Hi

We have been doing a bit of research, and found that If you install the Hobbit RPM, and do not run Hobbit, the NVIDIA driver will install OK. However, if you have run Hobbit at any point, the NVIDIA driver install fails, even if you shut hobbit down.

We then tried a new machine, installed hobbit, and ran hobbit. We then disabled hobbit, so it would not run, and rebooted the machine. The NVIDIA install failed again, as below. (Log attached)

Hi all

OK, this is the strangest thing I have ever seen.

We are running Red Hat EL3 A few weeks back, we compiled hobbit into a rpm, and installed the client on this machine.

Now we are trying to update the video driver, and we get this.

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.04-pkg2.run -ans

Verifying archive integrity... OK Uncompressing NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86_64 169.04.................................................................. ........................................................................ . ERROR: Unable to create '/usr/lib/hobbit/client/tmp/selfgz8167/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.04-pkg2/u sr/lib32/libnvidia-cfg.so.169.04' for copying (No such file or directory) WARNING: Unable to restore file '/usr/lib/hobbit/client/tmp/selfgz8167/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.04-pkg2/u sr/lib32/libnvidia-cfg.so.169.04'. WARNING: Unable to perform the runtime configuration check for library 'libcuda.so.1' ('/usr/lib64/libcuda.so.169.04'); assuming successful installation.

If we remove the hobbit RPM and rename the /usr/lib/hobbit directory to something else, it works.

Has anybody seen anything like this before?
