Possibly stupid question re: nvidia driver install

Hi there. I was wondering... Is it possible to install the nvidia driver without compiling the kernel? I don't want to repartition my drive to give Arch the space it would need to do that, and even if I had the space I'd rather not have to waste time compiling.
As a side curiousity, if I do indeed need to rebuild the kernel, can anyone explain why I need to? It seems to me that if whoever compiled it in the first place included the sources they used, and if they made a copy available, it would avoid a lot of hassle. Am I wrong?
Thanks in advance.

OK - 4.) run the NVidia installer (say yes compile me one when it says it can't find any on nvidia's site)
OK - 5.) update XF86Config-4
OK - 6.) add nvidia to the modules like of rc.conf
Just wanted to debate. If you fetched the kernel source, you should have a look inside its readme. There is a strong warning not to link your source to linux. Instead, give your nvidia installer the option where to find the source.
nvinstaller --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux-2.6.4/
Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. Will not do that any more

Error message (GT8500- WindowsXP) "affichage defect" because NVIDIA driver (installed 340.52 updated), but 8500GT/PCIe/SSE2 3.3.0 required by Adobe Premiere 10 message ?? What is the problem ? Thank you for help.

Pourquoi ce message, car le driver de la carte Nvidia GT8500 est à jour !

fclau
There is a known major issue with Premiere Elements 10 on a computer that uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. The answer is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. You do not want an up to date driver in this case. For some computer operating systems like Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, this roll back fix is not possible because the video card/graphics card driver versions available do not go back far enough.
This matter has been written about extensively in this forum for over a year. And, there is an Announcement about this matter at the top of this forum.
Also see
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE10: NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
and
NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Advanced Search
which will help you identify the driver version and download/install it.
According to what you wrote and assuming that your Windows XP is SP3 32 bit, your NVIDIA drivers page should look like this after you plug in your data.
And based on history, your choice in the above should be GeForce 320.18 Driver 320.18 May 23, 2013.
Please review and consider. And, then let us know if we have interpreted your information correctly.

Nvidia driver install with pacman available

hi
you can find a nvidia package in tpowa repo
ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/tur/tpowa
now it is possible to add /update remove nvidia drivers with pacman
at the moment it works with kernel 2.6.5
not with the scsi kernel
i'll try to fix that
please test it and give feedback
thanks

hm if you update your kernel to 2.6.5-3
you have to update to gcc 3.4 too
the nvidia drivers have to be built with the same compiler that was used for the kernel
2.6.5-3 was built with gcc 3.4
--> nvidia driver has to be built with gcc 3.4
upgrade both packages and do
reboot for the new kernel and then X will not start due of failing nvidia module, login as root and run:
pacman -S nvidia
now you can start X and it should work :-)
so it worked for me

Having trouble getting the nvidia driver installed.

i'm trying to install the nvidia driver for a EVGA 8800 GTS. I ran pacman -S nvidia as the guide said but got this error:
error: could not prepare transaction
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
klibc-kdb: /lib/initcpio/hooks/keymap exists in filesystem
klibc-kdb: /lib/initcpio/install/keymap exists in filesystem
errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
sorry, i'm new to arch, so can anyone point me in the right direction?
thanks
xhhux

That is a known error (see this:http://www.archlinux.org/news/391/
The best way to get around it is to explicitly force the install of gpm then carry on with the update, i.e
pacman -Syf gpm
pacman -Syu
EDIT: You will most likely get a kernel upgrade while bringing your system in-sync with the repos, don't forget that you will need to reboot in order to use the new kernel.

[SOLVED] Problem with nvidia driver install/uninstall

A while ago I installed the 177.70 driver from nvidia's site, then I was trying to install the 177.80 and to remove the .70 first, I tried
sh NVIDIA-filename.177.70.run --uninstall
And the installer told me no nvidia driver was found. I haven't been able to install a newer driver since every time I tried X would give me a driver mismatch error on start-up. I am hesitant to manually remove any files, how would I fully get rid of 177.70 so I can install a newer one??
TIA

See script for the command you should be running:
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.11-pkg1.run -a -q -s -N --no-opengl-headers
Assuming you're on 32-bit. To let Nvidia's installer sort out your mess.

Possible Stupid Question on Aliases

We're on iMS/SunONE 5.2. What I've yet to figure out is how to do something so simple that I may be overlooking the obvious solution. This is to duplicate what /etc/aliases does in sendmail. I.E take an email address which does not match a particular existing user and deliver that message to the specifed recipient. There are two aspects of this which I need to address.
1) Delivery of inbound mail if account is local. For example... [email protected] to [email protected] I think I understand this as I just need to add an alternate address for bob.jones into the ldap. Not centralized but the concept makes sese.
2) Forwarding of inbound mail to other mail servers. For example [email protected] to [email protected].edu where our.listserv.edu is handled by a seperate mail server. In this case the /etc/aliases file sendmail uses makes this dirt simple. Unfortunately i've poured through the iMS docs and have yet to find how to do this. It may have to do with terminology as I'm not sure what iMS calls this type of proceedure. We have many of these (hundreds) and not having a centralized way of handling these would be very very difficult. What is the solution here?
Thanks,
-Patrick

Not a stupid question at all, I fought with the same concept coming from sendmail. The concept is that it's simple to redirect mail using the aliases file (/etc/mail/aliases) and it only took one line to do it.
Under iMS you need to expand your mind and accept that ldap is <insert deity> and everything is done differently.
Alias entries need to be adapted to one of -
individual accounts (mailalternateaddress)
or
a new ldap entry with it's forward settings going to your other addresses.
or
a mail list, for local one to many distributions.
This applies to direct ldap and dirsync mode, however if you're running in dirsync mode, ensure you run the dirsync after making changes.
Finally, if you create an aliases file in -
<msg-home>/config/aliases
and you are thorough on the addresses, they still work.
Just my experience, search for "aliases" in the forum.

Nvidia Driver install problem after new kernel

i recentyl updated my kernel to 2.4.22 and added bootsplash support.. that works perfectly and the kernel works good.. except i have to rei stgall the nvidia driver.. but it gives me an errror that it cannot find kernel header file sources.. i made the package in /usr/abs/kernels/kernel did makepkg.. it made it find and it has a pkg/src directory.. i copied the src of the kernel to /usr/src/linux so theres /usr/src/linux/2.4.22 but it still will not work and cannot make the module and load it.. still gives methat i tcannot find kernel header files... any help would be great
-bolero

well you should have the headers if you used makepkg to rebuild your kernel as part of the pacakge creates a /usr/src/linux directory that holds all necessary headers.
if you did not use makepkg to build you kernel then you obviously did not create a /usr/src/linux directory (you do this by untarring the kernel source in /usr/src than symlinking the untarred source directory (linux-2.4.22 in your case) to linux (ln -s linux-2.4.22 linux).

Windows 7 Won't Boot After Nvidia Driver Installed, MSI Gaming N770

Hi I just bought the MSI Gaming N770 2gb and after installing the nvidia drivers, Windows 7 will not boot after my motherboard POSTs.
I bought this to replace an AMD card. I uninstalled all the AMD drivers before putting in the MSI card. I've also run the Display Driver Uninstaller in Safe Mode and everything.
After a few hours of research, I finally came across a thread about flashing a vbios, and something about these cards not working with motherboards with UEFI bios.
I'm using a P8Z77-I Deluxe mini-itx board, with a Rosewill 630W psu.
I have both 6+2 PCI pins plugged into the two 8pin power ports on the GPU.
Is this an issue that can be fixed with turning off secure boot? or by flashing a vbios onto the card? Or is the card a dud? Or do I have to re-install Windows.
If the vbios is required, are there instructions on how to flash it? I have no idea how to flash a BIOS. Thank you!!

Had to update BIOS. All fixed!!!!

Nvidia driver installed, can't install intel driver

Hi,
I have a w520 laptop with nvidia optimus.
Before installing Linux, I disabled optimus and set graphics to discrete graphics in bios.
Now I want to install intel graphics too and use it from time to time and perhaps use optimus with bumblebee later. The problem is that I cannot install the intel driver.
When I run
pacman -Sy xf86-video-intel
pacman tries to install libgl package as a dependency which is in conflict with nvidia-utils and asks for removing it.
Any ideas what to do? I guess nvidia card will not work without this package. Is there any way to have both of them. (I am not shooting for optimus yet, I just want to make them work separately, the next step is to install bumblebee)

shayan wrote:The problem is lots of package are dependent on it ( including gnome3) and I cannot remove all of them.
nvidia-utils-bumblebee provides nvidia-utils, so you can remove nvidia-utils ignoring dependencies (read pacman's man page).

[Solved] Display manager failing after Nvidia driver install

I installed Nvidia-304xx drivers from the website due to which xorg stopped working. I fixed it by following the wiki by installing bumblebee and using intel graphics for screen.
However now when I boot I am getting an error saying "Oh no something has gone wrong. A problem has occoured and the system can't recover"
Please help.
Note: I am using 64 bit system

No display after nvidia driver install [SOLVED!]

Hi guys,
Just set up my first install of Arch and I'm loving it. Just I have one Problem; I installed the Nvidia drivers as per the wiki for my nvidia 6800gt, but after changing my driver from "nv" to "nvidia" I no longer get any visual feedback from x; "Sync out of range" is shown on my monitor.
When I try to run glxgears I get the following error:
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
glxgears: Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual.
The thing is, I load GLX and double buffer visual in my xorg.conf file.
I am using the 2.6.10 kernel on an Athlon 64, msi k8t neo board.
Thanks in Advance

Hey, by the way, for that 'glxgears' error you mentioned above, I forgot about this. Read the bottom part.
Could that be part of the problem? Are you using composite extension?
* Personally, I removed any instance of multiple "Device" listings (like 'VGA') in mine and modified the "Server Layout" Section, as shown below.
Here are relevant (Section) snipets from my 'xorg.conf', if it helps:
Section "Module"
# This loads the DBE extension module.
Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.

# Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection
# This loads the font modules

Nvidia driver install fails

Got a T61 with the Nvidia Quatro NVS 140M vidcard. I installed Kubuntu, everythig was uneventfull. I went to the hardware section and enabled the proprietary driver. It downloaded and installed and told me to reboot. After reboot, the operating system loads for awhile and then the screen goes blank. If I leave it, I can hear the sign-in music but the screen stays blanks. This is repeatable.
How do I fix this?

Heh. If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

I installed all the xorg and evilwm packagegs before i attempted to install video drivers so i think you might be onto something but ........
i did pacman -Rns on the first problematic pkg (packman -Rns ati-dri)...it returned ..error:failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
::xf86-video-ati: requires-dri
awesome thx for the help think i got it thx to my freind......
pacman -Rns xf86-vidieo-"driver"

Can't install nvidia driver on V580

Hello!
I try install nvidia driver on my V580a (Intel driver is already installed and all work fine) but after I install optimus drivers in device manager (win 7 x64) i see that (standard vga device). Then I try install nvidia drivers for my gt 645 but from nvidia site but he fails.
So how can I installl right driver so my discrete video card woud be recognized in device manager?
And must I install driver for GT 645M or I must install only optimus driver?
Thanks

Hi Alex,

NVIDIA graphic driver install

Aight. I've got an Acer Aspire 5738G, with a Nvidia GF G105M graphic card.
I have a fresh install of archlinux (cause the kernel upgrade was lethal, so i had to go from scratch).
Kernel is now 2.6.32.
I ve downloaded the Nvidia driver from their download section, and when i try to run the installer it says it cant find the kernel header in '/usr/src/linux-2.6.32-ARCH/include/linux/kernel.h' . Then i tried to find kernel.h with locate, and i found it in: '/usr/include/linux/kernel.h' .
I tried to run the installer one more time, with the --kernel-source-path option, but still the same: it says:
The kernel source path '/usr/include/linux/kernel.h' does not exist. eetc etc
What do i do?

wonder wrote:
the version that you are downloading is the same as the one from repo? you can try out nvidia-beta from aur.
i'm suggestion that rather than using your method betcause is better not to have files laying around that pacman doesn't have any clue about them.
like i side note, to build external modules you need kernel26-headers like is told in the last news from the front page.
Do you know how the nvidia driver (installed by nvidia installer) can be removed cleanly?

Nik
