Device-driver-manager (do not start)

[Fox909]

Do not run the DDM (device-driver-manager). Console produces the following:

sparky@home-pc:~$ ddm
Fontconfig warning: «/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf», line 14: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated. please move it to /home/sparky/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf manually
sparky@home-pc:~$

Please help solve the problem.

Sincerely, Fox909.

DDM is a 3th party application so I suggest to report it to the DDM developer at SolydXK forums.

SolidXK forum (http://forums.solydxk.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5712&p=54852#p54852):
There's only a slim chance anybody here uses SparkyLinux ... probably nobody. You should post your question here http://sparkylinux.org/forum/.

I've seen the first answer there...
There is only one guy in power to help with that - the application developer Schoelje.
He posted something there - give him an answer, please.

Remove 'mount' directory:

Code Select Expand

sudo rm -rf /lib/live/mount
For some reason the "/lib/live/mount" directory still exist after installation Sparky on a hard drive.
Have to add it to post install.

[pavroo]

I uploaded ddm-2.1.3-sparky-20150706 to the repos so upgrade now.
It fix the "/lib/live/mount" dir problem.

Also I'm trying to install nvidia driver 304 for my 7900 card, but
ddm does not detect any suitable hardware

do not remove /lib/live

Code Select Expand


sudo rm -rf /lib/live

it will crash rebuilding

Code Select Expand


Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.120) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.0.0-2-amd64
cp: cannot stat '/lib/live/boot': No such file or directory

[pavroo]

No, don't.
Remove /lib/live/mount only if still exist and reinstall live-scripts if the /lib/live directory has been removed.

[galen]

please don't instruct us to screw our install

DDM works now, the topic is closed.
