[SOLVED]problem with nvidia-drivers and rt kernel

[leyoy]

Hi everyone

I have a rt-kernel:

[krinn]

check /usr/src/linux is pointing to your rt kernel version (eselect kernel list)
and check if the kernel sources are missing: look here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-845059-highlight-.html

[chiefbag]

You should disable the following in the kernel.

Device Drivers --->
Graphics support --->
< > nVidia Framebuffer Support
< > nVidia Riva support

[leyoy]

Thanks for your answers:

I had already deselected nVidia Framebuffer Support and nVidia Riva support when I compiled the kernel.

Thanks for your help,

I have read the post, thanks but it's not the same kind of error ...
But if I understand you, if I will upgrade my kernel I will loose my .config, that's it ?

[leyoy]

Ok thanks,

even if I do the commands 'make oldconfig && make prepare' I can't install drivers:
Log asks me again to do 'make oldconfig && make prepare'.
It's what I mean on the first post.

I have read somewhere that there is some problem to install nvidia-drivers with a rt-kernel.

Any suggestion

[cach0rr0]

to ask the possibly obvious question - do those files exist for you, at all?

[leyoy]

Thanks for your help

if I do:

[cach0rr0]

hrm...your sources are there, they are fine

Can you upload the entire build log somewhere? (e.g. pastebin)

I'm interested in seeing the text far above the part that says 'ERROR'

I think the error is possibly misleading.

May even be a problem with linux-headers.

Well here is all the log !
Thank you to help me

[cach0rr0]

ah right

so you aren't actually getting an error about those files missing

notice the 'test -e' bit before that string you posted:

[leyoy]

Thanks a lot for your help.

Here's all the soft that I have emerge perhaps there is a way in this ...

[cach0rr0]

ok, I don't have an nvidia machine I can test this with, so unfortunately I have not tried this myself, but I've edited the existing ebuild to use the patch from that bug (and threw it on my web server to make things easier)

instructions are as such
-su to root if you havent already

(you can copy and paste these)

[leyoy]

You are great

It works !! The nvidia drivers have been installed now !!

I was scared, cause the same message "make oldconfig bla bla bla ..." start again, but after that everythings was good.

Thank you very much.

ps: If other people have the same problem, could they do the same things, will you let the patch on your site ?

[cach0rr0]

yep, ill leave it on my site.

Actually I think the best thing to do would, if possible, have the maintainers of the pro-audio overlay maintain their own ebuild for the nvidia-drivers package

I don't know who maintains it, but I'll ask around and see.

Glad it's working, especially since I couldn't test it at all myself

Thanks cach0rr0, it works fine for me,

[McGruff]

Worked for me too - many thanks

[cach0rr0]

glad it's working for people
I've been somewhat away and busy with work life. I did chat to the overlay folks, I need to make some changes to that ebuild before I can submit it it to the overlay folks. Namely, I need to make the ebuild check and make sure someone is running rt-sources before applying the patch. I don't know how to do that, and at the moment don't have much time for reading doc.

Anyone else wants to have a go at that while I'm partially out of commission, have at it!

I don't have much bash experience but what about:
