227903 2004-04-07 08:46:00 Greetings all

Ok ages ago I updated my SuSE 8.2 install using the "YOU" (YAST Online Update) which promptly screwed all my nvidia drivers, sound, graphic and network .
After much hunting and advice,
I tried to install the source rpm for the sound and network,
I firstly tried uninstalling the original drivers i had installed via rpm -e *whatever the name of the drivers where* and it promptly told me the rpm wasn't installed in the first place.
I then compiled the Source rpm, then tried installing it, only to be told it the created modules clashed with the original modules I had installed,

so then I tried uninstalling (the rpm) again to be told that it was not installed.
So I am oficially stumped, I am sure I have specified the correct rpm (it was still in the directory I installed from)

I have the log of what i did below (sorry its big)

linux:~/Desktop # rpm --rebuild NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.src.rpm

227904 2004-04-07 08:48:00 Bugger I posted it instead of previewing it

I had something else to write about it but it has slipped my mind

Anyway any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks Nigel 		Nigel Thomson (629)
227905 2004-04-08 03:14:00 Removing an RPM takes just the name of the package, without all the version stuff at the end. :D So rpm -e NVIDIA_nforce might be the command you need.

It all gets a bit verbose when it's doing things, doesn't it? ;-) But it looks as if it's made some modules, and installed them in the right places ... (in /lib/modules/2....whatever version/kernel/drivers/...). Are the modules being loaded ? lsmod will tell you. If not, then modprobe nvnet and modprobe nvaudio then lsmod.

Does Suse want you (like RH) to use a "Find Sound/" tool to set up so you can hear sound?

dmesg | less, and tail -20 /var'log/messages are useful commands. 		Graham L (2)
