Fedora Hardware :: After Install Nvidia Kmod Package No More Splash Screen While Bootup
Feb 4, 2010
I am an old linux user (debian,suse and ubuntu) and i installed now fedora on my box to learn something new about other distros.
Fedora 12 is realy nice, but i got some questions about some things.
I installed the nvidia kmod on this way:
Code:
I inserted this in my grub.conf in etc on the kernel line at the end-> rdblacklist=nouveau after install nvidia kmod package no more splash screen while bootup
Code:
This is what happens if i reboot my pc: i see grub then i start or select fedora12 booting i see for a moment some text then i see only a blackscreen and the bottom of the screen a blue horizontal line with the loading status for the fedora x server gnome. if the line is full, gnome apears.
I would like to have no splash screen and to see the console debug output
just updated to new 2.6.33.124 kernel along with some other updates to python and boy what a mess! I can't run at all with the new kernel (the kernel appears to load but stops before the xserver loads, I think)I really don't think this is a generally problematic bug though, i'm afraid that this setup is just fusty since I have been having trouble with metacity (causes the cpu to spin up --metaphorically of course--to ridiculous amounts until I kill the process, which it happily does without actually killing it but it does spin down again to 2-3% from 60% or so) and the python update seems to have killed the nVidia setup and 3D as well. so.... anybody have any suggestions on how to straighten this mess out without setting up again? This is actually the second time I set this up since the metacity bug made me thing it was fusty the first time, but a second setup didn't solve it.
I did turn the metacity bug in as a kernel bug (because it was in some way related to massive kernel ticks which was keeping the cpu going, but have had no response to that, unless this latest update did that.
I have just upgraded the hard drive in my laptop with a new one that isn't about to crash (I dropped the laptop a few months back). After installing Fedora 12, the first thing I did was try to install kmod-nvidia and all its dependencies. Upon rebooting Fedora goes to the boot splash, and then when the login screen should display it instead shows a blank black terminal like screen. Do diagnose this I logged in under terminal (tty3) and proceeded to try to start X manually. It displayed an error to the effect of 'could not load Nvidia kernel module Nvidia_module.so3'. I figured it must have been a glitch so I reinstalled kmod and the same thing happened. Tried reinstalling Fedora all together and still the same result. I am getting kmod from the RPM Fusion repo
setting up Nvidia packages on CentOS. The best advice regarding these drivers that I found was to add the RPM Fusion Yum repository(as well as EPEL, which RPM Fusion depends on).I got that set up, but I still don't have any Nvidia packages available! I'm reasonably confident that I set up RPM Fusion correctly from Yum's output:
yum repolist Loading "fastestmirror" plugin repo id repo name status addons CentOS-5 - Addons enabled
[code]....
But actually trying to install the package gives me: No package kmod-nvidia available. Even a yum search for nvidia doesn't find any packages.
I've been scouring google, using all forms of guides to try and get these damn nvidida drivers installed so I can move my resolution from 800x600 to 1280x1024 (I have a small monitor) I'm running a NVidia GeForce 260 GTX. I've executed yum update I've run rpm - [URL] and everything installed. I've edited grub.conf to disable the default drivers.
how to install kmod-nvidia for fedora 13 beta.*I know there is an experimental mesa driver that works. However, it does not control fan speed, and the fan is always on full. It's driving me crazy.
I have been using F13 with no problem for ages, but yesterday I decided to wipe my computer and re install it, and now I am having problems! It is with the nvidia driver.
I have a GeForce 8600 GT and usually just install kmod-nvidia and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 and blacklist the nouveau driver and that works fine. However since yesterday I recieve this error when trying to install kmod-nvidia:
Error: Package:
From hunting around on the net I took this to mean that there isn't a kmod-nvidia for the latest kernel? So one thing it said to try was to install akmod-nvidia, which I did. Then on boot up I saw that it created the correct dirvers for what I wanted and booted into Fedora, I tested that it worked (with 3d effects) and everything was fine.
However, when I restarted the computer it got seemingly to the end of the boot sequence, and then the screen just flashed repeatedly for a few seconds and then didn't do anything?
I just installed F14 which generally went well. I then did an install of kmod-nvidia and now the system hangs on start up. I see a couple of warnings and failures regarding the nvidia.ko module, and then the startup script stops after Starting atd: [OK] The screen flashes a couple of times and then is non-responsive. I can't even seem to get to the command line to back out the kmod-nvidia installation.
Is it possible to create a custom bootup splash screen, either a bitmap graphics file or just a simple text file. I'm not talking about the BIOS splash screen nor the boot loader input splash screen, but rather somewhere in between, i.e. when the HDD is detected as the boot drive, a splash screen is shown. I'm trying to make sort of a "rescue disk" that simply boots up to a shell, and I am wondering if I can display a custom message once the PC is booting up from this disk.
about 10 days ago i have update my f14 with the last kernel , but now i have some dependency problem and my wireless doesn't work with the new kernel ...
Code:
[root@atom ~]# uname -a Linux atom 2.6.35.9-64.fc14.i686 #1 SMP Fri Dec 3 12:35:42 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [root@atom ~]# [root@atom ~]#
However, I've been trying to get a splash screen up, and it doesn't work.This is the splash screen I want to use: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.p...?content=79783
I've tried to install Usplash, but the package was broken.I tried to install it via Softpedia, but it was missing the artwork .so.I've also tried to install SplashY, but it is also a broken package! How can I install this splash screen?
I am at a loss trying to figure out the options to not show the scrolling boot messages during the boot-up of Clonezilla. Is there a way to have a loading splash screen or even have a static logo that is displayed during the boot process? I have my automated recovery method all ready to go short this one last feature. I have searched all over and am coming up empty on this one.
I can't find kmod so I'll go for the Nvidia installer from [URL]. I tried to run it Quote: su -c 'sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-XYZ.AB.pkg1.run' but it wants me to kill xserver. How can I do that? " gdm stop" will kill Xserver too? How will I start it again?
I installed Fedora 12 nowdays and tried to install the driver as Leigh posted in here: [URL]...Well i had some depadency trouble by installing kmod-nvidia and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686. I enabled rpmfusion repo of course. I don't have anything isntalled just the base programs what fedora installs. I updated the kernel and installed kernel-devel aswell.
I Have just formatted to Fedora 14 64bit and installed kmod-nvidia akmod-nvidia and am experiencing visual lag. The lag did not occur before I installed the drivers, neither did it occur on Fedora 13 with drivers installed.
I have a priitty high spec pc with the nvidia 260 gtx.
just remove xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-260.19.12-3.fc14.i686
After rdblacklist=nouveau in grub it runs, but I am having several issues and therefore I would like to downgrade to nouveau or whatever I had running with basic fedora 12 installation.
i did something wrong and i was left with one way and that was reinstalling fedora core 12 so i don't want to do the wrong way one more time,what is the difference between kmod-nvidia and akmod-nvidia?i did yum -y install akmod-nvidia and then type xconfig-nvidia on the terminal,after logging off i confront with a blank screen,so i reinstall fc12 x86-64.from what i've understand this is what i should do?
1:yum update
2:setsetbool -P allow-execstack on ==> in order to lower your system protection so SElinux doesn't prevent the driver from loading
3:if it's standard kernel type use komd-nividia and for PAE kernel type use kmod-nvidia-PAE
4: Keep nouveau from loading so
su -c 'mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img' and su -c 'dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)'
5:To use the default initrd, but disable the nouveau driver, edit /etc/grub.conf and add the following to the end of the line(s) starting with 'kernel':
rdblacklist=nouveau
if these are right!will yum update command update everything?as i'm still on dial up.i couldn't find kmod-nvidia with command yum install kmod-nvidia [although i had rpmfusion free&nonefree but i did not execute the yum update command before that,is this the reason that yum could not find the komd-nvidia?
[URL] I just updated and then saw this news , whats the solution for me, I either want to go beta or downgrade, If i try to boot to previous kernel, boot hangs in graphic mode, I cant start X and gdm . How to install kmod with beta drivers? Or whats the solution, nvidia ver: 195.36.08
Having downloaded the DVD iso which failed to burn correctly I decided to try a live X86_64 iso, and installed from that. This was fine and I had set everything up apart from the nvidia drivers( nouveau worked but with no 3d for desktop effects). The card is a 7300LE and was working fine with kmod-nvida in F12. Following the instructions that leigh provides a howto for as usual I thought I would finish off the install. However I had several errors show up, which unfortuantely I did not keep a note of concerning dracut. On the restart the install was trashed, just froze solid in plymouth. Having been here before I decided that I would just do a complete reinstall again and investigate further what is going wrong later.
Having now a really nice slick F13 with all my servers set up etc and now running under nouveau I have just decided to check out dracut dependencies with the following: rpm -qR dracut-005-3.fc13
This gives:
Checking through the list of installed software I am unable to locate the following:
Though rpmlib is installed which may well be for the various rpmlib()'s above, I cannot see any package for fileutils,mktemp or mount in the repo's.
I got my nvidia drivers for my Fedora 11 64 bit system from RPMFusion.But each time my kernel is upgraded, X stops working because I don't have the proper module installed. Previously I booted an earlier kernel and installed the proper nvidia kernel module, and all was well. But this time with kernel vmlinuz-2.6.30.9-96.fc11.i686.PAE, I don't yet have the corresponding kernel module.So I have to make do for the moment with an earlier kernel.
But in the process I discovered the metapackage kmod-nvidia-185-18.36-1.ff11.3.x86_64, and installed it.It has no files, and according to the information blurb, its sole purpose is to keep the installation of the kernel and the kernel module in sync.Does anyone know how this works?Is the kernel not installed until the corresponding kernel module is available?Also, it hasn't even been 24 hours, so I guess I should be patient, but how long is it likely to be before the kernel module for tthe new kernel is available?
I have not had this problem on this machine since the days of fedora 1. The problem is that there is not kmod-nvidia driver for the current kernel in the rpmfusion repo, nor akmod can build one at boot up. Looking at the log files, akmods spits this error message:

so, i have 2 23" 1920X1080p monitors they were working fine, but i just didn't have the 3d support i needed to play some games that i enjoy. So... i tried installing the kmod-nvidia and the xorg x11 libraries that all of the other forums told me to do. then i restarted and now only one screen is working, at 1280X1024, it's "unknown" and i haven't a CLUE what to do here
I've installed kmod-nvidia on my F12 system and now it doesn't boot anymore. I just receive a black screen with a blinking '_' on top of my screen immediately after i choose F12 in my grub menu. (I have a Nvidia 8800GT.)
I've tried to run the following command after the installation but it didn't work: [url]
After installing nvidia drivers (sudo yum install kmod-nvidia), Fedora12 (kernel 2.6.31.12/5) fails to start. To be more exact, it show the 'loading screen', and then the screen gets all scrambled. Trying to switch the ttys doesn't work either (though I can boot in runlevel 3).
I know that there might be some conflicts with nouveu, but i followed the steps from 'Fedora Nvidia Driver Install Guide' (not allowed to post URLs), so I guess nouveu isn't exactly my problem(?).
Another puzzling thing about this, is that I can boot and use FC12 from VMware. No problems there. I also tried removing/reinstalling the kmod-nvidia (and everything else nvidia related), but the problem persists.
I have installed kmod-nvidia-173xx and done everything your guide says [URL], but after reboot I get a flashing _ . What can I do? nVidia has always been a pain to me on my obsolete graphics card.
