Posted: Tue Oct 02, 2012 2:00 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] kernel 3.6.0 + nvidia-drivers emerge fail |
|
|
After updating kernel vanilla-sources to 3.6.0 the nvidia-drivers failed with
Code: |
nv-acpi.c: In function ‘nv_acpi_remove’ ...
|
To fix this download 3.6_kernel.patch from http://cvs.rpmfusion.org/viewvc/rpms/nvidia-kmod/devel/3.6_kernel.patch?revision=1.2&root=nonfree&view=markup
I assumed this affects all nvidia-driver versions so I want to apply it to any of them not just a specific in my case x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-295.71, thus I made the directory nvidia-drivers instead of nvidia-drivers-295.71 .
Code: | install -dv /etc/portage/patches/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/ |
and copy the downloaded patch there.
emerge your nvidia-drivers. Hope that helps someone Good luck _________________ best regards/ pozdrawiam

This is something that should goes in bugs.gentoo.org or CC to the nvidia maintainer, try cardoe. |

You might be right, but being aware the package was added today and is in the unstable ~amd64 branch I wasn't sure if I should file a bug and I thought it is more important to post the solution which could help temporarily if someone upgrades the kernel.
Anyway, thanks for the tip _________________ best regards/ pozdrawiam

Solve in forum = people get the problem and the way to fix it
Solve in bugs = people don't even get the problem as they get an already fixed version |

Sorry to bring up this old thread, but anybody has this issue again with the 3.7 kernel series as well? _________________ "Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous."

I can't use a newer nvidia-driver because those don't support my card, so i had to mask >= 3.5.0 _________________ niemand is onbekwamer, dan een timmerman zonder hamer

sorry to hear that...perhaps the newest legacy nvidia drivers would work. |

Ok I found a kind of solution.
Here at nvidia they show a patch called "nvidia-304_60.run_linux-3.7.diff.jpg" and applied to the nvidia-drivers-340.60 make it work with the 3.7.1 kernel. _________________ niemand is onbekwamer, dan een timmerman zonder hamer

the patch works also for nvidia-drivers-304.64 _________________ niemand is onbekwamer, dan een timmerman zonder hamer

I ran into this problem this morning, after trying the patch and not succeeding, i realized all i need to do is recompile nvidia-drivers304.64 with kernel3.6
I rebooted into kernel 3.6 (which i'm glad i kept in grub, for this exact reason)
change the kernel symlink back to 3.6
eselect kernel set 1 <- whatever 3.6 points to
masked any versions greater then 304.64
>=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-305.0.0 -> /etc/portage/package.mask
then emerged nvidia-drivers304.64
rebooted back into kernel3.7
nvidia-drivers 304.64 working fine in 3.7 kernel.
I understand that this is just a workaround and not a fix. Did anyone have any luck with the patch at nvidia? If so Please show in detail how to apply patch and re-emerge using kernel3.7
Best regards. |

nvidia-drivers 304.64 working fine in 3.7 kernel. | I think that is weird because every kernel has its own nvidia drivers, see /lib/modules/3.7.1-gentoo/video
for example
The patch does work.
This is how I did it.
If neccesary, edit /etc/make.conf:
Code: | PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage |
Then copy /usr/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers to /usr/local/portage:
Code: | mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
cp -R /usr/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/* /usr/local/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers |
copy the patch to /usr/local/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/filese
I renamed it to nvidia-304_60.run_linux-3.7.diff
then edit /usr/local/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/nvidia-drivers-304.64.ebuild:
At the piece 'source-prepare' add a line:
Code: | ...
epatch "${FILESDIR}"/nvidia-drivers-pax-const.patch
epatch "${FILESDIR}"/nvidia-drivers-pax-usercopy.patch
fi
epatch "${FILESDIR}"/nvidia-304_60.run_linux-3.7.diff |
last line is added
boot kernel 3.7.1
eselect set [number]
And emerge nvidia-drivers _________________ niemand is onbekwamer, dan een timmerman zonder hamer

/lib/modules/3.7.1-gentoo/video/nvidia.ko
/lib/modules/3.6.11-gentoo/video/nvidia.ko
Both kernel versions appear to have nvidia.ko set.
I was working on doing an emerge -uavDN world in which nvidia-drivers310 was installed very last.
Just like you i found out that the newest version of nvidia-drivers wasn't compatible with my video card
00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C51 [Quadro NVS 210S/GeForce 6150LE] (rev a2)
before i found this thread i ran
Code: | emerge -C nvidia-drivers | while i was in kernel3.7 thinking i could just re-emerge, nvidia-drivers304.64
When nvidia-drivers failed to emerge on kernel 3.7 (naturally) all i ended up doing was reboot, running emerge -av nvidia-drivers304.64 on kernel 3.6 which was successful
i booted back into kernel 3.7 ran eselect opengl set nvida eselect opencl set nvidia and modprobe -r nvidia
Keeping in mind that my /usr/portage/package.mask has >=drivers/nvidia-drivers-305.0.0
Maybe i just got lucky.
I am still however working on this patch. I am in kernel 3.7
when i go to re-emerge nvidia-drivers i get this error message:
Calculating dependencies / * Digest verification failed:
* /usr/local/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/nvidia-drivers-304.64.ebuild

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]
It still however gives me the option to merge the packages. (should i continue?)
Also when i run nvidia-settings -v it shows i allready have 304.64
nvidia-settings -v

Perhaps this is all redundant and unnecessary but i appreciate the quick response and help. Sorry about the obscurity of my posts, im new to forums. |

You must do that after editing an ebuild.
