I can no longer install NVIDIA drivers because modules.dep is unwriteable
I changed the permissions and nothing happened, so I'm suspecting SElinux is at fault.
Anyone know how to fix that?

Do you install as root?

Yes, I know it's an SElinux problem.. I turned SElinux off and I could install fine.
But why did they break nvidia?

Dangit! I was about to download this in hopes that i'd be able to install the nVidia drivers without lots of issues and disturbance... like before... Ok, well good luck with your problem, I might just download this anyway.

Just turn off SELinux (Desktop-> System Settings->Security Settings and Firewall), reboot, install, turn on SELinux, reboot

FYI.


If you turn SELinux off, do some installs/changes/whatever and then turn it back on, you will need to relabel and reboot


touch /.autorelabel
reboot

Dunno if it's the same in FC3, but in FC4, you can set it to relabel at the next reboot from the SELinux menu.
Thanks for the tip cyberjackle.. I did that just because I didn't know what it did.

Yep, thats correct you can do it from the gui menu too.
