Once you have installed yum-plugin-elrepo, when repeating the above the 
package for el7.7 (kmod-nvidia-30.40-2.el7_7.elrepo.x86_64) should be 
automagically hidden until such time as CentOS 7.7 has been released.

Yes, once CentOS 7.7 is released, you will be able to update to the 
el7.7 kernel and the corresponding 
kmod-nvidia-30.40-2.el7_7.elrepo.x86_64 package built for that kernel.

In the meantime, yum-plugin-elrepo will ensure everything works as it 
should.

[CentOS] kmod-nvidia-430.40-1.el7_6.elrepo.x86_64 fails to install

[Gregory P. Ennis]

Everyone,

On August  2, my desktop unit updated with 
kmod-nvidia-430.40-1.el7_6.elrepo.x86_64nnn
which broke yum having a multiple of dependencies not being present.  I 
uninstall kmod-
dvidia with the hopes that a fresh install would fix the provlem, but it did 
not.

nvidia-detect returns :

kmod-nvidia
An Intel display controller was also detected

I was hoping that this was a repository problem that would become fixed, but I 
am still now
unable to reinstall kmod-nvidia.

Has anyone else had this problem, and does anyone have any suggestions as to 
how I might
begin a fix.  I would surely like to use my nvidia card again.

Thanks for your help!!!

Always this has "just worked".

Doing a yum update this morning I now get this:


09:15:28 : ERROR:   Package: kmod-nvidia-367.57-2.el7.elrepo.x86_64 (elrepo)
 Requires: kernel(drm_atomic_helper_plane_reset) = 0xabd4c98d
 Installed: kernel-3.10.0-327.28.2.el7.x86_64 (@updates)
 kernel(drm_atomic_helper_plane_reset) = 0xb23805db
Anyone else get this? any pointers?
TIA
Rob

Later versions of kmod-nvidia are for EL7.3 (not backward compatible).
You need to update your CentOS system using the CR repo. Or wait until
the full release of CentOS 7.3.1611 (next week?).

Ahhh - no problems, I'll await 7.3 and exclude kmod-nvidia for now.
Thanks

I've been doing:

yum --exclude=\*nvidia\*, since I'm not currently taking the CR updates.

This is a known issue.  I think you can find mention of it on the forums,
but I don't remember where I actually found mention of it. 

It has to do with what will be needed when 7.3 comes along.  
Ah here's the link.

Um this morning my rsync mirror script grabbed the package tree from 
kernel.org mirror - is that an accidental release?

[CentOS] kmod-nvidia problems

The problem is that you do not ONLY need kmod-nvidia ... you also need
nvidia-x11-drv from elrepo ... however, you only have
includepkgs=kmod-nvidia in your config, so the requirements of
nvidia-x11-drv can not be met.  If you add nvidia-x11-drv to your
includepkgs line, it should work fine.

Unfortunately, there's something odd between my user's machine and CentOS
and kmod-nvidia - he started getting weird messages he'd never seen
before, so I had to uninstall it (after all that work), and go back to
building using the proprietary installer.

*sigh*

[CentOS] kmod-nvidia?

I just went to install kmod-nvidia on a 64-bit CentOS 6.2 system... and
enabling elrepo, yum can't find it. There's a page for it, but that was
last updated last year, and there are also references to packages for
older Nvidia cards, but not the current.

You seem to have missed the fact that Nvidia sucks :)

At least on our elrepo mirror site there are recent kmod-nvidia 
packages. The Package kmod-nvidia-295.59-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm is just 
a few days old.
Maybe your yum configuration went bad?

Ok, build the driver using the proprietary package, and he's back up.

Well, *after* I ran nvidia-xconfig, since there was no xorg.conf, and
nothing in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, which created /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Now that he's up, which was my highest priority, I'm back to looking
around. I did a yum clean all, then yum --enablerepo=elrepo list
\*nvidia\*, and see
 * elrepo: mirror.symnds.com
so this was what the mirrorlist came up with. That there's something
screwy there.

So I just pointed my browser there, and found elrepo there under
distributions/elrepo. Anyone got any ideas why it finds that it's there,
but yum doesn't see the actual repo (and yes, the kmod-nvidia packages are

Just a thought, have you tried flushing yum's metadata?  I have run 
across a couple of instances where yum seems to get a bit... retentive 
and won't retrieve new metadata for one or more repositories.  I usually 
run yum clean metadata or yum clean all, then re-try the operation. 
 Unless it is something *I* have boogered badly it usually works.


Of course, YMMV!

Your attitude doesn't make it easy for folks to help you. So far you 
haven't actually provided any information that might be useful in 
determining the issue.

 Repeating my original post:

and here we see you have made modifications to the config file. I know, 
because I wrote the config file.

 and the entries for elrepo-testing, elrepo-kernel, and elrepo-extras are
 the same.


and perhaps it would have been better to simply provide what was asked 
for rather than making yet more assumptions.

The real question is why the elrepo repository is not working as 
intended for you. TBH I'm past caring as I have better things to do than 
have you waste my time when I try to help. Please don't bother 
subscribing to elrepo mailing lists.

Yeah. As you saw, I only want to enable it for kmod-nvidia, since I don't
want to get anything else from there, resulting in conflicts with the
usual repos.

Ok. Just did that, and see

  : dcb-rome elrepo epel extras rpmfusion-free-updates
  : rpmfusion-free-updates-testing rpmfusion-nonfree-updates

And all I get is:
Available Packages
nvidia-x11-drv.x86_64 295.59-1.el6.elrepo
elrepo

So I'm still where I was: I cannot figure out why I see nvidia-x11-drv,
and not the kmod itself.

Oh, well, I was just showing my manager the problem, and his reaction is
to ask whether it's worth wading through filelists.xml; he prefers I just
d/l the package(s) to our local repo, which is what I guess I'll have to
do, then write an automated script to rsync it every so often, maybe a
cron job

Thanks anyway.

Blimey, you have lots of repos enabled.

Try --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo so that you only have the

We need some for packages not in the regular repos. Torque, for example, I

Think so. That was from my machine, where it's installed months ago. On

I see under available packages is nvidia-x11-drv. Sorry if I pasted in

Whoa, Mark.  Man, you must be tired.  The fact that your machine with the 290 
driver only sees the kmod-nvidia for 295 and does not see nvidia-x11-drv is a 
big clue.

You might want to double check the includepkgs= line on the machine you 
originally posted about (not this latest machine), and make sure that it isn't:
includepkgs=nvidia-x11-drv

I can duplicate this behavior very easily, and can duplicate the reverse 
behavior as well, by manipulating the includepkgs= line.  Here's an example 
run, from a RHEL 6.3 machine (same would apply to CentOS, just with a few 
differences in the yum output dealing with the RHN repos):

First, I edit the elrepo.repo file:

[root@www ~]# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo
[root@www ~]# grep includepkgs /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo
includepkgs=kmod-nvidia
[root@www ~]#

Ok, only kmod-nvidia.

[root@www ~]# yum --enablerepo=elrepo list \*nvidia\*
Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, rhnplugin, subscription-manager
Updating certificate-based repositories.
Unable to read consumer identity

00:00 
Available Packages
kmod-nvidia.i686  295.59-1.el6.elrepo   
elrepo
[root@www ~]#

Which is exactly what I told it to do with the includepkgs directive, and 
duplicates what you posted above (re-read your post carefully to see that I'm 
not spinning you a line, here).  Point of fact is that you can't just install 
the kmod without the X11 driver, as we'll see in a few command sequences 
below

[root@www ~]# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo
[root@www ~]# grep includepkgs /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo
#includepkgs=kmod-nvidia
[root@www ~]#

Commented it out to double check.

[root@www ~]# yum --enablerepo=elrepo list \*nvidia\*

They're all there.

[root@www ~]# grep includepkgs /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo

[root@www ~]# grep includepkgs /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo
includepkgs=nvidia-x11-drv kmod-nvidia

Ok, now this is what you really want.
