Hello Is it correct that if I want to use Nvidia for compositing I have to make the drivers and kernel by source. Roelof --

Oke, I have downloaded the run file. Installed make and the kernel-sources but still this message : the kernel file '/usr/src/linux/include/linux.h" does not exist. What to do now ?

Do you have the kernel-source package installed? I think it might be in there.

No, it's in kernel-<your-flavor>-devel ie: kernel-desktop-devel I am not sure that kernel-sources is still necessary but haven't bothered to test :^). I believe the nvidia instructions need to be amended. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Actually, it's both kernel-devel and kernel-$flavor-devel.

kernel-devel has the files necessary for building modules. kernel-$flavor-devel has the per-flavor configuration and symbol information.

Thanks for the explanation. Does that also mean that kernel-sources is no longer required? -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Yes. If you run into something that actually requires kernel-source, please report it. It's a bug.

provide: rpm -qa |grep kernel

how are you invoking; NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.29.run

Close your X session then ctrl+alt+F1 and open a root console session do a init 3 to stop X go where you store the installer then just issue a sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.29.run if you have all necessary ( pattern kernel dev ) everything should work then after do a init 5 && exit Enjoy -- Bruno Friedmann (irc:tigerfoot) Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member User www.ioda.net/r/osu Blog www.ioda.net/r/blog fsfe fellowship www.fsfe.org GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 vcard : http://it.ioda-net.ch/ioda-net.vcf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
