Software :: Install A Vendor Provided Driver In Fedora 9 Kernel?
Sep 30, 2010
I am trying to install a vendor provided driver in Fedora 9 kernel 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.x86_64. Apparently the vendor stopped officially supporting Linux a number of years ago, so there were a few things I needed to change in the source code to get it to compile, now I'm trying to install it. Make runs successfully, but when I try to "make install" this happens:
Code:
# make install
Unloading any instances of foo module
Loading new foo into running kernel
insmod: error inserting 'foo.ko': -1 Operation not permitted
make: *** [install] Error 1
I've tried finding a solution via Google but it seems that the majority of people solved this problem using sudo, but I'm using su already and this still happens. I've also gone into make menuconfig and modules are enabled. I have access to the makefile and all the source code, so if something needs to be done there I can do it. If anyone has any ideas, please don't leave out any details; I'm a complete newbie when it comes to Linux
I am trying to build a jar file using a ant script provided by a vendor and while running the script, I am getting the below connection time out error when it tries to download a jar file.
Code: C:ccuapi-java>ant run Buildfile: build.xml get_libs: [get] Getting: http://download.java.net/maven/2/args4j/args4j/2.0.12/args4j-2.0.12.jar [get] To: C:ccuapi-javaargs4j-2.0.12args4j-2.0.12.jar
I need a way to find out what my dhcp vendor-class or vendor string is on a device. I want to take a client and based on the vendor string (if I can get what that string is) set up a pool for it.
i am using a alienware m17x QX9300 ATI 4870 CrossfireX 1920x1200p and till now was working fine with ultimate on it,now i don't know what happen ,before open the login screen is telling me that he has to start with low resolution,and after login sometimes is freezing.when i try to open display to set the resolution is giving me this: It appears that your graphics diver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead? and if i press yes is giving me this: There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux Edition. It could be caused by the following. No ATI graphics driver is installed, oor the ATI driver is not functioning properly. Please install the ATI driver appropriate for you ATI hardware, or configuer using aticonfig Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file - maybe there's some weirdness in it :
I'm using Slackware 13. I have HP LaserJet P1005 printer. I want to use it but there is not any driver file provided for Linux. I'm confused from where to start.
I'm attempting to install the driver for my atheros AR8131 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet adapter (in my Lenovo laptop) on my newly installed RHEL5 system (it's not currently being recognized).
I tried using: 'make install' but hit an error "Makefile:61: *** Linux kernel source not found."
After this, I tried: 'sudo yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers'
To rectify this, but hit this error "No package kernel-devel available" (and the same for the headers). What should I do?
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 am new for Linux, my job is developing USB device on fedora Linux.The USB device driver has been completed successfully.my question is:how can I apply a new vendor Id (VID) for fedora kernel, so that my latest driver will be updated automatically when the Linux kernel was updated.
This is for the Linksys AE1000. This may work for other USB wireless network adapters, but I don't know for sure. Here is the original information ( Ubuntu's Forums ) about a very similar card. It clarifies that you need the 'rt3572sta', and some modifications are required to the source from ralink's website to include your Vendor and Product Id. Then modify a few files, and away you go. Step 1) Retrieve your Vendor and Product Id. Easiest way is doing 'sudo tail -f /var/log/messages' and then plugging in your USB device.

I just updated to new 2.6.38-18 kernel and headers. Now the latest Ati 11.2 driver wont install completely and I cannot get any X. So I removed the ati drivers to use the opensuse drivers but kde wont start now (dont know what the issue is.. maybe someone can poitn me out the the correct log file to look for errors).. I am using gnome now. Anyone knows how to get ground this and install ati drivers.
I'm running Debian wheezy on a Toshiba NB505 and I've noticed that the wireless connectivity can be painfully slow at times. I know it's not our home network because my desktop flies (running Windows).Currently, I have the driver from this guide installed. I went to Realtek's site to download the latest driver for this wireless card (RTL8188CE, the Linux/UNIX version) thinking maybe this more up-to-date driver would operate better than the one used in the guide above.Is there a possible way to install this driver, or should I just stick with the current driver I'm using from the guide above?
I would like to install above mentioned driver. I need to prepare kernel for this instalation, but this information I didnt find on openSUSE pages. I add openSUSE 11.3 KDE
Here's what to do right after applying the latest kernel security patch (2.6.34.7-0.4) to get the ATI driver back to work. Do not reboot yet make sure the update installed the headers and sources for kernel 2.6.34.7-0.4: rpm -qa | grep 2.6.34.7-0.4 should print the files in red on a 64bit system:
I've been trying to install the latest driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-256.35.run. I do ctrl+alt+f1 and login, then sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-256.35.run and it gives me the license agreement, but after I accept and right after it gets to 100% it says it can't install the kernel or access or whatever. Has anyone done this installation and had the same problem but figured it out??
I am running Ubuntu 11.04 with a Dlink DGE-530T NIC. My browsing in Ubuntu on ALL browsers is horribly slow. It works perfectly fine on windows and other PCs on the LAN. So I know for sure my router and my internet line is fine.I figured it could be a problem with my NIC drivers and decided to install the drivers from the CD. (All this while it was running on the default drivers that ship with Ubuntu). I'm trying to install the sk98lin drivers and my understanding of the kernel so far is still very weak. When I try to run the install.sh script it gives me an error saying :
Code: Create tmp dir (/tmp/Sk98IknhDHEiLKnkWUSoYMTLi) [ OK ] Check user id (0) [ OK ] Check kernel version (2.6.38-8-generic) [ OK ] Check kernel symbol file (/proc/kallsyms) [ OK ] Check kernel type (SMP) [ OK ] Check number of CPUs (2)
[Code]...
But the installation script is still not able to find it. I tried searching a few threads on google but wasn't able to make too much sense of whats going on because of my lack of understanding of the linux kernel.
After upgrading kernel package to 2.6.32-5 NVIDIA installation gave me 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 obtaining ownership of the NVIDIA graphics device(s), or NVIDIA GPU installed in this system is not supported by this NVIDIA Linux graphics driver release.
I have Fedora 12 right now, and I've come to the conclusion that the ATI catalyst drivers version 9.11 aren't going to work at all on that system, so I was going to downgrade to fedora 10 and install 9.8 or so on it. But what I was wondering is if I install Fedora 10 and then upgrade the kernel will that make the ATI drivers not work? Do I need to turn automatic updates off?
I've built a new kernel (2.6.34) on our workstation at work. It boots and runs beautifully, but there is one minor problem. I created the kernel as a Debian package along with the kernel headers. Upon installing both and attempting to build the nVidia driver for said kernel, the installer tells me that it cannot determine the version and quits. This happens even if I manually specify the path to the headers. What's going on here, did I miss something during my compilation of the new kernel?
In order to configure a dual display in a fresh 11.4 installation, I am attempting to install the nVidia driver according to the instructions in SDB:NVIDIA the hard way - openSUSE. I have not previously compiled or configured a kernel so I largely followed the instructions from OpenSUSE 11.2 - How to compile a Kernel for Newbies.The currently installed kernel is 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop. The graphics card is an ASUS EN9600GSO (512MB).
In Yast, I installed gcc, make, kernel-devel (v. 2.6.37.1-1.2) and kernel-desktop-devel (v. 2.6.37.1-1.2). Per the "hard way" instructions, I did not install kernel-source.
I am fairly new to Linux. My machine is running Debian 5.0.5 with gcc version 4.3. When I try to install the Nvidia QuadroFX 3450 driver I got from the Nvidia web site I get an error saying: "The compiler used to compile the kernel (gcc 4.1) does not exactly match the current compiler (gcc 4.3)....." Does this mean my gcc version is too new for the driver? if so, how do I roll back to a older version?
I have installed the fedora 14, but there is no kernel source tree.I read the doc "building a custom kernel".But I don't want to rebuild a new kernel.I just want to install the source tree of current kernel.Could someone tell me the way?
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.
So after getting around the Fakeraid bug, and the grub bug, and all the other bugs killing my system fixed and then i moved on to install my video driver. There was nothing in Administration>Hardware Drivers, so i downloaded the latest driver for my two 8600m gt cards. Did the whole ctrl+alt+f2 and then stopping xserver and then running the driver install only to run into yet another damn bug(see log below)
I have tried fixing it by doing what other threads have said to do e.g:[URL] still nothing. Below is the Nvidia log.
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:
checking for module nvidia.ko [FAILED] nvidia.ko for kernel 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686.PAE was not found [WARNING] The nvidia driver will not be enabled until one is found [WARNING] Driver already disabled
