NVIDIA installer and mandrake 9.1, anyone get it to work?

[Guest chris26]

Hi all,

 

I have been trying for over a week to get the Nvidia-installer to actually work on my mandrake 9.1. I had to revert to the "nv" driver just to get into X. I followed the directions as per the README file, but I just kept getting kernel module errors.

 

Does anyone have a possible solution?

I've NEVER had a prob :? .

what's yours? (logs, config files [XF86Config-4, modules.conf], errors etc...)

have you installed the kernel-source and;

sh NVIDIAxxxxxx.run -ane?

Does the kernel-source match the current running kernel?

What card/manufacturer?

[Guest chris26]

bvc,

Thankyou for the reply.

1) Im not sure if my kernel sources are installed. How do I check that out?

2) I ran the installer WITHOUT putting in the options -ane

3) I have a geforce 5600 - ultra

Im not sure how to attach files here so Ill simply post my full nvida.log and my xf86config-4.log

I would love to know how to fix this, and im willing to work it through, if ou can help me out...

here are the logs.

If you're not sure if the kernel source is installed it probably isn't, check with

 

rpm -qa | grep -i kernel

 

and look for something like kernel-source. If it isn't installed, install it and watch your problems magically disappear!

[Gowator]

First do this

 uname -r

This will tell you which version of kernel you are running

Now you probably want to dinstall any of the installer that tried to install

(The command is in the help)



Now you want to edit your XF86config and remove the nvidia and replace with nv so you can boot into linux and X)



Now check the kernel sources are installed.  THESE need to be called EXACTLY the same as the output of uname -r



Now do what Qchem suggests.... i.e.

rpm -qa | grep -i kernel 



The source needs to be EXACTLY the SAME as the output of uname -r



Now you probably wanna install the kernel.  

You can either urpmi kernel-source-<your kernel version>  

or select it from the MCC Add software.  

perhaps the latter allows a bit of checking....



Now you have the kernel source for your running kernel.  

You need to find out what your display manager is.... (the thing you login to graphically)  



in a console type

ps -ef | grep dm



You are looking for one of

gdm, kdm, xdm or mdkdm



As root :  

type /etc/init.d/<yourdm> stop



This will stop the login service



Now CTRL+ALT+BKSPACE or logout should dump you at a login shell.  

login as root

as root 

updatedb

(this will get your indexing up to date)

then type 

locate nvidia 

(you shouldn't get a nvidia.o or nvidia.o.gz but you might if you do then save this output as) 

locate nvidia >nvid-preinstall

(i,e you just created a file with the output of the locate if everything goes wrong we'll use this later)



Now run the installer



after it has finished type

updatedb; locate nvidia

(wait)

You should see the files it has created.  

They should be in a directory called /lib/modules/<'uname -r'>/......





If they aren't then the rest won't work.  

Better to post back.....



Now you need to get X working.... the drak wizard should work....

presently your file is screwed up so let MCC fix it.  

If you type drakconfig at the prompt it brings up a text based version.  

Choose the X setup and get a working config.  (using the old nv driver)

If you aren't starting with it working then you won't know which part is wrong.  





If they are (and I think they will be)

then you can exit root with CTRL+D (or exit)

login as yourself 

then type startx



You are still using the nv driver

open a root console

cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.old.backup



Now use an editor to edit the file.

You can open two windows and have the readme in the other window as you follow it.  



Once its OK then you save it and exit X with logout or CTRL+ALT+BKSPC



then restart with

startx

(Now you should be using the new driver)



If this works then great!!!:D

If not then post back!!!

If you need to use X then you can (as root)

cp /etc/XF86Config-4  /etc/XF86Config-4.nvidia

cp /etc/XF86Config-4.old.backup /etc/XF86Config-4



If everything works your login manger will restart next time you reboot.  

Otherwise you can resart it from a root console as 

/etc/inid.d/<yourdm> start   



(IF it isn't working don't bother doing this)

[Qchem]

You could always switch to run level 3 using

 

/sbin/telinit 3

 

as opposed to switching off the display manager and killing the x session.

[Guest chris26]

Ok guys, still not working,

 

Here is what I did:

 

uname -r shows: 2.4.21-0.13mdkenterprise

 

So, then I installed the 2.4.21.0.13 sources, and when I type

rpm -qa | grep -i kernel:

 

NVIDIA_kernel-2.4.21.0.13mdk-4321-3mdk

kernel-smp-2.4.21.0.13mdk-1-1mdk

kernel-doc-2.4.21-0.25mdk

NVIDIA_kernel-enterprise-2.4.21.0.13mdk-4321-3mdk

kernel-multimedia-smp-2.4.21.0.16mdk-1-1mdk

kernel-enterprise-2.4.21.0.13mdk-1-1mdk

kernel-multimedia-2.4.21.0.16mdk-1-1mdk

kernel-source-2.4.21-0.13mdk

kernel-2.4.21.0.13mdk-1-1mdk

NVIDIA_kernel-smp-2.4.21.0.13mdk-4321-3mdk

 

To be safe, I uninstalled the driver, and reinstalled it using no options.

 

To me, the NVIDIA kernel and the sources look the same, except for an extension on the Nvidia line. XF86Config-4 was setup exactly like in the earlier post.

Now, right after I installed it, I was able to type init 5 and get into X no problem. I thought my problems were solved. However, just to make sure, I called a reboot and I received errors again. THis time it was a GLX error, but unfortunately I cannot post them here because I changed "nvidia" to "nv" and rebooted. That overwrote the log file.

 

When I type locate nvidia I get:

/var/lib/nvidia

/var/lib/nvidia/log

/var/lib/nvidia/100

/var/lib/nvidia/101

/var/lib/nvidia/102

Changing the "nv" to "nvidia" gets me the GLX errors, with no X.

THere was also some kind of error like could not find device NV.

 

Although I dont think this is related to the problem, here is also my XF86Config file.

That is about all I can think if posting here, please please help me get this working if any of you know how to do it. Thanks very much!

[Ixthusdan]

1) Deal only with the XF86Config-4 file, and not XF86Config

2) You are loading glx twice. Put a hash mark (#) infront of "glx".

3) In the XF85Config-4 file, change the driver to "nvidia", no capitals.

 

:wink:

[Guest chris26]

Ok,

 

I commented out the last Load "glx" line,

I changed "nv" to "nvidia"

 

I received these errors:

 

NV: Could not get NV card info ( Invalid argument )

(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize NVIDIA kernel module!

(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***

(EE) NVIDIA(0): Screens found but none have usable configuration

 

Fatal Server Error:

No screens found

 

I tried commenting out the first glx line, then neither of them, still got the same errors. THese are the errors I was originally faced with.

 

Any ideas from here?

 

Chris

[Gowator]

You don't have kernel headers

 

Your running kernel is -enterprise

However as bvc asked , your source doesn't match your running kernel becuase you are using enterprise. You don't have the enterprise source.

In fact its the same source but the installer doesn't know that.

 

Your easiest way to fix this is a bit of a hack.

You probably don't wanna be using enterprise anyway BUT its the only Mandrake kernel to support >868MB RAM

 

However its not optimised for speed.

 

Lets fix one thing at a time though

1) reboot and choose the linux-2.4 .... option, not the default enterprise

2) do everytyhing youve been doing and it will create the modules but only in the right place for your non-enterprise kernel

3) COPY the two files into the same place but in -enterprise in /lib/modules

 

Now reboot back to enterprise

 

Now you might need to do a

depmod -ae (im honestly not sure)

Now go into X with the normal nv driver....

Check everything is still OK then copy the XF86Config-4 thats configured for nvidia NOT nv

restart X

 

Good luck

[bvc]

IF that works, and I don't think it will (have you done this sort of thing?), you will need to;

depmod -ae

The NVIDIA installer does

depmod -aq

....but you're not using the NVIDIA installer, rt? Just prebuilt rpm's, rt? So the source isn't even looked at, just the running kernel. Nvidia can only run, and be installed for one kernel at a time. Yes it's a pain. Pick a kernel you'll run most often, and install with the NVIDIA-Installer. Try prebuilt first. If it doesn't work, then append -ane to the installer to build with the kernel-source.

 

I thought kernel-enterprise had its own source, no? Use to :roll: . I breifly looked at nvidia.com for enterprise instructions but didn't see any. Where is it?....they've got to have something.

[Guest chris26]

Well thanks for your help, anyway everyone.

 

It looks like its just not going to work. The combination of my Hardware, Mandrake 9.1 and Nvidia's drivers must not be completely compatible with each other. Im entertaining the idea of dropping Mandrake because I have had nothing but problems like these with it. Anyway, if I make any last minute attepts to fix it and it works, Ill be sure to post it.

 

Thanks again,

Chris

[Guest jkcavenaugh]

I'm speaking in pure ignorance, but which nvidia driver did you install? I recently had a very similar problem, and it all magically disappeared when I used the installer located in the downloads section above.

NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run

[Guest chris26]

You know what,

 

I dont remember off hand what driver I downloaded, but it definitely wsa not that one!

 

The one I used came directly from Nvidia, and it was slightly different from the one you have posted. Im curious now, is the only on Nvidia's website not the most up-to-date one? Or are you using the standard Mandrake driver that doesnt allow for hardware acceleration?
