Hi Unman, Thanks for that suggestion. I was able to download the matching kernel-devel. And with it, complete the instructions to compile the nvidia module. (Unfortunately, didn't make a difference for the system I'm trying to run qubes on. So I still have something to figure out.) Do you happen to know why `qubes-dom0-update` doesn't find the repo you refered to automatically? It's enabled in /etc/yum.repos.d/qubes-dom0.repo. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
