Re: Suggestion to simplify initial kmod-nvidia install (w/script correction)

Thx for the suggestion, this message has been forwared on the "RPM Fusion developers discussion list" for public audience. Please answear there instead.(once subscribed). Few answears: - setsebool will not be needed anymore (exept for the nvidia-smi binary on x86 which is only used for tesla hardware). - Creating a separate initramfs is probably the way to go. But I wonder if that could be implemented as a dracut plugin instead, and then generalised to others alternate proprietary drivers. - There is improvements needed for a new packaging scheme that will split installation and usage for proprietary driver. (it doesn't mean the driver is installed that the driver is meant to be used). 2009/11/28 Walter Francis <wally(a)theblackmoor.net&gt;: > Bleh, just discovered that redhat-lsb is not installed in all paths, so > probably better to use /etc/rpm/macros.dist to get the release number... > Sorry for the spam, just didn't want to leave you with something that > would be broken on Live installs. > > BTW, someone mentioned that the sebool stuff is probably better done > outside of a postinstall script, but I'm no spec writer so I leave that > up to you. ;-) Just suggestions here on what would be very nice to have > done, how it's actually done is better decided by you. :) Unless I find > any other glaring mistakes I'll stop spamming you, hope I haven't been a > bother. > > #!/bin/sh > > if getsebool allow_execstack | grep -q off; then > setsebool -P allow_execstack on > fi > > # create new initrd/initramfs if necessary > if lsmod | grep -q nouveau; then > release=$(awk '/^%fedora/{print$2}' /etc/rpm/macros.dist) > if [ $release -gt 11 ]; then > # use new-kernel-pkg to create the initramfs and create a > new boot entry (see below) > /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --mkinitrd --dracut > --initrdfile=/boot/initramfs-`uname -r`-nvidia.img > --banner="Fedora NVidia" --make-default --install `uname -r` > fi > if [ $release -lt 12 ]; then > # non-dracut, use initrd filename, no --dracut > /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --mkinitrd > --initrdfile=/boot/initrd-`uname -r`-nvidia.img > --banner="Fedora NVidia" --make-default --install `uname -r` > fi > fi > > -- > Walter Francis > > khayts.us > theblackmoor.net > unlimitedphoto.com
