Hello I’m trying to install the nvidia driver and cuda but I am having trouble installing the nvidia driver. The log contains this issue:
test -e include/generated/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf || ( \
echo; \
echo " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \
echo " include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\
echo " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \
echo; \
/bin/false)
I tried running ‘make oldconfig && make prepare’ with no success.

Oh.
That text must be on a later edit, so it was not copied to the NNTP
gateway, and thus I could not see it. Sigh…
Ok, then what I need to know is what messages he got from that attempt
at make.

include/generated/autoconf.h is contained in kernel-desktop-devel.
If you have this installed (and you have apparently), you don’t need to run any “make prepare” to be able to install the nvidia driver.
Maybe because you did confuses the installer?
Try to run “make clean” or “make mrproper” in the kernel source tree, maybe it would work then?
But if I read your installation log correctly, you don’t get that error you quoted in your first post. That’s just the commands in the script that are run and check if the kernel headers can be found. And apparently they are found because the script doesn’t abort there.
Your first actual error is this:
In file included from /tmp/selfgz4905/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.20/kernel/conftest.h:1:0,
from /tmp/selfgz4905/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.20/kernel/nv-linux.h:15,
from /tmp/selfgz4905/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.20/kernel/nv.c:13:
/tmp/selfgz4905/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.20/kernel/conftest/macros.h:1:2: error: #error INIT_WORK() conftest failed!
I don’t really know why that is, googling only revealed problems like this when trying to compile older drivers on newer kernels.
But you should install “kernel-syms” as well AFAIK. Maybe that fixes it already?
Thanks for the replies and suggestions. After running
make oldconfig
make prepare
I got:

Then I ran make. It’s too long to pastebin, but it make completes. There are a couple places with compiler warning. When I run the Nvidia install, it gives the same results as before.
I also tried a make clean, make mrproper and make again with the same results as before.

Rather “make cloneconfig” and “make prepare”.
make cloneconfig
make scripts
make prepare

Don’t.

Don’t run mrproper, it destroys things. Rather reinstall the rpms.

If you have no success with the compilation
You can try downloading the nvidia driver and cuda .run file. ( this are two different packages)
then install first the nvidia driver, then the cuda disregarding the
nvidia driver installation when you run the cuda .run file.
I said install first the nvidia driver because you might have a specific graphic driver
you want to use instead of the one included in the cuda .run package.
It is like when you are installing the the .run nvidia propreitary graphic driver.
I have done it long ago with cuda and it is not just as easy as 123 needs some tweaking in
openSUSE. I have to boot my machine with cuda to recall what I did to it.
I see, If memory serves I installed another gcc version not the one shipped with openSUSE 12.3 version to compile and disable gcc version check
in the cuda .run when I installed it. I found a reference about it in the net which I followed.
The op maybe have to help himself to search regarding this.
I reinstalled the kernel-source rpms with zypper. Then I did:
Rather “make cloneconfig” and “make prepare”.
Code:
make cloneconfig
make scripts
make prepare
And got the same error.
I tried running the cuda*.run which uses a version 319.37 (The most recent is 331.20). It gives me a different error in the logs, but they don’t really give much info except warning me about Nouveau.

Thanks! I will do some searching to see what I can find.
