You did do: 2) Open a terminal and type "sudo slapt-get --update" then "sudo slapt-get -i kernel-source" (especially the second command), didn't you ?tklamb64 wrote:Right after accepting the license it gives me this: Error: The kernel header file
'/lib/modules/3.10.17/build/include/linux/version.h' does not exist. The most likely reason for this is that the kernel source files in '/lib/modules/3.10.17/build' have not been configured.
OK, no idea what's wrong. My best advice would be to do a complete fresh install of Salix, do the initial udate, then carefully follow the instructions above. If that doesn't work, I give up, they've work for me every time, with no problems since Salix 13.37 (unless I've typed a mistake, but I don't see one)tklamb64 wrote:Yes, I did....

ls /var/log/packages/kernel*That looks right. The problem is indeed that the file /lib/modules/3.10.17/build/include/linux/version.h is not there. Could it be that the nvidia proprietary driver you're trying to install is too old and hasn't been updated for more recent kernels? In that case you might try your luck with an alternative free nvidia driver:tklamb64 wrote:tklamb64[/]$ ls /var/log/packages/kernel*

Just a small comment here: you don't need to install java, because java (openjre) is already installed.tklamb64 wrote:I can't even get the java to install properly...says the link is broken and target doesn't exist but it does....
I don't know what version of the nvidia driver he's trying to install, but the link I gave him was for 304.something, which is fairly old. He could try a newer driver from the site (they're up to 340.something last time I checked), I provided that link/version because that's what google/nvidia said was the proper driver for his card/chip.gapan wrote:Could it be that the nvidia proprietary driver you're trying to install is too old and hasn't been updated for more recent kernels?
