 |

Hi!
I ran into a serious problem after updating nvidia-drivers from 100.14.19 to 169.09-r1.
xdm won't start, the system is only displaying a cursor after showing the NVidia logo and doesn't allow to switch to any console by <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Fx>.
My Xorg.0.log shows...
| Code: | Backtrace:
0: /usr/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x6d) [0x4777ed]
1: /lib/libc.so.6 [0x2b999debc430]
2: /usr/lib/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1 [0x2b999fa8865e]
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting |
I am using kernel 2.6.23-gentoo-r8.
There are no dead symlinks (/lib/libc.so.6 links to libc-2.6.1.so) but strange is that /usr/lib/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1 is still linking to libnvidia-tls.so.100.14.11, there's no newer version available in this directory.
Any idea how to solve this problem?
Thanks...

Hi,
is there perhaps anything interesting in /var/log/messages? Do you have bootlog on - if yes is there anything in /var/log/boot.msg? (probably both negative but you never know!).
I guess you probably can't get the output of dmesg but if you know a way that would be helpful (please include how you do it  ).
What happens if you move libnvidia-tls.so.100.14.11 and the symlink to it?
I guess an emerge info wouldn't hurt, what mobo/chipset/graphicscard do you have and is it PCI, AGP or PCIe?
Tried recompiling xorg-server? |

Hi, same problem here...
Nothing in the messages...

Did you get any further ?

Hi
Same problem here.
I recompiled xorg-server, nvidia drivers.
Graka is a Geforce 7600GT PCIex.
Backtrace in Xorg.0.log is the same.
With nvidia-drivers 100.14.19 it works fine.

EDIT:
Solved:
The Problem is an AMD64 Problem.
The symlink in /usr/lib/tls is wrong.
Way out:
| Code: | | rm /usr/lib/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1 |
| Code: | | ln -s /usr/lib64/opengl/nvidia/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.169.09 /usr/lib/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1 |
To find the libnvidia-tls.so.169.09
| Code: | | equery files =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-169.09-r1 | grep tls |
Sebastian
EDIT: Command corrected

Thanks; Indeed, this was the problem; i removed the file and replaced it with a link to the file in the other location and it works !
(Note: Arguments in the link command should be switched; you want to create the link in /usr/lib/tls)

Hi together,
yes, that solved the problem for me also.
Thread can be closed now...
Thanks!
