kernel update nvidia dependency

When I try to update the kernel in 11.1 to

kernel-default-2.6.27.19-3.2.1.x86_64

I get this error

nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default-177.82_2.6.27.7_9.1-1.1.x86_64 requires kernel(default:drivers_i2c)

Suggestions on how to proceed ??

I’d like to keep my Gnome desktop effects.

???

The error is saying that Nvidia doesn’t have a driver for that kernel. I would suggest not installing that kernel until Nvidia releases their next round of drivers.

Or, Uninstall nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default-177.82_2.6.27.7_9.1-1.1.x86_64 and install the Nvidia drivers manually.

There are related postings in the forum with details.

Cheers

I think you need to refresh your nvidia repository.
The latest driver i have is:

rpm -q nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default
nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default-180.29_2.6.27.18_0.3-0.1

rpm -q kernel-default
kernel-default-2.6.27.19-3.2.1

Thannks for that tip Chris.

I do have repo dns issues with this install.

Perhaps your suggestion will help.

Spot on Chris :slight_smile:

Im my thrashing about trying to resolve my Yast dns issues I had some time ago apparently borked my nvidia repo. It was bye-bye.

After adding back the nvidia repo the kernel update along with the nvidia update went flawlessly!

Thanks !

Yes you need the G02 one.

Last question is installing:

nvidia-gfx02-kmp-default + nvidia-gfx02-kmp-xen + x11-video-nvidiaG02

so what will happen,may I screw up something?

Cheers :wink:

Worked ok for me :slight_smile:

Did you installed
nvidia-gfx02-kmp-default + nvidia-gfx02-kmp-xen + x11-video-nvidiaG02? or that

nvidia-gfx02-kmp-default + x11-video-nvidiaG02;)

You’ll need one or the other.
Choose the one that matches your kernel, in your case that would be
nvidia-gfx02-kmp-default + x11-video-nvidiaG02

You might if you would install nvidia-gfx02-kmp-xen also.
