View 1 RepliesI have a problem with my custom kernel when I want to create the Nvidia kernel module.After this finished I installed the image and headers and created the Nvidia kernel module. Everything worked fine.However, if I remove the linux-source from my home directory then I can't create the kernel module.Even though I have the headers for the kernel installed.

ill try to write in english as well as i can.So, my problem is this:Fedora has Nouveau drivers installed by default, and I want to install nVidia propietary drivers.When i try to install Nvidia propietary in runlevel 3, it says that ive to deactivate or unistall Nouveau.
Ok, i do that, but the next reboot, the tty doesnt work (black screen) and i cant access runlevel 3 correctly and i cant install propietary driver. I have looked this in google and i didnt find nothing, so i ask here.
I'm fairly new to Debian, but during the past I've used Mandrake, Slackware and Ubuntu. Few months ago I've migrated from Ubuntu to Debian - I like it a lot but there is one thing which keeps bugging me.Sometimes - one of the few boots - nvidia module won't load and GDM won't start. During the "bad" boot system freezes for a while after the message "PME# disabled" and gives the message about nvidia GPU not supported. Because of that GDM fails to start.Below are the boot logs (without the leading time for easy diff comparison) - the "bad log" when nvidia fails to load and the "good log" when everything is OK. Any help?
View 14 Replies View RelatedAfter upgrading from Debian Wheezy to Jessie, I figured out I needed to install the nvidia drivers in order to play some Steam games. Went to Debian wiki, installed drivers from there, rebooted, stuck in command line. I can't remember what errors did it give though. After a couple days of searching on the internet the problems and trying different things like purging everything nvidia and reinstalling the drivers in different ways and still no success I thought : Perhaps I installed the wrong nvidia drivers?
Did some research, found out that I might have an Optimus system ( from what I read, I have one because I am in possession of 2 graphic cards, an intel and an nvidia one . Installed Bumblebee, everything worked fine until I rebooted and once again, I couldn't move out of the command line. Tried to startx, error no screens found. Opened log, nothing wrong until it gets to the part of loading the nvidia module, which fails and tells me such module does not exist.
Looked into the module folder, there is no nvidia there. I'm also running a dual-boot Dell Inspiron N5110, with Windows 8.1, which I am currently on and Debian Jessie with GNOME.
I can't get the nVidia kernel module built. Each time DKMS runs to install it (I'm trying to install it with the nvidia-kernel-legacy-173xx-dkms package on ), the build fails with a different error. Here is an exemple /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/173.14.27/build/make.log (I have a geForce FX 5200 on the computer I'm trying to install the nVidia driver):

I am running squeeze on a PC 1386 and installed nvidia by using the packages in unstable. I was able to install nvidia and there was no error until the time I started X. The error is unable to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0).
I looked up the log for Xorg and it says Unloadable Module "nvidia".
I spent the entire 24 hours to fix it because this is my office computer and I practically done all the stuff found in the forums. I already did nvidia-xconfig to no avail. I even edited xorg.conf manually and still it was not up.
I have some suspects however which are:
1. Different versions between kernel and nvidia (but since I did it the debian way then I should not have any problems).
2. Nvidia-glx is unusable in Squeeze, so does it mean I go for the unstable distro?
3. Or I miss something crucial on how I installed it?
By the way, I installed Nvidia because I am using a SAMSUNG 21' LED monitor.
I recently bought an AMD R7 360 videocard and I'd like to use the free Radeon driver.
Problem is, PCI-ID 0x665f is not present in Jessie's 3.16 kernel sources. The hardware however is supported, it's just not recognized. So I'll have to get the Debain sources and patch include/drm/drm_pciids.h
From the 4.1rc1 kernel I know what to patch and where.
Debian page that explains how to use the Debian build system for recompiling the current kernel from Debian packages?
I am trying to get my Debian system running. I have an older Dell Precision 490 with two dual core CPUs. It has 16G Ram, an 150G Intel solid state drive, a 230G data drive, and a 600G backup drive. I have two Samsung monitors attached to the NVIDIA Geforce FX 5xx card. I have been using this machine for several years with Etch, then Lenny, running KDE 3.5. I recently needed to upgrade to Squeeze and KDE4 and have had nothing but problems since. I keep having issues with the video drivers, every time I touch anything the drivers seem to upgrade from the legacy 173 to the current 195.
There have been other library compatibility issues as well (gclib) and the machine has not been stable. This morning the system was running very slowly with X running at 100% (from top) and then the entire system froze. After a hard reboot, X did restart. The Xorg.0.log has the following message:
"Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module! Please ensure that there is a supported NVIDIA GPU in this system, and that the NVIDIA device files have been created properly..."

I built a kernel-module for a new usb wifi-card. This worked well and resulted in a 8821au.ko-file. But now I'm trying to load this kernel module since half an hour and it doesn't work. I copied the ko-file into /lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/kernel/drivers/edimax. If I just type
Code: Select allsudo modprobe 8821au
I get a
Code: Select allmodprobe: FATAL: Module 8821au not found..
But if I enter the full path inside the /lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64-folder:
Code: Select allsudo modprobe -v ./kernel/drivers/edimax/8821au.ko
it seems to work:
Code: Select allbuiltin ./kernel/drivers/edimax/8821au.ko.
But lsmod doesn't show me the module after that.
I also added
Code: Select all./kernel/drivers/edimax/8821au.ko
to /etc/modules but this also doesn't seem to work. When booting I get an error-message, but it's too fast to read it and I can't find the right log-file, where the booting-part with the "[ OK ]"-messages is reported.
So my driver is ready, the onliest thing which I can't get working is loading it as a kernel-module.
I installed ndiswrapper and tried adding a driver. Error: module ndiswrapper not found.So I recompiled my kernel, upgrading to 2.6.33.4 (no, I can't see the logical connection either) After a week, I got the new kernel working ( in the interim I reinstalled debian- it didn't survive my first kernel attempt. don't ask), and reinstalled ndiswrapper. Same problem. So I had a stoke of genius: download the source package!! So I did. Lo and behold, a new directory appeared in /usr/src/ : modules. I took a moment to admire my work, then I jumped in.I 'ls'ed to see what was going on, and found a Makefile. so I typed 'make'. First error: kernel source not found. So I entered the Makefile, found the(clearly marked)variable,and changed it to /usr/src/linux-2.6.33.4 , exited, and redid 'make' Second error: no wireless support in kernel. So I went to src/linux-2.6.33.4 and did a make menuconfig- loaded my current, threw in wireless, and exited.

I upgraded my kernel in my Debian Lenny to version 2.6.32-bpo.4-amd64 to fix a problem with a software and ALSA-related issues. The thing is that now, when I boot, eth1 is not enabled and I have to "load" (I guess) the driver each time. To do this, I go to the folder where all the files for the drivers are and I run:
modprobe lib80211
and then
insmod wl.ko
That I got from the readme file. That gets the wireless working perfectly again, but when I reboot the wireless is dead again and I have to run the commands above again. I imagine that what I should do is to build the driver again, for my new kernel. However, according to the readme file, before I need to install linux-headers-generic and build-essential. With build-essential, it says it's already the newest version, and with the linux-headers, I don't know which one should I install for my kernel! I thought it would be the linux-headers-2.6.32-bpo.4-xen-amd64, but when I tried that, this is what happened:
debian:/home/hernan/Programas/hybrid_wl# apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.32-bpo.4-xen-amd64
Reading package lists... Done

So the warning says something about the MODULE_LICENSE being missing... how to build the driver again to make it load each time I boot?
I'm running Testing and need to pass some parameters to my bttv tv tunner card, for this reason I created the following file /etc/modprobe.d/kozumi.conf with this content:
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
options pll=1 radio=1 bttv_verbose=1 card=151 tuner=38 gbuffers=4
The problem is that for some reason this options aren't properly set after booting the computer, I've tried different combinations for line 1 and 2 without success.
I'm used to rmmod the bttv driver and modprobe manually with those settings but I'd like to automate the process.
Squeeze's latest update has upgraded my kernel from 2.6.32-3-686 to 2.6.32-5-686.My wireless stopped working and then I realised that I had to rebuild the wifi modules. I had followed this earlier.URL...For this new kernel, which I step of the process should I repeat? Rebuild module? Or just do a modprobe?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a printer connected locally to my Debian box. It runs fine via cupsd.I am also running a Windows 2003 VMware guest which I would like to use the printer (use as a local printer, not a network printer).
VMware offers a connection via USB, so it should work. The printer I have plugged locally into the Debian host is recognised by the Windows 2003 guest, but it won't print. I get an error message saying that the printer is still connected to the host OS, and that I need to remove (or presumably disable) the host driver before the guest can use the printer.
So how can I find out which printer driver/module is being used by the Debian host to connect to this printer? And what is the best way to temporarily disable it, while my VMware guest is running?
I spent quite a lot of time jumping from one thread to another trying to fix a problem with my NVIDIA drivers in Lucid. I was getting the error message on startup: NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module ...Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0) No drivers available".
After a lot of trial and error, this is what worked for me (I have updated this thread following [URL]):
- Download the latest NVIDIA driver from www.nvidia.com/page/drivers.html
- In the terminal cd to the directory where you downloaded the driver package (e.g., $ cd Downloads)and make it executable (e.g., $ sudo chmod +x ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-256.53.run)
- Edit blacklist.conf $ gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

I'm trying to use module-assistant to add the vboxdrv using instructions also found here in the debian forum. However, m-a can't find the linux-headers because it looks for the package linux-headers-2.6.32-5-trunk-686. I attempted to specify were the headers were by using:
m-a prepare --kernel-dir /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-5-686/
but also doesn't work. Instead, I get the error:
Bad kernel version specification at /usr/bin/m-a line 566.
Anyone knows how to work around this?
By the way, the reason I am doing this is because when I installed virtualbox (following the instructions in debian wiki) there's no vboxdrv. When I try to modprobe it, I get:

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Squeeze. I had sound with the video driver that came with the install. Then I installed the Nvidia driver from Nvidia website. The sound dissappeared. When I uninstalled the Nvidia driver and removed xorg.conf and rebooted again, the sound came back. Then I installed the Nvidia driver from (nvidia-glx, dev and settings) from Debian with Synaptic. The sound went away again. If I uninstall the nvidia driver and xorg.conf the sound will probably come back again. The sound driver is the one that came with the install.
The volumes are unmuted in the alsamixer. Somehow alsaconf command does not work.

I installed Debian Squeeze (choosing no when prompted to add support for non-free or contrib sources) and noticed that the fan of my Nvidia 9600 GT video card is constantly running at full speed. I thought this meant that the default driver is not properly working. I would like to configure my system so that the video card fan is not being pushed so hard.
I downloaded the latest Nvidia (propietary) driver, stopped gdm3, and ran the driver installer. The installer failed because it said the Nouveau kernel driver was currently in use and incompatible with the Nvidia driver. I chose not to allow the installer to update my modprobe configuration directory. nvidia-installer log file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log'
[Code]...
It looks at though the xorg.conf.new file has the nv driver in use, but the Nvidia installer says the Nouveau driver is being used. I ran a line in terminal (i forget the exact line) to test the xorg.conf.new file in the /root/ directory. The result was No Screens Found.
Next, I tried to remove the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package using aptitude, but it displayed a message indicating that xserver-xorg-video-all depends on it. I decided not to remove the xserver-xorg-nouveau package. Any suggestions on how to proceed in order to configure X with a free driver (nv, vesa, or nouveau) so that the video card is handled properly?
