Unable to load driver: nouveau_dri.so

Dear Experts,

I'm using Redhat 6.4.

uname -a
Linux black.testrac.com 2.6.32-358.11.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 11 10:24:58 PDT 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

NVIDIA Quadro FX580

I've installed gephi, gephi-0.8.2-beta.tar.gz

Gephi starts, but with an error.

cd /gephi/gephi/bin

----

Then, after starting on Redhat, the graph software, gephi, has no graph window!!!!

(However, on the same server, using gephi on Windows 7 or Suse (as root), I can see the graph window.)

On Redhat, in gephi, I go

Menu
Window
Graph

But there is nothing!
This is bizarre!

------------

I sense that it is this video/radeon/nouveau issue that is
the cause of the problem. Or related to the culprit.

More analysis follows.

Any ideas on how to start gephi,
not get the error,
and get the graph window?

Thanks a lot!

Hi, lsmod is showing a module loaded for the ati radeon graphics chip onboard.

If you don't use it, blacklist the radeon module ...

may be different on RH.

Code:

glenn@GamesBox:~ » locate blacklist | grep '/etc'                                                                                      (30-06 11:30)
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-compat.conf
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-mga.conf

/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-mga.conf

Code:

# blacklisted modules for PCI coldplug
# see also /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-compat

blacklist rivatv

# For some bridges both intel-agp and i82875p_edac are loaded. If i82875p_edac
# is loaded first it will grab the device. Then intel-agp doesn't work.
# Therefore we disable automatic loading of 82875p_edac. (Bug 213840)
# https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=213840
blacklist i82875p_edac

# do not use "Boot Protocol" drivers, we prefer usbhid
# and they cause problems when loaded together with usbhid (#37726, #40861)
blacklist usbkbd
blacklist usbmouse

# disable PC speaker by default
# pcspkr is the standard driver, while snd-pcsp is the ALSA driver
blacklist pcspkr
blacklist snd-pcsp
blacklist nouveau
blacklist snd_hda_codec_hdmi  #hda-nvidia-digital-stereo
blacklist snd_hda_codec_realtek #hda onboard 5.1 surround
blacklist snd_hda_intel
blacklist snd_hda_codec

you see I've had to add a few myself.

The dri package is mentioned , check you have it installed.

hope this helps, Glenn

Hello,

Thanks so much for responding!

I was doing more research.

There are lots of drivers in /usr/lib64/dri.

ls -l /usr/lib64/dri
total 24608

-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 381736 Jun 3 13:22 i915_dri.so
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 841752 Jun 3 13:22 i965_dri.so
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 3603024 Dec 20 2012 mga_dri.so
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 3484592 Dec 20 2012 r128_dri.so
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 349608 Jun 3 13:22 r200_dri.so
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 4593648 Jun 3 13:22 r300_dri.so
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 4563888 Jun 3 13:22 r600_dri.so
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 314216 Jun 3 13:22 radeon_dri.so

-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 3484888 Dec 20 2012 unichrome_dri.so

But not:
/usr/lib64/dri/nouveau_dri.so

Go figure.

-----

Interestingly, I noticed that niviafb and radeonfb are already blacklisted.

pwd
/etc/modprobe.d

cat blacklist.conf
...
blacklist radeonfb

...

blacklist nvidiafb

rpm -qa | grep -i "nvidia"
- nothing

rpm -qa | grep -i "radeon"
- nothing

Do you think that these need to be removed from the file, blacklist.conf?

Thanks a lot!

adamk75 · 07-02-2013, 05:19 PM

More than likely, the version of mesa that Redhat 6.4 ships with is too old to support nouveau.

GlennsPref · 07-03-2013, 12:07 AM

the modules...

Quote:

cat blacklist.conf
...
blacklist radeonfb

...

blacklist nvidiafb

nvidiafb is not equal to nvidia (2 char diff), same with the radeon modules

Generally, the modules nvidia and radeon refer to the proprietary hardware manufacturers drivers.

The opensource nvidia driver module is nouveau.

Try and add to the blacklist as described earlier.
