Unfortunately - with kernel 2.6.38.4-desktop-1.mga sound disappeared - not going to save all the settings for your graphics card!

Hi

Code: Select all
Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface
-> License accepted.
-> Installing NVIDIA driver version 270.41.06.
-> Performing CC sanity check with CC="cc".
-> Performing CC version check with CC="cc".
ERROR: The kernel header file '/usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h' does not
       exist.  The most likely reason for this is that the kernel source files
       in '/usr/src/linux' have not been configured.
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.


any idea?

Most likely you need to install kernel-source through Mageia Control Centre -> Software Management -> Install and Remove Software.
Be aware that "View" and "Filter"-boxes have the option "All" selected.

kernel-source is only used for re-compiling the kernel. To build kernel modules use the kernel-*-devel package corresponding to the running kernel.

Just curious, why are you installing the nvidia proprietary driver using the upstream .run? the same exact driver is already packaged in the Mageia Nonfree repo...

Here're a couple of cons with the upstream .run:
- It replaces some files from some system packages with its own copies, notable some mesa files
- When the kernel is updated you have to manually build the kernel module, whereas this is not a problem with the packages from the repos, DKMS builds the module for a new kernel when you boot it for the first time (assuming you have the matching kernel-devel package installed)

Anyway, your box, your call.
