I'm using a laptop having dedicated graphics card with Ubuntu and Windows 7 dual boot. The windows 7 idle temperature for cpu is 51C average and gpu is 46-48.5C, and when in load Cpu temp varies between 55-61C, and GPU 49-51 MAX.
But in ubuntu idle temp CPU: 54c
Gpu(ati radeon,proprietary driver installed): 50C
and on load
cpu: 58-69C
gpu:53C max.…
I had Gnome Shell working perfectly on my desktop, and I tried to install it on my laptop by the exact same method, (tried apt-get, synaptic and software centre), but it won't work. It seems to install fine with no errors. If I select "Gnome" at login, I get the "Gnome Classic" interface rather than Gnome Shell.
My laptop has sufficient specs to…
Hi all,
I noticed that video performance on my Thinkpad X100e was very poor compared to Windows 7, so I installed the ATI fglrx proprietary drivers by using the "Additional Drivers" dialogue box. The system has an ATI Radeon Mobility HD 3200 chip.
The result of installing the drivers is pretty devastatingly negative, with symptoms such as skewed…
I should preface this with saying that this is not my first rodeo. I started playing with Linux in 1999 (Red Hat) and I'm currently typing this on a ThinkPad running 12.04...
When I put in the live cd, I boots, and I can get to the option menu to decide whether to install/run etc, but at any point beyond that I get only a single caret. I can type…
I have a machine with an Nvidia graphics card. Unfortunately the GPU fan is very loud. It's very annoying at times.
We never use this machine for intense 3d work - that GPU is probably not working very hard at all. I'm pretty sure I can run it at a much lower fan-speed without causing any problems.
The nvclock utility can be used to manually…
I am just very confused which I should choose in terms of high end game development. The application that I am designing is pretty simple, requires some 3D, and some effects. I am looking at a game similar to ping pong, but with high textures and graphics. I will just need web services to submit high scores.
From my description, you can see…

TO get it to even boot, had to add the nomodeset parameter to the kernel. Otherwise will not even start up X

I'm not able to switch to Seamless Mode in VirtualBox with Ubuntu 10.04 or 9.10 as guest OS's. I have tried the seamless mode with XP as guest OS, and it works absolutely fine. The host OS is Windows 7.
I have in-built Via/S3G Unichrome Pro IGP graphics, and I have allocated 30 MB out of 64 MB of graphics memory. I've also 1.5 GB of RAM.

Hi I've just installed Ubuntu 13.10 on a Lenovo w350 and am having some issues with graphics driver.
standard nouveau drivers work great on the laptop display but when I attach an external display it goes bad on the external monitor, seems it's not re-drawing properly. (Photo attached).
I've tried other drivers but none of them detect…
I have a triple monitor setup with two video cards on Ubuntu 10.04.
I have the monitors and graphics cards currently setup as follows:
Nvidia Geforce 210 #1
- 1920x1080 Monitor (Twinview) [Center - Monitor #1]
- 1920x1080 Monitor (Twinview) [Right - Monitor #2]
Nvidia Geforce 210 #2
- 1920x1080 Monitor (Separate X Screen) [Left -…
I'm planning to create a game on my own and will most likely hire an artist in the future. I just want to know if making a game in 2d will a lot cheaper than making it on 3d?
Here's my plan:
If it will be a 2d game.. I'll probably make a platform game. More like a Braid level of graphics.
If it will be a 3d game.. Closest of graphics…
First of all i'm new at ubuntu. I've only tried 11.10 before 12.04. Since then my notebook's(Dell Insprion 5110) fan was working non-stop. And also battery lasts in 2 hours. So i made a research. Some said it's about graphics card driver. I've tried so many things, so many codes but i get no result.
I must say that i've tried ironhide…
Being first to try Ubuntu.
But Where are my Hard Drives/Local Disks on the COMPUTER/System Folder in Ubuntu 12.04?!
Before installing 12.04 i had tried the Ubuntu 10.10 Version Live and it was perfect in showing my Local Disks. But it couldn't recognize my GTX 470 Graphics driver so i thought of trying the recent version i.e 12.04.…
I find that most of the time, when I plug in my Dell 19" monitor with an HDMI lead, unity can't decide on the configuration; it will switch between different resolutions, and setups every 2-30 setusecond until I either ctrl-alt-backspace or unity crashes so I have to hard boot. Alternatively all the windows decorations and unity get…
After upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04 I could log in to my X session (albeit with really low graphics). While trying to fix the graphics, I managed to break the X session.
Now, after typing my password in the unity-greeter, the items disappear and I can only see the desktop background and the pointer. This happens for every user. I…
Many times there is the need to load external resources into the program, may they be graphics, audio samples or text strings.
Is there a patten for handling the loading and the handling of such resources?
For example: should I have a class that loads all the data and then call it everytime I need the data? As in:

I have a i7 2600 processor, 8Gb DDR3 ram, nVidia GTX570, and Ubuntu takes 45-50 seconds to boot and 32-35 seconds to power off, while windows 7 boots in 20-25 seconds and shuts down in 10 seconds. Both OS with autologin enabled, and in dual boot.
Ubuntu is slow with preload too, and doesn't show any boot…
I am a company owner that has developed a cloud based app. My code writer has told me how good he is more than once, well, better stated, he did a good job telling me he was better than everyone else in my rather small community. In the last 18 months I have spent nearly 160,000.00 dollars trying to get…
I'm running Kubuntu 13.10, my computer's graphics card is Nvidia GT 520. I tried to fix that Plymouth's problem with proprietary graphics driver using an old script I found on the internet (it was coded for Natty, now that I think about it I shouldn't have done it). I ran that script and rebooted my…
I am starting out doing some low-level 3D programming in Linux. I have a lot of experience using the higher level graphics API OpenInventor. I know it is not strictly necessary to be aware of how all these things fit together but I'm just curious. I know OpenGL is just a standard for graphics…
I'm looking to get into 3d with OpenGL, using SDL to help with other stuff.
I found plenty of good tutorials (lazyfoo is a big one), but "Learning Modern 3d Graphics Programming" uses a newer version of openGL that I'm not able to run!
I opened up OpenGL extensions viewer, and I can only…
