 |
|
Hi There,
I am having a problem and don't know how to fix.
My gentoo install works however I am having issues with my Nvidia 210.
I followed the wiki's on Xorg, Gnome & Nvidia
when I boot I get an error: | Code: | | etc/init.d/../conf.d/modules: line 25: nvidia: command not found |
and then it loads to the command line.
I previously did:
# nvidia-xconfig
# nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# eselect opengl set nvidia
#lsmod | grep nvidia
#rmmod nvidia
#modprobe nvidia
I get no error messages.
However, I then checked lsmod and nvidia does not show in the list.
not sure what to do here.
any suggestions?

chekdalaypa,
This suggests that you have installed the nvidia module for one kernel but you are booting another.
What is the output of | Code: | | readlink /usr/src/linux |
Thats the kernel that you built nvidia for.
What does show?
This tells about the kernel you are running.
| Code: | $ uname -a
Linux Grytpype-Thynne 3.10.1-hardened-r1 #5 SMP Tue Apr 8 21:29:16 CEST 2014 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2130 CPU @ 3.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux |
Here its | Quote: | | 3.10.1-hardened-r1 |
and I've built it times., most recently at | Quote: | | Tue Apr 8 21:29:16 CEST 2014 |
Dot the versions match - does the build date and time look right?

Currently I am running off the livedvd, so when i entered those commands the outputs did not match up. So I rebooted and the commands gave
| Code: | | readlink /usr/src/linux |
linux-3.17.7-gentoo
linux-3.17.7-gentoo and #1
The listed date seems to be correct.
from the livedvd how can I run "uname -a" and get the desired output? Or is that possible?
thank you,

chekdalaypa,
You cannot modprobe the nvidia module when you are running from the liveCD.
You can only modprobe sucessfully from outside of the chroot, while on the liveCD.

Hi There,
The content of /etc/conf.d/modules
| Code: | # You can define a list modules for a specific kernel version,
# a released kernel version, a main kernel version or just a list.
# The most specific versioned variable will take precedence.
#modules_2_6_23_gentoo_r5="ieee1394 ohci1394"
#modules_2_6_23="tun ieee1394"
#modules_2_6="tun"
#modules_2="ipv6"
#modules="ohci1394"
# You can give modules a different name when they load - the new name
# will also be used to pick arguments below.
#modules="dummy:dummy1"
# Give the modules some arguments if needed, per version if necessary.
# Again, the most specific versioned variable will take precedence.
#module_ieee1394_args="debug"
#module_ieee1394_args_2_6_23_gentoo_r5="debug2"
#module_ieee1394_args_2_6_23="debug3"
#module_ieee1394_args_2_6="debug4"
#module_ieee1394_args_2="debug5"
# You should consult your kernel documentation and configuration
# for a list of modules and their options. |

here it is again with everything, you can see nvidia at the bottom.

From the wiki for Nvidia I have followed all the steps, but there is no nvidia.conf. Was that supposed to be automatically generated?

chekdalaypa,
Like the example line | Code: | | #modules="ohci1394" |
Your entry should be
Its a space separated list of modules to load.
The entry is not needed. When you start Xorg and the nvidia Xorg driver loads, it will load the kernel module, if its not already loaded.

Thank you. I see what you are writing. However I was following the wiki.
If I understand what you are writing and if it was to be done correctly then it should read modules="nvidia".
How I got on all this was following what is written in the wiki's for XORG, Gnome & Nvidia.
Somehow I have screwed up my install and I do not know what to do.
You write "the entry is not needed", so I will remove nvidia from that file. Its odd that the NVidia wiki says to put it in.
