Re: Stripes on screen after installing Fedora

I have now tried all your examples, but to no luck. The errors was as follows:

1a. [errno 4] I0Error: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')> Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository updates. Please verify path and try again

b) vesa resolution..
Nothing happened, and the use of f7 does not work, but that it has newer done! Will the redolution be there after reboot? (As that is the only way for me to enter graphic mode).

2a) No such file or directory!!

b) yum -y install...
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-f9&arch=x86-64 error was [Errno 4] I0Error <urlopen error (-3 'Temporary failurr in name resolution')>

About the "Remove the xorg.conf and create a new one with nvidia utils..." I have no idea on how to do that.. But I suspect that it cannot be done without me beeing able to download the nvidia driver anyway..

I really am stuck now, and is almost tempted to rip out the nvidia card and go without it, but not tempted enough yet;)

Kind regards:

Hello.
I have a serious problem with (all) Linux distributions included
Fedora. After installing or use of live dvd, I cannot see anything but stripes on my screen. I have a pentium 4 with 1GB RAM and Nvidia card.
I have tried to install the latest Nvidia driver, but to no help at
all. I have tried many versions of Linux, and also both the i386 and
the one for 64, but all with the same result!!!

Hello,

You don't mention the Fedora version, but, assuming that you are trying to install F9 I can tell you that I had similar issues regarding nvidia cards (only with F9). I'm also assuming that you nvidia card is a relatively a new
one IOW it wont need the nvidia-legacy package.

As a first, you can try to update all your system (latest xorg- packages make difference), also you need to install the livna nvidia drivers and then
install the kmod-nvidia package.

1. as root do (you can do this in a text console):

 # yum -y update && reboot

once that computer has rebooted the graphics mode probably is now working ok, if not, then do the following command to try to set a graphics mode with
a vesa driver:

# system-config-display --reconfig --set-driver=vesa --set- resolution=1024x768

2. even if you don't have graphics mode yet, do the following to install the
nvidia drivers from livna:

# rpm -Uvh
http://livna-dl.reloumirrors.net/fedora/9/i386/livna-release-9-1.noarch.rpm

# yum -y install kmod-nvidia && reboot

3. Now hopefully you'll have now a graphics mode running, if not we have a few
more moves:
remove the xorg.conf and create a new one with the nvidia utils:

 # rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
 # nvidia-xconfig
 # reboot

4. As last resource (if at this point you dont have a graphics mode) do:

#
system-config-display --reconfig --set-driver=nvidia --set- resolution=1024x768


5. If all fails, please don't desperate, give us more details on your
equipment and the messages that you are getting from the above procedures.


HTH
