Pharlap not installing Drivers #9

Open jimkp opened 9 years ago

jimkp commented 9 years ago

Ran the latest Pharlap after full update and reboot. No change to any preferences. It located all devices including nvidia GT240 graphics for which it offered 2 proprietary drivers. Selected to install the 304 drivers. Was asked for authentication and then a window with a progress popped up and then disappeared very quickly. Returned to unaltered Pharlap screen.

Did that popup happen the other day as well? If so that's a good thing, there's a good chance it's attempting to install an invalid package name since I do some munging when we detect nvidia devices.

I'll add some debug information to what it wants to install and remove which will assist troubleshooting further.

jimkp commented 9 years ago

I didn't notice the first time I tested but it was so fast I can't guarantee I didn't miss it.

csmart commented 9 years ago

I think in terms of nvidia the problem is the libs:

drivers_install.append('xorg-x11-drv-%s-libs.i686' % (k[5:])) # strip kmod-

Gives this on my test:

xorg-x11-drv--nvidia-libs.i686
firnsy commented 9 years ago

hmmm which would be an invalid package and possibly killing everything.

@csmart you have an nvidia to test on then?

firnsy commented 9 years ago

@jimkp, @csmart I just noticed there is actually some debug information. Could you please run pharlap from the terminal and provide the console output after you attempt to install a proprietary package.

csmart commented 9 years ago

@firnsy mendy has an nvidia card which needs 340 driver, and I can see options now for akmod-nvidia after the fix for the detection

jimkp commented 9 years ago

Output after selecting to install

Installing: akmod-nvidia-304xx, xorg-x11-drv--nvidia-304xx-libs.i686 start-build end-build start-run run-transaction end-run

Both package names are invalid, the comma break the akmod . The double "-" breaks the libs.

firnsy commented 9 years ago

@jimkp, the comma is just for aesthetics to identify the separation. it's the double - that breaks the entire command I believe.

Just pushed ad7f302 which fix the above.

Dunno if I am doing something wrong or what, but when i clone pharlap, cd into the directory and run the executable in the upstream directory, pharlap detects the nvidia gpu, allows me to select the akmod driver, authenticates, then flashes a quick abort message and hangs. I cant find any errors in journalctl. Terminal only shows the removal of a bunch of older kmod and akmod drivers for nvidia. No other messages.

jimkp commented 9 years ago

Aikidouke Have you updated the system and pharlap? Use sudo yum update --enablerepo=korora-testing pharlap pharlap-modaliases to update pharlap. Also what driver are you trying to install and what nvidia card do you have?

ghost commented 9 years ago

I have updated the system and updated pharlap to pharlap-1.3.2-1.fc21.2.noarch as recommended. I have a GeForce GT 720 and am trying to install akmod 343.36 against kernel 3.17.8-300-fc21. In gnome de. webkitgtk is at 2.4.8-1

csmart commented 9 years ago

OK there could still be issues with pharlap installing packages..

It would be good to work out why it's not working, but if you just need it working, install akmod-nvidia:

sudo yum install akmod-nvidia
jimkp commented 9 years ago

Aidouke, when you ran from the terminal did you see any errors particularly in the last few lines?

ghost commented 9 years ago

I did get the same output that other people listed, but no other errors..I will try to install the akmod package...thanks.

Same here when I try to install the drivers the checkbox fills in but when I reboot nothing changes. When I ran Pharlap in the terminal it says:

Installing: akmod-nvidia, xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686

and then nothing else. Was just working the other day what should I do.

jimkp commented 8 years ago

cblade what version of Korora and Pharlap?

csmart commented 8 years ago

@cblade a new version was pushed to k22 and k23 (pharlap-1.5.3-1), could you test that if you're not already?

sudo dnf --refresh upgrade pharlap
