hello all,

when try install a package show's this error:

gedit has not been able to detect the character coding.
Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file.
Select a character coding from the menu and try again.

somebody can help me?

What package are you trying to install and why are you opening it with gedit? gedit is a text editor.

hello,

i try install Nvidia drivers :s , so i dont know why try open with a text editor ....

that would be the nvidia.run driver ????

first IS IT the correct one for your 3d card ???
second you install it by running the program
copy it to /
then give it a executable flag
and fallow the on screen instructions

when try install drivers in my CentOs 5.3 appear error of kernel , and don't understand attach log:

ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel f

-> No matching precompiled kernel interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp site;
this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for

Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your
kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems,
for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' RPM
installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed,
you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path'
command line option.

from the nvidia install instructions that you did not read
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree8...DME/index.html
you MUST have the kernel source installed
