i tried installing the latest nvidia-bl-dkms from mactel ppa for karmic. getting the following error:Quote:E: nvidia-bl-dkms: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10
View 9 Repliesdkms is a facility which lets you to install drivers as module and it'll compatible with kernel upgrade.Driver will live as its source code in system,so after each kernel upgrade , driver module will recompile itself to work properly with new kernel.I read about dkms , but I have no experience to configure it by myself. I want to install nvidia driver using dkms,but I don't know how and where I can find source code of nvidia driver.

After I finish loading in low graphics mode I have to run "sudo nvidia-xconfig". Then, the next reboot the graphics card driver is loaded properly. Is anyone else experiencing this problem or have an idea how to correct it? I know it is a long shot, but do you think doing a fresh install of the stable release would work?

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I installed Kubuntu 10.10 on my mac mini 3,1. Everything worked smoothly until I ran the updater and installed the nVidia drivers (I was using an install DVD I burned back when I was doing the beta test. Under nVidia, a lot of text like menus and the like is showing up excessively tiny- like half to one third the size its supposed to. I suspect a problem related to my monitor, which is an LCD TV. This happens at all resolutions.
I can scale up the text in workspace appearance, but the amount of space for menus and icons doesn't change one bit and the larger text just gets chopped off. Anyone had this same problem? I'm really hesitant about going out and connecting a VGA monitor- I don't have an adapter on hand and I'd rather not go explaining to the Apple store that I'm having trouble with it on Linux.
Ironic thing is, text displayed as part of a web page in Firefox shows at the correct resolution. Edit: I got to looking in the nVidia controls, and it says my resolution is 49x50 DPI. That should be like 96x96 or so.
Problem summary:
Error - "Oh no! Something has gone wrong." and "A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again."
How to get back to original nouveau driver after failed nvidia driver install?
What probably happened was a wrong nVidia driver install from the repository.. Because never had any problems earlier, but after I installed some nVidia packages, I get this error.
I already tried to remove nvidia driver by
# aptitude purge nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-glx
It was successful.
Then I reinstalled Xorg Nouveau driver and all its denpendencies by
# aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
It was also successful.
But problem still occurs..
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?
After starting the Nvidia driver installer I get the error message "please exit x before installing". I read the manual page for X. From the console I typed X -terminate. I get the error message "Fatal server error" "Server is already active for display 0". how to exit from X.

About 6 months ago or so, I got a new 802.11ac card for my laptop:
$ lspci | grep Broadcom
07:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03)
This one uses the broadcom-sta-dkms binary driver in module wl. Everything was working fine until a few days ago. I booted up the laptop following a power failure and the network was acting very strange. Upon connection to the network, I had network access for a brief period, then it went away. Network manager claimed to still be connected. The access point thought I was connected as well. No packets were getting through. After many cycles of trial and error, I found that upon each network connection (different network, same network, didn't matter) I could ping the router for about 30 - 45 seconds.
After that, my pings went unanswered. Using wireshark in monitor/promiscuous mode, I found that I was indeed not seeing any replies and no machine on the network was responding to my ARP requests. Inspecting the ARP cache before and after, I see the mac address of the router as usual up until a couple of minutes after the pings stop coming back. I am also seeing wireless activity from other machines on the network, but I think it was only broadcast activity I was seeing. This behavior didn't change with signal strength either. I saw the same behavior when I was 3 feet from the router as when I was 50 feet from the router. Wireshark didn't show any other activity that looked out of place to me.
I did find a work around. If I purge the broadcom-sta-dkms package (apt-get purge broadcom*), reboot (haven't checked if unloading the wl module is sufficient), install the broadcom-sta-dkms package, and manually load the wl module, everything works as expected. I'm not sure why the driver won't survive the reboot. I have had to do this each time I boot my laptop for the last few days. I'm not sure what might have changed as before that power failure I think I had a couple of weeks uptime and I do updates at least weekly. I think I remember seeing an update to the kernel come through at one point recently. I tried reverting to the previous kernel version but that didn't seem to do the trick.
I'm on Debian Jessie.
when i start uubuntu it automatically goes to tty with out letting me login. then when i press startx it says:

right before this i had activated a nvidia graphics device
I can't figure out how to install the nvidia drivers for my nvidia 8800 GT video card. I've followed some other posts and all the posts seemed either incomplete, or led me down a path of which eventually broke my installation, that I needed to reinstall the entire ubuntu system.Again, it may not have been broken, i just didnt know how to get back in to the gui version of ubuntu, the instructions took me to the console terminal
1.) I've installed the ubuntu 10.10 64bit for i386 in an oracle virtualBox..
2.) downloaded from nvidia.com "NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.44.run"
3.) Stuck don't know what to do.
Only about 1.5 weeks into Linux guys so bear with me. I'm trying to uninstall the Nouveau driver and install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-71.86.14-pkg1.run for my old Nvidia TNT2 card. Following these directions I run into a problem in the first step. When I execute the Ctrl+Alt+F1 command and get:
Ubuntu 10.10 splat-desktop tty1 splat-desktop login: if I enter splat which I believe is my username and the correct p/w I get an incorrect login response.
My problem is that it won't load the dkms module and Virtualbox will not run.
