[SOLVED] nvidia-drivers fails to build

I updated my system today and with it came nvidia drivers 555 but it failed to compile. I got this:

* '/usr/src/linux/Module.symvers' was not found implying that the
 * linux-6.9.7polq12kerneltkg tree at that location has not been built.
 * 
 * Please verify that this is the intended kernel version, then perform
 * a full build[1] (i.e. make && make modules_install && make install).
 * 
 * Alternatively, consider a distribution kernel[2] that does not need
 * these manual steps (e.g. sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel or gentoo-kernel-bin).

>>> Failed to emerge x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-550.90.07, Log file:

The file /usr/src/linux/Module.symvers exists. I uninstalled the current 550 drivers and tried to install 555 but it didn't help. Recompiled the kernel. Didn't help. Tried to install 550 drivers back and got the same thing. They were working before the update but now even 550 are not working. Updated the kernel from 6.9.6 to 6.9.7. Didn't help. I looked at this: viewtopic-t-1103978-start-0.html I have CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is not set.

The outputs of every command are identical for 555 and 550
How do i get it to compile?

namei -m /usr/src/linux/Module.symvers? It may exist but not be readable if kernel was built with umask 077 rather than 022 or something.

Edit: If all good, output should look something like:

Code: Select all

f: /usr/src/linux/Module.symvers
 drwxr-xr-x /
 drwxr-xr-x usr
 drwxr-xr-x src
 lrwxr-xr-x linux -> linux-6.9.7

 -rw-r--r-- Module.symvers

I thought of that before so I did a chmod 777 and the output of ls -l /usr/src/linux/Module.symvers is

Code: Select all

.rwxrwxrwx 791k polq12 30 cze 13:40 /usr/src/linux/Module.symvers

It didn't help.

Please try namei -m (I edited the command shortly after posting) as it may reveal issue with leading directories.

Hm, don't see an issue there. All the ebuild does is a simple [[ -f ]] bash test, so it shouldn't fail unless there's something off with the file.

Maybe try this (will run as the portage user like the ebuild):

Code: Select all

# su portage -s /bin/sh -c "file /usr/src/linux/Module.symvers" -
/usr/src/linux/Module.symvers: ASCII text

Output of su portage -s /bin/sh -c "file /usr/src/linux/Module.symvers" -

Code: Select all

/usr/src/linux/Module.symvers: cannot open `/usr/src/linux/Module.symvers' (Permission denied)

So it's a permission issue. I also did su portage -s /bin/sh which got me to a shell. I did this:

Code: Select all

sh-5.2$ cd /home
sh-5.2$ ls
lost+found  polq12
sh-5.2$ cd polq12
sh: cd: polq12: Brak dostępu
sh-5.2$

polq12 is my user.
So it doesn't have access to my home directory. How do I fix it? Do a chmod? It's weird thet it worked before and now the permissions changed.

polq12 · Post by **polq12** » Sun Jun 30, 2024 3:10 pm

Fixed it by running chmod 755 /home/polq12
Thank you for your help. I really appreciate that.

Mode 711 should have been fine here. Do you have an LSM imposing additional restrictions?

It was 711 before and I was getting permission denied.

I don't. At least I didn't set one up manually

I've noticed similar issue today, while upgrading from linux-6.12.21-gentoo to linux-6.12.31-gentoo.

It turns out /lib/modules has 0500 perms - I didn't changed perms manually and have no idea how that happened.
Previous kernel was installed 2 months ago without any issues, so permission on /lib/modules was changed in last 2 months.

Code: Select all

chmod 0511 /lib/modules

fixed the issue.
