Hi Free, You wrote:
"/etc/apt/sources.list should be already set up (hardy + hardy-update +hardy-backports), please let me know if that's not the case." The sources seem to be fine now, The first time I checked Synaptic all that was listed was the stuff from the installation CD. I forget what I did, but later the repos were there. No fear, I'm sure it was something silly on my part. "you can get the kernel source by installing the linux-source-2.6.29 package." I installed those sources, but nVidia's binary installer didn't seem to like them. Synaptic simply downloaded a bzip'd tarball and put it in /usr/src. I unzipped the package and left everything as-is, but the nVidia installer complained about version.h and the sources not being configured. :( I also tried to download the linux-headers-2.6.29-1-multimedia-amd64 package via Synaptic but receive this error: Depends: linux-kbuild-2.6.29 but it is not available. Any suggestions ? I'd also like to know how to designate and activate the open-source nv driver. I should mention that the video chipset here is an 8200M that has not been explicitly supported until nVidia's most recent driver release. According to what I've found on Google the nv driver might work with the chipset. I know the nVidia binary works, it's used for the 8.10 partition on the same machine. Again, sorry for the multiple sends. My mailer defaults to a return address not subscribed to the list, and I forget to change it. Best, dp _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
