You have to use fakeroot 1.11 and
/var/lib must be writable (chmod 777)

You should be able to downgrade fakeroot once you get the source from f12, I guess, and recompile it ....

Paulo:

Yes, I've checked and I have fakeroot 1.12. What is the difference
and is there any way to use 1.12?

/var/lib should be writeable, but I'll check again.

Thanks for the help.

George

None that I am aware of.
I always downgrade to 1.11. I should have
a pre-build version if you want.

Thanks, I've grabbed the src.rpm from Axel's site (here:
http://dl.atrpms.net/all/fakeroot-1.11-19.src.rpm) and built it
myself, but I am still getting an error that says: ERROR: No NVIDIA
driver is currently installed; the '--kernel-module-only' option can
only be used to install the NVIDIA kernel module on top of an existing
driver installation.

/var/lib is set to 777

Can you spot anything else wrong below?

You have to build the libs first for all new driver version.
Just add 0 1 (0 space 1) at the end of the command line
you used to build the kmdl. After building the libs, you can build the kmdl
by removing the 0 1 extra parameters.

Paulo:

Thanks. I added 0 1 to the end and got a little further, but I've had
a bunch of other issues. I had to create a directory /etc/OpenCL and
chmod 777, but I still get a bunch of errors. It seems like it is
trying to uninstall the current nvidia driver before building. I'm
not sure that is what is supposed to happen.

I'm going to give up for the time being -- I have something else I
have to finish -- but I'll try to come back to this later.

However, so you (or others) can see the types of errors I'm getting,
here is a sampling.. I can send the full output if you want, but it is
rather long.

You do not need to create any extra directory.
Are you sure you downgraded fakeroot? The
nvidia script should not access the system directories ...

Mine is:

fakeroot-1.11-19.fc17.src.rpm

Paulo:

I believe so. I had fakeroot 1.12 installed, removed it (and
fakeroot-libs) with yum, built the src.rpm from Axel's repository for
1.11-19, and installed that rpm using yum localinstall. RPM reports
the following:

$ rpm -qa | grep fakeroot
fakeroot-1.11-19.fc16.x86_64

As I said, it may not be worth wasting more of your time on this.
I'll try to poke around some more this weekend to see what I can find.

Thanks,

George

I know what is happening. You are using kde.

Try to login in gnome and do the same thing and it should work (I had the
same problem).

Really!!! Wow! OK, I'll give it a try.

Thanks.

Paulo:

Thanks for all of the help! You are correct that KDE was the culprit.
Building under Gnome (Cinnamon, to be precise), it worked just fine.
I also experimented with upgrading back to fakeroot 1.12, but found
that didn't work.

I'm curious about these 2 issues. I notice that fakeroot is available
up to version 1.18, and I may try that to see if it works. As for the
KDE issue, I may just ignore that and build under Gnome, but I still
find it odd that the desktop would have an impact on this.

Thanks again.

George

I did not know cinnamon, but it turned out to be very nice, and I am using
it right now ...

I think kde should change some environment variables, which causes
the build to fail, but you can login remotely (that is, no desktop) and it
should also work.

Regarding fakeroot, I have no clue. Maybe Axel fixes the issue one day ...

The good part for you is that, now, you can build your own modules,
for any kernel you have installed, without having to boot with the kernel
you
want to build for.

Paulo:

Yes, Cinnamon is rather nice. If I need to work under Gnome, I
greatly prefer it to Gnome 3. FYI, I'm not sure how you installed it,
but I found a repository for it a while back. Here is the information
if you don't already have it:

[fedora-cinnamon]
name=Cinnamon provides core user interface functions for the GNOME 3 desktop
baseurl=http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/leigh123linux/cinnamon/fedora-$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=1
skip_if_unavailable=1
gpgcheck=0

[fedora-cinnamon-source]
name=Cinnamon provides core user interface functions for the GNOME 3
desktop - Source
baseurl=http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/leigh123linux/cinnamon/fedora-$releasever/SRPMS
enabled=0
