[SOLVED] Build nvidia-173xx (173.14.31-7) for linux-ck-kx (3.4.1-2)

I need a bit of help here. For a few months I have been using the proprietary nvidia-173xx driver for my old NV34 / GeForce FX 5200 (I have a downgraded xorg-1.10 and a compatible nvidia-173xx-utils (173.14.31-1)).
I have four kernels, and I used to be able to build the nvidia-173xx module without problems for all four kernels.
However, after the recent upgrade from linux-ck-kx-3.3 to linux-ck-kx-3.4 I can no longer build the nvidia-173xx for this kernel (but it still builds fine for the three other kernels on my system).
Here is the error I receive:
$ makepkg -sfci

I don’t know what to make of this error ; I’ve looked in `/lib/modules/<kernel-versions…>…' but I don’t see any file named `Rules.make' in there…
Here are the files I use for building the modules (they are all slightly customized PKGBUILDs based on AUR/nvidia-173xx) :
core/linux               --> PKGBUILD  --> nvidia.install
core/linux-lts           --> PKGBUILD  --> nvidia.install
AUR/linux-lts-ck       --> PKGBUILD  --> nvidia.install
repo-ck/linux-ck-kx  --> PKGBUILD  --> nvidia.install
In this list, #1-3 still build without a hitch, only #4 throws the error I pasted above. Ideas? Thanks in advance!

Well nevermind, I don’t know what I was doing wrong before, but with yesterday’s update of nvidia-173xx (patch not longer required) and nvidia-173xx-utils in the AUR, I was able to upgrade to X.org-1.12, and I re-built the nvidia module for all my kernels. I now have a fully current arch system, yay !
In case this is useful to anyone, here are the slightly modified PKGBUILD and nvidia.install that I used (based on natrio’s package in the AUR)

Nvidia-173xx-173.14.17 on FX5200

So... I did a system upgrade yesterday and when I restarted xorg, I ended up with command line. xorg.0.log gives me something like "Make sure there is a nvidia compatible GPU on this system". Ended up downgrading to 173.14.12. Anyone having the same problem. As the title says I'm using FX 5200.

nvidia-173xx 173.14.17-2 and xorg-server 1.5.3-4 working okay here with a FX 5200 card.

[SOLVED] Mac OS X-like 'view' CLI command for Linux?

On the Mac, you can type 'view example.doc' to have OpenOffice open it, or 'view image.png' to have the image viewer open it, etc.
Is there something similar on Linux?
(I've searched but can't find anything.)

Damn that's slick. I've always stuck with Bash but I might have to reconsider (unless Bash 4 has this feature).
It does except without the "-s". :s By default, in your ~/.bashrc, it already has "alias ls='ls --color=auto'".
Read it again. These aren't ordinary aliases. I interpret chimeric as saying that in zsh the -s option allows you to associate file extensions with commands, not simple text replacement like your example.

Cannot Ctrl+Alt+F1 after nvidia-173xx update

I have recently discovered that I cannot switch into "terminal mode" with the latest nvidia-173xx drivers (nvidia-173xx-173.14.25-1 and nvidia-173-xx-utils-173.14.25-1). Whenever I do Ctrl+Alt+Fn, the screen goes black with no terminal prompt. Then the only thing to do is Ctrl+Alt+F8 (F8 instead of F7, as it used to be) to go back to the X11 session.
This happens also if I logout from KDE and select "Console login" from within the KDM menu: the screen just goes black (after flickering a bit): in this case the only solution is to wait for KDM to kick in and display the (GUI) login screen.
An other thing I discovered is that, when I shutdown/restart the computer and the X11 session is terminated, the screen goes back to terminal mode but the display (and all those messages about services going down) is dimmed down.
The temporary solution for me is to go back to the previous version: nvidia-173xx-173.14.22-4 and nvidia-173-xx-utils-173.14.22-4. Here everything is fine (going to console mode, screen during shutdown, etc.)

I wasn't able to find any relevant messages in Xorg.log. Another piece of information that may be relevant: the framebuffer resolution is set to "vga=773" in GRUB (which, I think, automatically disables KMS).
I'd rather be able to upgrade my nvidia driver in the future. Have anyone experienced the same problem? Is there any workaround it?
Thank you very much.
[Edit] I forgot: I am on i686, the monitor is an LCD widescreen and the nvidia card is an old one: FX 5200 [/Edit]

Hey, I can confirm this, albeit with a different driver.
I have upgraded nvidia drivers from 190.56 to 195.36 and I can't switch back into console once X is started. The boot output is printed correctly though.
There is also another issue: If I don't set vga= in the boot options, my boot output hangs at "Waiting for udev uevents to be processed [busy]" (see: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=92189).
.After a while X will start, even without vga= parameter.
The problem definitely doesn't exist with 190.56...
Maybe time for a bug report to NVIDIA?
Problem also stayed even if I exchanged vesafb for uvesafb.
Cheers
Bastian

Solved the problem is very simple - removing the nouveau. I have it was because I was in one blog/forum read that no problem with containing both nvidia and nouveau, but that one of them will be in Blacklist. But he interrupted me to upgrade. But the strangest thing - when I last updated, they do not conflict, but now whoop.
Thanks TigTex and wonder for your help!

[SOLVED] xorg update has broken nvidia-173xx driver

Hi,
I've been using arch for around 2 and a half months on 2 computers (a dell Inspiron 2200 and an old home built pc). So far I've been able to figure out most things myself. However, following today's xorg update x seems to be broken. My laptop, which does not use nvidia, seems to be fine. On the pc i installed the i686 version and am running kde 4.5.1
I have reinstalled nvidia-173xx and nvidia-173xx-utils, and run nvidia-xconfig but this has not helped any.
Although the installation is carried out there is an error stating:
ERROR: Module nvidia does not exist in /proc/modules In order to use the new nvidia driver, exit xserver and unload it manually
A google search on the above error didn't advance me any further, either.
I have also waited for today's kernel update but that hasn't seemed to fix things.
If I run "startkde" i get an error message stating that it can't connect to the x server.
"startx" says much the same only more verbose.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log has the following information :
dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_dvr.so undefined sym$
failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_dvr.so
unloadable module "nvidia"
failed to load module "nvidia" (loader failed, 7)
I've done a lot of esearch but can't find any solutions to my issue. The following thread seems to be related :
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103716
but i can't seem to find an answer there either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

ok, went to downgrade using
#pacman -U ...
but i have yet another error due to a conflict between files :
xorg-server: /usr/lib/xorg/protocol.txt is already present in the file system
xorg-server: /usr/share/man/Xserver.1.gz is already present on the file system
xorg-server; /usr/share/xkb/README.compiled is afready present in the file system
is it possible to safely force the installation?
sorry if thatś a lazy question but I've been looking at this for so long that i can't fathom the idea of futher searching.
EDIT: ok, i had a break and realised it'd be safer to simply rename and the delete the problematic files. The downgrade went fine. I have X back.
thanks for the help.

Error message when installing nvidia-173xx package

I get an error message when I try to install nvidia-173xx driver:
pacaur -S nvidia-173xx
:: Package(s) nvidia-173xx not found in repositories, trying AUR...
:: resolving dependencies...
cat: /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-3.15-ARCH/version: No such file or directory
:: no results found for linux
:: no results found for linux-headers
My kernel version: 3.16.1-1-ARCH
What can I do to install it correctly?

nvidia-173xx AUR page wrote:inux>=3.15.5
linux<3.16
linux-headers>=3.15.5 (make)
linux-headers<3.16 (make)
nvidia-173xx-utils
Looks like you can choose from :
-contact the maintainer to see if you can help with getting it to work with kernel 3.16
- downgrade the kernel
- switch to nouveau
Note that there are comments on the aur page that state nvidia-173xx doesn't work with xorg 1.16, so you may have to downgrade more then just the kernel.

[solved] building the kernel headers for custom kernels

well, ive been building several different kernels for my laptop, so that i can test stuff. but ive got a problem with the kernel headers.
ive mirrored the arch kernel's PKGBUILD and modified some naming to get a custom kernel. but when i try to build a custmo module, it complains the headers are broken. (example, vbox_build_module).
im pasting the pkgbuild here for future reference...if someone sees something thats plain wrong, please say so.
thanks

for anything that might be missing. The error message when compiling would give you more of a clue. Off-hand, you may need to add 'generated', as I recall I needed that when the kernel moved to 2.6.33.
Problem with vbox_build_module after Kernel update.
Would you care to elaborate for us less versed in "Linux Geek" skills?

[SOLVED] extra/nvidia 302.17 removed by nvidia?

There is no 302.17 directory on the url defined in PKGBUILD:
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/
and no x86 either.
Possibly related to http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthr … ?p=2564604
But if nvidia's statement "they haven't moved or been forgotten, they're just not up yet" is true, how does extra/nvidia-utils etc come?

Nvidia 5200 with nvidia-173xx drivers crash

I have an nvidia 5200 graphic card, using the nvidia-173xx driver, runed nvidia-xconfig (so it's a clean config), used kubuntu before, but ever since the new Xorg on arch my system crashes randomly, it crashed while running KDE & twm. Anyone got any clue ?

I got the same GFX, but I use only openbox and it has yet to crash for me?
Downgrade to the older xorg-server version, that should work for ya...

[SOLVED] building GCC and missing libgmp dependencies

hello!
i'm having trouble building GCC needed to compile sabermod-toolchains for building android. link: SaberMod. it's an awesome project and it would be great to make it build on arch.
the persistent error message is about the absensce of libgmp.la. it is not present in the core gmp 6.0.0-2 package, nor in any aur packages relating to gmp or libgmp.
i did locate the libgmp.la files in the libgmp-dev package from the ubuntu repo but have had no success installing it.
any help would be appreciated.
i'm new to arch and am glad to have joined the community!

Do all of those files exist on your sytemd? I'm not running testing nor systemd in my initrd, so I can't do much checking.

[Solved] how to patch source file from AUR for gcc46 ?

In a topic from yesterday, I was seeking help to get AUR package 'insight' installed, but so far no luck, since there seems to be a bug in the source that won't work with the gcc47 compiler. I'm posting this new topic, since the subject has changed a bit - I'm now trying to compile gcc46 because another user had success with that version in compiling the 'insight' package, and I need to patch the gcc46 source to get it to compile.
I'm looking for help to fix the problem myself, or if anyone wants to create a new PKGBUILD to handle the problem, that would be nice too
Originally, I thought I would try to install gcc42 from AUR and use that to run makepkg on the 'insight' app, since one user had success with this version of gcc. Both gcc42 and gcc46 give me the same errors with an 'unwind' file, and I couldn't get either to compile (errors about unwind.h or linux-unwind.h).
I found a post with a link to a patch (for gcc46), but I have no idea where to apply or how to apply this patch. I think I'm supposed to apply it to this file, but again, I'm not sure how to apply a patch:
/home/briphi/builds/gcc46/src/gcc-4.6.3/gcc/unwind-dw2.c
, but this c file has includes to other "unwind" header files. Here is a link to the unwind-dw2.c file at my dropbox folder, if anyone needs to see this file without downloading/compiling gcc46: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8169867/unwind-dw2.c
Sticking with gcc46 for the moment (since I found the patch for this version)...
The post with the link to the patch to gcc46 is here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p1229880
The patch at pastebin.com is here: http://pastebin.com/VkgE27Pd and looks like this:

The file(s) that need patching are mentioned in the patch, so you don't have to know yourself where they are.
patch files like these are usually applied from the directory where you build stuff.
On your system that is probably this folder : /home/briphi/builds/gcc46/src/gcc-4.6.3/
for details about the command used to apply the patch, t0m5k1's link above should help.
Thanks Lone_Wolf for the help. I'm suffering from information overload at the moment, so (@t0m5k1) even though I found the same results that you found through google, they weren't explicit enough.

Flex Builder for Linux will need his companion Thermo

I’ve been developing in Flex for a long time now. My
main work is in the design area although I do a lot of coding. The
Flex Builder Linux testing is being quite difficult, since the
layout design view is not enabled yet. So we need a lot of
imagination and a little bit of experience in AS3 and MXML tag
codding.
As a designer (and developer  ) I would like to ask
for a Thermo for Linux. It’s just a request, but I think
there are a lot of guys that share my opinion.
Thanks,

Hi, thanks for your answer.
It turned out the problem was related to the *standalone* flashplayer.
This is located in linux in:
FLEX_BUILDER_INSTALL_PREFIX/Player/linux
when I was clicking on the "Run" button Flex Builder was looking for a flashplayer standalone app, and was failing to find it.
What I had to do was to add the complete the flashplayer path to the PATH used by eclipse.
Now clicking on "Run" it compiles the application and launches the standalone player with the generated swf file.
Now I wonder if there is some way to select the flashplayer to launch, and if it is possible to configure eclipse to make it launch a browser or a custom script rather than execute that swf with the standalone player.
Thanks, regards.

[SOLVED]Gnome 3 | There is no application installed for _any file type

I just installed arch and gnome 3. I'm trying to open files via nautilus, but get "There is no application installed for ..." for any type of file I try, including plain text files, binaries, etc. Do I have to configure gnome manually for it to open these files? I've read the arch beginner wiki and the gnome wiki, but this problem is not mentioned there. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Solved
There were three things I needed to do to get this working correctly:
1. $ pacman -S gnome-mime-data
2. For text files, pacman -S gvim #This conflicts with vim, but the package gvim now contains vim (and vice versa, but nautilus won't open files unless gvim is installed instead of vim)
3. Binary files: I tried running some binaries I programmed on Ubuntu, but they wouldn't run until I recompiled them. Duh.
Note: I still have a small issue when opening a file that has no mime data associated with it. I can click "select application," but I am forced to choose from a very limited list, and there is no option to enter a command or browse for other programs.

........ I still need to install some packages, including libre office, a music player, an image viewer, etc. I'd like to get back much of the functionality that I had on Ubuntu, just with a little less bloat.
Cheers.
Regarding your music player, I recently had a struggle deciding which way to go.
Banshee, no, pulls in gnome and mono stuff (running as pure a Xfce desktop as I possibly can here). Exaile, have tried and really don't like it. Rhythmbox, again, too ingrained with gnome libraries for my liking. Amarok, unfortunately the love affair ended with 2.0. Clementine (read Amarok pre 2.0), yes please, but a gtk port would be nice, I have no other use for Qt. Songbird, yes please again, but no longer linux supported. Nightingale (read Songbird fork), seems to have lost momentum.
Of course, this is all just my personal opinion, but you can see the problem I had. There does not seem to be a 'large project' desktop agnostic music player/organiser for linux. They all seem to be deeply tied into Gnome or Kde.
My solution, if you want something lightweight, is MPD and Ario. MPD is just your background daemon that looks after managing your library/database, and Ario is a gtk 'frontend' that will let you search and sort your MPD database, and create the playlists to be played with MPD. The beauty of this system is that you do not need a music app to be running to play your music. Just the lightweight MPD daemon. Once a playlist has been loaded, you can close Ario and just let MPD do it's stuff.
I know Xfce has a panel app that lets you control MPD and even launch Ario to change playlists. I'm sure the other desktops will most likely have some sort of panel app too (I have even written a simple little python script that monitors MPD track changes and diplays a notification).
Anyway, just my thoughts on the issue. For more MPD info, see the wiki at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mpd
Cheers.
