Nvidia driver - Debian way, custom (or not) kernel.
Re: Nvidia driver - Debian way, custom (or not) kernel.
Hi
I upgraded to testing by changing my sources from Lenny to Testing.
I have tried to install the nvidia driver with this How-To and it exits with problem at m-a prepare && m-a a-i nvidia. I do not know how to attach the log printout.
The nvidia-glx install removes xorg.

Re: Nvidia driver - Debian way, custom (or not) kernel.
you clearly are not familiar with Debian
look at what i posted. stable and testing ARE 173.14.09-5 0. Unstable is the 190 version.
lurch - what about the opening post do you not understand

Re: Nvidia driver - Debian way, custom (or not) kernel.
How right you are!
I am trying to get to grips with Debian perhaps I should have stuck with Lenny but "hey live dangerously2.
The only way to learn is try it and ask questions.
If somebody is good enough to answer and point you in the right direction then say thank you for sharing the knowledge.
I will try again.
thanks

Currently there is no nvidia-kernel-source candidate in Debian experimental
With only experimental repository in sources.list:

Yes, it's normally not difficult to fix XJob wrote:So I killed xserver. Any way to recover? dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org is not working .

Does X fail silently?
What error message do you see in /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
Since you're running testing, It's pretty safe to pull in the nvidia stuff from Sid. Probably safer than mixing it with stable..
If you need more help fixing X, please check the forum for one of many existing threads on X recovery.
Once you have a working X, try the nvidia build again.
I've always built a custom kernel, and then the matching nvidia. It always seems to work better

Re: Nvidia driver - Debian way, custom (or not) kernel.
I have tried this how to and several others on the internet and still getting no luck with the Nvidia driver. I'm about an average user with Linux, probably below average with Debian. I'm running Squeeze and have a 9800 GTX Nvidia board. Here is the error I'm getting. I've tried other things in other posts but still no luck

Re: Nvidia driver - Debian way, custom (or not) kernel.
Check the nvidia build log file located at /var/cache/modass
Are you building for a stock kernel?
What nvidia-kernel-source are you using?
173.14.09-5 won't build correctly against the 2.6.30 kernels
You can safely use the nvidia-kernel-source 190.53-2 from sid, and the matching nvidia-glx driver.
Add Sid non-free deb and deb-src to your /etc/apt/sources.list, but remove it later

Re: Nvidia driver - Debian way, custom (or not) kernel.
Excuse me since I'm new on this forum as I have switched from 'evil ubuntu' to debian and loved it really much
I used to do the following steps, either with stock or custom kernels in Ubuntu:
Install linux headers and other needed packages like xserver-xorg-dev etc.
Alt+F1
# /etc/init.d/gdm stop
./NVIDIA-xxx.pkg1.run
# /etc/init.d/gdm start
That's it!
Should I really make all these manipulations in order to install official Nvidia driver???
