Jas Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 edited my X config file, went to init 3, went as su, did sh nvidia.....blah..blah... and got: Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface -> License accepted. -> 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) -> 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. ERROR: Unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running kernel. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' rpm installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' commandline 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. I remember i got like the exact same thing when i was running 10.1 Community like 6 months ago or something, and now the exact same thing, what do i do [moved from Software by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyslexic Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Looks like you didn't install the kernel-source package. You can do that from urpmi/RPMdrake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyslexic Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Looks like you have the wrong kernel-source package. Mandrake comes with a few different kernels, and a source package for each of them. If you're using the default Mandrake kernel, you need the kernel-source-2.6 package. Just make sure you don't have the multimedia kernel source, the stripped source, or the 2.4 kernel source installed. You can use urpmi -y kernel-source to see the available choices, or use the RPMdrake GUI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas Posted January 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 (edited) aha! ^_^ got that installed, now i read to test the 3-D acceleration, you type "glxgears" into konsole, it was working before, but now i get the error: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual thanks for all of your help :) :D edit: i just tried this o_O whats wrong? is it in my X config file? [jas@localhost jas]$ glxinfo | grep direct Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

kungfooya Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Since your problem has been solved, I thought i could ask this here. Does anyone know when the next linux drivers will be released from nvidia? jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
