It is always possible to manually create them I think they were lost while upgrading from mageia5 to mageia6, one year ago. I have 2 old mageia5, it is perhaps worthy to upgrade them to mga6, at least one of them furthermore, I've just remark that numerous links targets from /etc/alternatives to /usr/<bin,sbin,share,lib> are missing in the latter directories I don't know how to recover that If you have an idea, thank you to provide it to me (In reply to Thomas Backlund from comment #1) > They are there with the alternatives system > > $ ll /usr/bin/nvidia-smi > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 aug 21 23:40 /usr/bin/nvidia-smi -> > /etc/alternatives/nvidia_smi* > > $ ll /etc/alternatives/nvidia_smi > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 aug 21 23:40 /etc/alternatives/nvidia_smi -> > /usr/lib64/nvidia-current/bin/nvidia-smi* > > If they are not there, something has screwed up your install they are missing in /etc/alternatives of my old mageia5 too! the best is to reinstall mageia6 from zero; I am impatiently waiting for the issue of mageia6.1 sorry, but I persist to claim that the package is corrupted: I have manually created the links /usr/bin/nvidia* -> /etc/alternatives/nvidia$ -> /usr/lib64/nvidia-current/bin/nvidia* the return of the command nvidia-smi becomes: [root@magaux alain4]# nvidia-smi NVIDIA-SMI couldn't find libnvidia-ml.so library in your system.

I'm using it :) its just more stuff broken for you... GL path and other stuff need to be set up too... The easiest way for you to sort this out is to use mcc to configure your hw to use the nouveau (or vesa driver), reboot and then remove all nvidia-current packages. after that, reconfigure your your hw with mcc again to use the nvidia driver, and it should fix it all up for you, then reboot to use it (In reply to Thomas Backlund from comment #6) > (In reply to peter lawford from comment #4) > > sorry, but I persist to claim that the package is corrupted: I have manually > > created the links /usr/bin/nvidia* -> /etc/alternatives/nvidia$ -> > > /usr/lib64/nvidia-current/bin/nvidia* > > > > > The package is ok, I know...
