cd / usr / src / linux: No such file or directory [nvidia drivers] [yast]

Q: Hi, my

Im try to install after installing xine.

Ive these drivers installed twice before, but ive never had this problem, can anyone assist?

this is what im doing

init 3 – to get out of X
then log in as root
then types:-
cd / she says this usr/src/linux
and cd / usr / src / linux /: No such file or directory

Ive installed make and gcc and I run SuSE 9.1 Pro


Best Answer: "Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/software-center" (No such file or directory)"

Means either:
1.you deleted the file inside that location.
2.you downloaded it corrupt.
3.There is no file in that location.
4.Your computer cannot open the file in that directory.

Best solution:

uninstall everything and re-download.

Re:Hi ,

Yeah thats what i did at first but everytime i install the nVidia package from YOU my system freezes when it tries to start X .

I get as far as the login screen and then nuthing the login splashscreen just freezes something to do with enabling OpenGL/3D , so i started doing it from the .tar download , thats the only way ive been able to get 3D enabled to play UT2004 .

also [ i dont know if i still need to do this ] the last time i had to go and change the XF86Config. file to change "nv" to "nvidia" . and then add some a line to detect "AGP"

I didnt really know exactly what i was doing but It finally worked :)

Re: should have an nVidia driver package available for download and install. It did on the last SuSE 9.1 machine I setup.

It doesn't install by default, but just fire up , look at the software updates and you should see "nVidia" or "" in the list. Check the box, say install, sit back, wait, and reboot. Done.

Re:damn , something else has to be done it says ?
I never done any this the last 2 time i installed these drivers .

It says :-

make [1] : *** [ check-meta ] error 1
make : *** [ cloneconfig ] Error 2

The .config file is a merged configuration.Please remove it by hand before creating your own.
You can use one of the files arch/i386defconfig.* as a template .

I have no idea what this means .

EDIT : I think i know why now , i have to do the YastOnlineUpdate and get the patches , thats the only other thing that i done the last times and it went fine there

Re:I think you need the kernel sources. And despite the README in the driver sources, people usually put them in /usr/src, and symlink /usr/src/linux to the driver src directory (/usr/src/linux-KERNEL_VERSION).
