[solved]First attempt at using patched kernel from AUR: kernel26-ice

Bysshe · 2010-01-27 17:33:26

Seemed to build and install fine. I booted to the kernel up to the command line because as expected, xorg failed without using nvidia-ice. When I did makepkg as user in the /nvidia-ice user subdirectory like I do with all packages from AUR, fakeroot seems to have failed due to permission denied on creating /src directory. I did look over all wikis related to custom kernels, but it's not exactly jumping out to me what I missed. Either this is something simple I missed, or this is a very simple fix I'm sure.

All I did was build and install the kernel26-ice, and then make new entries in menu.lst.

You don't need nvidia-ice. Just get the nvidia PKGBUILD from ABS and edit the pkgname to something like nvidia-custom and install it. It should work.
EDIT: Btw, what is the pwd of nvidia-ice build directory? Does it have write permission?

Hey, thanks for the reply, and I did a rookie stupid mistake. I did sudo tar. That gave it root only permissions when it unpacked. LOL. I'm stupid as usual. so I rm -r and did tar without sudo. Everything worked immediately after that. I will keep what you said in mind. Thanks again.

nvidia-ice is provided just to allow people to install the driver without messing around with PKGBUILDs

Yup I know, even I use that too.
