[Solved]PLS HELP!! Nvidia module unable to load! Pls.!!!!!!

#1 Post by Arkhos »

Hi!

I am running squeeze on a PC 1386 and installed nvidia by using the packages in unstable. I was able to install nvidia and there was no error until the time I started X. The error is unable to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0).

I looked up the log for Xorg and it says Unloadable Module "nvidia".

I spent the entire 24 hours to fix it because this is my office computer and I practically done all the stuff found in the forums. I already did nvidia-xconfig to no avail. I even edited xorg.conf manually and still it was not up.

I have some suspects however which are:

1. Different versions between kernel and nvidia (but since I did it the debian way then I should not have any problems).

2. Nvidia-glx is unusable in Squeeze, so does it mean I go for the unstable distro?

3. Or I miss something crucial on how I installed it?

By the way, I installed Nvidia because I am using a SAMSUNG 21' LED monitor.

Pls. I am begging you all to pls. help me. I need my system up and running this coming Monday for work. Pls. help.

Thanks alot.

You can delete the file generated by the nvidia-xconfig.

Code: Select all

rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
This should restore the default driver until you can get the nvidia driver working.
Although you can make another xorg.conf file again easily with nvidia-xconfig, you may wish to make a backup of this file so as to keep your edits and post here.

I need my system up and running this coming Monday for work
A little bit too late....... :roll:
I am running squeeze on a PC 1386 and installed nvidia by using the packages in unstable
Why...?

Remove everything related to nvidia...

First :

Code: Select all

apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Go to : http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.as ... diag=en-us
and download your driver.....

As root :

Code: Select all

chmod +x NVIDIA*.run
Then :

Code: Select all

Ctrl-Alt-F1
Stop X

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/gdm stop
or

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/gdm3 stop
Run

Code: Select all

./NVIDIA*.run
Follow the installation process.

Make sure you tell the installer to automatically modify your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file so you’ll end up using the NVIDIA drivers.
Your xorg.conf should contain :

Code: Select all

Section "Device"
        Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
EndSection
And restart the graphical login manager, which will bring back X :

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/gdm(3) start

Thanks for the help guys especially to Eric.

Eric, your steps are very clear. Thanks truly.

By the way, Eric you are right that I am too late and Monday is really near. With regard to unstable, I was stupid.. really stupid.

Anyway, after a quick breakfast with eyes ready shutdown, I commence again in fixing my system. I practically was able to solve it by simply removing all the nvidia module & apps I installed and reinstalled my xorg and gdm while getting a fresh copy of libXrandr2 (in order to solve the invalid ELF Header error). After doing it all, I rebooted and luckily I got my desktop back.

Next, I check my sourcelist and remove backports & unstable and fix main and non-free sources and run aptitude for update and upgrade. So far, gnome is holding up. I am still shaky and a bit afraid because I don't know how stable my setup is especially that on Monday I will be running our apps for some critical task.

Anyway, looking around I found a nvidia-graphics driver in squeeze non-free. In this case, I am wondering if this binary package safe to install? or should I stick with my present system that is working?

By the way, what sourcelist should I use for your guide? squeezy main and non-free?

Truly thanks for the help Guys and I would definitely try to get nvidia working again cuz I am using NVIDIA GFORCE 6000 as my Video Card and I want a driver for it.

Thanks again.

For a workstation, just run Debian Stable, specially if, as you say, you need to run it for some critical task. Don't worry: Gnome will hold up like a champion with gdm 2.20.11-4 and xorg 1:7.5+8. Nothing to do with luck. :wink:

What driver is that and how do you propose to install it? Some users may prefer using the nvidia-installer but please read the information here.
It is also perfectly safe to install the Nvidia driver using the Debian way and, remember, that if X fails to fire up, you can always revert to the default driver by doing:

Code: Select all

rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Looks to me as if your problems might have arisen from mixing repositories.
If you decide to use the Debian way, you might like to post the file resulting from nvidia-xconfig here.

Unless you have a very new card the nvidia drivers in squeeze will work just fine.
If you've cleaned up all the prior nvidia stuff (or if you didn't install anything the nvidia way in the first place) this becomes real easy.

make sure you have the proper kernel headers

add contrib and non-free to sources.list
then, as root (doesn't matter if X is running or not).

Code: Select all

aptitude update
aptitude -r install nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-settings
If needed edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Code: Select all

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Default Device"
	Driver		"nvidia"
EndSection
Start/restart X
that should do it.

Note that the drivers in squeeze are the same version as the ones in unstable. If you need/want newer you need to get them from experimental (they work fine, those are the ones I'm running).

To kedaha:

I am now running my critical apps and so far so good. By the way, when I checked my system if it can detect my Samsung LED it says unknown monitor this system message came out after I deleted all the nvidia apps and modules and reinstalled xorg and gdm. Is this okey? By the way, thanks for giving me faith on Debian and its system (I am now confident with it). This is my first LINUX distro. :)

To Bugsbunny:

I will try it out after I am done with my job. Maybe late in the evening or early morning when the system is not in use.

Thanks and I will keep you all guys posted when I make the NVIDIA module run and by that time I will put close on the thread which I hope would also help other users like me.

Thanks again!

With regard to the "unknown monitor" system message, I'm not sure but try installing read-edid using synaptic where you can find more info about it.
Hope you mean boosting your faith on Debian! You persuaded them at the office to change to Debian? Your first Linux distro? Mine too since I see no reason to use any other.

Yea, I mean boosting.. Sorry for the typo. :)

On my office, I was able to convince my peers that for mission-critical stuff we go for Debian. It was a good decision. No regrets. And for Linux, yes this is my first serious distro. I used to try redhat when in school but after one week I actually said goodbye to it cause I never got the hang for it. Shifted to Windows but it was pretty bad and decided to try Linux again but this time I did a research and decided on Debian. :)

I will give read-edid a go after I do a NVIDIA install. My system is still in use.. hehehehe.. can't do install now.

Thanks again!

Bugsbunny, the above method broke my Xorg. It was not able to load the nvidia module plus when I tried to install the nvidia kernel and settings aptitude said that nvidia-glx which was not installed has a broken dependency of xorg-video-abi-6.0 which I don't have or I use xorg.1.7 but I have the latest xorg.1.9.

After the breakage, I purge again nvidia and I recovered my desktop.

Any suggestions?

Thanks again!

Where did you get xorg 1.9 from? That's definitely not a package from squeeze. That's not even in wheezy yet, although it is in unstable (where it just recently showed up). Not even the current experimental drivers work on that xserve-xorg-core yet.


See the problem is that you're not running squeeze, as opposed to what you first stated. If you had said you were running xorg 1.9 the advice would have been different (starting with why are you doing that?)

See #612956 - Unmatched dependencies for nvidia-glx, xserver-xorg-core too new - Debian Bug report logs for the current status (basically you need to wait a while).

It's also possible that you inadvertently installed the newer xorg when you had unstable in your repos earlier. The question then becomes what else did you inadvertently install from unstable.

I think I installed the newer Xorg while I had the unstable repos. I did not intend to do it. Anyway, can I revert to the old one? or any remedy for this? aside from waiting? With regard to other apps, I don't know what I "inadvertently" installed. Is there a way to fix this? Hmm.. I guess I busted my VLC in the process because I can no longer see an image but just hear audio maybe something with upgrades but I am not sure if it was cuz by my using the unstable repository.

I know this sounds crazy but I am really looking forward to fix this cuz it gives me more training in handling my system.

And, I am now definitely open to suggestions.

Thanks.

What makes it a bit problematic to offer advice is that your system is now mixed stable/unstable.
Just in case, I trust you have backed up your files to a pendrive or somewhere.
IMO remove the unstable packages first and then to reinstall squeeze xorg 1:7.5+8.
After that, attempt to install nvidia. Do you wish to try the Debian way or use the nvidia-installer?

OK, if you've removed the unstable repository from sources then:
1) install apt-show-versions

Code: Select all

# aptitude install apt-show-versions
(the # is not part of the command string, but indicates that the command should be run as root))

2) Run the following and post the results:

Code: Select all

apt-show-versions|egrep "unknown|""No available"""
That should show us anything that was installed from unstable, along with the current version number.

To kedaha:

I can do reformat but I am very hopeful not to do it cuz I really want to fix my system up to its last potential. I still believe that the Debian system can withstand some bashing along the way. :)

By the way, I prefer the Debian way!

Hmm.. on your end, do you still believe that my system can be fixed?

You also have a bunch of lenny stuff in there. If you don't have deborphan installed then install it. What's the output of the following 2 commands:

Code: Select all

deborphan
aptitude search ~o
(that's a tilde and lowercase oh)

Also where did these packages come from:
libglobalmenu-gnome
libgnomenu0-2

They're not in lenny or squeeze.

Create /etc/apt/preferences with the following content.

Code: Select all

Package: *
Pin: release a=stable,o=Debian
Pin-Priority: 1005
What's the output of:

Code: Select all

aptitude install ~i~nxorg -s
(You can run that as a normal user, it's a simulation run)
