NVIDIA driver install - Error: Unable to find the kernel source tree......

[r083rt]

why did you mess with xorg if the driver was the right one there should be no need to edit the config file
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree8...-270.41.06.run 32 bit
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree8...-270.41.06.run 64 bit

there the drivers if you need them for x86 and x64


reinstall the driver and log out and log back in the driver should be loaded and working if it is update me and we can continue from there
dont mess with any config file till i know whats going on with the card

thanks

hi r083rt again.
i'm tried http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree8...-270.41.06.run driver. the error still..I‘m quickly lost confidence.

I think the problem is that i have two graphicses. in the windows7 if i want to install nVidia driver must be install the intel's driver befor.
Or the problem is that becuase why i can't see the nVidia card's Product Series.

If so that There was nothing I had！！

if you are runing bt5 in virtual box within windows 7 u need to install virtualboxs tools or if you are using vmware vmtools for it to work

The BT5 has been installed on my hard disk with dual boot.

That is because the software sources is not available, Synaptic package manager is disabled by default on BT5, you need to : apt-get synaptic.
But be careful dont mess around with Software Sources, dont activate anything or any extra updates.
Good luck

give these drivers a go if you are still having problems

http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-d...30-driver.html

those 270 wasted a good two hours of my time until i tried the 173's.

[calmiptbull]

i did it like that
first i have downloaded nvidia driver from http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index5.aspx?lang=en-us

u have to find right driver it is most important

2.step
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

3.step ( u will get blacklist open then just copy this in it....i did it on top of the page )
blacklist vga16fb
blacklist nouveau
blacklist rivafb
blacklist nvidiafb
blacklist rivatv

4.step (remove old drivers)
sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-*

5.step
Reboot your computer


after that it will say that it cant find screen...dont be scared, get in console....u cant use startx but use ls and go with cd to the file u saved nvidia drivers....
root@bt:-$ ls
Downloads desktop
root@bt:-$ cd desktop (or whatever folder u downloaded drivers)
root@bt:-folderwithdrivers$ sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-195.36.24-pkg2.run
