 Posted: Fri Jan 15, 2010 5:08 am Post subject: vanilla-sources-2.6.33_rc4 & nvidia-drivers-190.53-r1 |

I wanted to switch my laptop's root partition from ext4 to btrfs to improve its SSD's lifespan. To avoid any issues with an old btrfs implementation, I emerged the latest vanilla-sources, configured them, built them and proceeded to emerge nvidia-drivers. Unfortunately, it seems that nvidia-drivers-190.53-r1 is not compatible with vanilla-sources-2.6.33_rc4. Here is the build log:

A thread for an older kernel had a similar issue, so I adapted the commands it recommended running for the more current kernel version I run at the moment (gentoo-sources-2.6.31-r9) and ran them:
| Code: | eselect kernel set linux-2.6.33-rc4
cd /usr/src/linux/include/
ln -s asm-generic/ asm-x86/ |
Unfortunately, it did not have any effect on emerge nvidia-drivers. I know this configuration is not supported, but is there any way to get it to work? I would like to switch to btrfs to increase my SSD's lifespan while having a relatively stable implementation. |

I had to grab a more recent version of that from the nvnews.net forums. I could get the driver to install, but X would not start saying that it could not load the nvidia driver. Attempting to modprobe nvidia said that it could not load the driver because there was no such device. I tried this with the 190.53 drivers and the latest 195.30 driver from Nvidia and it didn't work.
Also, getting the driver to install was a pain, but I was able to do it for 195.30 with the following commands:
| Code: | wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/195.30/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.30-pkg1.run
chmod 744 NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.30-pkg1.run
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.30-pkg1.run --apply-patch nvidia-195-2.6.33.patch.txt
eselect kernel set linux-2.6.33-rc4
sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.30-pkg1-custom.run -a --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux --kernel-name=2.6.33-rc4 |
The patch file I used was from:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2164440&postcount=20
The commands above were my latest attempt at getting it to work. I am going to retry them with 190.53 from the official site (as opposed to portage's version) and see what happens.
Edit: I just tried it with the 190.53 drivers from nvidia's download page. They didn't work either. modprobe nvidia gives:
| Code: | | FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.33-rc4/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko): No such device |

I just gave it a fresh attempt and it worked. Here is what I did:
I rebooted the system into the new kernel. I then ran the following:
| Code: | wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/195.30/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.30-pkg1.run
chmod 744 NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.30-pkg1.run
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.30-pkg1.run --apply-patch nvidia-195-2.6.33.patch.txt
eselect kernel set linux-2.6.33-rc4
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.30-pkg1-custom.run -a --kernel-name=2.6.33-rc4 |
It didn't work, so I did some troubleshooting. modprobe complained about not finding the driver, so I did:
| Code: | | ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.30-pkg1-custom.run -a |
To reinstall it and it and it worked.
A quick question. How do I tell portage that I manually installed the nvidia-drivers so it won't try to update them when I do emerge -avDuN world after emerge --sync --quiet in the future? I remember reading about that feature in portage's documentation, but I cannot seem to find it again. :/ |

I think all you needed after having patches and installed the nvidia-drivers was: "depmod -a" if running from the kernel for which you built the driver for or "depmod -a <kernel_version>' like 'depmod -a 2.6.33-rc4'.
You unnecessarily polluted your '/' by doing a manual install. Many files provided by nvidia-drivers ebuild will be in wrong places and something or the other will fail in future. |

i gave him a patch and he decided to complicate things for himself. his choice.

the driver compiles with 2.6.33-rc4-git2 but there is no 3d acc, but vdpau works.
can anybody reproduce this?
edit
eselect opengl set nvidia and restarting X fixes the 3d acc problem.
why?
earlier kernels on this system doesn't require this.
other drivers doesn't require this. |

You said to apply the patch, but I could not figure out how to apply it without messing up portage. |

I feel stupid now. labor_ratte's link gave me a clue on how to do things so I did some googling and figured out how to get it to work.
I uninstalled the nvidia-drivers I manually installed. I did a find / -name *nvidia* on the system to look for any stuff that the nvidia drivers might have left behind, but I could not find anything notable. I then proceeded to emerge the nvidia-drivers with the patch applied. KDE works, so I guess this means everything is fixed.
I also went through the liberty of making a nvidia-drivers-190.53-r1.ebuild.patch file, which applies this patch only for kernels newer than 2.6.31. I will submit it to Bugzilla for inclusion in Gentoo as soon as I figure out whether not there is a bug report already filed for this issue. |

I searched the bugzilla database and I could not find an existing bug report for this issue, so I filed one myself. I also included patches to fix the issue:

well next time just say you don't know how to apply a patch and everybody will be ready
to help.
the patch applies to 2.6.33 kernel.
2.6.32 kernel doesn't need any patch with nvidia-195.30.
