YaAqoB Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Hi all. My NVIDIA drivers for some reason have stopped working and I have had to go back to the standard drivers. When ever I try to reinstall the drivers I get the following error. nvidia-installer log file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' creation time: Thu Jan 13 21:48:08 2005 option status: license pre-accepted : false update : false force update : false expert : false uninstall : false driver info : false no precompiled interface: false no ncurses color : false query latest driver ver : false OpenGL header files : false no questions : false silent : false no backup : false kernel module only : false sanity : false add this kernel : false no runlevel check : false no network : false no ABI note : false no RPMs : false force tls : (not specified) force compat32 tls : (not specified) X install prefix : /usr/X11R6 OpenGL install prefix : /usr compat32 install prefix : (not specified) installer install prefix: /usr utility install prefix : /usr kernel name : (not specified) kernel include path : (not specified) kernel source path : (not specified) kernel output path : (not specified) kernel install path : (not specified) proc mount point : /proc ui : (not specified) tmpdir : /root/tmp ftp mirror : ftp://download.nvidia.com RPM file list : (not specified) Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface -> License accepted. -> There appears to already be a driver installed on your system (version: 1.0- 6629). As part of installing this driver (version: 1.0-6629), the existing driver will be uninstalled. Are you sure you want to continue? ('no' will a bort installation) (Answer: Yes) -> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you li ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel f rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: Yes) ERROR: Unable to connect to download.nvidia.com (temporary DNS error (try again later)) -> No matching precompiled kernel interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp site; this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for your kernel. -> Kernel source path: '/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12mdk/source' -> Performing CC test with CC="cc". ERROR: If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure you either have configured kernel sources matching your kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed on your system. If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel installed on your system. If you specified a separate output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with the appropriate nvidia-installer command line option. ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com. Does anyone have any ideas????

devries Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Uninstall the driver and try again (in a terminal, as root, type: nvidia-installer --uninstall) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaAqoB Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Thanks for your help. I did as you told and removed the drivers without any faults or errors. Only prob is that I still get the same error when trying to reinstall them again. Any more clues, or any other logs you need to see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
