fresh install of FC4 [solved]


Recommended Posts

Error: Missing Dependency: nvidia-glx = 0:1.0.7174 is needed by package kernel-module-nvidia-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4

 

The install of FC4 went A-OK. I deleted the stock yum.conf, and used wget to replace it with the recommended yum.conf at fedorafaq.org. Proceded to yum install all the missing "fun" stuff such as flash support, mp3 support, grip, etc etc. Everything went fine. Now on to fixing my screen res - it won't let me go higher than 800x600, but I have a 19" LCD so I need 1024x768. So I tried a yum install nvidia-glx kernel-module-nvidia-$(uname -r) but it gives me the error shown above. Do I have to install a kernel module or something?

Thanks in advance

 

PS: I could do it the old way by downloading the driver and then installing it, but I'd like to know about the yum prob..

Try just doing the kernel module, it should pull in the nvidia-glx by itself.

 

yum install kernel-module-nvidia-$(uname -r)

 

Before you do that though, you are using the stock kernel and you should run an update first, reboot to the new kernel then do the kernel-module-nvidia

 

yum -y update

thanks, that worked great.  Now tuxracer works like its supposed to. 

Found out its now called PPRacer, and doesn't come with FC4 anymore, you have to get it yourself.

 

 

It's in extras ;)

 

Need to check out the things yum can do or install yumex and use it :)

# yum list ppracer
