Cannot build nvidia drivers

[alinuxninja]

Hi,

I'm running proxmox 4.1-5 trying to build the nvidia drivers on 4.2.6-1-pve.

I installed pve-kernel-4.2.6-1-pve to get the headers, however they do not work properly.

I tried going to /usr/src/linux-headers-4.2.6-1-pve and running what it suggested - 'make oldconfig && make prepare', but I am getting another error.

Errors are attached.

Any help will be welcome.

Thanks!

please add the logs here (e.g. in txt file) - please do NOT use external services like pastebin or others, as these pages are known to disappear sooner or later.

What? No easy way anymore with DEB packages in Debian8? I've searched for this too but i'am nothing found, only manual installation.

This look interessting:

echo >&2 " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \
echo >&2 " include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\
echo >&2 " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \

Some is missing on your system. I know these things from my gentoo's.

You can just install the nvidia-driver package if it supports your card. It will auto-build using DKMS, though the above error is the result of attempting to build through DKMS
