[Bug 1313274] Re: After upgrading to 14.04, nvidia-settings crashes with "BadValue" X Window System error

 

Trying to upgrade gives some dependency problems:

michael@quad:~/download$ sudo aptitude install nvidia-331
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  bbswitch-dkms{a} libcuda1-331{a} nvidia-331{b} nvidia-libopencl1-331{ab} nvidia-opencl-icd-331{a} nvidia-prime{a}
0 packages upgraded, 6 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 36,1 MB of archives. After unpacking 158 MB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ocl-icd-libopencl1 : Conflicts: libopencl1 which is a virtual package.
 nvidia-libopencl1-331 : Conflicts: libopencl1 which is a virtual package.
 nvidia-304-updates : Conflicts: xorg-driver-binary which is a virtual package.
 nvidia-331 : Conflicts: xorg-driver-binary which is a virtual package.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Remove the following packages:
1)     nvidia-304-updates
2)     nvidia-current-updates

     Keep the following packages at their current version:
3)     nvidia-libopencl1-331 [Not Installed]

     Leave the following dependencies unresolved:
4)     nvidia-331 recommends nvidia-libopencl1-331


Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] 

My question: Is it a good idea to leave that dependency unresolved?

Title:
  After upgrading to 14.04, nvidia-settings crashes with "BadValue" X
  Window System error

Status in “nvidia-settings” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After upgrading to 14.04 the screen resolution is not as I want and
  changing with nvidia-settings is not possible, because the program
  crashes when applying new settings.

  michael@quad:~$ nvidia-settings

  ERROR: Error querying target relations

  The program 'nvidia-settings' received an X Window System error.
  This probably reflects a bug in the program.
  The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
    (Details: serial 738 error_code 2 request_code 158 minor_code 25)
    (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
     that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
     To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
     option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
     backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
  michael@quad:~$ 

  The crash occurs when using the "Apply" button.
