[64studio-devel] Upgrade to Lenny problem

[Jaromír Mikeš]

Hi Dave,

I have two troubles installing Nvidia legacy driver.

1)
install process ask me for gcc-4.1 even it is installed
install proccess recognise gcc-4.2 on my system and ask if want use this one

2)
I've chossed gcc-4.2 and installer ask me for kernel-source or kernel-devel package.
I am not sure which package it should be.


Cheers

mirami 

PS:Sorry I've answered in bad thread before... ;-)

<  Hi mirami,
<  
<  Are you sure the upgrade is complete?
<  # apt-get -f install
<  If it wants to remove packages, say no...
<  copy what is to be removed and post back.
<  
<  There is now a lenny-backports which would have made things
<  a bit more simple with qsynth.
<  
<  deb http://apt.64studio.com/backports lenny-backports main
<  
<  *  install the nvidia driver last....
<  You might have to remove the old driver first.
<  make sure your upgrade is fine first. "No Rush".
<  * You need the binary driver from nvidia. (legacy)
<  Take your time to make sure it's the right one.
<  You have to install the driver in a terminal
<  It's not hard.
<  
<  Logout:
<  [ctrl] + [alt] + [f1] login as root:
<  cd /to where your driver downloaded
<  You must stop Xorg and gnome.
<  Type:
<  # init 3
<  wait a second press [Enter] to get your prompt back.
<  # /etc/init.d/gdm stop
<  # sh NVIDIA [TAB] your packagename will complete [Enter]
<  If it "fails" because of gcc
<  # apt-get install gcc
<  If it fails libc6-dev
<  # apt-get install libc6-dev
<  This will remove kernel-headers
<  but it's ok it's not the multimedia-rt headers (check this).
<  # sh NVIDIA.run (your driver name)
<  It might ask you if you want to abort the installation, say "no"
<  This will build the module. note:   edit xorg.conf yourself...
<  # edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (change "nv" to "nvidia")
<  Restart:
<  
<  Cheers,
