This might help -> Installing Nvidia driver on Fedora-10 | iTech7.com

[kmount]

Have you enabled the correct repository to provide kmod-nvidia?

[llawwehttam]

which repo would that be???
plz

[kmount]

If you read Gatt's link it will talk you through adding the repository etc.

[llawwehttam]

i tried that
all i got was
[root@Fedora10-test hgs]# su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...release-stable... http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfr...nfree-release-... yum -y install kmod-nvidia'
-y: unknown option

[root@Fedora10-test hgs]# su -c 'yum -y install binutils'
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Package binutils-2.18.50.0.9-8.fc10.i386 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

then the driver still couldn't build the kernel

[kmount]

Lets break it down:

Run these one at a time and post back the outputs.

rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...ble.noarch.rpm

rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfr...ble.noarch.rpm

yum install kmod-nvidia

[llawwehttam]

once the driver opens in runlevel 3 it cannot download the kernel (temporary dns error) then when it attempts to build the kernel is says
error cannol build the nvidia kernel

funny thing is i did the exact same method on a centos machine yesterday and it was fine

[kmount]

Can you as I asked confirm what happened with those commands.

whats http_proxy set to?
# env | grep http_proxy

if its blank - type
# export http_proxy=<<your-proxy-iport>>

same for ftp_proxy

[llawwehttam]

proxy=http://10.121.128.30:80/

i tried down loading and installing kmod-nvidia manually but all i get is
[root@Fedora10-test /]# rpm -ivh /home/hgs/Download/kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686-180.22-1.fc10.1.i686.rpm

seems slightly more hopeful so will try installing common
yum cannot find tho

[llawwehttam]

tried manual install of kmod-nvidia-common but got

Can you as I asked confirm what happened with those commands.

Seeing as I earnt myself a block of negative rep for my post above asking you to answer my previous question I didn't reply again yesterday.

Nonetheless, I'm a nice person and want to get this going for you.

Forgetting yum for a second, does the following work:

wget "http://fuller.zen.co.uk/test/10MB_zero.bin"

If this fails, we have an issue with your proxy settings within Fedora which we can resolve which may in turn fix the problems with nvidia.

[llawwehttam]

yes it worked fine

and negative rep??? I didn't do that
