the Enterprise kernel is for 1 or more GB ram. NVIDIA is kernel specific. Meaning if your upgrade your kernel or boot to one diff than the one nvidia was install with (uname -r) you have to uninstall and reinstall nvidia if you want nvidia. That's rt, wanna go back to and old kernel because of probs? Gotta uninstall and reinstall nvidia. Pain huh? BUT, you can always edit /etc/X11/XF86Config and comment out

#Load "glx"

and change

Driver "nvidia"

to

Driver "nv"

 

 

Where did ya get your java? tar? rpm?

 

rpm pkgs look fine.

From where ever it sent me when it told me I needed it. It had the linux version...I chose that and nix!

 

I do have a GB of 2700 DDR. Perhaps after all this is said and done, you can help me remove and install the NVIDIA drivers again. :lol2:

 

In truth, I'd like to install a bleeding edge kernel in the near future just so "I" ( :screwy: ) can have yet another problem in my life to be resolved! :cheeky:

to install java

nvidia driver

 

to uninstall the nvidia driver be in init 3 (X not running) and

cd /path/to/NVIDIA-blabla

sh NVIDIA-blablabla --uninstall

 

did you say mozilla? Go Help>About Plugins. Does java show up? Did you install the rpm as root

rpm -ivh j2re<version>

?

BINGO!!! I see the problem already. I didn't delete the symlinks!!! :oops:

 

Then again...this is what I just got when running the commands:

 

cd /usr/bin

[root@localhost bin]# rm java javac jar

rm: cannot lstat `java': No such file or directory

rm: cannot lstat `javac': No such file or directory

rm: cannot lstat `jar': No such file or directory

[root@localhost bin]#

Weird that some people have problems using the java RPM on our d-load site.

I have used it three times (old version and new) on beta's and the 9.2 final. Never had a problem. Just click and it does everything. No need to add symlinks or anything.

Guess its just one of those mysteries.........

Perhaps it is a matter of where you obtained your version. I, for one, picked mine up from a Linux magazine. It was a dvd with three or four cd's worth on it. Perhaps I shall have more luck with Suse 9 Pro when I pick up a copy for X-mas. So far I like Linux. I just think they need to simplify the updating/new program installation/un-install functions before the majority will give it a serious look over M$. It is not like I am a complete ignoramous :cheeky: ....I'm fairly good about following instructions. I just hope that my problems I'm having will serve me well in the future by the extra bit of knowledge I'm forced to digest. At the moment though...I seriously identify with this character.....----> :wall:
