Just got a kernel update from Fedora to 3.11.1-200.fc19.x86_64. Tried to install proprietary drivers and got a build error. anyone else have the same problem? if so, any known patches or do we have to wait for nvidia to issue a new set of drivers?
There was a change in linux-3.11.1/include/linux/mm.h that broke the 325.15 driver. It doesn’t look very hard to fix but I haven’t actually tried to, as I can live with linux-3.10.11 for the time being. Hope to see a driver update from NVidia before long; they’ve been fairly prompt at catching up to linux kernel changes…
I removed NVIDIA CUDA toolkit, profiler or anything related to CUDA
and NVIDIA 325.15 installed without a hitch. Not sure if I really
needed CUDA but everything seems to be working fine. The only difference
is that my NVIDIA 325.15 came from ppa:xorg-edgers repository.
I did the install of the 325.15-custom, and it does work for the most part. My problem is that my attempts to use the Adobe Acrobat reader fail.
As far as I can tell this is because the NVIDIA installer puts 64 bit binaries in the /lib directory, and the acrobat reader is a 32 bit binary. I had to re-install the mesa-libGL package and link it up to libGL.so.1 for things to work properly. Has anyone else had this problem?
I am running Fedora 19 and would like to install akmod-nvidia rpm. Current revision is 331.20-3.fc19
Has anybody tried to use the rpmrebuild tool to patch the driver? As the patch consists to add just four lines. Does anybody know if it would work and how to do it?
