I downloaded and burned the DVD install for 13.1 and selected the upgrade option, as I have ever since it was available. Normally, I get video problems because I have to re-install the nvidia driver "the hard way." I keep known working versions of the nvidia driver in case the latest doesn't work. This time the nvidia install doesn't work.
I drop to init 3 and run the installer and at the very end it fails with this message:
/lib/Modules/3.11.6-4-desktop/build/include/linux/version.h is missing and maybe that is because the kernel source files are missing.
I did not include kernel source files repo at the upgrade. I added it but don't know how to fix the above problem. Also, I cannot add the nvidia repo to see if replacing nvidia files will help. I would try the nouveau driver but don't know how to get it installed. I thought if I delete the nvidia files, the nouveau would be forced into action. But now, yast won't start.
To further complicate things, grub shows that I am running 12.3 but everything I check says I am running 13.1 "Bottle" so I figure editing grub will fix it. Grub also doesn't show me a console boot, so I have to drop to init 3 after boot. I am running in "failsafe" so I assume that means nomodeset. That makes the computer run so slow it is barely usable.
I ran the DVD upgrade twice, hoping that might fix things. I also have a Live DVD which I am tempted to use for a 3 install. Please help me sort this out.
