I followed the instructions from this thread on installing Nvidia drivers. Everything seemed to work fine, untill..
Hit OK. Continue anyway? (what to do..) Yes. Complete, succes, driver installed. Reboot. No X. Prompt. So 'xorgwizard'. then 'xwin'. Which won't run. Just the message 'exited from x, config files in... etc.' Any clues what went wrong, what to do to fix it? Edit: I should perhaps mention that the first time I exited to prompt to install the driver and ran the command
and was told I had no permission. I the permissions to make excecutable/searchable. Then it did run. Perhaps this had an influence somehow. Last edited by kalisti on Thu 12 May 2011, 15:33; edited 1 time in total |

-q is an invalid option What ran depmod? I think you could just run depmod -a on the command line. ~ _________________ New! Puppy Linux Links Page |

The installer ran depmod. It happened during the installation process. It did not appear to me I had any say in it, except to hit ok. You mean to run depmod -a on the commandline after the installation, before starting x? NB. it seems the installer has deleted the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.16-pkg1.run file from /root after I went through the installation. I can download it again of course, but I had the impression it would stay there. |

I'd try running it on the command line, first. If your depmod is a BusyBox depmod, the -aq wouldn't work. See what it is by typing depmod --help ~ _________________ New! Puppy Linux Links Page |

That worked! BTW, there is no help from BusyBox for depmod, but man depmod worked. I can't say I entirely understand it, but at least I have a better idea now. Thanks a lot for you help, Bruce. |

In the latest Woof-built puppies, built from the trunk Woof, 'depmod' is now the full program (so if you do want to run the Busybox depmod then you have to run "busybox depmod". Thus, the -aq option will work. Older puppies do have the full depmod, but it is named "depmod-FULL'. _________________ http://bkhome.org/blog2/ |
