CentOS 7 Geforce 9800GT Nvidia driver 340.106 Installation Error

Post by trisun11 » 2018/05/24 15:00:19

Hello! Please help me :)
I've got ERROR: Installation has failed.
Commands that I used
# yum update
# reboot
# yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r) gcc

Blacklist nouveau driver
# echo 'blacklist nouveau' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
# dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) --force
# systemctl disable gdm
# reboot

then moved in the download folder as root in console
and ran
# bash NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.106.run
Verifying archive integrity... OK
Uncompressing NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86_64-340.106..................
After installer launches I accepted agreement and got error.
Log file and snapshot attached

We recommend using the ELRepo repackaged nvidia driver not the installer that nvidia provide. The ELRepo copy survives most kernel updates, the installer survives none. Google ELRepo, install their elrepo-release package, install their nvidia-detect package, run nvidia-detect and then install the kmod-nvidia* package that it recommends. You'll want to uninstall the installer copy first though.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
