Tutorial: Install Nvidia GPU Drivers on Centos 7

Installing GPU drivers on Linux has always been quite the headache.
This method uses nvidia-detect which simplifies the process.

Run the following commands:

1. 
rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org
Imports the elrepo public key.

2.
rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-7.0-2.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm
Installs the elrepo rpm

3.
yum install nvidia-detect
Installs nvidia detect

4.
nvidia-detect -v
Lists the required drivers

5.
yum install $(nvidia-detect)
Installs the required drivers


Reboot your system after the drivers are installed and you will be able to access the nvidia control panel in your list of installed applications.

I hope this method will help you as as much as it helped me.

Projekt: ESXBox

Alright lets get started!

Putting this thing together is going to take some time so in-between updates on the ESXBox i will be posting other material, relative to virtualization and sometimes on other topics completely. 

So the main goal was to create a VM Host on the cheap, throw ESXi 6.5 on it and start exploring. 

Luckily I already have a case (Corsair Air 540) and a power-supply (Corsair CX 750W) so what is left is a CPU, RAM and a Motherboard. 
The Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 board arrived yesterday and the rest will arrive over the next few weeks.

I am torn between the AMD FX 8350 and the AMD FX 6300 and will have to make a decision next week on whether the extra 2 cores are worth 50 dollars. 

The board will support a maximum of 32GB of DDR3 memory and because of this build being purely experimental with no heavy technical requirements, the cheapest batch from amazon should do just fine. 

I think I will keep this entry fairly short as a basic outline for the project. Any follow up on the VM Host will come once more parts arrive. 

The next journal entry will be a guide on creating a Raspberry Pi AP, and If i have time I may organize the entire thing into an easily executable bash script for the convenience of others.

Until then!

Hello World.

Overdue post. 

So the idea of putting  a blog together came out of curiosity as well as necessity. 

Keeping a folder full of tutorials on Linux and god knows what was becoming daunting, so sharing this collection felt like a good thing to do.

Plus organizing all of my material on the web can be very useful for future reference. 

This journal will contain posts on but will not be limited to:

• Anything PC Related
• Linux
• Bash
• Powershell
• Virtualization
• CSS/HTML

The first project this blog will see is the construction of an ESXI host. I will be putting updates over the next few weeks as the parts come in. Expect pictures!

The first part got in today, and its the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 motherboard. 

The next entry will explain the rest of the project. 

That should do it for introductions.

Until later!
