Requirements
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) framework has to be installed
|
|
before the nvidia RPM installation, because the RPM scripts use it for
|
|
proper setup::
|
|
|
|
# yum install dkms.noarch
|
|
|
|
|
|
Procedure
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Check what graphic card is in your computer and what driver is
|
|
installed::
|
|
|
|
# lspci
|
|
...
|
|
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72 [GeForce 7300 LE] (rev a1)
|
|
|
|
# less /etc/X11/xorg.conf
|
|
(See the output below at "before nvidia installation".)
|
|
|
|
# rpm -qa | grep nvid
|
|
(nothing found)
|
|
|
|
Before beginning with the installation of the new graphics driver,
|
|
make a backup of your current `xorg.conf`::
|
|
|
|
# cd /etc/X11/
|
|
# cp xorg.conf xorg.conf_bak
|
|
|
|
Check whether some nvidia driver is available::
|
|
|
|
# [root@pc7377 X11]# yum list | grep nvidia
|
|
nvidia-x11-drv.i386 100.14.19-3.9.slp5 sl51psi
|
|
|
|
# [root@pc7377 X11]# yum install nvidia-x11-drv.i386

Problem With Automatic Nvidia Driver Update On SL51 i386
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Problem Description
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
On some systems the automatic nvidia driver update by dkms fails.
|
|
Somehow when the new RPM `nvidia-x11-drv-169.12-4.9.slp5` is installed
|
|
by yum or rpm, the old nvidia version `100.14.19-3.9.slp5` remains in
|
|
dkms status `added`, i.e. the respective directory remains in the dkms
|
|
tree, while the original driver sources are removed from `/usr/src/`,
|
|
i.e. the RPM `nvidia-x11-drv-100.14.19-3.9.slp5` was removed.
|
|
|
|
During reboot the service `dkms_autoinstaller` (see `chkconfig
|
|
--list`) obviously tries to build the old `100.14.19-3.9.slp5` as well
|
|
because it tries to get the file
|
|
`/var/lib/dkms/nvidia/100.14.19-3.9.slp5/source/dkms.conf`. This,
|
|
however, fails because the `.../scource` is a symbolic link pointing
|
|
to the source directory that was removed during the nvidia RPM update
|
|
as mentioned before::
|
|
|
|
"source -> /usr/src/nvidia-100.14.19-3.9.slp5"
|
|
|
|
Though, this basically would not be a problem if dkms was not confused
|
|
by the occurences of several nvidia versions in its tree under
|
|
`/var/lib/dkms/nvidia/`.
|
|
|
|
The main questions are:
|
|
|
|
- Why does the update procedure only partially clean the installation
|
|
environment (under `/usr/src/` it is clean, under
|
|
`/var/lib/dkms/nvidia/` it is not)?
|
|
|
|
- Why does dkms not properly recognize the new nvidia version only but
|
|
also tries to build modules out of the sources of the older version?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Solution
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The problem appears if the nvidia driver RPM is installed or updated
|
|
before the dkms framework is ready on the system, because the RPM
|
|
scripts invoke a variety of `dkms` commands to install the new driver
|
|
into the dkms tree and to remove the old driver version from it. Thus,
|
|
one has to install the dkms RPM first, before doing any driver
|
|
installation or updates.
|
|
|
|

When the new nvidia RPM was installed the old stuff was not cleaned up
|
|
properly, the old module sources remained in the dkms tree under
|
|
`/var/lib/dkms/nvidia/` and has to be removed manually::
|
|
|
|
[root@pc7377 etc]# dkms status -m nvidia
