Hello, Did anyone successfully install the nVidia binary driver on RC2? I downloaded it from http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_190.42.html , which compiled, but the kernel module itself could not be loaded :-( Is there / will be there an nVidia repo, like there was one for 11.1? Bye, CzP
I just installed the 32bit version and its working just fine for me
I can't load it. I get in /var/log/nvidia-installer.log -> Kernel module compilation complete. ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko'. This happens most frequently when this kernel module was built against the wrong or improperly configured kernel sources, with a version of gcc that differs from the one used to build the target kernel, or if a driver such as rivafb/nvidiafb is present and prevents the NVIDIA kernel module from obtaining ownership of the NVIDIA graphics device(s), or NVIDIA GPU installed in this system is not supported by this NVIDIA Linux graphics driver release.
Please see the log entries 'Kernel module load error' and 'Kernel messages' at the end of the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for more information. -> Kernel module load error: insmod: error inserting './usr/src/nv/nvidia.ko': -1 Invalid module format -> Kernel messages: ... [ 116.801947] nvidia: no symbol version for module_layout [ 501.555459] nvidia: no symbol version for module_layout [ 661.289515] nvidia: no symbol version for module_layout
I installed kernel-source, made oldconfig and modules_prepare before running the installer.
This might be your problem. To install the driver manually all you have to do is install kernel-desktop, kernel-desktop-devel, kernel-source, and maybe kernel-headers (or whatever that one is) or if you are on a server than change desktop to server. By running make oldconfig and modules_prepare you might have changed something that affects the driver. I'd recommend just rerunning the installer without messing with the kernel. Cheers, Stephen PS.
