 Posted: Sat Jul 07, 2012 1:44 pm Post subject: Problem with Nvidia Drivers |
 |
|
I am trying to get the Nvidia Drivers to work on my system. I get a "no screens found" error. Here are some relevent pastes, sorry for the slight lack of coherency, but im doing this all in Links, with an unfortunate resolution.
My error
bpaste.net/show/33825
My Xorg.cong
bpaste.net/show/33825
If anyone has any thoughts or ideas I would appreciate the help. The only relevent result from google didnt work for me.
If you need anymore info, just let me know. Im running the latest kernel etc. releses, this install is only 2 days old.
Thanks

This looks like it had a problem finding the kernel module. The kernel module tends to need to match the kernel.
Do a lsmod and look for nvidia.ko, it should stick out as a sore thumb as a 1MB kernel module. Also check dmesg for some clues about why it didn't load.
It may be as simple as re-emerge nvidia-drivers to make it match up with your current kernel (if /usr/src/linux points to the right place...)

I ran lsmod, and there is nothing about nvidia.ko, even afte a re-energe of nvidia-drivers, and a reboot.
Dmesg says
bpaste.net/show/33839
I looked through my kernel config though and none of the listed were active.
Here is my .config if that helps
bpaste.net/show/33840

thehighpander,
Does this return a count > 0 (don't do this from a chroot - do it from your installed gentoo)
| Code: | | grep -c nvidia /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/{modules.dep,modules.alias} |
Does this return anything
| Code: | | find /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel -type f -iname 'nvidia*' |

This is kind of weird...Do you have any of these loaded (nouveau, rivafb, nvidiafb, rivatv?
It looks like you do have CONFIG_FB enabled but I don't see nvidiafb ...
weird...

It would be better if you chroot from systemrescuecd or some other live media.
If you have entries in modules.dep and modules.alias then you should have a nvidia.ko in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)
Can you chroot and | Code: | | ebuild $(equery w x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers) compile |
and wgetpaste the log

I ran it and got
http://bpaste.net/show/NvPweHvPFv0mbb4NpGlB/
It seemed to run ok.
EDIT:
I'm running off a chroot in a Lubuntu Live usb.
I rebooted back into gentoo, and nothing there changed.
Back in lubuntu now.

thehighpander,
Except for one warning it looks good
Try the full emerge again then go to your /lib/modules/kernel-version (don't use uname -r because it will be lubuntu's version) and
find -iname 'nvidia*'

thehighpander,
You could have done the find from in the chroot Just don't use $(uname -r) to resolve the module path

thehighpander,
Make sure you have VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev vesa nvidia" in make.conf and emerge -uavDN @world
When that's done emerge -av1 $(qlist -I -C x11-drivers)

thehighpander,
Might be coincidence of timing with nvidia, but I got errors with lxde the other day after a udev update. What I did was
eix-sync && revdep-rebuild then emerge lxde-meta lxde-common
If that doesn't work, try dropping back to the prior version of nvidia

Are you trying to run Gentoo in an ubuntu chroot? That's not going to work unless your ubuntu has the same kernel version as gentoo - the module versions won't match up...
But this still doesn't explain why it won't load the module...
If you modprobe nvidia and then do a dmesg|tail, does it still give you the "no cards detected" issue?
Also what's in your lsmod ?

@Billwho - after running those commands I see no change
@Eccerr0r - I was just using a lubuntu chroot to troubleshoot
If i modprobe nvidia the dmesg|tail i get
"nvidia 11531559 1"

thehighpander,
One thing that sticks out is the date disparity with the contents of /boot and kernel time stamp.
rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4779936 Jul 8 09:19 bzImage
3.3.8-gentoo #2 SMP Wed Jul 4 05:54:08
If you followed the handbook and created a separate /boot partition, then by the listing it's not mounted and you're copying bzImage to the wrong place thereby booting an older kernel.
If a modification was made and you did a make && make modules_install then the modules are not matched to the kernel.
The nvidia module is compiled against the correct kernel version so that's OK.
