I'm sorry Neddy, but I don't see the option in your list either?

I'm not talking about the DRM option. I mean the suboption on that page, which doesn't exist, even in hidden options.

As the title suggests, the nvidia optimus article on the Gentoo wiki is outdated.

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/NVIDIA/Optimus#Kernel

Specifically, the "Enable preliminary support for prerelease Intel hardware by default" option no longer exists, at least in my make menuconfig setup. Can someone ...

I am curious about your last suggestion. You mentioned that a second instance could mount the pseudo filesystems... but this would not happen, since it checks for any lockfiles denoting that someone is already in the filesystem. If you could explain in greater detail how this scenario might occur I ...

I thought about using fstab as well Neddy, but I am still concerned about those issues.

Can I move it somehow?

Hey, so I wrote a small script mostly taken from the Gentoo Handbook. Its designed to chroot into a Gentoo system in such a way that you are able to begin maintenance on it. It does not handle mounting the partitions for the Gentoo system, since that can be very variable and I don't know of a ...

You have a typo at the end. It says "buld complete".

I did not know that you needed to run env-update. Thank you.

Hello all. So, as the title suggests, eselect is not properly setting the EDITOR variable. I have switched it from nano to vim with the eselect tool, and with I run eselect editor list, it says that vim is selected. In addition, /etc/env.d/99editor reads:


EDITOR="/usr/bin/vim"


So that isn't ...

Would you mind sharing it?

Well, yes... but in such a way that I don't manually run it, lest I forget.

Hey! I just installed the nvidia blob, and, as many of you know, whenever I modify my kernel I have to reinstall the nvidia driver. This is something that I feel I may often forget, so I was wondering if I could somehow automate it so that @module-rebuild is always rebuilt when @world is?

Thanks ...

Hi, I would simply like to remove Nano from the system set and add Vim in its place. How can I do this?

Solved!

I realized that my package.use directory had pax_kernel enabled as a USE flag, which was messing it up. The driver is now installed. Thank you for all the support guys!

Quick edit: For the record, I had not seen the post directly above me when I was typing this.

Oh, and unmasking packages is unsupported...

A similar error has arisen...


Gentoo /etc/portage # emerge --ask --autounmask-write =nvidia-drivers-415.23

* IMPORTANT: 2 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news read to view new items.


These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Alright. Thank you friend! I have started my emerge and am hoping for a success.

I have so much to learn about Portage and Gentoo. Its an amazing journey.

Gosh, I'm so sorry for the triple post.

Anyways, that recommendation did not work. Instead, I have added to package.accept_keywords, as Portage requested when I ran

In addition, did you mean "x11-drivers"? Or actually "=11-drivers"?

I honestly don't know much about Gentoo's method of going about this. I think that perhaps going full testing would be good? If I don't am I in the Gentoo version of a frankendebian? I don't want that.

Anyways, I will definitely be unmasking that package now. Thanks.

I am indeed running stable.

Is it unsafe to unmask it? I have heard that unmasked packages are unsupported.

In addition, will this package update as normal to later versions? It appears I am installing an explicit version, which is confusing.

How do I get it?

I'm sorry I know very, very little about Gentoo and Portage.

Hello all! New to Gentoo and the NVIDIA proprietary blob isn't emerging properly. It complains about "Pax patches" and a "nonstandard kernel", but I am using the standard gentoo ~amd64 4.20 kernel (the rest of my system is still on stable).

Here is the emerge output once the errors start ...

I removed those files and it works fully now! Thank you friend!
