apt-get purge $(dpkg -l | awk '/nvidia/{print $2}') && apt-get install nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver nvidia-vdpau-driver libxvmcnvidia1



Hi,

using this, gives me (translated free):

Code: [Select]
Unmatching Nvidia-Kernel Module loaded
The Nvidia driver installed (Version 325.15) does not match the actually loaded Nvidia kernel Module (Version 304.108)

...


This seems to me strange, as the 304 was on the way to get installed.
Is this a question of repo setting?

No. AFAICT.

I saw the same message when I downgraded the driver.

To me it seems the transition form nvidia-driver=304.108-1 to nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver didn't provide packages with clean dependencies/conflicts between each other:
http://forum.siduction.org/index.php?msg=32398#32398

For mixed versions of nvidia packages have a look at:
 
Code: [Select]
dpkg -l | grep nvidia
To me it seems somewhat insane to have packages from different versions (304/325) which is why I downgraded manually nvidia-vdpau-driver.

Ok, you can't code, but you still might be able to write a bug report for Debian's sake

@mylo I had the same problem with a GF Go 7300, and I was not able to ever get that command to replace the driver.  I manually purged every nvidia* and  libglx* and xserver-xorg-* package from my system, then (after a reboot) installed only nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver and nvidia-vdpau-driver, and they pulled in their needed dependencies, including libxvmcnvidia1.  I have not installed nvidia-settings on that laptop.

Hi dibl,

I followed your instruction. At the end a blue backgrounded message appears saying
Code: [Select]
"The driver has still to be configured in xorg.conf before being able to using it".
I quit hitting "ok" the only option.

And then I see:

Code: [Select]
nvidia-kernel-dkms (325.15-2..) will beconfigured
Loading new nvidia-current-325.15 DKMS files...
First installation...
and so on.
Then it seems to getting installed by the hand of a ghost.
dpkg ll then sows the messed up mixture of 304 and 325.

I tried to uninstall all 325 by hand, but no success so far.

[/code]

How exactly?

You simply need to downgrade by explicitly defining the right version for each or at least some packages. It's written down here somewhere in the actual nvidia threads.

Hi michaa7,

I gave dpkg -l | grep nvidia

and purged all packs wearing 325 in the name. Now my list looks like:
Code: [Select]
ii  glx-alternative-nvidia                           0.4.0                           amd64        allows the selection of NVIDIA as GLX provider
ii  libgl1-nvidia-legacy-304xx-glx:amd64             304.108-2                       amd64        NVIDIA binary OpenGL libraries (304xx legacy version)
ii  libxvmcnvidia1:amd64                             304.108-2                       amd64        NVIDIA binary XvMC library (304xx legacy version)
ii  nvidia-installer-cleanup                         20130816+1                      amd64        cleanup after driver installation with the nvidia-installer
ii  nvidia-kernel-common                             20130816+1                      amd64        NVIDIA binary kernel module support files
ii  nvidia-legacy-304xx-alternative                  304.108-2                       amd64        allows the selection of NVIDIA as GLX provider
ii  nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver                       304.108-2                       amd64        NVIDIA metapackage (304xx legacy version)
ii  nvidia-legacy-304xx-kernel-dkms                  304.108-2                       amd64        NVIDIA binary kernel module DKMS source (304xx legacy version)
ii  nvidia-support                                   20130816+1                      amd64        NVIDIA binary graphics driver support files
ii  xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-304xx           304.108-2                       amd64        NVIDIA binary Xorg driver (304xx legacy version)


EDIT:

Code: [Select]
Graphics:  Card: NVIDIA G72 [GeForce 7300 GS]
           X.org: 1.12.4 driver: N/A tty size: 128x54 Advanced Data: N/A for root out of X



I'll try going again through the whole procedure.

Which is the right version of

Code: [Select]
# apt-cache policy nvidia-vdpau-driver
nvidia-vdpau-driver:
  Installed: 325.15-2.siduction.1


I killed it during the above described procedure.

Before I purged all nvidia*
by

apt-get remove --purge nvidia*

Hope the asterisk is fine or?

Having the wrong version of nvidia-vdpau-driver didn't make a difference, but I installed nvidia-vdpau-driver=304.108-2 nontheless.

Try something like:

Code: [Select]
apt-get install nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver=304.108-2 libxvmcnvidia1=304.108-2 libgl1-nvidia-legacy-304xx-glx=304.108-2 <and_so_on> --reinstall

Or purge all packages on your nvidia list first.

I did it in RL3! Did you?

That sounds like maybe you do not have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf file which must look like this:

Code: [Select]
#
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Device 0"
        Driver          "nvidia"
EndSection

Hi dibl,
I rebuilt thids file (rights for root ok?) but no success.
This smells like a reinstall, bah! The new box is planned for end of the year and the next install either.

Does anybody have a hint here what I can try more?

There has to be a empty line at the end, maybe that's what is missing.

It looks exactly like written above just omitting the text Leerzeile.. behind the #

Do I have to put this file after the reinstallation of 304 and vdpau? Does it confuse anything when it is there while reinstalling?
