I'm having some problems with my graphics cards driver and I hoped you guys could help me out. I mispurposeadly changed the x.org's driver to a propietary one and ended with my computer falling apart with the login loop problem, typical of Thrusty Thar. However, I managed via console to purge the fglrx driver using sudo apt-get purge and managed to access the desktop graphically. After that none of the usb ports or sd slot worked, nor did the graphics card, only the ethernet port, so I upgraded Ubuntu Thrusty Thar to Utopical Unicornwith the hope it would fix the driver's problem. It didn't. Can you help me find a solution to my problem?
In the worst case scenario, you can reinstall Ubuntu. This should fix your issue.
Alternatively, you can upgrade to the latest Ubuntu 16.04 LTS version and that should have some bug fixes that solve your problem.
I recommend using the open source driver that is already installed and in use when you first install Ubuntu. Only change the open source driver to a proprietary one if there are graphical glitches or other problems with your graphics. I have never had problems with the open source graphics drivers.
Finally, make sure that you install all the available software updates since they may fix some issues too.

I am trying to install the CUDA toolkit in order to be able to use Thundersvm in my personal computer.
However I keep getting the following message in the GUI installer:
"You already have a newer version of the NVIDIA Frameview SDK installed"
I read in the CUDA forums that this most probably results from having installed Geforce Experience (which I have installed). So I tried removing it from the Programs and Features windows panel. However I still got the error, so my guess is that the "Nvidia Corporation" folder was not removed.
In the same question, they also suggested performing a custom install. However I could not find any information on how to do a custom install of the CUDA toolkit. I would really appreciate if someone could explain how to do this custom install or safely remove the previous drivers. I thought of using DDU but I read that sometimes it may actually lead to trouble.
I had the same problem while I was trying to get TensorFlow to use my NVIDIA GTX1070 GPU for calculations. Here's what allowed me to perform the CUDA Toolkit installation on my Windows 10 machine.
As the error message in the installer says - you already have a newer Frameview SDK installed. It was the case for me.
Go to Settings/Uninstall or modify programs.
Remove the NVIDIA Frameview program. It should be there with GeForce Experience, PhysX, etc.
Uninstalling only this NVIDIA program didn't cause any driver problems for my machine and I was able to progress through the CUDA Toolkit installation.
I just met the same problem and fixed it now.
This problem occurred because you chose the default installation configuration, which might contain many installed parts. In my situation, I have installed NVIDIA Nsight Compute, which is the culprit during the first few installs.
Unchecking the redundant parts should be helpful.
I ran into an error after installing VMware Fusion on my mac, that it couldn't find /dev/vmmon. After some digging, I've learned that there are only so many available character devices, and that other software I have has consumed them.
Since I actively use Viscosity and Virtualbox (for the time being), the only other one that I could find I had was Intel HAXM driver.
Instructions online suggest to run a script to uninstall it, however that script did not exist on my laptop.
I unloaded the driver with the command:
sudo kextunload -b com.intel.kext.intelhaxm
I wanted to determine if there is anything else I need to do, will this driver attempt to reload during boot?
Thanks!
The Intel HAXM docs show that as of 2018, there is an uninstall script:
sudo /Library/Extensions/intelhaxm.kext/Contents/Resources/uninstall.sh
I had the same issue, Tim Potter's solution fixed my issue ,
sudo kextunload -b com.intel.kext.intelhaxm
Thanks
Cannot find /dev/vmmon (VMware Fusion 8.5.1 on macOS 10.12.1)
I had the same problem.
After a lot of trial and error, and helpful support from VMware I got it to work by
Create another user on the mac
log in as that new user
start fusion
create a new virtual machine (custom, windows7, no actual OS installation)
If machine starts, then vmmon is restored correctly
switch back to your normal user, start fusion and your existing vm
I have not investigated WHY this works, and VMware-support couldn´t tell me either. For now - I do not care. It works, and I can run my vms again.
Host machine was ported from 11.10 to 12.04 LTS (Xubuntu)
Virtualbox image is win7 x64
With upgrade /dev/vboxdrv was missing, so within synaptics I reinstalled:
virtualbox (4.1.12dsfg-2 not OSE)
virtualbox-qt 4.1.12dsfg
virtualbox-dkms 4.1.12dsfg
Then it works again but my windows is badly crashed. Once started and desktop icons pops out it's really slow and crash (network icon is also blocked)
I reinstalled guest additions, but does not make any difference.
Nothing is serious because I still have available snapshots.
I'm asking for advices, like for example how do I clean reinstall (clear parameters) vbox ?
Is there any workaround, or do I need to wait fresh 12.04LTS updates to fix this pbm by magic ?
I can confirm this bug on two of my Ubuntu 12.04 machines (i7 Desktop, Samsung Dual Core Laptop):
All my Windows (Win7, WinServer2003,WinServer 2008) 64bit guest machines which were working under Ubuntu 11.10 behave the same way after upgrading / reinstalling to Ubuntu Precise:
During guest bootup or shortly after bootup (sometimes I can even access the guest's desktop for a moment) the complete system host + guest freezes completly.
The Vbox.log doesnt contain any hint. Even a fresh install of Ubuntu Precise has the same error (with the same guest machines).
I have not found any combination of guest settings which prevents this freeze yet. Even using the OSE edition of Virtualbox 4.1.12-UbuntuR7724S has the same error.
The probably-related VirtualBox bug ticket says it is fixed in VirtualBox source, and also details a workaround via grub.
The Debian bug is here.
Hopefully the patch will be applied to Ubuntu-12.04 .
(This answer is also at: https://askubuntu.com/questions/130726/win-7-virtual-box-vm-fails-to-start-after-upgrade-to-12-04 )
I can't be sure that I was having the same problem, but I also just upgraded from ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 and attempting to boot my virtual machine (xp 32bit) would cause the host to freeze.
The fix was to do the following:
Enable absolute pointing device (almost certainly wasnt this that fixed it but hey ho!)
Enable VT-x/AMD-V acceleration and nested paging (found under settings->System->Acceleration)
Disable video acceleration (again dont think it was this but I don't fancy fiddling now it works)
Hope this works for you too.
I've faced a problem getting my libusb-w32 based program to detect devices.
The program has to detect digital cameras, and I need to automatically install driver filter for any new camera to be detected without any manual work.
I've used install-filter i --class={6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F} , i. e. installing filter for MTP devices, and it seemed to work. But today I tried it on a clean machine and found out it actually only seemed that way. Tried install-filter with different parameters - no luck.
The only way I was able to detect devices at all was to use the inf-wizard.exe. It installed the driver, enabling my program to detect devices, but also disrupting the original Windows functionality for digital cameras. Then, I've uninstalled the libusb driver, installed the original windows driver back, executed install-filter i --class={6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F} - and the program is still able to detect devices.
The question is: how to automate the process so that any new camera is detected without any work required from a user?
Update:
I'll shorten the question. It seems that when I install a driver with inf-wizard.exe, it does something besides installing the driver itself. I need to know what, exactly.
Thanks in advance.

I've been experiencing a problem with Virtualbox on my Fedora 13.
When I try to setup virtual machine instance with Windows it just hangs the system with no reaction on keyboard commands with no respond to anything except physical halting. Please help what might be the problem?
Sultan
which version of the virtualbox are you using, is the latest. Also you could try to re-install the software it may help you. One thing that usually helps is to delete the disk image file that you create for the image or use a different iso file to install your windows iamge.
Try one of those solutions, can't say what is the specific problem with your description
