Every time I try to run the installer, I get this error message:
"Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version default:v2:x86_64:lib::none:2.6.38.2:; make sure that the version is being correctly set by --iscurrentdistro"
Can do nothing with the PC. New install of 10.04 and was prompted to install Nvidia driver. Did so. Rebooted, now have nothing except a thin line at top of screen. How can I remove this driver when I see nothing?

After a disk crash I reinstalled openSuSE 11.2 and as always downloaded the latest Nvidia driver for my geforce 8200 graphics.
Unlike all previous cases, this time the driver does not install. The contents of /var/log/nvidia-installer.log are below. The error refers to being unable to to locate version.h
For those who need or want to install the latest ATI proprietary driver (Catalyst 11.2) right after a fresh 11.4 install - and might not look for solutions in the development subforum.In order to compile the module, I installed the kernel sources and the pattern devel_basis. I normally use most packages in this pattern, so I install it by default from other scripts. While running atiupgrade on a fresh install, I was surprised by the number of packages getting installed with that pattern.Please report if it doesn't work. (like aticonfig initial failed to add a fglrx section for some reason).Take a look at the atiupgrade thread in the development forum: Upgrading ATI driver with atiupgrade.
So ... right now I'm having an issue after I installed ATI Catalyst 10.8 for my GPU HD 5770.Every time I try to boot, it sends me to init3 (I mean text screen). But when I check and try to switch to init5, it tells me that I'm on init5 already.And I'm still stuck on the text screen. However, safemode is still working (yeah I'm on it right now - -").
I installed ATI driver by using this instuction --- openSUSE Lizards � ATI HD57xxx fglrx drivers under 11.3
I have a qzd netbook with opensuse 11.2 running but I cannot get the graphics working. I have tried "startx" and get the following:
xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.4650 X.Org X Server 1.6.5 Release Date: 2009-10-11 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: openSUSE SUSE LINUX
I've had a graphical card and I've downloaded the driver (from the official website of NVIDIA) with extension .run. As I forget the command line to install it, I would like to ask about it.
Installed 11.4 yesterday. No problems. Installed Gnome 3 today and it goes into fallback mode. Assuming that the graphics driver might be the culprit, I attempted to install the latest nvidia driver.
Added repo ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.4/ in Yast2.
Did a refresh and it complains that it cannot access installation media at the above. Paste the above in Firefox and it gets there OK.
One-click method also fails.
Never had a problem with updating nvidia driver before. Not sure what to check. I did delete and add with no success.
result of lspci is as follows:"VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] (rev 01)"
But when i try to install original ati driver i am unable to boot the system in gui mode (i use gnome) and also when i use aitconfig it says me there is no compatible device!
i am using Linux Fedora 12. I have the code i think i need, But i need the step by step instructions on how to do it. Any advice is a huge leap in the right direction. Btw, Im installing a logitech c525 Web cam.
I am using Ubuntu 10.4 and i cant get ATI's driver(10.4) to install. i tryed to run it in termonal but it stops and says i need to run this install as a super-user.
I am new to Linux/Ubuntu. I recently installed Ubuntu in dual boot with XP. I have an existing printer Canon MFC 4150 which works with XP. How can I get this printer to work in Ubuntu. Ubuntu does detect the printer, but cannot find the driver. Agter some googling, I found a driver for linux on canon asi site, but I dont know how to install the driver?
When I enter iwconfig it shows eth0 and l0, and says 'no wireless extensions' for both of them. I think I need to install a linux driver for the card, but it's a .git file. (found here: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging-next-2.6.git ). So how do I get the virtual ubuntu thing to recognize my card?
As we know , ATI video card driver is not available for Fedora 11 but available for Fedora 10. So , if I installed ATI video card driver successfully in Fedora 10 and upgraded Fedora 10 to Fedora 11 using the CD which comes from fedoraproject.org - the official site, should I install the Video Card Driver again?
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'm somewhat new to Fedora but not Linux in general. I went to install the nvidia driver as per any instructions I found on the internet that yielded results. I typed sudo yum install kmod-nvidia and eventually got a driver, blacklisted nouveau, restarted, and finally got compiz and all my desktop effects.
The problem was when I played Minecraft, which for those who don't know is a game, from a .jar file. After ~5 minutes of playing something happens and everything freezes. Video completely stops but I still have mouse control and sound(at least for anything already running). Clicking stuff does nothing and no hotkeys work to bring up anything at all. I end up having to do a reset by hand to get anything done. Turning off desktop effects didn't help.
Why is this? Did I install the wrong driver, even though kmod-nvidia should find the right one on it's own? nvidia 8800 GT is my card. Could it be the java program screwing things up royally? I can't remember if the program worked fine on it's own before the driver install, but uninstalling the driver now causes the game to fail on launch, which I guess makes sense but can't figure out if it's simply the lack of driver or if removing the driver screwed something else up. I might just reinstall fedora and start from scratch again, but before I did that I wanted to find out if I'm just installing the wrong driver and can simply find teh right one to fix all of this.
iam trying to install the ATI Driver at 11.2.After install an reboot 11.2 doesn`t start again,the screen goes black or commandlines shown. My Graphigcard is ATI(Sapphire X1650 Series)512MB Cardspace AGP.
Who can help me with this problem. Is 1 click install ok,try it and than problems.
I have tried install drivers of Ati ,9.10 and 9.11 always same result black screen, i think problem is information on installation system is on glibc 2.1 but, I have tested and glibc 2.3 and 2.2 are installed, for that the result is :
Unloading radeon module... Unloading drm module... [Message] Kernel Module : Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.
after installing 11.4 I can no longer boot into KDE using the ATI driver from their website. Same thing happened prior to 11.4 but I assumed it was an out of date driver so I updated SUSE + the driver, no difference. Boots straight to command line. I was getting errors about the Xorg.conf.old file unable to be overwritten when I tried 'Xorg -configure'. I did find a few solutions from other threads and simply deleting Xorg.conf allows me to boot into KDE using the default (whatever that is) graphics driver (fps is very low but it boots at least).
Any time I reinstalled the ATI driver/tried to use it it would die again. After a bit of searching around the log files for Xorg and X11 I found an error about "display not found" or something of that nature and then it was giving up and booting to cmd. had it working fine in the past prior to a software update (either driver or kernel or both, I don't remember) so I'm not entirely sure what broke it. I can give more specific error details once I get home in an hour or two but I'm just wondering if the latest ATI driver (11.2? I think it is) is compatible with openSUSE 11.4 and if anyone has a solution to this problem.
I am migrating to Ubuntu and so far I find it superior. But there are a few things that are a little difficult to grasp. The installation of a webcam driver is intricate. I've downloaded the driver ov511-1.65.tar.gz which is applicable to my old and faithful Creative webcam. From [URL] I got the OV511 Installation Instructions:
But I fail at the first step, to become root. This is what I get:
Code: coco@coco-desktop:~$ su Contrasea: su: Fallo de autenticacin coco@coco-desktop:~$
I tried several times and wrote the password I use to start the session, the only one I have. It doesn't help that you are blind to the results of typing, but I tried again and again. I can't be that wrong always.
I've tried linux many times in the past, and I'm always irritated to the point of formatting it, shredding the disk, and cursing it while enjoying my windows. Anyhow, (for some reason beyond me) I'm trying it again. Let me start off with the fact that I am very very irritated with how difficult this is becoming (why the hell can't nvidia just make a driver I can install without all of this crap?). OK, so I know how to cd to a directory, login as root. Any time I try to install the nvidia driver, it tells me I need to close X. I've tried going into the recovery terminal and it tells me this. I've also tried the command "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" and then it just takes me to a black screen.I can't do anything from there but push ctrl+alt+delete to restart.So,if anyone can give me simple steps that would be great. I don't want to learn how to use the OS, I just want to install this driver so I can read text and more than half of my monitor is displayed on,I'm on linux hardy heron 8.04
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 RC, and only basic graphics work.I have Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT. I cant enable desktop effects, nor can i watch video or anything else. Is there a way to install nvidia driver in RC? It looks and feels real nice i wish i can start using it right now.
I have a rather common problem - no ttys after nvidia driver install. So maybe it is possible to install nvidia drivers from the manufacturer's website using live cd? And if so, how to do that correctly?
