Installation issues / MD Setup NVIDIA Driver Issues
« on: January 17, 2010, 12:15:59 pm »
Hi,
I have been playing around with 8.10 beta2 for a bit an decided to
use my main PC as a MD (For testing purposes).
I wanted to test how well my hardware woud run on a diskless boot.
More specifically the optical output.
I ran the /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh script and after it completed
I plugged my PC into the subnetwork for pluto.
All worked fine in terms of creation of the diskless boot files on pluto,
however when I rebooted and went through the start up sequence
It wanted to do a driver install for my 8800GT Nvidia card.
It appeard to download some packages and wanted to reboot,
However it went through the exact same cycle of wanting to install
the driver
The screen roll is quite fast but I can see that it's unable to resolve archive.ubuntu.com,
and there are serveral lines like this.
I did a fresh install of the core, thinking my previous tinkering may have broken somethin, I also diabled the firewall.
But the issue is still there.
Is ther somthing I need to do on the core to make this work, or can i install the driver on the
diskless partition from the core.
The core has a 6600 Nvidia card with the driver installed from the restriced driver section of Kubuntu,
installed prior to the MCE build scrip
TIA
