Hi,

 

How do you configure SSH, as I can get someone who know linux better to login and instal the NVIDIA driver.

 

What ports should I forward on my router to allow connection?

 

I am willing to allow you (devries) to gain access to do this I you are willing.

 

I am going out now, need a break from this....

 

Kind Regards,

 

Andrew

http://www.openssh.com/manual.html for ssh (but installing an nvidia driver is a whole lot easier then installing ssh :)

 

/usr/src/linux-2.6.3-9mdk is not clean, please run 'make mrproper Ok this is the error message. Go to /usr/src/linux, log in as root and type make mrproper and try again. Or uninstall/install the kernel-source again.

 

Good luck.

 

<edit> didn't you install the amd64 version? Are you sure you have isnstalled the correct kernel-source? What's the name of the rpm?

hi again mate,

 

I ran command: uname -a and got the following: Linux Andrew 2.6.3-9mdk #1 Mon Apr 19 11:10:02 CEST 2004 x86_64 unknown unknown GNU/Linux

 

 

I don't have a clue on how to install/upgrade the kernel.

 

After running:

rpm -qa | grep -i kernel

 

Results:

kernel-2.6.3.9mdk-1-2mdk

kernel-source-2.6.3-16mdk

 

I am so lost :unsure:

 

I have just downloaded "kernel-2.6.3.16mdk-1-1mdk.amd64.rpm". but do not have a clue what to do with it (I am like a cow with a gun, :lol2: ).

 

Kind Regards,

 

Andrew

 

P.S. I have to keep setting up my NIC each time I boot into MDK. :thanks:

You've got the correct kernel-source installed. :D So with a little tweaking it should install without problems. I hope...............

 

Ok, try the make mrproper command in your /usr/src/linux

 

If that doesn't work try

 

./Nvidiaxxxxxxx (where x is the name of the driver) -K ( not k but K)

 

That should work, if not we'll have to learn the cow some new tricks

:woot_jump: :woot_jump:

 

edit: forgot something: your nic is that the onboard one? I think installing the nforce drivers will solve that.

Hi devries,

 

About the NIC, i have installed the NFORCS drivers and I have edited the /etc/modules.conf with "alias eth0 nvnet & options nvnet optimization=1

 

Still have to go to computer settings and select cable connection and manual install "nvnet" and auto all the rest of the questions and restart network and all works.

 

While I was waiting for your responce I managed to install the new kernel (2.3.6-16mdk) and reinstall the NIC drivers and still the same as above.

 

using the FAQ's on how to install the NVIDIA drivers, still get the same errors, but I am goin to try you way.

 

Back soon,

 

Andrew

Back,

 

You've got the correct kernel-source installed.  So with a little tweaking it should install without problems. I hope...............

If that doesn't work try

 

./Nvidiaxxxxxxx (where x is the name of the driver) -K ( not k but K)

 

O.K. I have followed your instructions and get the following error:

 

"ERROR: No NVIDIA driver is currently installed; the '--kernel-module-only' option can only be used to install the NVIDIA kernel module on top of an existing driver installation".

 

Time to be teached new tricks....MOOOOOOOOOO MOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Interesting problem this is :D

 

Another more option:

 

./Nvxxxxxxxx --extract-only, that will create a folder with the source code of the driver (sort off), cd to that directory, log in as root and type 'make install'

 

I'm sorry I have no clue what can be the cause of your problem right now. I googled a bit for more infrmation but there doesn't seem to be 'one' way to solve it. Just keep trying, maybe try an older version, with the different options and hope that one will work.

 

Good night. (2-0 :) )

Try with:

 

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run --add-this-kernel (If it's nvidia driver 6111)

 

a new file will appear called:

NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1custom.run (or something like that)

Hi,

 

devries; Will try that tonight when I get home from work.

 

Artificial Intelligence; Yes the driver is 6111, but I will try an older driver if "devries" sugestion does not work.

 

One small problem is when I go and update any of my packages., ECT all I ever get is error messages saying Corrupt sig files. Is this due to being a Beta?

 

Kind Regards,

 

Andrew

I read in other threads that people also have problem with driver 6111 and mandrake beta version. Perhaps you should go for the stable version of 10.

 

though you should reconsidering the suggestion I mentioned in my post earlier, it worked for me, perhaps it will work for you :)
