Thank you for reporting this.
Did you try:
> You may need to specify this library when calling nvidia-settings.
> Please run `./nvidia-settings --help` for usage information
As you are using nvidia-current, the nvidia-settings program appears in two places. Without nVidia myself, I cannot check it out; so please post the output of '$ ls -l <paths shown below>'
/usr/bin/nvidia-settings
/usr/lib64/nvidia-current/bin/nvidia-settings
to see whether it is the same program linked from one name to another.
---
Just for the record, at least for Mageia 7 x11-driver-video-nvidia-current, it seems that in:
/usr/lib64/nvidia-current/
the following libraries are provided:
libnvidia-gtk2.so.430.26
libnvidia-gtk2.so.430.40
libnvidia-gtk2.so.430.50
libnvidia-gtk2.so.430.64
and
libnvidia-gtk3.so.430.26
libnvidia-gtk3.so.430.40
libnvidia-gtk3.so.430.50
libnvidia-gtk3.so.430.64
which covers all cases, including those in your error messages.CC:

(none) Aurelien, Thanks for your answer. I run Mageia 7.1 and I got all nvidia.settings stuff installed in my computer with the Nvidia driver. Do I have better to wait for Mageia 8 upgrade ? Michel See Bug 27317, which has similar symptoms; especially comments 13/15/16/19. EITHER It looks worth trying, as root (if it does not exist): - create the file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/nvidia-current.conf - with the contents: /usr/lib64/nvidia-current for example # echo "/usr/lib64/nvidia-current" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/nvidia-current.conf - then # ldconfig OR check that /usr/lib64/nvidia-current/dependentlibs.list contains for Michel (from comments 0 & 2) libnvidia-gtk2.so.430.64* libnvidia-gtk3.so.430.64* for Jose (from c0) libnvidia-gtk3.so.390.138 libnvidia-gtk2.so.390.138 Jose is already CC'd for his duplicate bug (above). CC'ing Dave Hodgins to look at this and verify what I have written. Status:
UNCONFIRMED =>
NEW OK, we progress a bit .. : when I add "nvidiacurrent.conf" file, the original error messages are not displayed anymore but they are replaced by :
ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded
ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system
.. but it's not really an error anymore and I'm afraid we cannot go further ! I simply *cannot* use the original Nvidia driver for my graphic driver ! It *never* worked without I got a "fatal error" ("testing" button in the MCC display server configuration box) and I must use the generic driver provided by Mageia. So I guess now that I cannot even imagine to tune my graphic adapter beyond its by default parametrization ..
Hum. I think we haven't asked you what kind of NVIDIA graphic card you have. So, please tell me what model is? Can you provide /var/log/Xorg.0.log here ? Can you tell if this system was upgraded from an earlier version of Mageia ? I will test a NVIDIA system with M7 today. CC:

Hi Aurelien, Please find attached the log you requested. My graphic adapter is an already old Nvidia Geforce GT730, delivered by DELL in their desktop computers five or six years ago .. My system was upgraded from Mageia 5 but I don't remember exactly which flavor .. Geforce GT 730 => dkms-nvidia-current-430.64-11.mga7.nonfree.x86_64.rpm which is latest supported nonfree driver for this video card.

Boot from latest Kernel you have which must be Kernel 5.7.19. Please try to reuse nvidia nonfree graphic driver from drakX11 in MCC. 2) Xorg.0.log shows also that you use "nouveau" which is opensource driver. This is normal that nvidia-settings cannot be launched.

Hi Aurelien, Thanks a lot for your reactivity. I did correct the kernel version (which was not automatically updated on that system) and I removed the "vga" option in the grub line, according your recommendation. I had already the correct Nvidia driver version installed. But i receive still the same error message in MCC : (translated from French) "A fatal error has occured : (EE) Fatal server error: Try to change some parameters" OK buddy, which ones ? :-) (In reply to Michel AUTEM from comment #15) > (In reply to Aurelien Oudelet from comment #14) > > Geforce GT 730 => dkms-nvidia-current-430.64-11.mga7.nonfree.x86_64.rpm > > > > which is latest supported nonfree driver for this video card. > > Also, I see in your Xorg.0.log that : > > > > 1) Kernel is 5.4.17-desktop-1.mga7 #1 SMP Sat Feb 1 21:57:04 UTC 2020 x86_64 > > > > Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.4.17-desktop-1.mga7 > > root=UUID=45a890fc-be3c-4963-b3ea-1b8177988247 ro splash quiet noiswmd > > resume=UUID=4d54e10d-e01b-49cb-afd2-c35ddef1e5cd audit=0 vga=791 > > > > Please edit as root /etc/default/grub and remove "vga=791" > > Run update-grub as root. > > > > Boot from latest Kernel you have which must be Kernel 5.7.19. > > Please try to reuse nvidia nonfree graphic driver from drakX11 in MCC. > > > > 2) Xorg.0.log shows also that you use "nouveau" which is opensource driver. > > This is normal that nvidia-settings cannot be launched. > > Hi Aurelien, > Thanks a lot for your reactivity. > I did correct the kernel version (which was not automatically updated on > that system) and I removed the "vga" option in the grub line, according your > recommendation. > I had already the correct Nvidia driver version installed. > But i receive still the same error message in MCC : > (translated from French) > "A fatal error has occured : > (EE) > Fatal server error: > > Try to change some parameters" > > OK buddy, which ones ? :-) PS. I use "nouveau" only because I cannot run the original Nvidia driver and yes, that explains why I cannot launch nvidia-settings ..

(none) Hi, I just reinstalled this computer with Cauldron (V8 beta2)today and everything is back to nominal ! : the Nvidia proprietary driver is loaded as expected (I could *NEVER* succeeded to do it with Mageia 7.1, even by reinstalling the system) and Nvidia utilitaries work like a charm, mainly nvidia-settings. For Me you may close this ticket. Thanks, Mia. Thanks you for the information. So closing this. Really. Resolution:
(none) =>
FIXED |
Description of problem: I cannot launch the nvidia-settings utility, which is very important to control my video-card parameters. I consider it as a major bug regarding performances (lag ..) problems I get running graphical applications in Mageia, in comparaison with the same programs in MS/Windows environment, and that I cannot try to improve. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nvidia-settings comes with the nvidia driver package and I don't know if it has a specific version (different from the package version). Package version : V430-864 - 8.mga7.nonfree How reproducible: Every time I try to launch nvidia-settings. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to /usr/lib64/nvidia-current directory, where everything is installed 2. Go to /bin sub-directory 3. Launch ./nvidia-settings You get then the error messages : ERROR: libnvidia-gtk3.so.430.64: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory libnvidia-gtk3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory libnvidia-gtk2.so.430.64: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory libnvidia-gtk2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ERROR: A problem occured when loading the GUI library. Please check your installation and library path. You may need to specify this library when calling nvidia-settings. Please run `./nvidia-settings --help` for usage information. These files (libnvidia-gtk*) seem to be correctly installed in the installation directory. Using root logid or completing the PATH variable gives no result.
