With 12.10 the kernel headers are missing so the standard install does not work from Ubuntu.
Video drivers for ubuntu 12.10 driver#
But have not installed a driver from nVidia for years and that was such a bad experience that I will not again. With 12.10, I did have issues installing the nVidia driver. With IDEs such as Eclipse and those that come with Smalltalk.
What are some good choices of graphics card to get. I tried to do this but I found the installation process to beĮspecially complex and I prefer (read must because I got lost) to go a simpler route.ġ) Does the Ubuntu driver for this card really not work for Ubuntu 12.10?Ģ) Is the fix really as complex as indicated in the nvidia driver installation instructions?ģ) Assuming I am right to abandon ship and get another graphics card, Searching the Internet I read that the ubuntu (12.04 I believe) driversįor this card don't work and that I need to install the linux drivers from I bought and installed it on my three year old computer (AMD Athlon II X2 245 processor) running Ubuntu 12.10 (32 bit).īut only one monitor is recognized (the one plugged directly into the graphics card). The sales clerk recommended the nvidia GEFORCE GT 610 graphics card which
Thanks to the forums and to the fellow users and some Parallels engineers who certainly know a lot, and whose comments and threads have indirectly helped me avoid unwittingly destroy my perfectly-working Ubuntu distro.I recently bought a dual head graphics card so I could run two terminals. Also, it seemed to me that the OSX Mountain Lion graphics driver is probably the only driver interacting directly with the GPU, and the Ubuntu driver may only have a virtual and indirect connection through the Mountain Lion driver, but perhaps that is not correct or is irrelevant.ĭocumented Parallels 8 support for Ubuntu is pretty thin, and seems non-existent when discussing virtualized graphics card drivers within Ubuntu, but perhaps I overlooked it so would be happy to read up on it if available. The few people who've tried it and then wrote how they did it (which includes blacklisting some drivers, and removing others) have broken their installs. I read enough to learn that upgrading hardware drivers for Ubuntu as guest on Mountain Lion it is not easy - or at least not identical - to updating graphics drivers on a dedicated install of Ubuntu. Although OpenGL support appears to be years old, in fairness to Parallels, they don't focus on Linux guest OS, and they can't know what machine the Ubuntu installs will go on, so I can see why a widely functional "lowest common denominator" GPU driver might be used for virtualization.
I mention this because I read a user's comment on stack-exchange that they thought Parallels 8 was entirely unable to virtualize GPU acceleration. Also, in case the topic of GPU acceleration on guest Linux OS is interesting to other OpenGL fans, I can verify there is some ancient (five or six years old, it seems) OpenGL functionality in Ubuntu even as a guest OS. Here's what I've tried: I have Ubuntu 12.04 working fine as guest OS (alongside Windows 8) on a Mountain Lion iMac with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX.

Does anyone know how to get OpenGL 4.x working on the Ubuntu 12.04 that ships with Parallels 8?
