"Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module" [SOLVED]

Hi, I've just done a fresh install of Arch64 and I'm having problems with NVIDIA driver from the repo.

xorg, xf86-input-evdev -- INSTALLED
nvidia, nvidia-utils, lib32-nvidia-utils -- INSTALLED (version 256.44-1)
nouveau -- NOT INSTALLED

here goes the log files:

Do you have any idea of what should be done to fix it? I don't want to use NVIDIA driver from their site neither nouveau, I want to use the one from the repo. If you know how to solve it, instead of only pointing the solution, also tell why this is happening, it will help me and other people with the same problem too! wink

If you need additional information please ask me.

Thanks!!

Re: "Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module" [SOLVED]

What nvidia card do you have?

There are three different drivers depending on which card you have

EDIT: They are nvidia (the one you installed), nvidia-96xx and nvidia-173xx

But it needs kernel26 >=2.6.34.
kernel26-lts is 2.6.32.17-2.

Edit: The driver from the nvidia's site is the same as in the repos.

Well, actually I'm using GRUB2 and this is is the first item that is shown on the menu, so I chose it.

Re: "Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module" [SOLVED]

Sorry, I didn't see that.

From what I can see you're doing all steps right. The only thing I can think of is the version difference. I'm assuming you've done system update using #pacman -Syu ?

LTS is long-term support, meaning it's somewhat more stable.
Try the other option from the grub menu and check what kernel version does it provide.

He has the current version of nvidia drivers.
I don't know what are lib32-nvidia-utils for, but let's first try using the regular kernel.

Re: "Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module" [SOLVED]

lol!!!

thank you karol, I tried the other option and the X server started (it just crashed), but at least now it's 50% solved. CTRL-ALT-F1 (or backspace) is not working by the way, I'll fix it.

Thank you again! smile

Re: "Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module" [SOLVED]

You may want to add

Section "ServerFlags"
     Option "AllowEmptyInput" "no"
EndSection

to your xorg.conf to get back you mouse + keyboard. Maybe that's why you couldn't CTRL-ALT-F1.

Also, what are lib32-nvidia-utils for?

I have a feeling you think I'm a noob and I don't know what I'm talking about. I thought it would be a good place to start.

Sorry for the spam.

Re: "Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module" [SOLVED]

You're all missing the point. although karol was close.

The nvidia binary driver is built against the mainline 2.6.34-ARCH kernel, not against the 2.6.32-lts kernel. If you can get both to talk to one another without major hackery, that's close to black magic - so good luck with that.

This is too easy, so I won't suggest the solution. You can connect the dots, and save yourself the humiliation - partially, at least wink.

Also, there's no way a) Arch installs the LTS kernel by default and b) GRUB has an entry for it without user intervention. I don't know who set up your system, but if it was you, then I have serious questions about your long-term memory.

I'm moving this to the only appropriate board there is.

You're all missing the point. although karol was close.

The nvidia binary driver is built against the mainline 2.6.34-ARCH kernel, not against the 2.6.32-lts kernel. If you can get both to talk to one another without major hackery, that's close to black magic - so good luck with that.

This is too easy, so I won't suggest the solution. You can connect the dots, and save yourself the humiliation - partially, at least wink.

Also, there's no way a) Arch installs the LTS kernel by default and b) GRUB has it as its first kernel. I don't know who set up your system, but if it was you, then I have serious questions about your long-term memory.

I'm moving this to the only appropriate board there is.

I know that the nvidia binary driver is built against the 2.6.34-ARCH kernel, not against the 2.6.32-lts kernel. I thought this is the end of the story.

ILoveJapaneseGirls, can you post 'uname -a' of the correct kernel?

Re: "Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module" [SOLVED]

karol, I'll try to add the section you wrote to the xorg.conf, but first I want to show the log of the crash:

As it's mentioned, it may be a problem of ACPI.

About the lib32-nvidia-utils, I just installed because it's written in the wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA#Installing: "Note: On 64 bit systems, For 32-bit programs to take advantage of nvidia-utils you must also install the equivalent lib32 package (for example lib32-nvidia-utils)."

For you and me maybe, but the OP seems eager to continue on the chosen path...

B, calm down buddy, I set up the system myself and I'm still learning. With GRUB the menu only shows two options: Arch Linux and Arch Linux Fallback; with GRUB2 it shows a lot of options, i just picked up the first one, which is kernel-lts. That's it. Now I know it's wrong, thank to karol. wink

Re: "Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module" [SOLVED]

ILoveJapaneseGirls, can you post 'uname -a' of the correct kernel?

Neither the fonts nor the ACPI warning is deadly. Most logs you'll see posted on the forums have those warnings ;P Errors is what matters, not warnings.
I asked what do you need lib32 for - if you use 32-bit apps, that's OK, but if you use 64-bit apps only, you don't need them.

Re: "Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module" [SOLVED]

So I wasn't too far off in suggesting the system update, since the whole problem WAS the version difference!

ILJG, I would install the correct kernel (kernel26 instead of kernel26-lts), and reboot (make sure GRUB gets updated, I'm not sure if it does automatically?)

Re: "Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module" [SOLVED]

karol, now I'm using the correct version:

### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###

So I don't know why these options are there, but they are! I just picked the first one, now I'm using the correct one. smile

Thanks!

Yes karol, it is, I could start it twice in a row, and that Section you suggested solved the problem of crashing.

By the way.. keyboard and mouse are working, I just don't know why this is showing up in Xorg log:

/var/log/Xorg.0.log

[    35.106] (II) LoadModule: "kbd"
[    35.107] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module kbd
[    35.107] (II) UnloadModule: "kbd"
[    35.107] (EE) Failed to load module "kbd" (module does not exist, 0)
[    35.107] (EE) No input driver matching `kbd'
[    35.107] (II) LoadModule: "mouse"
[    35.107] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module mouse
[    35.107] (II) UnloadModule: "mouse"
[    35.107] (EE) Failed to load module "mouse" (module does not exist, 0)
[    35.107] (EE) No input driver matching `mouse'

Do you have any idea?

Thank you very much!!

Do you have xf86-input-evdev, xf86-input-keyboard and xf86-input-mouse installed?
