Posted: Sat Jul 06, 2013 7:44 pm Post subject: [Solved!] Serious Instability/nVidia Drivers |
|
|
For the last few days I've had very serious instability on my ~AMD64 system. I run fine without a GUI, but once KDE starts, the system will run for a few minutes then lock up hard. When locked, the screen flashes strangely.
I've finally traced it back to nvida-drivers, with the last 2 versions being effected. The solution is to mask both the 319.32 & 325.08 versions.
So, in my package mask file (/etc/portage/package.mask), I have:
=sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-3.10.0 # Not compatible with nvidia yet
=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-319.32
=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-325.08
Since I've done this, the system has been very stable. I've been running for a few hours without any lockups. _________________ Casey Bralla

I am also running ~amd64.
I haven't had any problems with the nvidia-drivers you mention.
Kernel 3.9.8 and kde-4.10.5.
Kernel 3.10.0 is another story:nvidia won't compile as it saya so in the ebuilds.

The same disk can be used for 32 and 64 bit installs.
You can follow the Handbook verbatim.

I'm using kernel 3.9.9.
Maybe that makes a difference? _________________ Casey Bralla
