Nvidia Linux Display Driver 346.72 released, available for Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pinguy OS, Elementary OS, Deepin, Peppermint, LXLE, Linux Lite, Debian, Robolinux, SparkyLinux, Fedora, CentOS, OpenSUSE, Mageia, OpenMandriva, Arch Linux, Manjaro, ROSA Desktop etc.

Nvidia Linux Display Driver 346.72 released, available for Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pinguy OS, Elementary OS, Deepin, Peppermint, LXLE, Linux Lite, Debian, Robolinux, SparkyLinux, Fedora, CentOS, OpenSUSE, Mageia, OpenMandriva, Arch Linux, Manjaro, ROSA Desktop etc.

Nvidia Linux Display Driver is a proprietary, yet freely distributed OpenGL video driver that aims to offer support for Nvidia graphics cards on any Linux kernel-based operating system. This version has been designed to be installed only computers supporting the 64-bit architecture. For 32-bit support, see this link. It is a native Linux driver that provides users with only a command-line installer, as well as a settings panel. It’s also the number one choice for gaming users.

What's new in Nvidia Linux Display Driver 64-bit 346.72:

• Fixed a bug causing loss of stereo synchronization in certain Quadro Sync framelock configurations.
• Fixed Pixel Buffer Object operations when row length is less than width. GL_[UN]PACK_ROW_LENGTH can be set to a value lower than the width of the operation being carried out. The OpenGL specification allows for this (the source or destination lines will be overlapping). Previously, our implementation of Pixel Buffer Objects did not support this case and would throw an error.
• Fixed a rare deadlock condition when running applications that use OpenGL in multiple threads on a Quadro GPU.

What Nvidia graphics cards are supported by this driver?

Officially, the Nvidia Linux Display Driver supports a wide range of Nvidia graphics cards, much more than the open source Nouveau driver supports. Most of the ION, ION LE, Quadro Plex, Quadro Sync, GRID, NVS, nForce Professional 3000, Quadro FX, Quadro Blade, as well as all the GeForce series are supported at this time.

How to Download and Install Nvidia Linux Display Driver 346.72

to install Nvidia Linux Display Driver 346.72 on Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pinguy OS, Elementary OS, Deepin, Peppermint, LXLE, Linux Lite, Debian, Robolinux, SparkyLinux, Fedora, CentOS, OpenSUSE, Mageia, OpenMandriva, Arch Linux, Manjaro, ROSA Desktop etc, open a new Terminal window and bash (get it?) in the following commands:

Download for Linux 32 bit :

$ wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/346.72/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-346.72.run

Download for Linux 64 bit :

$ wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/346.72/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.72.run

How do I install the Nvidia graphics driver?

In order to install the Nvidia Linux Display Driver on your Linux box, you will have to first download the binary package using the “Download” button above, save the run file on your Home directory, open a TTY and execute the “sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-xxx.xx.run” command (without quotes), as root (with sudo), where xxx.xx is the version number.

Keep in mind though, that you will have to install the Linux kernel header packages first! During the installation, you will be asked if you want to manually edit the X configuration file or let the installer do all the hard work. Alternatively, it is possible to automatically configure it by running the nvidia-xconfig command via a Linux terminal emulator after the installation.

Enjoy! I hope this article adding you more clarity.

How to Install, update or Upgrade KDE Plasma 5.2.2 on Arch Linux, Exherbo Linux, Fedora 20, 21, 22, Gentoo Linux, Kubuntu 14.04, 14.10, 15.05, openSUSE 13.1, 13.2, Slackware and ROSA :

Arch Linux
Plasma Next packages are available in the [extra] repository. To install it run:a

# pacman -Syu
# pacman -S plasma-meta

or

# pacman -Syu
# pacman -S plasma

Exherbo Linux
We currently provide Plasma 5 packages in the kde repository. They can easily be installed with the help of the plasma set:

# cave resolve plasma*

Fedora
We provide Plasma 5 packages for Fedora 20 and 21 in the dvratil/plasma-5 Copr repository. (Please note that these packages replace Plasma 4. The Plasma 4 and Plasma 5 workspaces cannot be installed in parallel from our RPMs.) The required KDE Frameworks 5 packages are available in the official Fedora repositories for Fedora 20 (in updates) and 21, and will be automatically installed as dependencies of the Plasma 5 packages. (Unlike the Plasma workspaces, the libraries, i.e. KDE Frameworks 5, kdelibs 4 and kdelibs 3, can be installed in parallel.)

Add the Plasma 5 Copr to Yum and install the plasma-5 meta-package, which will install all needed packages.

# wget http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/dvratil/plasma-5/repo/fedora-20/dvratil-plasma-5-fedora-20.repo
# yum install plasma5

On Fedora 21, replace fedora-20 with fedora-21.

If you use DNF, simply install dnf-plugins-core and run

dnf copr enable dvratil/plasma-5
dnf install plasma5

Plasma 5 will replace Plasma 4 as the system version of Plasma in Fedora 22. Until that happens, packages for Rawhide (i.e. what will become Fedora 22 and newer) are also available from the dvratil/plasma-5 Copr repository.

For all those who want to try out Plasma 5 without affecting their existing Plasma 4 installation, we also provide an x86_64 live image with Plasma 5 based on Fedora 20: http://pub.dvratil.cz/plasma/iso/5.1/.

How to Install FFmpeg 2.6 on Debian, Fedora, Linux Mint and Ubuntu Derivative System via PPA

FFmpeg 2.6 out now, you can install on Debian, Fedora, Linux Mint and Ubuntu Derivative System via PPA

FFmpeg is an open source utility that allows Linux, Windows and Mac OS X users to playback, convert, record and stream video and audio files. It is used in almost all Linux distributions. It is a command-line software that can encode, decode, demux, mux, transcode, stream, play and filter almost any media format available. FFmpeg uses libavcodec, the most advanced audio/video codec library for Linux and UNIX-like systems.

What's new in FFmpeg 2.6:

• The FFmpeg Project proudly presents FFmpeg 2.6 "Grothendieck", about 3 months after the release of FFmpeg 2.5. A lot of important work got in this time, so let's start talking about what we like to brag the most about: features.
• A lot of people will probably be happy to hear that we now have support for NVENC — the Nvidia Video Encoder interface for H.264 encoding — thanks to Timo Rothenpieler, with some little help from NVIDIA and Philip Langdale.
• People in the broadcasting industry might also be interested in the first steps of closed captions support with the introduction of a decoder by Anshul Maheswhwari. Regarding filters love, we improved and added many. We could talk about the 10-bit support in spp, but maybe it's more important to mention the addition of colorlevels (yet another color handling filter), tblend (allowing you to for example run a diff between successive frames of a video stream), or the dcshift audio filter.
• There are also two other important filters landing in libavfilter: palettegen and paletteuse. Both submitted by the Stupeflix company. These filters will be very useful in case you are looking for creating high quality GIFs, a format that still bravely fights annihilation in 2015.
• There are many other new features, but let's follow-up on one big cleanup achievement: the libmpcodecs (MPlayer filters) wrapper is finally dead. The last remaining filters (softpulldown/repeatfields, eq*, and various postprocessing filters) were ported by Arwa Arif (OPW student) and Paul B Mahol.
• Concerning API changes, there are not many things to mention. Though, the introduction of device inputs and outputs listing by Lukasz Marek is a notable addition (try ffmpeg -sources or ffmpeg -sinks for an example of the usage). As usual, see doc/APIchanges for more information.
• Now let's talk about optimizations. Ronald S. Bultje made the VP9 decoder usable on x86 32-bit systems and pre-ssse3 CPUs like Phenom (even dual core Athlons can play 1080p 30fps VP9 content now), so we now secretly hope for Google and Mozilla to use ffvp9 instead of libvpx. But VP9 is not the center of attention anymore, and HEVC/H.265 is also getting many improvements, which include C and x86 ASM optimizations, mainly from James Almer, Christophe Gisquet and Pierre-Edouard Lepere.
• Even though we had many x86 contributions, it is not the only architecture getting some love, with Seppo Tomperi adding ARM NEON optimizations to the HEVC stack, and James Cowgill adding MIPS64 assembly for all kind of audio processing code in libavcodec.
• And finally, Michael Niedermayer is still fixing many bugs, dealing with most of the boring work such as making releases, applying tons of contributors patches, and daily merging the changes from the Libav project.

Features at a glance

The software is comprised of a multimedia streaming server for live broadcasts, a simple media player based on the powerful SDL library, a simple multimedia stream analyzer, a library that contains functions for simplifying programming, and another library that includes muxers and demuxers for multimedia container formats. Additionally, it comes with support for input and output devices, media filters, a library for performing highly optimized image scaling and color space/pixel format conversion operations, and a library for performing highly optimized audio rematrixing, resampling and sample format conversions.

Nvidia Linux Display Driver 32-bit 346.47 is released, Install/update on Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse, Debian, RHEL, Slackware and Arch Linux

Nvidia Linux Display Driver 32-bit 346.47 is released, Install/update on Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Ubuntu 15.04 vivid Vervet, ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr (LTS), Fedora 21, Fedora 20, Fedora 19, Fedora 18, OpenSuse 13.2, openSUSE 13.1, openSUSE 12.3, Debian 8 "jessie" (upcoming), Debian 7 "wheezy", Debian 6 "squeeze", RHEL, Slackware, CentOS 6, CentOS 7 and Arch Linux
 
Nvidia Linux Display Driver is a proprietary OpenGL video driver that tries to bring support for the graphics cards produced by Nvidia on Linux-based operating systems. This version supports only the 32-bit architecture. For 64-bit support, see this link. Even if it provides a settings panel, the Nvidia Linux Display Driver is not an application. It is a hardware driver, which provides some instructions that tell an operating system how to use a piece of hardware.

What's new in Nvidia Linux Display Driver 32-bit 346.47:

Added support for the following GPUs:

• Quadro K620M
• Quadro K2200M
• GeForce GTX 965M
• Fixed a bug that could cause rendering corruption in GLX clients using PBOs and/or VBOs when using GLX indirect rendering.
• Fixed a bug that caused Xinerama layouts which included X screens with 'Option "UseDisplayDevice" "none"' to be represented incorrectly in the nvidia-settings control panel.
• Fixed a bug that could cause glXSwapBuffer() to block for longer than necessary in multi-threaded GLX applications using the GLX_NV_delay_before_swap extension.
• Fixed a bug that caused OpenGL applications using the NV_path_rendering extension to crash after a modeswitch event.
• Fixed a bug that caused DisplayPort audio to stop working after monitors are hotplugged.

Supports a wide range of Nvidia GPUs

In our tests, we’ve discovered that the Nvidia Linux Display Driver supports much more Nvidia graphics cards than the open source Nouveau driver. It plays well with most of the ION, ION LE, Quadro Plex, Quadro Sync, GRID, NVS, nForce Professional 3000, Quadro FX, Quadro Blade, as well as all the GeForce series.

All in all, if you have a PC or laptop equipped with an Nvidia GPU, and you have issues with the default Nouveau open source driver, you may want to install the Nvidia Linux Display Driver. It’s also the number one choice for gaming users.
