Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has installed successfully the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762 video drivers on the Easter RC4 edition. I had a go and broke it.
I managed to break it even more attempting to fix it 
I would have posted the errors I got here but like I said I totally broke it beyond fixing.
Any info greatly appreciated.
Max. |

hi max11max,
i did a dist-upgrade (easter-rc4) 2 days ago, and afterwards i installed nvidia with (in init3)
Code:
update-scripts-kanotix.sh && install-nvidia-debian.sh
no problems with video (even installed doom3, getting nice fps with my old gf3)
Code:
phen@k-Box:~$ infobash -v
Host/Kernel/OS "k-Box" running Linux 2.6.16.16-kanotix-1 i686 [ KANOTIX 2006 Easter ]
CPU Info AMD Athlon 64 3000+ clocked at [ 1000.000 MHz ]
Videocard nVidia NV20 [GeForce3] X.Org 7.0.0 [ 1024x768 @60hz ]
Processes 95 | Uptime 6:27 | Memory 483.332/501.984MB | HDD Size 373GB (84%used) | GLX Renderer GeForce3/AGP/SSE2/3DNOW! | GLX Version 1.5.6 [b]NVIDIA 87.62[/b] | Client Shell | Infobash v2.50rc12
you can also use the install-abililty of the kanotix-control-center - always worked for me ... |

Hi phen,
How did you do the dist update cos I have attempted this twice but it fails half way through? I was using the gui to do a safe update. I broke 2 installs
What steps did you do to prepare ? and what command did you use to do the update ?
regards,
Max. |

Hi max11max
First, make sure your sources are good, open a terminal, type (copy & paste)
wget -O/etc/apt/sources.list http://kanotix.com/files/fix/sources.list
apt-get update
Then
Ctrl+Alt+F1
logon as root
type init 3
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
run fix-fonts
run update-scripts-kanotix.sh
install-nvidia-debian.sh
if dist-upgrade gets stuck somewhere
apt-get -f install
If you get errors please post them |

max, if you have broken 2 installs doing a dist-upgrade, then use this:
http://techpatterns.com/forums/about736.html
Also see this thread for more on dist-upgrade:
http://kanotix.com/index.php?name=PNphp ... mp;t=19055
However, in general, you should not be doing a dist-upgrade until you understand how to do it correctly, which you currently don't. And understand the risks.
that's a dist-upgrade script. It won't let you make any of the mistakes you made each time, for example trying to du in a gui etc.
Make sure to read what the script tells you as it runs through. |

h2,
Thanks for the information, I was following advice from a friend in relation to my upgrade attempts, I guess I should have come here 1st.
I'll give the script a go, then I'll read up on the proper upgrade procedure. With the help of this forum I guess I'll not be breaking my installs again 
Thanks again to all who posted.

max, if you follow the script, what it forces you to do, you'll learn the proper upgrade procedure in the process.
For example, first try starting it as a normal user, not root
then try starting it in kde
and so on. |

h2's script is good and works, I also posted the proper dist-upgrade procedure. In kanotix it is highly recommened that you do a dist-upgrade than a upgrade. |

piper,
I did something similar to your advice but I think my source was incorrect and downloaded the updates from god knows where!
Now I know better I wont make the same mistakes again.
Thanks,

| It will probably be much easier for you to use h2's script, till you get a little comfortable with linux and then start using a terminal |
