[users] DKMS startup : where's 'log_daemon_msg' ?

[Niki Kovacs]

Hi,

I'm running CentOS 5 with the RPMForge repo activated, and I'm using a
few drivers like NVidia or Gspca.

When my system starts up, I get an error message from
dkms_autoinstaller, claiming that 'log_daemon_msg' can't be found.
Though there doesn't seem to be any resulting malfunction.

I did some searching around ('yum provides */log_daemon_msg' and the
likes), but to no avail.

Any idea what's missing here?

Cheers from the sunny South of France,

Niki

hi Niki,
I don't know about your error message, but more generally it is
recommended to switch to elrepo instead of rpmforge for kernel modules.
You will get kmods that don't need to be reinstalled or recompiled when
upgrading the kernel (so no more dkms).
The drivers are also regularly updated on elrepo, whereas rpmforge won't
be updating drivers anymore AFAIK.

see instructions here for migrating from rpmforge for nvidia drivers:
http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-nvidia

I believe the gspca drivers are in kmod-video4linux on elrepo.

You also shouldn't get any conflicts between elrepo and rpmforge, it's
safe to use them together (imo).

cheers

Whoever still believes in DKMS packages, please speak up ! If we are not
maintaining the old cruft and we have an alternative, maybe we should
obsolete these packages now ?

PS I wonder if we should also have a virtual package that takes care of
obsoleting RPM packages in RPMforge ? How do other repositories handle
this ?
