#241851 — Graphic rendering problem

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi all,

I have a problem with the opening of Scribus, it is not specific towards
Scribus since I also have problems using other graphic viewers such as
Gaussian view.

Something related to my graphic rendering but I don't know how to check,

It would be great to get your advice about which files to look up for
errors or mistakes.

Thanks very much for your help, lina

 										 	Which Debian? (inxi -S)
Which DE or WM? (inxi -Sa or -Sxx)
What graphics hardware? (inxi -Ga or -Gxx)

sudo echo B_ALLOW_UPDATE=true >> /etc/inxi.conf	# allow to upgrade to a recent,
less broken inxi version than whatever antique version your Debian provides
inxi -U	# update inxi
inxi -GSayz	# get all the info to post here nicely formatted

Start by looking at your Xorg.0.log, found either in /var/log/ or in
~/.local/share/xorg/. ~/.xsession-errors might have clues, as might the journal
(man journalctl)

# lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208B [GeForce GT
730] (rev a1)

I don't know which package I should install to match this graphic card.

Thanks, lina

You probably use at this moment the free nouveau driver, which
unfortunately does not support nVidia cards very well in most cases
(inferior acceleration, no power management, lacking features...)

This card should be well supported by the proprietary, binary-only
driver from nVidia, which is available for easy installation in the
Debian non-free package "nvidia-driver". You might have to enable the
"non-free" section in your sources.list first.

Please elaborate on that. What is the problem?

Christian

One problem showed "Please update the DirectX/OpenGL drivers of your
computer graphics card".

I have removed the nouveau driver.

What you might need (or desire) to do is uninstall a package
(xserver-xorg-video-nouveau). Most likely, all FOSS drivers applicable to that GPU
were installed by default. Without (previously requested) information, we can only
speculate. Please post URL resulting from:

	cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit

if /var/log/Xorg.0.log exists, and if not, but ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log
does, then:

	cat ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit

For some background, see this primer:

https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/541438-AMD-Intel-amp-NVidia-X-graphics-driver-primer

It explains nouveau has multiple driver meanings, and what your FOSS driver
options are.

That sudo command with a redirection won't work.  See
<https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls#pf53> for workarounds.
