blank screen. - It was intermittent, doing a ctrl-alt-f2 would sometimes give you the completely text based multi-user.target style of display but after subsequent reboots that no longer works such that you either have to have systemctl set-default multi-user.target in effect or SSH into the system and do a systemctl isolate multi-user.target to get any kind of functionality on the console VGA monitor. - an lspci | grep -i vga responds with - 03:00.0 VGA compatible...

What causes this, and how can graphics in RHEL 8 be fixed in this situation? What files do I go look for? **How do i instruct Linux to specifically output on 03:00.0 Matrox G200ew3 ?**

I installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS inside a Virtual Box on a new Windows 11 host. Clicking on the File Manager on the Desktop (or on related buttons like trash bin or CD) does not show a normal window but just some colored stripes, sometimes blinking. A screenshot is appended. Other applications (terminal, software center, firefox, ...) run without any problem. Can anybody please give me a hint, where this problem may come from?
