For further details, please see the section INSTALLING THE NVIDIA DRIVER in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com. ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com. |
To install the NVIDIA graphics driver you must terminate your X-server first. Mostly this can be achieved by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 and then login as root and enter "init 3". Then you can start the installation. After installation you can start the gui again with "init 5". But this procedure can depend on your distribution.

That README...
Here is an easy link to the Nvidia driver README. Notice the requirements in Chapter2(kernel source, kernel headers, gcc, make). Installing the driver may be just different enough in your distribution than mine that you might google to consult a distribution specific forum if you have problems. http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree8...DME/index.html |
