<0> I'm havins big problems installing the nvidia drivers
<0> im using etch (debian testing), and trying to follow this guide: http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
<0> but everytime its saying that it cannot find package "nvidia-kernel-common"
<0> i did an apt-get update, with the same results on the install afterwards
<0> i have no idea what to do with it
<0> altho i did download: nvidia-kernel-common_20051028+1.tar.gz, but since im kinda new to installing packages the manual way, i have no idea how this works
<0> any ideas?
<1> you can use apt to get the packages sources
<1> make a directory, ch to it, type 'apt-get source nvidia-kernel-common'
<1> you'll need fakeroot
<1> then in the nvidia-kernel-common-whatever dir run 'fakeroot debian/rules binary'
<1> and it magically creates the package
<1> kinda odd it would be missing tho
<0> im using default sources.list
<1> yes?
<1> oh, I see
<1> you need non-free
<0> all main
<0> hmz
<0> example ?
<1> oh, no, it's in contrib
<1> deb http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
<1> is what I have in sources.list
<1> ie, just add contrib and non-free to the end of the line you have
<0> updating
<1> it should find nvidia-kernel-common then
<0> yup, it did
<0> thx, you saved my gfx :P
<1> GirlFriend-X? Exgirlfriend?
<0> no comment...
<0> :P
<0> pff, still cant install it :S
<1> install what?
<0> im using "Use module-***istant" on the guide
<0> now it fails on m-a auto-install nvidia
<0> "Installation of the nvidia-kernel-source source failed."
<1> hmm.. never used that
<0> what do you use?
<1> well, I use a non dpkged kernel
<1> so I made a empty that provides the nvidia kernel stuff
<1> and compiled it by hand
<1> not exactly elegant I guess
<0> hmm, since this doesn't seem to work properly, do you mind guiding me trough it ?
<1> well, you need equivs for it
<0> i dont mind what i need really
<0> i just installed it
<1> then you type 'equivs-control nvidia-kernel-dummy'
<1> open it in a text editor
<1> change the text after Package: to nvidia-kernel-dummy
<1> uncomment Provides and change it to have: nvidia-kernel-1.0.8762
<0> ok, hold on
<1> save the file and run: equivs-builds nvidia-kernel-dummy
<1> err, equivs-build
<1> then install nvidia-kernel-source
<1> change to /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv
<1> and run make install
<1> you just have to remember that upgrading this setup isn't as straightforward
<1> you have to create a new nvidia-kernel-dummy that provides the new version and compile the new module
<0> E: Package nvidia-kernel-source has no installation candidate
<0> when i try to install nvidia kernel source
<1> did you add non-free in your sources?
<0> yes
<0> and still yes after i double checked
<1> how odd
<1> maybe your mirror doesn't stock nvidia non-free packages
<0> could you pastebin your sources.list?
<1> my sources.list consists of the line I pasted here, and a mirroring deb-src
<1> and one line for experimental that you don't want
<0> ok, let me try that one
<1> try what one?
<0> deb http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
<1> oh, the finnish mirror
<0> and changing sid to etch
<1> yes, do change that
<0> updated, same problem
<1> well, I can't check the package status since I seem to have issues with various websites
<1> I guess it could be that the nvidia packages were withdrawn from etch for whatever reason
<0> :(
<1> you can use the nvidia .run packages with debian ***uming you install xserver-xorg-dev
<1> and you have to reinstall them everytime X updates
<0> thats the nvidia installer is it ?
<1> yes
<0> http://www.pastebin.ru/3320 (.com didn't work for me)
<0> lol, for some reason it added php tags
<1> apt-cache show nvidia-kernel-source gives you what? nothing?
<0> nothing
<1> what about nvidia-glx?
<0> also nothing
<1> and what line do you have in sources.list now?
<0> ill pastebin
<0> http://www.pastebin.ru/3321
<1> you should point it to ftp.nl.debian.org whatever actually
<1> there's no reason why that shouldn't find it ***uming it's actually there
<0> can you verify its there?
<0> do you get anything with apt-get show ?
<0> *cache
<1> I just always use packages.debian.org
<0> manual download?
<1> well, I guess you can do that also
<1> but I mean I check for bad packages there
<1> it also has a bug tracker attached
<1> you can also get them from ftp://ftp.fi.debian.org/pub/debian/pool/non-free/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers/
<0> when i use packages.debian.org, and search for nvidia on testing, there is no kernel-source
<1> you can probably use module-***istant and remove nvidia-kernel-dummy if you install nvidia-kernel-sources
<0> http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=nvidia&searchon=names&subword=1&version=testing&release=all
<1> nvidia-glx is missing also
<0> strange huh
<1> Maybe they've never been to testing then
<0> ... i guess ill be downloading the nvidia installer
<1> remove the nvidia-kernel-dummy then, so you don't forget it
<0> just removing the files it generated should be anough?
<1> you didn't install it?
<0> we stopped at apt-ge install nvidia-kernel-source
<1> then, yes
<0> alright
<1> just be sure to install xserver-xorg-dev first
<0> why's that?
<1> it's used to find out where the magic beans grow
<0> ...
<1> it contains a file that's universally accepted as the correct way of finding out where xorg modules are installed
<0> hmm, ok
<1> it'll install the stuff in the wrong place otherwise
<1> but I'm off to sleep, I'm sure there's some bugger that'll help you along if you hit problems with the .run
<0> many thanks for your help
<1> np
<0> poor thing it didn't work out for testing :(
<2> I rebooted and my X didn't come up... (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module! Suggestions on a fix?
<3> did you recompile your kernel?
<4> after intsalling the Proprietary nvidia driver I notice that my windows seem to draw slower. The window is black at first and then draws downwards and takes about half a second to a full second. Anyone know about this?
<5> renderacell
<5> renderaccel
<5> that is
<5> enable that
<4> ha Primer weird you just mentioned that, I was just reading about it
<4> Option "RenderAccel" "true"
<4> :)
<4> Thanks
<5> np
<4> Pimer, just for an opinion, do you seem to notice a difference with it enabled?
<4> primer*
<5> it depends on the card
<5> with some there's a world of difference
<4> you just put this under device in the same section where the driver selection is right?
<4> Primer, I added Option "RenderAccel" "true" to my xorg.conf under Device with the information for my graphics card but I still get that same problem.
<5> cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status
<4> fast writes are disabled
<4> and so is SBA
<4> Primer, http://pastebin.ca/71689
<4> That is my output
<5> dunno
<5> those are the usual suspects
