jms.gentoo,

You can't cross a chasm in two smaller jumps. On an out oy date install, you need to do @world to start with.
emerge -avg @world --backtrack=500

Perl may need to be done separately with perl-cleaner --all
You will need the up to date perl-cleaner.

You cannot use the kde overlay ...

Hello ,
I want to use the gentoo binary packages but fail :evil: to have them working properly
https://www.gentoo.org/news/2023/12/29/Gentoo-binary.html

I am using "buildpkg" in my make.conf (I ll post it)
I have no problem ...

my primary monitor (of two) doesn't work after firing up kde.
NVIDIA
are you using the nvidia DVI output to connect to the primary monitor?
Are you using nvidia-drivers 555.58 ?
they are a few other hiccups with 555.58 depending on card.
have a look here
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t ...

No harm in sticking to still-supported stable drivers though (550 is a production branch, while 555 is an experimental new feature branch that will never be stabilized), if luck has it may be resolved by the time of the next production branch.

yes will do that ,it's not worth the hassle.

Also it ...

If it's a recent'ish card (GTX 1650+), may want to try disabling its use of the GSP firmware. NVIDIA started to use it by default in 555 and it's the primary cause of regressions.

The ebuild briefly warn about this the first time 555 is emerged too (see the noted nvidia.conf):
if use !kernel-open ...

Hey everyone,

Just wondering if anyone else is having trouble with this new driver?

I've been rocking a sweet Nvidia setup for 5 years now, with no issues running my dual monitor setup... until this driver update. Now only one monitor shows anything, even though I see info pop up on the second one ...

I didn't. Nice trick

That's an nVidia card using the binary blob driver.
Its the only DRM driver that does not provide a console at no extra charge.
Turn off

CONFIG_SYSFB=y
CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB=y


Thank you very much
yes turning off CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB is the solution, nvidia the culprit.
however SYSFB is ...

Is there "quiet" somewhere in kernel's boot command line?
no

Perhaps you can clean something useful from selected portions of my .config
thanks
the main difference I can see is the CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB that I have set.
I think this shouldn't make a difference but I ll try and will test ...

In fact I now believe my problem is related to tty /console

hi,
I would like to get back the messages on boot up after grub
I guess some time ago I removed this and can't find a way to get it back

thanks

I suggest you file up a bug in gentoo.

It looks to me like older version are not available on exiftool.org.
maybe a bug from exiftool.org?

hi,
I want to start using gentoo binary for my laptop.
I have a profile :

2) whatever I do even changing to

You're running a stable system but some ~arch bits, but not enough.

I've unslotted OpenEXR to avoid the significant number of problems with that approach, but you'll need to put the package list from [bug=833158]bug 833158[/bug] into package.accept_keywords for now (or remove all of the relevant ...

Thanks both Hu && GDH-gentoo , for your time

I have been running a base stable with some unstable and I don't remember coming across this problem.
