EDIT: was mumble mumble grumble grumble bitch whine (info on dual kern is in Tips and Triks - Basics) :woops: kristi [moved from Software by spinynorman]

Folks: rolf, steve, adam First, it's working fine. EDIT - delete a ton of grumbling kristi

Before I had my presently mixed system, I had a virgin 10.2b3 install, and a source from the cd3 of the 10.2b3, thus implying to me that since it had the same numbers and came from the same download, they were the same. I got the same old nvidia.ko missing message. Because a lot of folks suggested I use the mm source, I now have the mm source in /usr/src/linux. naturally it does not agree with what uname -r says since the system installed by the 10.2b3 CDs is 10.2b3 with a 2.6.10-3 source. Kristi

This does not fix my nvidia.ko missing problem. any ideas? tia Kristi

Right - My prob was that I had simply never viewed that thing as a button to be pressed Probably a good idea for me to press it anyway just to be sure. That oversight also affected/caused some of my earlier probs. Thanks for your patience! Kristi

yeppers, I screwed up and didn't recognize button 2 as a button Sorry :woops: Kristi

I am trying to play with 10.2b3 I go to http://www.mandrakeusers.org/easyurpmi/ I select cooker I select some stuff I select "STEP 3" It gives me which is all 10.1 official. I scroll back to the top of the page and I find that "COOKER" has been changed to "10.1 official" How the do I get cooker??? tia! Kristi (please - only someone who has actually done it answer)

Adam, thanks, could you flesh this out a tad, as on one attempt I did indeed use "cooker" to build my urpmi but with no joy. You have mentioned "multimedia" source - can you give me a name? tia! Gonna go try b3 again cause it feels so good when I stop! Kristi

I did make that mod in my last attempt. I noticed that is in a 64 bit area and has nothing to do with the fact the nvidia.ko is missing from 2.6.10-3,-4 kern source. Do a google on 2.6.10 kernsource and nvidia - lots of stuff - even nforce stuff. Apparently 2.6.11 rocks. Dunno Also could you please give me mandrakelinux/devel/cooker/cooker/media/contrib/ as a real url addy? tia Hope that helps. Kristi

EDIT - reading this on 14 Mar 05 - just ignore everything I said - I'm happily on 10.2rc1 quote]Not an uncommon occurrence with Mandrake Cooker repositories, which is basically what the 4th CD is. I wish I'd been aware of that before I popped my $66 for it but hey, live and learn!!! I'm going to just re-install 10.1 OI and leave it at that. I was beginning to get the feeling that they put it on the 4th CD cause they couldn't get it to work on the release... Enough of this garbage!!! 10.1 works just fine for my purposes. I just like to play with new stuff and that got me in trouble. Thanks much for your time and thoughts!!!!!!!!! Kristi

You're welcome! Kristi

fwiw, I have given up on 10.2b3 - 2.6.10-3, and I think -4 kernsource is missing nvidia.ko . Plus did some googling on 2.6.10 and found lots of sound and network probs re nvidia/nforce. They'll get it sometime!!!!!!! Kristi

Further flounderings: while I didn't go far enough the first time, it appears that while hdlist.cz is located at /mnt/cdrom/media/kde3.3/media_info it has told urpmi that everything is at /mnt/cdrom/kde3.3 which, of course, doesn't exist. unless of course I burn a new cd with the kde3.3 folder... In the meantime I have hosed my kmix! LOLOLOLOL Thanks for your time!!! Kristi

Mr T, resulted in which I don't think was what you had in mind. Steve, not sure if that was right. I forgot that I was still CD'ed to kde3.3 .Doing the rest gave me which I think was wrong. Would appreciate thoughts!!! Thanks!!!!!!! Kristi (on 10.1)

Hi and thanks for your reply. cd4 includes KDE3.3 stuff - urpmi doesn't show it. remembering that the window for urpmi still says 10.1,,, It doesn't chow me any KDE3.3 stuff - tons of 3.2 stuff. Kristi

Did a new 10.1 install - first 3 cds came from regular download. Offered $66 sacrifice to Mandrake Paris and bittorrent (bit trickle?) downloaded all 4 CD's, burned the 4th CD and used that. The install dutifully asked for all 4 CDs but installed KDE 3.2 How do I get it to install 3.3? (4th CD is indeed chock full of 3.3 stuff) tia! Kristi EDIT - sorry - posted to Hardware, pse move to software. Thanks

You could plug it in and then check HardDrake I think it is and it will give you those 2 numbers and then check that list - I saw 2 trust cams. Or you could do what I did and fork over 20$ and get a 5 star rated one on that list. Hope that helps. Kristi

""But first I will go try the one Steve pointed to..."" Nope - got the same missing file. I'm back on 10.1 I'm wondering if there's a way I can upgrade to KDE 3.3 The KDE site is not much help. I think I need to offer a sacrifice to the god of the 4th CD for 10.1 ......... Kristi

Yeah, if you installed 10.2b2 and then added only 10.1 sources to urpmi to update stuff, this could very well be your problem.You should be using 10.2 sources or Cooker. Unfortunately, I don't see the multimedia kernel on my favorite mirror, but look on yours. It should be 2.6.10-3 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nope, the only 2.6.10 I found was the kern source on CD3 of 10.2b3 (forget about b2 - that's gone.) I wonder what would happen if I installed 10.1, installed 2269 to that, and then "upgraded" to 10.2b3 ? Might be an interesting way to kill an hour! But first I will go try the one Steve pointed to... it feels so good when I stop! bak soon! Kristi

Thanks Adam - which one? I only see 2.6.7-1 as the latest. source? "Read Cooker list" (where do I find that? acrtually, the previous attempt at 10.2b2 I used cooker to get urpmi stuff,. This time I just used 10.1 . Maybe that's a prob in itself. Could very well be that I don't know enough to be playing around with this yet. THANKS. Kristi

<I was away for a bit> Only a little experience using camstream with my CS330 cam, (bad) and gqcam with my new Labtec Pro cam - seemed fine. I did at one build have gnomemeeting up and that seemed to work fine as well. <at the moment I'm playing with 10.2b3. let us know what your experiences are. Kristi

Nope, same error. Download isos, check sums and burn. Install 10.2b3 (I did not choose "upgrade") log into root and start kde install source for 2.6.10.3 (from CD3) run make prepare-all against the source. log out of kde sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run usual msg: no precompiled interface. usual msg: nothing on Nvidia site, will have to compile one. -does its thing- msg: unable to load the kernel module nvidia.ko kernel built using wrong kernel source files. msg: Installation failed /var/log/nvidia-installer.log : EDIT - (2 weeks later) removed a huge log here the simple answer was that my source did not match my /lib/modules release - I just couldn't see it back then. So I am wondering how you got it to work? or did you "upgrade" from 10.1 and leave the 10.1 /usr/src/ intact? tia!!! Kristi

fire up gqcam or camstream and see if either can find it. Hope that helps! Kristi

Oh really? Huh! When I put up b2, it bitched about not being able to find something .po, I think. But to heck with that, I'll grab the b3 isos and try again and if I have probs (or success) I'll post back here. Thanks! Kristi

EDIT a month later - I did not have the correct source for my system, so it gave me the message that nvidia.ko was missing What follows is a bunch of nice guys trying very hard to tell me that!!! :woops: I am hot to try MDK 10.2b3 . The only thing holding me back is installing the Nvidia driver. Do I have to wait for Nvidia to creat this interface, or is there something I can do? tia!!!!! Kristi
