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/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable... http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-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/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm

 

rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.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.

[llawwehttam]

[root@Fedora10-test hgs]# rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...ble.noarch.rpm

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

warning: /home/hgs/Download/kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686-180.22-1.fc10.1.i686.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID b1981b68

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

[kmount]

Np, someone did with no comment.

 

So that worked eh, interesting..

 

And how does yum update play? (any errors about keys missing or so?)

[llawwehttam]

nope it was just fine but mees thinking why did i change to FC10 when I had FC 8 working fine

so im downgrading

thanks for all the help anyway
