Installing NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.20.run complains that the kernel was compiled with gcc47 but system has gcc48, which it does, 4.8-2.1.2.

How can I install the nVidia driver in this environment?

Based on the help of the .run file: did you try to pass the parameter --no-cc-version-check ?

Sorry for not being more descriptive. The run menu offers continuing the install after noting the cc-version difference, and the install completes. But the only resolution provided is default, 1280x1024, on my 1920x1200 monitor. no xorg.conf glxinfo reports: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".

Hello. Use nvidia-xconfig as usually ;)

I have no xorg-conf and have not for several years, but:

nvidia-xconfig:

WARNING: Unable to locate/open X configuration file.

Package xorg-server was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xorg-server.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'xorg-server' found New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'

I do not have xorg-server on disk:

locate xorg-server

None are found.

These were on previous 12.3 /etc/rpm/macros.xorg-server /usr/include/xorg/xorg-server.h /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/xorg-server.pc /usr/share/aclocal/xorg-server.m4

but no more.

Uhm, how about no?

OSS 12.3 here, normal op, no extra dev packages, and "locate xorg-server" gives back nothing.

A "pin xorg-server.pc" gives: ./suse/x86_64/xorg-x11-server-sdk-7.6_1.13.2-1.2.1.x86_64.rpm: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 677 Feb 21 10:07 /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/xorg-server.pc

so: either you've had the xorg-x11-server-sdk package installed, or something irregular happened.

tks, probably had sdk but uninstalled when finished building whatever required it. :^) -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Use --no-cc-check command line option to the nvidia installer. I did and the installer completed but the driver is not working. I have 1280x1024 display on a 1920x1200 monitor and no glx :^(.

tks There is one other possible error you may run into where you would also need to use "--no-unified-memory". I am using 3.12.0 # cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 331.20 Wed Oct 30 17:43:35 PDT 2013 GCC version: gcc version 4.8.1 20130909 [gcc-4_8-branch revision 202388] (SUSE Linux) Regards Sid.

tks, yes I have had to use "--no-unified-memory" with 331.20 and mentioned in another post in this thread.

18:48 Crash: ~ > cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 331.20 Wed Oct 30 17:43:35 PDT 2013 GCC version: gcc version 4.8.1 20130909 [gcc-4_8-branch revision 202388] (SUSE Linux)

kernel-desktop-3.12.0-34.2.ge8fa6b4.x86_64

installer complaint:

The compiler used to compile the kernel (gcc 4.7) does not exactly match the current compiler (gcc 4.8). The Linux 2.6 kernel module loader rejects kernel modules built with a version of gcc that does not exactly match that of the compiler used to build the running kernel. If you know what you are doing and want to ignore the gcc version check, select "No" to continue installation. Otherwise, select "Yes" to abort installation, set the CC environment variable to the name of the compiler used to compile your kernel, and restart installation. Abort now? (Answer: No)

but my display has no glx and will only open 1280x1024 on a 1920x1200 monitor.

tks, --no-cc-version-check has always worked in the past. My usual procedure:- sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.20.run --extract-only cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.20 ./nvidia-installer <options>

When I upgrade to a new kernel and zypper dup has not overwritten /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/libglx.so, I "cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.20/kernel" and "make -j 8 install" rather than installing the whole package again.

* Patrick Shanahan [11-19-13 19:50]: Thru no fault of my own :^), the situation has resolved itself. I believe it was related to a perl package that had dependency problems related to libmal-perl. After removing the package, yast and perl and a few other packages updated/installed. I dropped to runlevel 3 and back to 5 and the prompt showed that the nvidia driver was indeed working.
