Bug ID: 60775 Summary: Installing NVIDIA proprietary drivers on kernel 3.10.7-100.fc18.x86_64 errors out . . . can't find kernel source files Product: Drivers Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: Linux 3.10.7-100.fc18.x86_64 SMP Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Tree: Fedora Status: NEW Severity: high Priority: P1 Component: Video(DRI - non Intel) Assignee: drivers_video-dri@kernel-bugs.osdl.org Reporter: letourneau.ryan@gmail.com Regression: No
Trying to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.32.run proprietary drivers on kernel 3.10.7-100.fc18.x86_64 does not work. Error;
"The kernel header file '/usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h' does not exist. The most likely reason for this is that the kernel source files in '/usr/src/linux' have not been configured."
All necessary source rpms are installed ;
kernel-headers-3.10.7-100.fc18.x86_64 kernel-devel-3.10.7-100.fc18.x86_64
and all dependencies.
Also downloaded kernel source rpm and installed but did not resolve issue;
yumdownloader --source kernel rpm -ivh kernel-3.10.7-100.fc18.src.rpm
Tried solution here; http://moldvan.com/blog/?p=824
Did not resolve issue when linking /usr/include/linux/version.h to /usr/src/kernels/`uname -r`/include/linux/version.h
But once linked, this error pops up;
"If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel installed on your system. If you specified a separate output directory using either the \”KBUILD_OUTPUT\” or the \”O\” KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option."
The NVIDIA proprietary driver does successfully build on kernel 3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64.
Tried uninstalling kernel-headers and kernel-devel rpms and re-installing, did not resolve issue.
Expected results would be, for the NVIDIA proprietary drivers to find correct kernel sources, and successfully build and install driver module.
