NVidia on Mandrake 10.1

August 23, 2005

Hello everyone! I'm a Linux newbie... I try installing nvidia software and this was i got........

[angelo@localhost angelo]$ uname -r

2.6.8.1-12mdk

[angelo@localhost angelo]$

[root@localhost NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7676-pkg1]# make install

cd usr/src/nv; make install

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/angelo/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7676-pkg1/usr/src/nv'

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 equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the

kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify

their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or

the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

*** Unable to determine the target kernel version. ***

make[1]: *** [select_makefile] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/angelo/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7676-pkg1/usr/src/nv'

make: *** [kernel_module_install] Error 2

[root@localhost NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7676-pkg1]#

Please help me where i can find upgrade kernel source rpm that will work on this Nvidia installer, and also the proper way of upgrading kerner.

Install the kernel-source (make sure it matches the uname -r). Mandriva uses urpmi to install sotware so do: urpmi kernel-source

Ok I have a similoar proble except that when I try to install it it says:

-> 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

-> 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.

because the kernel module was built using the wrong kernel source files.

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.

I kind of got stuck in installing.

Yes I used urpmi kernel-source

@ ovidiu: Can you mention your actual nvidia card and the nvidia stock installer version?

Some older models aren't supported by the latest nvidia driver revisions anymore- you either have to use an older nvidia installer, or an unofficial installer which works with old nvidia hardware.

:oops: my bad. :cheesy:

It's a Leadtek FX5200 (WinFast A340 TD) and the driver version witch I am trying to install is

NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7676-pkg1.run

I am still trying to install on a 10.1 .

It's complaining that the kernel source doesn't match the kernel you are running. To check this post the output of:

$ uname -a

and:

$ rpm -qa | grep kernel-source

rpm -qa | grep kernel-source

kernel-source 2.4.27-0. pre2.1mdk

I need to have the same source as the one installed no ?

Why am I having the 2.6 kernel and the 2.4 kernel source ? is that right ?

:mdk:

scarecrow · September 1, 2005

urpme kernel-source

Then find and install ( using MCC ) kernel-source 2.6.8.1* from Mandrake's "main" repository.

:thanks:

Every thing went smooth I continued the HW-01 and no problem.

13729 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2745.800 FPS

But one last question for this topic.

When i boot into Linux the normal way and go to init 3 the whole text is corrupt but when i got to linux nonfb everything is ok.

Why?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I really wish I knew, as I also have an FX5200 and facing the same problem, exactly- although I tried every possible framebuffer mode on more than 15 different distros...

My solution was the same as yours- I don't use framebuffer at all, the text may be somewhat large, but usable.
