problems with NVIDIA driver and Mozilla
Hello again
I managed to solve most of my problems but two new ones appeared, the first one is that I cant install the nvivida drivers that i downloaded from nvidia.com, in the end of the installation it tells me that I don't have the kernel-source installed and I do have it (i recently recompiled the kernel to 2.6.7), I tried with the --path-to-kernel option and it trhows me the same error the second one is tha everytime I trie to type anithing in mozilla or firefox it freezes and I cant even kill the proces, I have to wait till it shuts down by itself, i tried reinstalleing with the same results, the only clue I have is that when I install or remove mozilla it complains something about perl that cant find locales, I recently fixed the locales stuf (thanks to macondos great guide) but it seems that perl didn't find out yet, and i can't reinstall it somebody help!!! |
I followed these instructions on my Sarge install and it worked wonderfully!

Why can't you reinstall Perl?
|
because if I do apt-get remove perl it wants to remove half of the apps I installed, and I dont feel like reinstalling all that
|
you need the kernel headers, not the kernel source
Code:
apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname -r) Code:
killall -9 mozilla-bin Code:
apt-get --reinstall install perl |
