I have installed this but when I try to play any game it says "Failed to initialize video backend!" it works on my Windows account but my other programs are taking up to much of my CPU and I want to run it on Ubuntu can you guys help me

@TheBrandonWeidner That means you don't have the driver for your video card installed. What type of card do you have?

use this command to find out

lspci | grep VGA

if you have ATI or Nvidia card check for additional drivers under Applications>>>System>>>Additi­onal drivers

Then install the recommended drivers

@holmcross4130 And I have the latest NVITIA accelerated graphics driver

[holmcross4130]

@TheBrandonWeidner When you open dolphin click on the graphics tab. Where it says "backend" make sure you are using Opengl. Another thing make sure you have the nvidia-toolkit package installed. Let me know your progress.

@holmcross4130 Afraid it still won't work :(

[holmcross4130]

@TheBrandonWeidner For some reason or another you dont have 3D acceleration. install the mesa-utils package. Then type in the command below.

glxgears

If you see the gears in the terninal turning then you have 3D acceleration but if not the driver you are using did not install the correctly. You may want to go to the NVidia website, download and install the drivers. Hope that helps
