Mageia forum

It's been a very long time since I've had to setup Mageia for a compiling kernel for nvidia drivers, but with the latest release and nvidia dropping support for a lot of cards in the new drivers, I'm stuck with a lot of workstations that still need the older nvidia drivers. I know I can download the older version from nvidia and install/compile it myself, but it seems my memory isn't as good as it used to be on exactly which packages I need first. I know it requires the latest kernel, latest kernel-desktop-devel, and I thought that was it, but I get errors during the compile stating "this isn't a compiling kernel" from the nvidia driver install, so I think I'm still missing something somewhere.

If someone could point me in the right direction to what packages I'm missing, it would be greatly appreciated!

It might help if you would post what models you actually need this for. Also the output of

Code: Select all

rpm -qa|grep -iE "dkms|kernel"|sort

1GB GeForce 8400 GS
I've downloaded the last driver Nvidia made for back in 2019. I'll see about getting the output for the command the next time I'm working on those machines, I appreciate the help.

Ok, here is what the workstation reports

Digging through the time machine, the Nvidia website says:

On most systems, this means that you will need to locate and install the correct kernel-source, kernel-headers, or kernel-devel package; on some distributions, no additional packages are required.

From what I can tell, I don't have the kernel-source installed, that might be the missing piece, but seems like in the past that wasn't necessary, especially given all the space that will take up.

Only the kernel-devel package is required. But I don't understand why you don't simply try the nvidia drivers packaged by Mageia. What happens if you run drakx11 and select the proprietary driver ?
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Setup_the_graphical_server

edit: Ahh, I see - the older nvidia340 driver has been obsoleted due to not being supported upstream anymore and due to open security issues.
See also https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_8_Rel ... DIA_driver

So you'd manually have to run the nvidia installer, it should also integrate the driver via DKMS by default (as you already have that installed) so you don't have to redo this for every kernel update.

Yeah, that was me posting in the bug report. Over the many years, I've had the time saver that Mageia already has the compiled driver and it was plug n' play installs all the time. This time, I need to manually install the driver, which I fondly remember doing a lot of; a decade ago but now I'm running into issues try to repeat that.

Yeah, the issue that the Nvidia installer complains about is during the install process it errors out with "this is not a compiling kernel" which leaves me scratching my head. Next chance I get, I'll post up a screenshot of what I mean, that might help to figure out where the issue is.

Can you attach /var/log/nvidia-installer.log here ?

Sorry about the delay, I don't have access to the machine that often.

Unfortunately you will have no luck with the 340 driver series as you can‘t build the module anymore with actual kernels. There are countless reports for this issue for different distributions.

This ancient graphic card should work fine with the noveau driver btw...

I wish it did, but it has lots of glitching while using it, windows don't have text or missing graphics, x server will randomly crash back to the login screen, etc. Looks like they will need an upgrade for the card. I would leave them on Mageia 7 where everything works flawlessly, but at the same time, no more security updates, general updates, etc.
