Linux install of CUDA toolkit for GT 430 card, maybe… - Page 4

Alright, I said 'no' to 'abort install?' (i.e. force-continue) ... that gave

ERROR: Unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running kernel. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for
your kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' or
'kernel-devel' RPM installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the
'--kernel-source-path' command line option.

which had just 'ok' as an option, which leads to

ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation
problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.

So you apparently don't have the kernel headers installed. Install what they suggest and try again.

Possibly, as root:

apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

The first thing I did [following the recipe described here] was

apt-get install linux-headers-'uname -r'

That gave "E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-uname -r"

Aha - Mike's version has upper-left-to-lower-right-slanting `, whereas mine had standard single-quote ' - with the former it works.

Should I retry the last .run execution now?

Those are back quotes. Its been a long time since I've worked on a debian based system with apt-get package manager, but the default

Code:

apt-get install linux-headers

will probably fetch the correct ones.

Edit: Ah, I see you already figured it out. Yeah, go ahead. My guess is that it willl build, but not load. But maybe I'm wrong.

Kernek modules now build ... and I get this:

Install NVIDIA's 32-bit compatibility OpenGL libraries?

Yes or no?

owftheevil · 2014-07-18, 04:28

I don't use them, but I'm not really sure what they are for.

I'll take that as a "sure, why not?" Next screen is

Would you like to run the nvidia-xconfig utility to automatically update your X configuration file so that the NVIDIA X driver will be used when
you restart X? Any pre-existing X configuration file will be backed up.

Is that relevant to my cmd-line-only setup?

owftheevil · 2014-07-18, 04:36

No its not relevant

Alright, we have success - at least of the final .run-file-based setup step:

Installation of the NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86_64 (version: 319.37) is now complete. Please update your XF86Config or xorg.conf file as appropriate; see the file /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README.txt for details.

Offline 'til tomorrow - thanks for all the help, guys!
