Today Karl Larsen did spake thusly:
I had nvidia running fine on this computer using the kmod-nvidia
files that come from fedora. Then I was told about better nvidia
software from their web site. I got it and tried to install it on
this computer. It did not install and it ruined the older nvidia.
If you install stuff over existing stuff it'll most likely
break...what you appear to have done is installed the livna
kmod-nvidia package and its dependencies and then installed the nvidia
binary installer over this
I find init has nvidia in it and it comes up broken. It writes
FAILED in red letters on bootup. It complains it can't find a python
config file and it is not there, I checked.
You've probably overwritten some of the yum installed files with
nvidia installer files
Now what I would really like to do is eliminate that entry in init
so I can use the newer nvidia. Failing in that I need to find out
what sets up the nvidia with the kmod-nvidia files.
yum remove kmod-nvidia (to remove the rpm version from livna)
nvidia-installer --uninstall (to remove the binary version from nvidia)
I did both of those earlier. I got a new kmod-nvidia file from the
update today. It figures because I got a new kernel yesterday.
What I want is a way to get the broken init call deleted. If I goto
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ I see the nvidia init entry and would like to
un-install it. But I do not know how to.
