I updated my fedora 12 installation the other day, and have been working since then to try to get my computer back to working order. Here's what's up:
I ran a yum update and restarted the computer. When it booted back up I couldn't see anything but a black screen where there should've been a login screen. I can do terminal stuff if I hit ctrl+F2, so keep that in mind. I've determined that the problem is that kmod-nvidia-2.6.32.10-90.fc12.x86_64-195.36.15-1.fc12.1.x86_64 didn't get installed during the update process for some reason. I tried to yum install this file through my terminal access, but it didn't recognize any internet connection (neither wired nor wireless). I've downloaded the kmod-nvidia file to my Windows XP partition, and have also put it on my flash drive. So I need to know one of three things: How to access a Windows partition from terminal, how to access a flash drive from terminal, or how to connect to the internet from terminal so I can get the kmod file.
i don't know what this os want from me one moment everything is fine the next it's not first of all it started asking me to choose resolution on startup it said undefined b31 and i have to press enter then 366 for 1024x1280 32 bit how can i fix this problem how can i define 366 resoultion as default and how can i update the screen card driver for 10.1 i have ati hd 3650 agp card. and by the way what are the cool things i can do with graphics here except the rottaing windows.
I have just installed Ubuntu (9.10) and noted that in order to successfully run the trial off the CD I had to test in "safe graphics" mode. I have an NVIDIA GEforce 6600 GT card - which was discovered by Ubuntu in the first few minutes of the trial and so I activated the recommended driver and continued to test. After a successful trial I installed Ubuntu (dual partition Ubuntu / Windows XP), however, it seems the install didn't activate the required driver (as part of the process) and so I'm unable to get into my newly-installed Ubuntu at all. All I get is a flashing tty screen asking for my username and password - however it's erratic and won't recognise what I type. So - I'm stuck in a catch-22 as there doesn't seems to be a safe graphics mode option via the start (GRUB?) menu list.
2 days ago I upgraded my f12 system to get the latest updates including the latest kernel (as of Xmas day).When I rebooted it appeared that my graphics drivers didn't work and I was restricted to an 800 by 600 res, but otherwise my system worked okI followed the tutorial in the signature of leigh who often posts on here for installing nvidia drivers, but now when I boot up I just get a black screenduring boot up I get that blue screen with the White fedora logo in the middle, but after that instead of going to the login page; I just get a black screen. There is a cursor where I can type but it's not a command prompt by the look of itis there some way I can boot into safe mode, or to reset the graphics driver so I can get back in? I have several live CDs if that will helpmy g card is an nvidia x27---------- Post added at 01:37 PM CST ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 AM CST ----------grub.conf
I have a dell studio 15 laptop which has a ati radeon 4570 512 graphics card and i m using fedora 12 my problem is that, on the ati site there is not any dedicated graphics driver for my 4570 on ati site, i just want to know how can i install grahics driver for my f12 OS. is there is any one in the community who is using a similar ati card
i am using fedora 14. i need graphics driver for Intel 82579v . while moving folders it shows poor graphics.Login screen open as step by step. while playing videos ,it hang.my system is very slow now with high configuration. My system hang while improve graphics option in System-> Preference->Desktop Effects and select compiz and
I am installing Fedora 8 inside Virtual Box. Should I update or just leave it as is? I normally use Ubuntu but I am currently going to college and have a class starting in two weeks. I am just going to be using it for completing Lab Homework and general use. And do I have to activate my graphics driver like I do in Ubuntu, even though its in Virtual Box? I have a Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS w/512mb RAM.
I want to downgrade my Intel driver to version 2.11.0. I don't know what version I have at the moment but I have installed Fedora 15 (Lovelock). The reason is that Office 2007 has graphical bugs with Intel drivers that are newer than 2.11. So, will my gnome shell work fine after the downgrade and how to downgrade? I have searched a lot from google but didn't find any solutions.
I'm using a remix of F14 called Fusion Linux. It's all the same as fedora14. It's come preinstalled with xorg x11 nouveau driver. So, i'm not using Nvidia driver. Now, the problem is that the graphics in wine application are really poor. Fonts appear to be really hazy. See this image to get me better: [URL].. In earlier version of fedora and wine, i used nvidia driver. Graphics used to be good at that time.
I am using fedora10 in my notebook. I installed nvidia-graphics driver as follows.
su -c 'rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...ble.noarch.rpm' su -c 'rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfr...ble.noarch.rpm' su -c 'rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-*'
Then i installed kmod-nvidia with yum su -c 'yum install kmod-nvidia' When i tried to open NVIDIA control panel, i got a message that nvidia-driver should be configured. Then i issued the following command as root. nvidia-xconfig. The i rebooted the system. Now in the boot menu, i see two kernel informations as follows
If i boot my linux with first one, x windows starts, if i boot with the second one (previously default), the x-windows is not opening. Why this happens? So i booted my system with first option in the boot menu. The system booted and x.windows started but i am not able to use any software that uses opengl window. The glxinfo command gives me the following error.
I'm still trying to learn the ropes on linux as a whole and I've run into sort of a huge dilema. I wanted to connect my laptop to my TV via VGA. However, it would not work because I didn't have the proprietary graphics driver for my graphics card (Nvidia Quadro NVS 3100M). I searched the internet and found the guide below because the guide provided here did not specify Quadro family graphics cards[URL]I followed the "easy method" to the T. Now I cannot boot into Fedora 15 at all (I'm stuck on bloody Windows 7 again ). It simply freezes at the boot animation (the "F" in the bubble). What can I do to fix this
I have Fedora 11. After my most recent update, I can't log in. Every time I authenticate, the logon window disappears, the screen goes black briefly, and then I am back at the log in window I entirely reinstalled, and then it worked, until I updated to the newest kernel then it didn't work anymore. Update: I now generated a xorg.conf with system-config-display --noui I manually removed and reinstalled xorg-x11-drv-intel with yum. It didn't work. By the way: now the start hangs on "Starting atd: OK" If I specify "vesa" in xorg.conf, then it gets past the point, but display doesn't load properly.
I've been away from computers/Linux for a while so I'm not up on the unix wrangling anymore. So what happened is I started yum extender and it wanted to update. Fine. I let it. I then notice a new kernel is going in so I decide to reboot. I notice different graphics behavior, then I go into my KDE and the graphics are hosed -- as they were when I tried Kubuntu 9.10, which made me come back to my old favorite Fedora. I freak, calm down, reboot (I don't get the old grub? screen offering me kernel boot choices, it just goes into its "ribbon run" at the bottom of the screen) and go into Gnome. Okay, Gnome works -- but no network, i.e., no eth0, i.e., no Internet to come whining to y'all. I then grab the live install disk, get Internet back -- but I don't know how to access the drive or make any changes!
I cry, dry my eyes, try rebooting and banging like a monkey on the keyboard during startup to see if I can get some sort of rescue mode or grub kernel choice list. Yes! After fifth reboot a random pawing of the F keys produces a grub list, I choose 2.6.31.6-145.fc12.i686 and get back to my previous functionality: KDE and Internet work. Culprit is no doubt 2.6.31.6-162.fc12.i686. I would therefore like to know how to boot to the grub manager and get a choice list of kernels to boot
i upgrade a machine running centos 5.4 to 5.5 this morning. After the update the X start i saw the pointer and a black backgroud only the desktop doesn't appear.The machine is a barebone with this configuration
I've tried two copies of a: Microsoft Natural ergonomic Keyboard 4000 v1.0 Both fail. The result is my screen fills up with whatever key was missed. Re-pressing the key does no good. I have to unplug the keyboard and then plug it back in. So, I'm interested to know if this is a general problem or just my system. Meanwhile, I'm turning down the key repetition rate so it doesn't immediately fill my screen when it happens.....
I get about enabling the NIC on my Asus P7P55D LE motherboard in Fedora 11. During the installation process of Fedora 11 it seems as if the network card was not installed. I cannot find any drivers on Asus support site for Linux/Fedora.
Everytime time I do an update I need to recreate a symbolic link to libssl.so.6 ln libssl.so.1.0.0.c libssl.so.6 Why I should do that manualy? What can I do to fix and have the system to do it

When I install the most recent Linux Kernel: kernel-2.6.34.6-54.fc13 (i686) The installation process removes: Linux Kernel: kernel-2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13 (i686) Plus NVIDIA: kmod-nvidia-2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686-1:195.36.31-1.fc13.2 (i686)
This results in Nvidia.ko not being found during the subsequent restart - the remove activity deletes it from the system. Prior to this activity Nvidia.ko is found in: /lib/modules/2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i696/extra/nvidia. Without Nvidia.ko the display is set to 800x600 resolution. This is the first time I have encountered this problem with a Fedora Linux Kernel update. Will this problem be fixed in a subsequent update, if so when? If not fixed, where do we find the proper Nvidia.ko module? Also, how do you recommend we install it?
downgrade also does not work. I just updated F12 to F13 using DVD and this occured. Also prevents me from doing "full" yum system update, these packages always fail. I do not understand the problem, it says that perl-libs 5.10.1-112 requires perl-libs 5.10.1-112, but I have that installed.
Yesterday I ran updates that moved me from kernel Fedora (2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686.PAE) to Fedora (2.6.34.7-63.fc13.i686.PAE). After reboot my system hangs trying to start X. I can use altF2 and log in that way but when I try to start X it fails - no screen found. I backed off to my previous kernel and used the package manager to remove the updated kernel and noticed that when it uninstalled it did not take any kmod packages with it. I assume not having an associated kmod may have been the problem? If so, how do I find the correct one to install?
relevant info:
Fedora 13 32 bit PAE (KDE spin) video card - nvidia 460gtx video driver - nvidia 260.19.21
I'm using fedora 15 64-bit. Today i was prompted to install some updates, most of them are related to mesa driver updates. Once installed those, I rebooted the system. After login again, i couldn't find any of my files or folders. The hidden files & folders are remain there but rest all were gone. Now my account looks like newly created one. All of my important documents are missing.

Trying "yum update": Gives the following error.
Code:
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: libssl.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly.
It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is:
Additional info: Last update in log is from march 11. But has nothing to do with yum, ssl or python.
I got the following errors in spite of having both the packages installed. What can be done?
