NVIDIA compilation problem

[arash.abghari]

Hi,

I am not able to install nvidia driver for pve-kernel-2.6.32-1-pve. It seems, it can not find appropriate header files, although I have pve-headers-2.6.32-1-pve installed. It gets compiled for pve-kernel-2.6.24-10-pve without any problem.

Thanks

What driver does not compile, exactly. Where can I download the sources?

I assume he is talking about the closed source nvidia drivers for X.

It's the driver provided by NVIDIA for graphic cards. During installation, the driver is compiling something for installed kernel. The driver that I am using is NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.42.

Thanks

Again, where can I download that driver?

sorry about that. Here is the link you can download the latest driver:

I also attached the NVIDIA installer log file.

Thanks

Sorry, but that installer does not run without nvidia card - so I can't debug.

If there is any thing that I can provide you with to figure out the problem, let me know.

Ok, don't do this on a production environment.
If you want to use the Nvidia drivers I have to think that what you want is 3D... compiz or something similar?
What you can do is install a debian squeeze with the linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-amd64, then you can install compiz, compile the Nvidia 3d or whatever you want. After that you must add the proxmox ve repository and install the proxmox packages.
You will have everything you need, Proxmox with KSM, Compiz-Fusion, Elisa mediacenter...
I've done this at home and it's all working fine.

I just uploaded a fixed version of the 'pve-headers-2.6.32-1-pve' package. Please can you update and test?

Now works perfect.

It's working fine now.
