Modprobe problem trying to install nvidia 173driver in arch
 
Is for my GeForce 6150 in arch last version installed successfully but when I trying to install the driver 173.14.37 I get this error
"The path to the modprode utility reported by /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe ; /sbin/modprobe differs from the path determined by nvidia-installer /usr/bin/modprobe. Please verify that /shin/modprobe works correctly and correct the path in /process/sys/kernel/modprobe if it doest work"
The things that I have tried was
# modprobe nvidia
And enter to the last path with nano and it says
/sbin/modprobe
And I don't know what to do ...help

What is the path to modprobe in your
Quote:

/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe
Mine is :
Quote:

/sbin/modprobe
which is correct as it should be ran exclusively by root.
How about symlinking /sbin/modprobe to /usr/bin/modprobe so the installer finds the command to execute?

Yes that solved that error but still can't install the driver in the beginning of the installation says skipping the run level check(the utility runlevel failed to run....
And I tried as root and it doesn't work

I suppose the script is looking for runlevel command in /usr/bin and not /sbin/runlevel, so the hint I have given you before should help.
If not, attach the sh file here.

Sorry man maby is a silly question but I don't wanna make a mistake where I have to go to change to usr bin
