I've been trying to get the Nvidia drivers from the nvidia site installed by running-devdriver_4.0_linux_64_270.41.19.run
I have a GeForce 210 PCI Express DDR3 graphics card. I've recently screwed an old version of fedora trying to do this and ended wiping it and installing Fedora 15. I managed to get the standard setup working nice with dual screen support and Tux Kart working smoothly which has never happened before with ATI cards.
The reason i've tried to get an NVIDIA card working is so that i can try to do some development with CUDA. To do this i need to get the proprietary driver working. To get the install program working correctly i've edited the kernel options in grub.conf to stop nouveau driver which seemed to work. The next step i got onto was the need for the kernel source which i've installed. The program can't find this, even with a load of Symbolic links giving-
/usr/src/linux-2.6.40-4
/usr/src/linux
/usr/src/2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64
/usr/src/linux-2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64
/usr/src/linux-2.6.40-4
all pointing to-
/usr/src/Kernels/2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64
After following the steps of dozens of guides, i now cannot run games that need 3d support and i'm no further in getting the proprietary drivers working. Coding in CUDA is a distant dream after weeks of faff in my spare time to go 2 steps back and one forward...
Does anybody know how to do all this? If anybody could help me i'd be very grateful. I've never had decent graphics support in linux. Everytime i've tried it's ended in a horrible mess!
I apologize if this is a duplicate post but I was unable to find anything that addressed my question. Currently I've installed the nvidia developer driver (beta) found here:[URL]..
After installing the driver everything works correctly. Rebooting the system results in a hang prior to starting X. Opening a new console and running start X provides me with the following error:
Code: [ 103.884] X.Org X Server 1.8.2 Release Date: 2010-07-01 [ 103.885] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [ 103.885] Build Operating System: x86-10 2.6.32-44.el6.x86_64
[Code]..;.
At this point if I reinstall the driver and reissue startx, again the system starts up properly. Also I've noticed that after a reboot, my xorg.conf file is being overwrriten.
I've spent about 3 hours yesterday trying to get my GeForce 210 with CUDA DevDriver running on the 3.0.4 kernel. It was running w/o problems on 2.6.39-desktop (with dev-src for 2.6.37). [yeah, I know I should stick to what works - but I don't like it]
After uninstalling the old drivers I tried several ways for an installation of the new ones:
1. ./devdriver_4.0_linux_64_270.41.19.run on the new kernel (even manually navigating to the kernel-src folder)
2. ./devdriver_4.0_linux_64_270.41.19.run on the old kernel, with new dev-src &c. 3. XFree 280.16 driver on the new kernel with the new dev-src &c.
The results:
3. Works now.
2. did not compile telling me the source files were missing (obviously, as they were for 3.0.4 and not 2.6.39)
1. Aborted the installation with the following (excerpt from nvidia-installer.log)
I updated kernel and everything seemed ok, except HD-PVR is locking up and recording only two minutes of every show it records. So, I have gone back to my previous kernel, but it seems that X isn't starting:
Code:

Fatal server error:no screens found I had done a yum install kmod-nvidia for the newer kernel. I am thinking I need to get the kmod for the current kernel again (2.6.32.12-115.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Apr 30 19:46:25 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux), but am not sure how that is done?
my problem is on installing nvidia driver on fc12 32bit but, first of all, as i understood the pae kernel requires more than 4gb of ram,i have a 2.2 ghz cpu with 2 gb ram,but when i run command:uname -r it answers: 2.6.31.5-127.PAE [i have fc12 32 bit] when we try to download linux we have a 32bit edition or 64bit edition,do we have an edition which is only for pae? or when we install for example the 32bit edition on a computer with more than 4gb of ram then the kernel automatically will change to be a pae kernel??
I posted a topic earlier, mostly about my wireless, but the sound problem I mentioned having on Ubuntu seems to have followed me to Fedora. From the information I've gathered, it appears to be due to Pulseaudio. Basically, I'm not very adept with Linux info outside the ordinary terminal commands for yum, sudo, yast, etc and I need to be able to either completely remove pulseaudio or disable it entirely somehow. From my experience on Ubuntu, just muting or disabling sound won't fix a thing... This problem doesn't seem to exist for me on Windows (though it would take a lot more than this to make me bother with that again), so I'm guessing it isn't anything too critical to fix (like a hardware problem or whatever else).
solve this little nightmare and remove or disable pulseaudio? Between the two sounds (a sort of buzzing for no real reason and a slight popping when some sound effects happen), I'm in a pretty annoying position.
I've installed the Boinc 6.4.5 x86_64 using F10 update package from Fedora repo. The client runs fine using the CPUs, but doesn't fing the nVidia display processors. I've installed nVidia drivers using Fusion repo packages for F10 ( currently 180.25 ) nVidia display settings seems happy and correctly reports driver 180.25 in place as well as 9600 GSO graphics card and LCD monitor.
My objective is to get Boinc using the CUDA capabilities of my GeForce 9600 GSO graphics card and see some of the performance benefits advertised. Although Boinc client is running it will only use the CPU to do work. I have not been able to discover any flags or configuration settings to help Boinc find CUDA library files. I'm stuck at the limits of my knowledge. The following are the startup messages from Boinc. I'm assuming the fact that it can't find the library causes the inability to see the GPU coprocessor.
I am trying to install the Nvidia Quadro NVS 110 169.04 drivers but am having issues during install. Prior to attempting my install I did install the kernel-devel rpm so it can compile. after running the RPM I get. Quote: No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you like the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel from the NVIDIA ftp site [URL]?
which of course does not work. next it says Quote: "No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; this means that the installer will need to compile a new kernel interface.. i hit okay and move on to. Quote: Error: Unable to find the kernel sources tree for the currently running kernel. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat linux systems, for example be sure you have the 'kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' RPM installed. if you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the "--kernel-source-path' command line option
The updated Kernel 2.6.32.26.175.fc12 (i686) broke nVidia 96xx drivers (nVidia MX-4000 card).Resulted in a quickly flashing cursor in the upper left corner, with no X startup.I removed the driver and let it rebuild using akmod. Still have the same problem.When I revert back to the previous kernel 2.6.32.23-170.fc12.i686, all is well.At this point, wonder what the chances are of this being fixed? Seems the last set of updates before EOL of a release always breaks something critical.
Anyone know what happened here or what I need to do? I'm running Fedora 12 and had the nvidia video driver setup and working perfectly from rpmfusion repo ... I just did a yum update and now my display is stuck on 800X600 ....
Having just updated various files including the kernel using Package Manager I no longer seem to have the correct version of the Nvidia graphics driver. On previous updates this has been done automatically by the "kmod Nvidia" Metapackage. My last kernel was 2.6.32.19-163 fc12.i686.PAE and the Nvidia driver for that did get downloaded correctly. Looking on Yumex I cannot see a driver for this latest kernel listed.
I updated FC14 which included the kernel and also the nvidia drivers kmod. Then after a reboot the video driver wouldn't load. From another terminal I tried different things to fix it and didn't managed. I eventually erased all nvidia drivers so that I can get the default one. Now every time it boots I get a really low light. I can login, but can't see. It seems that the whole screens has about 5% light and I can't see to do anything. I managed now to boot into FC live CD for FC15 and I have light. For FC14 live CD it's the same no light problem.
I tried all older kernels to boot but I have the same problem. I am using PAE kernel and that's why I installed the kmod drivers. But now, since they are not anymore and I can't see anything, even though I am logged in I don't know what to do next. Is there something I can do from FC15 live cd? How can I go using the terminal to my harddisk and how to add the driver or any low graphic driver so that I can have light? After I did yum erase *nvidia* the light went almost off.
I had the 180.xxx nvidia drivers on my FC10 setup.I installed the 185.xxx and am running into issues. It gives me the fatal server error: no screens found message. Before that it says that the nvidia kernel module is 180.xxx and the driver component has 185.xxx. I can't seem to figure out how to uninstall the previous module to make this work. I removed the yum kmod nvidia. I'm running this using sh nvidia.185xxx.xxxx.run . The weird thing is that it sometimes would work but then I would restart and it would break again. Thanks in advance,
im trying to install the driver for my nvidia GeForce 7300 GS.i have Fedora 12 installed in an Intel duo core 2 processor 64 bits.kernel installed is 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64...i followed leigh's guide i did the 4 steps but after reboot screen goes blanck and X dont work.the log says:
-> Kernel module load error: insmod inserting './usr/src/nv/nvidia.ko' -1 no such device
i ran yum update which updated kernel to 2.6.31.9.174.fc12.i686.PAE. Now after logging in i get a blank white screen. With previous kernel updates i have had no such problem. Anyway, the boot messages are following:
Quote:

Forgive me if I have posted this in the wrong forum, first time poster with Fedora. I have been using Linux for some time now, mostly Mint, but Fedora 12 @ work. Anyway, I receive the following error in my /var/log/boot.log:
Code: nvidia.ko for kernel 2.6.32.9-70.fc12.i686 was not found and the driver does not load (My xorg.conf file is not loaded), but once I am at a
I searched around and found out the kernel accepts only GPL modules, which is pretty dumb. People recommended using rpmfusion's akmods, but that's what I'm using to begin with.
How can I fix this without having to recompile the kernel?
I just responded to a (packagekit?) prompt to update packages, which included new kernel 2.6.35.12-88.fc14.x86_64. I use nVidia on my notebook and usually the new driver is installed automatically. This time, the computer would not boot to the stage that the nVidia logo appears, indicating the driver is not present. I edited grub.conf to take me back a version and I am now running under the previous kernel 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64. I tried a yum search for kmod-nvidia-2.6.35.12-88.fc14.x86_64 and nothing was found. I have enabled these repos:
I read somewhere that if you run nVIDIA, that a PAE kernel won't work with it. Not supported, IIRC... Any truth to this? - My linux is (so it seems anyway) OK & I'd rather not mess it up. But I WOULD like to "use" all 4G of memory I have.
I have just updated my kernel to version 2.6.38.8-35 in Fedora 15, it now refuses to boot that kernel. I just get a lot of text on the screen and nothing happens. I can ctrl-alt-fn to get to a prompt, but I do not know how to fix the nvidia problem.
When I edit Xorg.conf and replace 'nvidia' with 'nv' the new kernel boots but only to fallback mode, trying to then re-install the nvidia drivers shows them to be already installed and I can get no further.
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)
im having an intel E2180 processor with 2 gb RAM and an nvidia 8400gs graphics card. Lately i installed Fedora 12 on my system and found that with default settings the desktop 3d is not working. so installed the kmod-nvidia using yum after following the instruction.i also edited the grub.conf file to rdblacklist=nouveau to blacklist nouveau drivers.
Then once i rebooted i found two kernels in grub ie the old one and the one with PAE extension. when i booted into the old kernel its Xwindows failed to load showing a black screen and when i tried the new PAE kernel it booted in 640 x 480 resolution. {earlier i was getting a resolution of 1440 x 900 on my 17" widescreen monitor}. it also showed that the nvidia drivers failed to load. I also read in some forums that the PAE kernels are for systems with 4gb+ of ram. So i thought it better to reinstall the whole thing. then i reinstalled the whole operating system using my fedora 12 dvd and performed the 'upgrade or replace the existing linux distribution'. interestingly now my older kernel has disappeared and the PAE kernel is the one that is remaining.
