Select "accept", "yes", or "OK" as prompted. One of the options is 32-bit. Select "no" here.

An error is reported during installation !! Error: unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running kernel .........

Replace the preceding statement:

[Plain] view plaincopy

1. #./NVIDIA-XXXX.run -- kernel-source-path =/usr/src/kernels/kernel number (2 + Tab key automatically appears)

This error can be solved.

The above error is missing, but the new error is generated: unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia. ko '.........

What should I do ??? Changing. Change the preceding statement:

[Plain] view plaincopy

1. #./NVIDIA-XXXX.run -- kernel-source-path =/usr/src/kernels/kernel number-k $ (uname-r)

9. After the installation is complete, modify the/etc/inittab and return to the interface mode.
