Hello I've just been hit by one of the chipsets described at http://wiki.centos.org/HardwareList/RealTekRTL8111b. Because a) it does not work with the stock driver included in Centos 5.1 and b) I am very lazy and I do not like manually compiling modules each time a new kernel is installed (not to mention that I never forget anything, except for the important things which always go

Googling this (specifically the nvidia-bug-report line below) doesn't find anything. This is a server (console is text only, no GUI), so we may not need x11 nor nvidia, I dunno for sure. Thanks in advance for your thoughts. kind regards/ldv Transaction Check Error: file /usr/bin/nvidia-bug-report.sh from install of dkms-nvidia-x11-drv-185.18.14-1.nodist.rf conflicts with file from

I got the DKMS-system working and now have the Nvidia-drivers v173.08 installed (using rpmforge as suggested previously). Unfortunately this particular driver version gives me screen artifacts so as to make the screen more or less unreadable. Nvidia's proprietary drivers are now up to v180.44 and this version is fine with my test system. I really like the DKMS-system, as it enables me

I've just built the nvidia driver for my home machine for the third time and I'd like to put it into a dkms format, but I'm not entirely clear on what goes where to make this work. I googled for a good primer on dkms, but what I'm finding is essentially equivalent to the man page, which, like most Unix/Linux man pages, doesn't really tell you "how to do this from

Howdy, It appears that CentOS 5.2's support for the RTL8111B/C chip is incomplete. The wiki has some blanket statements regarding this support: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/HardwareList/CentOS5/RealTek/r1000 http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/HardwareList/RealTekRTL8111b I could dive in an make the changes *I* think need to happen but I'd like to talk to people

My OQO boxes have the AR5413 wifi chipset, so for the first time in quite a while, I again need to run madwifi. So I went looking for the dkms madwifi rpms, but could not find them. They use to be on rpmforge, as I recall. dkms is there. So have I lost some memory cells or have these rpms taken a hike?

Tonight, I tried to roll out fuse on my CentOS 4 production system. (in order to use GlusterFS) I have two identical servers, and one took, the other didn't. How simple could this be? # yum install yum-plugin-priorities # yum install rpmforge-release # yum install fuse dkms-fuse both of these seem to work. Yet I run [root at kepler drivers]# modprobe fuse FATAL: Module fuse not

Why??? I was/am running kernel 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 I did a yum update and watched 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5xen and 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5PAE being installed, with PAE listed first in my /boo/grub/menu.lst I also see: Installing: kmod-fuse i686 2.7.4-1.el5.rf rpmforge 26 k replacing dkms-fuse.noarch 2.7.4-1.nodist.rf kmod-fuse-PAE i686

Alan, I knew of the Dell article, as I have all of those saved for reference. [1] I was just wondering if you knew of any that were for someone knew to Linux. You know the Microsoft type tutorials that have screenshot with them. That's the question I get asked a lot of times from around my home area. In turn when these users that are new to Linux they get discouraged when they can't

Hi - I'm trying to get wireless running on CentOS 4.7 on a dual core laptop (latitude-e4500) for an employee. I'm having trouble with building dkms-ndiswraper-1.54-1.el4.rf - enclosed are the errors messages. The kernel was rebuilt to disable CONFIG_4KSTACKS. The errors prior to rebuilding the kernel are identical to the errors after rebuilding the kernel and rebooting - minus the error

Hi, What's the best (cleanest, easiest, whatever) way to install the proprietary NVidia driver on CentOS 5.5 ? Usually I'm using the RPMForge 3rd party repo and compile the odd missing package myself from a Fedora SRPM. But the nvidia packages look a bit like a mess. DKMS has errors in the startup script (looking for a nonexistent log_action_msg and the likes), so I wonder if it's

This morning I noticed that my (new in July) monitor was behaving strangely. At first, it was odd parts of web page graphics that didn't show up unless I scrolled up and down in the window, and then they weren't displayed with any consistency. Then I noticed that the screensaver failed to appear (computer was locked, but graphics never showed on the monitor). I tried running mplayer to

]# yum install audacity --enablerepo=*\rpmforge Was this not going to be fixed for dep resolution. I'm not on the rpmforge list and remember this issue from a while ago. 14:02:18 : Error in Dependency Resolution 14:02:18 : Missing Dependency: libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.6.so.0 is needed by package audacity Missing Dependency: libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0 is needed by package audacity Missing Dependency:

This is probably a dumb question, but I've looked around and I can't find anything on this. I'm using ntfs-3g now, from rpmforge, to access my M$ Window$ disks for offline backup and other such menial tasks, and I noticed that the ntfs file systems are not mounted automatically, but I have to mount them manually as ntfs-3g devices. I _thought_ when I installed the whole dkms-fuse and

I rebuilt my notebook that has the atheros card in it, and forgot to save all of my setup to get it working. I am using dkms and the madwifi rpms from rpmforge. My modprobe.conf has a line: alias wifi0 ath_pci I can ifconfig wifi0 up But the command: /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant -dd -D madwifi -i wifi0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf fails. Now some of my old

Hi guys - brand new 5.1 install here and quite happy - but... The nv driver did not work at all for me, fritzy stripes and dots. This is a GeForce 7300 LE which was working happily dual-head under FC6 with the livna nvidia RPMs So I looked around and it seemed like the ATRpms repo via yum was the best option for CentOS. This is what I installed, it worked great with the xorg.conf from the

Ralph, http://wiki.centos.org/Nvidia_Graphics_on_CentOS I need edit rights for this page or do you prefer us to use http://wiki.centos.org/HardwareList/NvidiaDriver and finish that up. It is under the CentOS 4 section also. There is going to be three different ways to do the nvidia install. As in 3 different driver installs. We can create and use the new page and let be none public until it is

This is a new Centos 5.1 install on a HP nc2400 (that use to run XP). Completely clean install; blew away the XP partitions... After applying all the updates, and configuring for the rpmforge repo, I used yumex to install dkms and the dkms-ipw3945, ipw3945-firmware, and ipw3945d rpms. lsmod|grep ipw shows: ipw3945 180391 1 ieeee80211 33417 1 ipw3945 and dmesg)grep
