And now the rot hits 2009 [solved]

Yes, it is most definitely worth fixing, even if it seems you are the only one experiencing problems. Because chances are in the future, someone else might come across the problem. I've logged bugs for problems that I've had that I didn't see open bugs for. Because, if someone already had come across it, they too would have opened it to get it fixed.

 

It's not a case of waiting to see if someone else has the problem before opening up the bug. What I found with mine is that then a few people posted on my bug saying that they too also had the same problem! Obviously, they searched to see if a bug with that problem was open, and came across mine. And then added their comments rather than open up a duplicate bug.

I don't think that is it David, but I can't honestly be sure. Firstly the guy in the post seems to have put something to do with Nvidia into skip.list. Both my skip.list files are empty. Secondly he seems to run a test install every time, I have never done that, I just jump in! Thirdly in his test install he seems to have got some error messages - I didn't (but then neither did he when he installed it for real).

 

Part of the problem is that I don't really understand the function of the multitude of modules relating to nvidia, and dkms that Mandriva seems to carry - there seem to be so many, and being a simple soul, installing the driver for myself is a damn sight easier than trying to work out what is going wrong with the automatic method :unsure:

 

It's a she ;) and it's definitively not the same bug, in fact the bug reported in that thread isn't even a bug, the built bots just need time to build a non-essential package.

 

But I already said here, go to IRC and speak with Anssi

OK guys I have a chance to experiment with this problem with your help if you wish. Cooker is offering me a kernel upgrade today(kernel desktop 2.6.29.1-3) so I can use this to get some detailed output that might help me phrase a bug report.

 

Furthermore I now see that someone with the exact same laptop as myself has just reported a similar problem so that motivates me to do something as well.

 

As I said earlier in the thread, I removed the dkms modules before because I got fed up with waiting for them to install only to have the whole thing fail anyway.So prior to doing anything I have reinstalled dkms-nvidia-current which pulled in as dependencies nvidia-current-doc and x11-driver-nvidia-current (all for the 180.44 driver). After install it asked me to use XFdrake to configure my graphics card and then restart X I did this, the settings were correct, so I accepted the defaults then logged out and in and all was fine (I expected this because it was not a kernel upgrade).

 

This is the output of urpmi so you can see what it is proposing to install:

 

To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed:

Notice I don't only have the devel packages but the source packages as well - this was one of my earlier attempts to get this to work.

Now can anyone see any reason why the upgrade shouldn't work?

 

I'll leave this post open for a short while and if I don't get any replies I will run the update and post that output along with any findings that I have.

 

EDIT. OK back again with a new kernel. The urpmi part of the install gave no useful info so I will omit that, it simply said installation complete reboot for new kernel. So I did.

 

After the reboot dkms set about installing the Nvidia module and a couple of Vbox modules. The Nvidia module showed no errors, the Vbox modules both failed. When the boot was complete I was dropped into my usual terminal with the usual 'Would you like to diagnose' dialog. I usually ignore this but this time I pressed 'Yes'. There were various EE errors the most significant of which seemed to be:

 

FATAL. Module Nvidia not found.

 

It then went on to ask if I would like to view the Xserver output. Again I usually say no but this time I said yes.

 

Again various errors the most frequent of which was "Failed to load module type 1" and "Failed to load module freetype"

 

I was then asked if I would like to configure the Xserver, I accepted, XFdrake launched and all the options in it were correct. I pressed 'TEST' and just got warnings as above about type1 and freetype.

 

All this I have done a dozen times before and the result is always the same - I install manually.

 

During the manual installation I get 1 warning - /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so is not a symbolic liink. (but it is believe me I have checked!)

 

Press OK the install completes and everything is back to normal except for Vboxdrv which I will now also have to install manually.

 

The only other output related to reading /var/log/Xorg.).log which I include below - but it is rather long.

Well this has now been solved (I think, although the next kernel update will tell for sure) entirely due to the efforts of Anssi Hannula so I would like to publicly thank him for his patience and complement him on his knowledge.

 

The problem was that at some time previously I had used the nvidia installer to install the nvidia driver. Apparently when it runs it deletes certain files that it thinks are unnecessary (and they are as far it is concerned) but for the Mandriva dkms installation of nvidia drivers these files are completely necessary so once you have used the nvidia installer and the files are removed the dkms installer never works again.

 

The solution is:

 

urpmi --replacepkgs x11-driver-video-nvidia-current

 

this replaces the packages removed by the nvidia installer and allows XFdrake to work.

 

I have used this in 2009 and Cooker and in both cases it seems to work.

Told you go to Anssi  :P seriously usually a bugreport isn't even necessary, just a quick chat on irc; glad you got it fixed though

 

Yeah, you were right about that. As I have written it above, the 'fix' looks simple, but the detective work involved in getting there was anything but, it involved a true in depth knowledge of the subject which he certainly has - I was very impressed and a little overawed, I thought I was getting to know Linux until I 'spoke' to him!
