I have ran the rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest did no help,

I ran with the --skip-broken and then all these files are skipped, including new kernel.

What else can I run to install these files ?

I'm doing this from the mounted DVD yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=c7-media update

You probably want to wait until you also have access to 7.4.1708/updates/

or .. at least also enable 7.3.1611/cr/

But, I would just wait on the release to hit, which should be happening in a couple hours .. though I would wait until tomorrow for all mirrors to stabilize on the final release.

Per the release notes (https://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7), you will also need to:

yum downgrade libgpod

(first)

I am running the propriatry NVIDIA driver 384.69 for GT 720 support.

If you installed it directly from nvidia, you would need to boot to runlevel 3 and rerun the NVIDIA*.run script to build against the new kernel.

If you are using the one from elrepo, not sure if they have a new one yet.

​Just to make a minor note ... ELRepo updated the kmod-nvidia (and related) package​ ​s as soon as RHEL 7.4 came out. :-)​

if I do "init 3" to exit graphics. then run startx - it does not start - but the only message (no errors) is Server terminated successfully.

You can check the /var/log/Xorg.0.log to get some clues

I have a test machine with an NVIDIA card .. let me see if the proprietary NVIDIA driver works on this for 7.4.

I have an NVidia GeForce GT218 card on my workstation, with a twin monitor. Updated everything to CentOS 1708, and the kmod-nvidia-340xx driver works perfectly.

Cheers,

Niki

In order to use the proprietary NVIDIA driver, you will need to disable the nouveau driver in the initrd.

On the plus side, the nouveau driver seems to work just fine for me to drive two 1920x1080 displays attached to my nvidia card via HDMI. Do you absolutely need the NVIDIA driver?

Admittedly, the card in that particular machine is not very new (GeForce GT 710B), but I don't see a compelling reason to shift to the NVIDIA drivers for this test box as everything nouveau seems to be working.

I'm sure I could likely get a bit better frame rates for graphical intensive things, but if you are doing that, and if nouveau works with your chipset and card, I would consider it.

https://kaischroed.wordpress.com/howto-install-nvidia-driver-on-fedora-repla...

That is basically how to remove the nouveau driver, except you will need to follow the instructions to use grub2 instead of grub in the comments .. or see if you can find a guide for CentOS Linux 7.

That is like an oxymoron ;-) You can not recompile NVIDIA binary driver, you don't have source code for it. All you have is a binary compiled at NVIDIA, and small piece of code for interface between that driver and kernel. This is what you are recompiling when doing that with NVIDIA binary driver: interface between driver and kernel.

You phrase made my day, thank you!

So graphics comes up - just when I click on the user - it restarts.

The ELrepo driver works very well for me with CentOS 7.4.1708 on a Dell Precision M6700. Here's what I have: ++++++ [lowen@localhost ~]$ nvidia-detect -v Probing for supported NVIDIA devices... [10de:11be] NVIDIA Corporation GK104GLM [Quadro K3000M] This device requires the current 384.59 NVIDIA driver kmod-nvidia [lowen@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa|grep nvidia nvidia-x11-drv-384.69-2.el7.elrepo.x86_64 nvidia-detect-384.59-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 yum-plugin-nvidia-1.0.2-1.el7.elrepo.noarch pcp-pmda-nvidia-gpu-3.11.8-7.el7.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-384.69-1.el7_4.elrepo.x86_64 [lowen@localhost ~]$

(nvidia-detect hasn't yet been updated to .69......) The ELrepo team does a great job with this driver; unless you have a compelling need to rebuild it yourself (I hesitate to say 'recompile' as, well, there's very little to actually compile) you should investigate using the ELrepo.org modules that make these sorts of updates much easier. Thanks ELrepo for the modules; thanks CentOS project for the rebuilt OS.

The ELrepo nvidia driver handles the nouveau disabling as well; it's seamless, and works. The only caveat is when your card goes to the legacy driver, at which time you'll have to install the legacy version; ELrepo builds those too.

​Right, and one other aspect of ELRepo's kmod package is that it survives kernel updates silently. With Nvidia's script, you need to run it upon every kernel update.​
