installing Nvidia
well i found it and typed:
Code:
ls -a System/nVidiaXFree86Drivers Code:
NVIDIA GIX-1.0-4191.tar.gz : NVIDIA-KERNEL-1.0-4191-unified.tar.gz : NVIDIA_kernal-1.0-4191.tar.gz Code:
tar (child): NVIDIS_kernal-1.0-4191-unified.tar.gz: cannot open: No such file or directory |
NVIDIS_kernal-1.0-4191-unified.tar.gz: cannot open: No such file or directory
not NVIDIA? :-) |
did you try version 4349? they released a new driver
|
Yes i tried all of them any clues about what this is?
|
why don't you try the NVIDIA***.src.rpms?
|
I done it finally but it keeps saying cannot open file or directory whats wrong?
|
you have the same problem with the rpms like the gezipped tarballs?
are you in the right folder? |
whats this "gezipped tarballs"? im pretty sure im in the write file i tried it over 20 times.
|
NVIDIS_kernal-1.0-4191-unified.tar.gz is a gezipped tarball.
you should better try the .src.rpms like this: -goto the folder including your NVIDIA_kernel-***.src.rpm and the NVIDIA_GLX-***.src.rpm -in a root-shell write: rpmbuild --rebuild <SRPM>, were <SRPM> is your NVIDIA_kernel-**-.src.rpm and the NVIDIA_GLX-**-.src.rpm -after this locate NVIDIA_kernel-**.i386.rpm install your .i386.rpm's (located in the step below) with rpm -i <NVIDIA_*.i386.rpm> (were <NVIDIA_*.i386.rpm> is first the kernel and then the GLX rpm. |
This will require alot of thinking of understanding that you know hmmm but thatnks anyways. Is there a better way of explaining it?
|
consider trying the new nvidia drivers; 4193 instead of 4191.
4193 is presented by nvidia in a nice installer; it should allow installation without much user intervention. just click 'ok' a few times and you're set. after installation, edit your XF86Config(-4) file (in /etc/X11) and replace 'nv' with 'nvidia'. and comment 'dri' and uncomment 'glx'. (i hope that made sense). |
So what do we type instead inside the shell?
because i used everyone and didnt work :( |
