Richard1098 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 I have Mdv 2007.1 power pack. I've downloaded the latest: dkms-nvidia and nvidia rpms from PLF. When I try to update them with rpm, I get the following: Error! Could not find module source directory. Directory: /usr/src/nvidia97xx-100.14.11-1plf2007.1 does not exist. Error! DKMS tree does not contain: nvidia97xx-100.14.11-1plf2007.1 Build cannot continue without the proper tree. Error!

AussieJohn Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) Did you do the download using Mandriva Control Centre. If you did not then it is most likely that a dependency is missing, so if you did do it this way then you are going about installing RPMs the wrong way. Cheers. John.

Greg2 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 You have too many different kernel source packages. How are you installing your rpms? As AussieJohn has noted, you should set up your system with easyurpmi, and use the package manager, or urpmi. Please read this post on software installation and easyurpmi: Software installation You should remove all the kernel source packages except the one (either stripped or complete) that matches your kernel. Then follow the instructions in that post to set up easyurpmi, then install the latest dkms-nvidia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 "You have too many different kernel source packages." No, he doesn't. He has: kernel-source-stripped-2.6.17.13mdv-1-1mdv2007.1 kernel-source-stripped-2.6.17.14mdv-1-1mdv2007.1 kernel-source-2.6.17.13mdv-1-1mdv2007.1 kernel-source-2.6.17.14mdv-1-1mdv2007.1 kernel-source-stripped-latest-2.6.17-14mdv those packages should all co-exist fine. There's no *point* in having both -source and -source-stripped - you may as well remove -source-stripped - but it should work okay. However, this is odd: [richard@localhost Desktop]$ rpm -qa | grep nvidia dkms-nvidia97xx-1.0-9755.1mdv2007.1 nvidia97xx-1.0-9755.1mdv2007.1 nvidia97xx-kernel-2.6.17-13mdv-9755-1mdk that shows no trace of the packages from PLF you claim you installed. Did you remove them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 (edited) Also, the nvidia driver revision is 2.6.17-13, while the running kernel is 2.6.17-14 One might get away with it and the nvidia module may load OK, but better install and run the 2.6.17-14 nvidia revision- or else get the driver directly from nvidia and run its installer after a "telinit 3" Edited October 1, 2007 by scarecrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
