Trying to install Nividia driver
I downloaded a driver from Nividia: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.01-pkg1.run
I tried to run this: Code:
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.01-pkg1.run Quote:
but it said there was no such package. All I have is text mode now, and I don't know how to get a list of available packages for Apt, or which one I need. How do I add download.nvidia.com as a known host? Appreciate any help in installing this driver. Thanks. |
You are using Debian? I think Debian already has an nvidia / glx package in its repository. Maybe you will have better luck installing it w/ apt-get rather than downloading from the nvidia website. Just a thought.

BTW, you can search for Debian packages here: http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
There is no libc, but there is libc5 and libc6 |
Just install your matching linux-headers package.
I really recommend trying the Debian nvidia packages (unless you're video card is very new). *Make sure you have "non-free" in your "sources.list". *Run the following commands: $su #apt-get install build-essential module-assistant #m-a prepare #m-a auto-install nvidia #apt-get install nvidia-glx #modprobe nvidia *Run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" or edit "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" and replace nv (or vesa) with nvidia (section modules). |
apt-cache search some-text

you could also run
m-a update m-a prepare That will download everything necessary to build modules on your system. |
