Jul 8, 2010A few years back I gave linux a try. It was fun but eventually I dropped it because simple tasks like installing software were always a practice in goose hunting and copy/paste command marathons. I am trying again to get fedora up and going. Thinking many of the old methods would be cleaned up by now. I was trying to install nvidia drivers for my 8800 card.
I download the *.run file and it tells me I need to disable "X...etc" so I init 3 to the command prompt and run the *.run file there. Then the installer says.... "hey buddy.. you need gcc to make this work". ok.. I type init 5 to get back to the internet browser. So I search about google for a few moments and then find the yum command for getting gcc installed. Run the gcc and again... init 3 to get back to the command prompt and run the *.rn file for the nvidia drivers. This time the installer says... "hey man... you need the kernel source tree".

Fedora Hardware :: How To Install Old Version Of NVidia Drivers From RPMfusion
Nov 5, 2010The actual nvidia driver version (260.1912) does not work for my laptop (a Sony Vaio F11 series type, see bottom of page [URL]), I would like to install an older version (e.g. 256.53). Up to now, I cannot figure out how to tell yum to pick up an older version. Is there a way to do this (because kmod-nvidia is a meta package, there may be problems?), or do I have to install 256.53 manually (using the installer provided by nvidia)?

CentOS 5 :: Can't Install Nvidia Drivers (Unable To Load The Kernel Module "nvidia.ko")?
Jul 28, 2009So I have been trying to install these drivers forever and after going through a million forum posts and Google searches I have been unsuccessful. The process I have been trying starts as such: I hit ctrl-alt-f1 and then login as root. i then change to run level 3 by doing /sbin/init 3. After that's done I cd to desktop and do sh NVIDIA-LINUX-x86-185.18.29-pkg1.run --kernel-source-path /usr/src/kernel/2.6.18-128.2.1.el15-i686
If I don't give it the source path it can't find the source tree. Eventually I get the error: ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko'. This happens most frequently when this kernel module was built against the wrong or improperly configured kernel sources, with a version of gcc that differs from the one used to build the target kernel, or if a driver such as rivafb/nvidiafb is present and prevents the NVIDIA kernel module from

Fedora :: EasyLife Project Vs Russian Fedora Remix?
Feb 19, 2011First little history here: First tried Suse 7 years ago, or something like that. Not used actually, was collecting dust on second partition. Then after view years switched Ubuntu 5 or 6 or something. Used it for view years on my desctop. Linux only. No dual boot nothing. Then bought a mac mini. Played with OSX for view years. While following lessons of Fedora and CentOS. Then Win7 came out. Used it for view years. To be kind of up to date.
Now:
a view month ago i installed Russian Fedora Remix on a mac. I a sence of completely switching back to linux. I dont want to use OSX for example simply because you get used to what u use. So i tough ill run lets say Fedora on my desktop at home and workstation at work. And surely CentOS on server('s). For glpi for example, or wahtever else. Fog maybe.
The trouble: Ive installed Russian Fedora Remix and then installed EasyLife Project on it. Everything runned fine for view month. Then view weeks ago it stated to refuse to update because of package conflict. On Russian Fedora Remix forum ive got an advise to remove the conflicting package. (Alsa). When i removed it, it removed also one gig dependencies. Now gnome and kde do not log in. Only openbox and enlightenment work. Browsers do not work. And i doubd something else works at all.
THe question: I wondered what are the proc and cons of the RPMFusion enabled by EasiLife project and Russian Fedora Remix repos. Because RFR repos already contain non free codecs and so on. My first tough was that maybe it would be more interesting to use Russian repos because maybe they would be littlebit later in updates. So if an update brakes something. It can be fixed before it was added there. Im Russian by the way, thats why im interested in this version. Althou what is more of concern to me is that RFR contains all the codecs out of the box. For me on the PC its RFR or SuperOS that are interesting. The rest are details. But then, my second though was that maybe RFR might also be kind of purer then EasyLife project. I mean i remember the days when people on Ubuntu forums were against Automatix. Offcourse i expected EasiLife project to be more cosher maybe. Maybe because its fedora finaly not ubuntu. I always tought that fedora forums are kind of more professional but, what is not so good, less friendly compared to ubuntu. Thats was my impression. And also ive been already suggested on the fedora irc to not use easylife project. I actually installed it on RFR mainly because of a habit of installing it on fedora. And because of a theme. But that is not a concern anymore. Cuz ill costumize it anyway.
Fedora Hardware :: How To Install "older" Nvidia 195 Drivers
Sep 17, 2010The drivers from rpmfusion are the 256.xx version drivers. Unfortunately I have two games from LGP - X2 "the treat" and X3 "Reunion", and those games have BIG problems with the newer 256 drivers.So - I am forced to install the "older" 195.xx range drivers (the last ones that behaved good). The problem is - I cannot use rpmfusion for that -they have only the latest drivers and no older ones-, so I amd forced to download the drivers and install everything by hand.
At first I tought "no problem". I have done that before with other distro's like Mandriva, openSUE, PCLinuxOS etc. and never had any trouble. It was just a case of installing the kernel headers, developmenpackages, compile the driver and tweak the xorg.conf file.After a restart everything works as I wanted.With Fedora 13 however it seems not to go that easy. The first try resulted in a lock-up - even to a point I could not use Ctrl+Alt+F"x" to switch to a terminal. By the way - I "disabled" the nouveau driver in the grub startup configuration, but that also did not helped one bit. This is weird, as compiling did not give any error and I have to assume that part was going ok. I really have no idea what is going wrong here.

But I still get Undefined Rendering in Flash Player. And Boxee plays videos cropped on the left hand side. Right now I have 270.40.16 drivers installed.

Ubuntu :: Install The NVidia Video Drivers?
May 1, 2011I just installed 11.04 and I knew I would have to install the NVidia video drivers. So it was no surprise when it popped up a warning and dropped me into Gnome Classic view. So I turned on the NVidia drivers and rebooted. In my desktop selection menu on the login screen I have "Ubuntu" and "Ubuntu Classic".
Unfortunately they look exactly alike, with the Gnome panel along the top, and the panel with the taskbar, desktops and recylce bin on the bottom. I've gone back-and-forth a few times and nothing has changed. Some changes in one environment is not set in the other, like they really are 2 different environments.
According to the Software Center, Unity (not Unity 2D) *is* installed.So how can I boot into the Unity desktop?
