 |
|
Hi, new to community.. Fresh install, udev hung at start up after running nividia-xconfig. I Ctrl-C'd to resume and ran dmesg
| Code: | [ 1001.319655] NVRM: The NVIDIA NVS 5100M GPU installed in this system is
NVRM: supported through the NVIDIA 340.xx Legacy drivers. Please
NVRM: visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more
NVRM: information. The 349.16 NVIDIA driver will ignore
NVRM: this GPU. Continuing probe...
[ 1001.319663] NVRM: No NVIDIA graphics adapter found!
[ 1001.319750] NVRM: NVIDIA init module failed!

I think i need to mask one and emerge the other but I'm not sure exactly how, I know how to mask a package through "/etc/portage/package.mask". But specifically in this context, I'm failing.
Thanks |

>=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-340.76
was what I needed,
349.16 is what I had been putting. |

would be better, these drivers do get updates when a new kernel is released. |
Thank you.
: )
How do I mark as solved now?
Sometimes I mark a package (correctly, copy and pasted - receiving no errors through emerge) but the newest version is still the one downloaded. Is there a config file that has priority over those in package.mask/? |
