Fix for error when building nvidia-current

When I did:
apt-get install nvidia-current

I got the following error:
Building initial module for 2.6.38

Code:

---

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 2.6.38 (x86_64)
Consult the make.log in the build directory
/var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/195.36.24/build/ for more information.
dpkg: error processing nvidia-current (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10

Errors were encountered while processing:

When looking in the mentioned make.log it said something about ioctl not found.
I fixed this by editing the file /usr/src/nvidia-current-195.36.24/nv.c and changing the line:

Code:

---

    .ioctl    = nv_kern_ioctl,

---

into:

Code:

---

    .unlocked_ioctl = nv_kern_unlocked_ioctl,

---

Then 'apt-get install nvidia-current' should work.

If not try:
dkms build -m nvidia-current -v 195.36.24
dkms install -m nvidia-current -v 195.36.24
modprobe nvidia-current

nice job bro....................!!!

Thank you so much, this worked for me.

Works fine! Thanks!:)

Thank you very much man,great job! :D

Installed BT5R1 (64bit) on thinkpad T61 worked nice and fast after installing few things like nvidia drivers etc....ssl strip is indeed installed and in /pentest/web/sslstrip

ettercap however is a different story, found out after a lot of searching found out it wont work on 64bit!!!!!!
ip4 lib errors etc
#ssl dissector error in line 70. uncommented this and error dissapears but still when sniffing the ipv4 errors. So far the only STABLE version is BT4 final, it does it all without any problems and so reliable. for me anyway. BT5r1 looks neat but so many bread and butter tools not working shame really.


32 bit version gives x-org error upon reboot of drivers for nvdia, worked fine on 64 bit. Framework3/ is now framework/ cant wait for the stable version or the bug fixes to appear.
