CentOS 7 KDE: Installing Nvidia driver.

Hi there,

I tried installing Nvidia driver on fresh installation of CentOS 7 KDE, but it did not work.

Here are the steps that I have done.

1. su -
2. yum update -y
3. reboot now

At this point, I would see the new kernel in my grub menu, however, I would choose this older one.

4. rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org
5. rpm -Uvh https://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-releas...epo.noarch.rpm
6. yum install yum-plugin-fastestmirror
7. yum install nvidia-detect

Now, I notice that the command "nvidia-detect" gave me nothing today. I would get "kmod-nvidia-304xx" from this command in the past.

8. nvidia-detect

Code:

[root@Compaq-Presario-F763NR ~]# nvidia-detect 



[root@Compaq-Presario-F763NR ~]#

9. yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo install kmod-nvidia-304xx

Code:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks

Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

 * elrepo: ftp.utexas.edu

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I tried the following, but it did not help.

10. yum clean all

Code:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks

Cleaning repos: base elrepo extras updates

Cleaning up everything

Maybe you want: rm -rf /var/cache/yum, to also free up space taken by orphaned data from disabled or removed repos

Cleaning up list of fastest mirrors

11. yum update -y

I still can't install kmod-nvidia-304xx. I rebooted and chose newer kernel, but I still receive similar error message.

Thank you.

The elrepo NVIDIA packages are built for kernel 3.x, so you can't use that package if you have kernel 4.x - you would need to use NVIDIA's .run file instead.

Can you post the output of the following command;

Code:

uname -a

What if I use elrepo Nvidia packages to install and upgrade my kernel to the newest one, afterward? What would happen?

Thank you.

Ok, so we know you have booted into kernel 3.10, which means you should be able to use the package from elrepo. Now, let's try clearing yum's cache.

Run the following command to clear yum's cache;

Code:

yum clean all

Then try installing the package again and post the results if it still doesn't work for ya.

Also, can you post the output from the following command;

Code:

lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A2

Don't do that, you'll only invite more problems.

Okay.

I think I would try upgrading my kernel to the 4.x one, and install Nvidia driver from the run file. Do you happen to have step-by-step instruction, however?

Thank you.

Thanks for the results. Now it appears your system is currently using the open-source nouveau driver - which is good. And you do indeed have NVIDIA hardware, which is also good.

Something I completely forgot to mention before; try updating all packages and then try installing the package.

Code:

yum update *

As it maybe that your current kernel just isn't a high enough minor version. Just done a bit of digging and if you have downloaded CentOS 7.6, this thread might explain a few things for ya.

Yes, there is a step-by-step guide, and I even wrote it myself, it's here.

Complete!

Thank you.

Here are more steps.

5. nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
, added the line "blacklist nouveau", and save the file.

6. shutdown -r now

Ok, it looks like you have all the necessary packages to build the driver. So now it's a matter of downloading the driver's .run file from NVIDIA's website - make sure you choose the correct driver for your hardware. Then get the system into runlevel 3/init 3, give the .run file "execute" permission, and then run the .run file (excuse the pun).

As long as your system is still working properly (it should be), then I wouldn't worry too much about the error yum's complaining about.

Here are more steps.

7.

Quote:

At the GRUB screen, make sure the menu option to start the kernel you are going to build the driver against, is selected and then press "e". Use the keyboard's arrow keys to go to to the end of the kernel's command-line and type "rdblacklist=nouveau", then press CTRL+X to start the system with that kernel parameter.

Quote:

Press CTRL+ALT+F2 to enter a virtual console/tty and then login as root. Then run the following command:

Code:

init 3

9. However, the step below failed on me.

Code:

./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-304.137.run

According to the site here, I would need to look for patch for Nvidia 304.137.
https://www.if-not-true-then-false.c...-nvidia-guide/
https://www.if-not-true-then-false.c...ched-installer

Quote:

Download nVidia 304.137 installer with Kernel 4.15, 4.14 patch

Code:

wget https://nvidia.if-not-true-then-false.com/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-304.137-patched-kernel-4.14.run

Now, the command above gave me "404 Not Found".

Do you happen to know where I can get the patch similar to the information above?

Thank you.

The NVIDIA installer produces a log, particularly if it fails - please provide that using CODE tags.

It should have told you where that log is, it would be in the /var/log folder somewhere - I don't remember exactly where it is there though - but it should once again tell you where it is.

Here is the first half.

Code:

ERROR: Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module.

ERROR: Installation has failed.  Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details.  You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.

Thank you.

Which driver did you actually download? Because from my research it looks like you may need the "legacy" driver, and not the most current driver. My NVIDIA card has also became "legacy" now, therefore I also need to use the "legacy" driver myself.

Try the "Latest Legacy GPU version (390.xx series): 390.87" under "Linux x86_64/AMD64/EM64T" from here.

(I could not find your graphics controller listed on NVIDIA's website in their drivers page, but seems to be mentioned on other sites.)

How old is this machine?
