Post by zethro » 2018/11/24 21:37:18

Because of Several problems, i decided to update NVidia driver(my graphic-card:GTX-960).

After uninstalling NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-384.111.run, updated to NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-410.73.run

Installing from nvidia's run file is discouraged. Use the rpms from elrepo instead.

kmod-nvidia has a lots of critical conflicts with some rpms. even, the NVDIA driver from manufacturer has a problem with Gnome Display Manager. :roll: :roll:

First I've ever heard of that. Are you sure you're not trying to mix and match different repos that provide different kmod-nvidia packages?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

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

Overall, when two RPM-packages say that they do not like each other, that is a Good Thing. The .run "source" install does not even know to warn you, no matter how critical conflict it introduces.

If rpm X "has conflict" with rpm Y, then rpm Y "has conflict" with rpm X too.
I would rather blame the "some rpms" for introducing a mess with everyone else.


/var/log has logs from kernel, X11, and display manager.

The current elrepo offering is made for CentOS-7.6 and until that's released, will have problems. However, I believe you can get the last release from ElRepo, which shouldn't have those problems.

http://mirrors.maine.edu/elrepo/elrepo/el7/x86_64/RPMS/

You want (if you're running 7.5)
kmod-nvidia-410.73-1.el7_5.elrepo.x86_64
nvidia-x11-drv-410.73-1.el7_5.elrepo.x86_64
