nvidia 169.09-1 is failure after kernel update

bruenig · 2008-02-11 22:20:57

I updated to kernel 2.6.24-2 and updated the nvidia packages that accompanied it and xserver did not like that. It will not start with the same nvidia config as before. I can get a half assed vesa config up (although for some reason can't get it to use my 1200x800 resolution). Any tips would be handy on dealing with this.

I downloaded the driver directly from NVidia and ran it.

Right well I used abs to repackage it locally and it didn't work (probably should have put that in my first post), that should be technically the same thing right?

I did the whole straight from nvidia stuff. It worked. That's good I guess. Kind of feel dirty now that I have files floating around in the filesystem that are unaccounted for. But whatever.

"It didn't work" is about as useful as saying "no dice" or "no luck". Show the *error message*. Assume we're not psychic

I have the same problems.
Using new xorg&nvidia gives them a crash.

Any help is appreciated!

Why do you have /usr/lib64/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1

I have (on x86_64):

$ pacman -Ql nvidia-utils | grep tls
nvidia-utils /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1
nvidia-utils /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.171.05

Thank you!

I think I messed my system with nvidia-packages from ArchLinux and their own installer.
Deleting /usr/lib64 completly (only nvidia things in there) and reinstalling nvidia* solved my problems.

Thank you very much!

cirkit · 2008-02-12 16:15:27

After deleting /usr/lib/ which only had nvidia in there, did you re-install the latest nvidia package from pacman or the binary installer script directly from nvidia? I'm having the same issues right now ... I'm not sure if deleting /usr/lib would have any affect on my since I've got an i686 install and not 64 install ... I guess I could downgrade the kernel / nvidia or just remove nvidia and install the nvidia.sh script instead.

I'd like to add a me to, I just can't get this nvidia and Kernel update to play nice.

Complains about not finding the module, and have to resorted to older kernel and nvidia. 64bit
fx5500
kernel26 2.6.23.14-1
Nvidia 100.14.19-6

The newer versions I just can't get to play nice, boots to tty X log can't find Nvidia module and modprobe can't either. Even with the vesa driver had corruption on screen.

Not sure where to look, or what info may help?

Hi cirkit,

I deleted /usr/lib64 and did a complete reinstall of nvidia using pacman.
Try to get rid of all nvida-things like symlinks of llibwfb.

cirkit · 2008-02-12 17:46:48

Alright, when I get home from work I will remove all nvidia files and re-install nvidia with the 2.6.24 kernel that is already installed. The only way I have of doing this really is through the fallback kernel image ... it's weird though because when I tried to install nvidia last night, it would ask me to exit out of an X server even though I was in the console. I'll try this again when I get home from work.

Did you try

/sbin/depmod -a

than see if modprobe complains
