Asus K50IN : No Sound No Graphic Driver

[sergeyopensuse]

I have solved my problem by including the next code into the section "Screen": 'Option "ModeValidation" "NoTotalSizeCheck" '.

[iddsgo]

I did everything acc. to the manual as previous pages but got this message during installation of driver.

'/var/log/nvidia-installer.log'

ERROR: Unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running kernel.
Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your
kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems,
for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' RPM
installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed,
you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path'
command line option.

I hope it is not a problem connected only with installation of OS 11.2 RC1.

Any ideas ?

You probably need to check what kernel you have installed:

uname -a

then install kernel-source, kernel-syms of the exact same version of your kernel, and linux-kernel-headers should be a very similar version as your kernel.

One way you can check to see what kernel app/versions you have installed is by typing:

rpm -qa | grep kernel

[iddsgo]

As per y/ suggestion I placed those command in terminal and got these:

Linux linux-dh9v 2.6.31.3-1-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2009-10-08 00:27:25 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
@linux-dh9v:~> rpm -qa | grep kernel
error: rpmdbNextIterator: skipping h# 94 Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: BAD, key ID 3dbdc284
linux-kernel-headers-2.6.31-2.4.noarch
kernel-firmware-20090821-3.1.noarch
kernel-desktop-2.6.31.3-1.1.x86_64

Afterwards I tried several downloads of nvidia driver and one after another was giving the same problem. For instance I tried -> NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.31-pkg2 due to no .31 as it is stated in kernel no. same result -> error.
Therefore one question what am I doing wrong?

You have not installed kernel-source nor kernel-syms.

openSUSE-11.2 RC1 is typically intended for average to advanced users for testing, where such users would know that. ... but there is first for everyone.

If you wish to custom compile a driver for your PC, it will need access to the kernel source code. That is a very big file and it is not installed by default. You have not installed that. You need to. Also, when installing that, note you need to install the same version of kernel-source and kernel-syms as your kernel-desktop.

You need to point me to the manual that you say you followed because it is a mistake in the manual if it did not tell you to install something that provided those packages. ... Hence either that needs to be fixed, or something was missed in your following the manual you reference.

1st you should start a new thread.

Its not clear:

• what openSUSE version you have?
• what nvidia hardware you have ?
• what kernel version you have ?
• what sax2 command you ran to configure ?

So please start a new thread, and answer those questions in the new thread, so that the experts in our forum can provide some help.

hello,
im having an ASUS K501N series laptop that has a G102M GeForce NVIDIA graphic card.Im having a dual boot with windows XP and OpenSUSE 11.1.i have already installed the graphic driver to windows but dont really Know how to installed it in SUSE 11.1..so i came up to this forum topic and did as what was told:

SOLUTION for your NVIDIA GPU:
Since this is one of the newer NVIDIA's, you will need to install the latest beta driver. Please follow instructions below and you will end up with a full blast of NVIDIA power: 3D and all.

Start the Software installer and make sure you have the pattern 'Linux Kernel Development' installed.

Open a terminal window and issue following commands:

mkdir NVIDIA-driver
-Creates a folder 'NVIDIA-driver' in your homedir.

cd NVIDIA-driver
-Makes you enter the 'NVIDIA-driver' folder.

wget ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Li...90.25-pkg1.run
-Downloads the latest beta driver from NVIDIA

Now logout of your desktop back to the login screen. At the graphic login screen, hit Ctrl-Alt-F1. This brings you to the console, with a text based login. Login with username and password. Now issue the following commands to install and configure the driver. You will be prompted for your rootpassword on all the 'su -c' commands. but that's for your own security.

cd ~/NVIDIA-driver
-Enter the folder where driver installer was downloaded.

su -c 'init 3'
-Change runlevel to 3: no X-server (so no graphic desktop)

su -c 'sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.25-pkg1.run -q'
-Starts the driver installer. Accept the licence and confirm all steps. The driver will be built and installed. After it finishes succesfully, you'll have to tell the X-server to use it:


Everything was ok up till this stage but as i type in this

su -c 'cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf .'

the following error comes out:
cp: missing destination file operand after '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.'
Try 'cp-- help' for more information

then i tried manually copying the file to the nvidia folder..and tried the rest:

su -c 'sax2 -r -m0=nvidia'

su -c 'init 5 && exit'

nvidia was sucessfully installed but i now have 6 screen on my monitor..and through this forum i found ou that adding Option "ModeValidation" "NoTotalSizeCheck" might help..but my monitors stays the same..
for days i tried googling and forums...but nothing seems to be helpful...

if its helpful,my kernel information is:

gothu@linux-p6e8:~> uname -a
Linux linux-p6e8 2.6.27.29-0.1-default #1 SMP 2009-08-15 17:53:59 +0200 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I recommend you copy your post, and then post it into a new thread, so that it gets the attention it needs.

The title to the current thread is " Asus K50IN : No Sound No Graphic Driver " ... duuhhhh ... are you trying to get the sound experts to help you with graphics ?? I don't think so.

So please, start a new thread with an appropriate title .. (ie "Help - 6-screens with proprietary nvidia driver" or something like that).

Ok ?

ok..thank you..
