NVIDIA kernel Driver - a better solution

[Mandragor]

Hi,

in this forum a solution was posted how in the alpha/beta kernel the nvidia drivers could be activated.
However this is much effort and it didn't work for me, because my kernel always crashed when i turned of the debugging options as suggested by the author. Therefore after some internet search i have another solution. Basically the problem is one kernel function which has a GPL Tag and this will make some checking in the build fail. Therefore if we don't set the GPL symbol in the build, the check will not fail. This is a bandaid i know. But the current nouveau driver are a mess for my two linux computers both with nvidia cards.

1. Create directory "nvidia"

2. Download the Nvidia Driver from http://www.nvidia.de/Download/Find.aspx

use the current BETA DRIVER
at time of writing this is "NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.32-pkg2.run"

3. Create the files "build-nvidia.sh" and "Makefile.kbuild.patch"
(see below)

4. Before you can run the build script you need to make sure that the
nouveau driver is not activated on boot. Therefore you need
to add nouveau.modeset=0 to the kernel options. See example
below , add only the text in bold!

5. Reboot

5. Go to linux console, turn off X-Server e.g. with "init 3"

6. run "build-nvidia.sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.32-pkg2.run"

7. Now it should build and work as expected ;-)

Have Fun!

The following files need to be in the directory "nvidia"

File "build-nvidia.sh"

#!/bin/sh
NVIDIA_PACKAGE=$1
if [ ! $NVIDIA_PACKAGE ];then
echo "build-nvidia.sh PACKAGE_NAME"
exit
fi

It would be better to use 190.36 (it supports the Xorg version) , there is a easier way to patch the driver ;)

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=2091962



64 bit

su
wget ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/190.36/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.36-pkg2.run
wget http://leigh123linux.fedorapeople.org/pub/patches/2.6.31_patch/nvidia.patch
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.36-pkg2.run
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.36-pkg2.run --apply-patch nvidia.patch
This creates a patched .run file that can be installed .



P.S thanks for the patch, I will test it later on my F12 install.

[Mandragor]

Hi,

thanks for the advice. Works fine - at least on my computer ;-)

Regards

[leigh123linux]

Thank you for the patch it works fine here. :cool:

[NoFate]

Well, good solution, but here is some update because of usage specific app "colrm". It's better to use "cut"

LOCKDEP_INIT_MAP:=$(shell grep "T lockdep_init_map" /boot/System.map-$(shell uname -r) |cut -d" " -f1)

[chepioq]

Thank for that...
I install nvidia drivers with Leigh method, and that work...

[chepioq]

There working one day...
yesterday , there are been updates (among which xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.0-1.fc12.x86_64 and xorg-x11-server-common-1.7.0-1.fc12.x86_64 ) and now I have no open-gl , desktop effects of kde won't work...
Should I uninstall the nvidia drivers when there is update of xorg?

The Xorg update has overwritten some of the nvidia files, rerun the nvidia installer.

[chepioq]

Thank leigh, but re-run the nvidia installer don't work.
Do an --uninstall and run the nvidia installer work...

[rockdoctor]

Thank you mandragor and leigh!

Time to bring my Rawhide installation up to date. I've been running xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.1.901-1.fc11 and kernel-2.6.31-0.190.rc8.fc12.x86_64 for more than three weeks now just so I could have a working X. In fact, recent nightly composes wouldn't give a working X even when using the vesa driver. The patched nvidia driver worked without a hitch with the LXDE Oct 7 nightly compose running off a live USB stick. Thanks again.

[mailga]

It works fine for us. Thank you

There is a simple solution:
1. Login under root
2. Go to /usr/lib(64)/xorg/modules/extensions
3. Move libglx.so to libglx.so.orig (it may be removed but I don't recommed it)
4. Linking nvidia libglx.so.193.36 within libglx.so
5. Logout and Login

How could u get a kernel with such version?

For me

But it is a kernel I have patched, because without the patch I don't boot a 2.6.31 kernel without "acpi=off" option.

Just one question:

Yes.


There used to be a package on livna (now rpmfusion) which did this stuff automatically,
maybe there is somebody with sufficient time to port this rpm to F12?

Yes.

With F11 I use akmod and akmod-nvidia, which build the nvidia driver for every new kernel.
But the version of akmod-nvidia is incompatible with rawhide (Xorg-server is not the same, version of nvidia is not good...et cetera).
How can I build an akmod-nvidia for rawhide? (I search a tuto on web, but I don't found...)

Any chance of putting up your SRPMs or detailing the changes you made so that I can do the same quickly? I think until they stop using a kernel with debugging (ie rawhide), freshrpms aren't gonna release their akmod nvidia packages.

Try

su
yum install kernel-PAE-devel
reboot

[Elv13]

No, it did not worked, the module was not build by the rpm

EDIT: your RPM print some warning because your username don't exist ;). I will check if they work later.

Did you reboot ?


if so post


su
dkms status

[Elv13]

Yes, I did, but there is no "nvidia.ko" module anywhere. It may be normal, I don't know, I just see this module on every other distributions.

[root@lepagee-mac SPECS]# rpmbuild -bb nvidia-kmod.spec

To build nvidia-kmod, try


rpmbuild -bb --target=i686 nvidia-kmod.spec


as for the .ko , try

su
updatedb
locate nvidia.ko

[chepioq]

I try to build nvidia kmod, but I have this error message:

erreur: Dépendances de construction manquantes:

What I forgot?

[Elv13]

locate find nothing (as expected as the file was never installed)

and the compilation of your package leave me with this:

I try to build nvidia kmod, but I have this error message:

Make sure you have the rpmfusion rawhide repo's enabled for the deps.

[chepioq]

Ok leigh, the rpmfusion rawhide repo's was not installed...:(
I install it and the build work.:p
Now I have:
-akmod-nvidia-190.40-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm
-kmod-nvidia-190.40-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm
-kmod-nvidia-2.6.31.4-83.fc12.x86_64-190.40-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm
-nvidia-kmod-debuginfo-190.40-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm

I install akmod-nvidia tomorrow (It is time to bed for me in France)
Just a question:
Before install akmod, I uninstall the nvidia driver I have installed with the .run?

[leigh123linux]

locate find nothing (as expected as the file was never installed)

and the compilation of your package leave me with this:

It seems that 32 bit systems don't need patching , I have altered the nvidia-kmod so it doesn't patch 32 bit systems.


It doesn't build non-PAE kmods, but this should be a issue as the is a akmod package.

Did you add the kernel option to grub.conf ?

Hi leigh...
This morning, after uninstall the nvidia driver installed by the .run, I install:
-akmod-nvidia-190.40-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm
-xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-190.40-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm
-xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-190.40-1.fc12.i686.rpm
-xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-190.40-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm

I reboot and... that work!!!
Thank for your .rpm and src.rpm.

Your patch does help, but now when I try to install the package, it ask for
error: Failed dependencies:
nvidia-kmod-common >= 190.40 is needed by akmod-nvidia-190.40-2.fc12.i686

but this package is not created.

Try installing them as a single transaction ;)

yum install --ngpgcheck /home/lepagee/Download/xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-190.40-1.fc12.i686.rpm /home/lepagee/Download/xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-190.40-1.fc12.i686.rpm akmod-nvidia-190.40-2.fc12.i686.rpm

P.S use akmod-nvidia instead of kmod-nvidia

thanks that did the trick

[Laughingman]

all your patches tips and tricks gets the driver installed
and thx for all the rpms :D

but that is not why iam replying :eek:
it gets the driver installed but not the GLX
so it is still a 2D acceleration no 3D [no compiz no games] :p
plz if someone get it fully working
share the info with me :D

[thomthom]

I followed this tutorial but nothing is working....

I follow the tutorial (by building akmo-nvidia and after I install with all dependencies), and that work fine for me.
I install the latest kernel from koji, and on boot akmod-nvidia build the driver.
And I have 3D acceleration...

Disable selinux.

system-config-selinux

and change mode to disabled and reboot

[Laughingman]

Thx guys for "nouveau.modeset=0"

But looks like all my problems were related to selinux
the driver installs perfectly
SELINUX was having policy problems
and many other were effected like wine because of it

If others have similar problems like nmap errors
try setting SELINUX in to permissive mode
you can disable SELINUX permanently if you like but i suggest you should think about it first before doing it
to do this open "/etc/selinux/conf"
and change "SELINUX=permissive" or "SELINUX=disabled"

A minor issue. As a normal user, when I run glxinfo | grep direct I get


NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied).
direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)

However when I run as root, it runs as expected.

$ grep video /etc/group

video:x:39:jongi

I did change the uid of the user. but that was before i added the user to the video group.

Add this

chmod go+rw /dev/nvidia*
to /etc/rc.d/rc.local



i.e


#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

touch /var/lock/subsys/local
chmod go+rw /dev/nvidia*

Have you the rpmfusion-rawhide enable?
Or installed? if no install it:
# rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm

# rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-rawhide.noarch.rpm

Morning, chepioq, thanks, now I built the src rpm and got four rpm files (akmod-nvidia-190.42-3.fc12.x86_64.rpm, kmod-nvidia-190.42-3.fc12.x86_64.rpm, kmod-nvidia-2.6.31.1-56.fc12.x86_64-190.42-3.fc12.x86_64.rpm, nvidia-kmod-debuginfo-190.42-3.fc12.x86_64.rpm), which should I install? thanks.

[jaodan]

another question, do I need to turn off x-window by "init 3" to install them?

[jaodan]

Hello chepioq and Leigh, I got following error when I try to install,

sudo rpm -Uvh akmod-nvidia-190.42-3.fc12.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
nvidia-kmod-common >= 190.42 is needed by akmod-nvidia-190.42-3.fc12.x86_64

where can I download nvidia-kmod-common? thanks.

[chepioq]

You need:
-xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-190.42-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm
-xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-190.42-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm
It was on koji for 5 days but unfortunately this time is closed...
I have this .rpm on my pc, and if you want, send me a email address by mp and I send you this rpm.

[jaodan]

thanks chepioq, my email address is jaodan2003@yahoo.com

[bakerboy26]

Would be possible if you could send me these rpms as well?
Or tell me where i can download these?


Thanks in advance,

Gordy

[chepioq]

I send you the rpm, but please erase your email address from this forum, if you don't want spam...

[bakerboy26]

thanks, look forward to the rpms

I've just updated my kernel in the latest yum updates to ..


[martin@localhost ~]$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.31.5-96.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Oct 23 19:30:30 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[martin@localhost ~]$


and the standard beta nvidia installer worked first time

i just downloaded NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.36-pkg2.run

installs and works :)

just thought I'd share with you :)

[jaodan]

thanks, chepioq, I got them.

I think it is not a good idea, because I have just the rpm for x86_64 version.
Anyway the akmod-nvidia or kmod-nvidia coming soon in rpmfusion-nonfree rawhide.

Ok, do you know when it will be in RPMFusion?

I give the question on maintener of nvidia, and he said me in this week, if there are no problems.

Thanks for sharing! Worked for me too.

I have installed proprietery nvidia driver from russianfedora repos (http://mirror.yandex.ru/fedora/russianfedora/russianfedora/nonfree/fedora/development/x86_64/os/) with kernel option nouveau.modeset=0

System boot up well, nvidia module booted, but when system boot up I can see some like that:

Unknown kernel option 'nouveau.modeset=0' ignore..

but without nouveau.modeset=0 not started X

What does mean?

[Jongi]

i also get the same message but i ignore it given that the driver doesn't work without the option

[AdamW]

the message is really a bug in the kernel. what happens is that if you pass a kernel option of the format:

modulename.option=value

the option 'option' is passed to the module 'modulename' with the value 'value'. So in this case, we're sending the module 'nouveau' the option 'modeset=0' . this works and does what we want it to. But in the mean time the kernel complains because the option 'nouveau.modeset' doesn't mean anything to it. What should really happen is the kernel should be smart enough to recognize and not complain about this kind of parameter.

I have a bug report open upstream for it. Short story, you can ignore it, it's not a problem.

no probs mate, the latest 190.42 works great aswell.

Is it just me or does the tv out not work with this driver?

[NickLee]

the message is really a bug in the kernel...
Thank you for the answer

[NickLee]

the message is really a bug in the kernel...
One more question:

On boot up I can see text boot screen with blue, light blue and white colors of progress bar of the botom.
On Fedora 11 if I press Escape I can see on back screen start up services
But on Rawhide I can't to do this. Each time if I press Escape I can see half of second simbol "]" in the progress bar and nothing happens... blue, light blue and white progress moves again

Any comments?

[Jongi]

yes that is something that i have noticed with this new kernel. even tried ctrl-esc and that didn't work

[AdamW]

not really sure, honestly Fedora devs don't support what happens with the nvidia driver, much. unless you can reproduce with nvidia proprietary driver disabled, there won't be a lot of interest.
