I've installed R5V30.2 now a few times and am having major problems. Right off the bat, the dependencies are broken for me. It'll download all of the updates, install most, but then break. Here is what I get after that with apt-get upgrade:
Code: root@mythtv:/usr/src# apt-get upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libxvmc-dev: Depends: libxvmc1 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10.1unichrome30.1) but 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
root@mythtv:/usr/src# apt-get -f install
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Correcting dependencies... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
libxvmc-dev
The following packages will be upgraded:
libxvmc-dev
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 218 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B/279kB of archives.
After unpacking 197kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
(Reading database ... 65132 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libxvmc-dev 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10.1unichrome30.1 (using .../libxvmc-dev_6.9.0.dfsg.1-4_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libxvmc-dev ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libxvmc-dev_6.9.0.dfsg.1-4_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/lib/libXvMCW.a', which is also in package libxvmcw1-dev
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libxvmc-dev_6.9.0.dfsg.1-4_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I have tried manually fixing the dependency (installing libxvmc1 version 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10.1unichrome30.1), but as soon as I do an upgrade, it's broken again. At first I thought I had a messed up .iso, so I redownloaded and checked the MD5 sum this time, and the sum matched - but it's still broken
Has anyone had a similar problem with this version or is it just me? Should I try an older version of KnoppMyth?
Thanks,
Adam

you don't have to do an apt-get upgrade to install knoppmyth, as a matter of fact for reasons you have found out it is not recommended. An older version will only make it worse. Maybe you should try posting what it is you are really trying to accomplish in another thread, As if you are to the point of being able to run apt-get install it is not an "installation" issue anymore since the install script is done and that's really what this section of the forum is for.

I posted it as an install question because it happened immediately after I did the install - I had done nothing else, just tried to do an update (so that I could attempt to get my Nvidia geforce 2 card working). I am not using apt-get to install KnoppMyth - I am installing from the .iso posted on this site.
I haven't tried KnoppMyth since, I believe, R2, but I had it working fine then.

the nvidia drivers should automagically get installed if you have a nvidia card installed. no need to touch apt-get.
if they don't then all you have to do is run install-nvidia-versionnumber.sh

And they do - but they don't work with my old geforce 2 - X doesn't even start. I was going to try older versions of the drivers. I tried install-nvida-6629.sh and it didn't work either.

then run the install-nvidia-6629-debian.sh command and it will install the 6629 drivers which should work for all nvidia cards. that's why they were left in there. also if you could report the lspci for your nvidia card, so the install script can be updated to exclude it that would be good. I know the old tnt cards have already been accounted for.

When I run that script, the computer locks up (blank screen, keyboard stops working). I'll do an lspci after class.

when you get the blank screen try ctrl+alt+F2 to see if you get a console. Sometimes the nvidia drivers are just a bit more ticky about refresh rates and such than the nv drivers.

Nope, can't switch consoles or anything - num lock, etc don't work, either. It locks hard...
Here is the lspci line corresponding to the card:
Code: 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 [GeForce2 GTS/Pro] (rev a4) Here is an excerpt from the X log from the initial startup: Code: (**) NVIDIA(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32
(==) NVIDIA(0): RGB weight 888
(==) NVIDIA(0): Default visual is TrueColor
(==) NVIDIA(0): Using gamma correction (1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
(--) NVIDIA(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xD8000000

(EE) NVIDIA(0): The NVIDIA kernel module does not appear to be receiving

Moderators: If you want, move this into General Knoppmyth, please.

You can create a custom copy of that script to install an arbitrary version on the Nvidia drivers. See the thread on the 8174 version for details. I would start from the 6629 one rather than the 7174 used in the example.
