And yeah, it is kernel specific. <snip> > What's the system builder to do? Once you've got those two packages installed, any time you upgrade, you should get them. Then just rebuild the module. d/l from NVIDIA their linux driver package. I've got an older video card (1100, I think), so I *have* to use NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.20-pkg2.run, since no newer package supports it. A newer one, that might support it, is NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.13-pkg1.run. There *is* an rpm in the repository, but I don't know if it supports your card. For the Nvidia packages, once they're d/l, sh <package>, and it'll walk you through rather cleanly. Tell it yes for everything, pretty much. mark

Upgrade Problems
by Brunner, Brian T. 20 Apr '10

20 Apr '10

I had a RH7.3 system. I upgraded via Centos5.3 CDs I upgraded this system further via Yum. Current problems: 1: nvidia GF6800 Xtreme video card has no kernel module, so I have command-line only. 2: Building a kernel module requires downloading (at least parts) of the kernel; there is no clear label "yum install kernel-module-build-enabler" 3: Downloading the whole source tree (yum install kernel-devel) should suffice, but the downloaded kernel source tree does not compile ("make oldconfig;make proper; make" fails with no rule to make init/main.o) 4: Downloaded kernel module for nvidia fails to load; modprobe nvidia protests the different kernel build vs module build and bombs out What's the system builder to do? ******************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

How to display the IP on the welcome screen
by Patrick DERWAEL 20 Apr '10

20 Apr '10

Hi all, I'm running CentOS 5.4 in a VMware guest, with the host connected to a DHCP enabled LAN When CentOS comes up, I would like to see the IP adress displayed on the welcome screen. This would save me the hassle of logging in the VM, getting the IP, and logging off before finally ssh'ing to the VM. Does anyone have a clue on how to do this ?? Thanks! PS: security is not an issue as I'm running the VM on my local laptop PPS: this is a "confort" issue only (lazy me... I know !!!) -- Patrick Derwael Rue Hubert Larock, 20 4280 Hannut T: +32.(0)479/80.50.79

Java RE
by Michael Klinosky 20 Apr '10

20 Apr '10

Hello. Package Manager reports (with a green checkmark) that I have java-1.6.0 installed on my machine (running Cent 5.3), but it seems to not be running. I used http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml and got "Something is wrong. Java is not working." Perhaps I'm confused on which program I need to use java-coded apps. PM lists this app as "OpenJDK Runtime Environment" - is this it? [mykolas@sr1220 ~]$ rpm -q jdk jre package jdk is not installed package jre is not installed Can someone explain, or provide a link to a particular webpage that would clue me in?
