 Posted: Thu Jul 28, 2016 7:12 pm Post subject: fixing nvidia-drivers with kernel-4.7 |
 |
|
In case anybody else runs across the same issue I did:
the 4.7 kernel introduces a function that the nvidia-drivers installer already uses, leading to a failed emerge of nvidia-drivers. You can read about the issue and find the necessary patch on this thread.
Happy emerging,
EE |

I haven't done much patching, but I didn't see anything there that I could use as patch just as it is. I have added patches at /etc/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drievers-xxx in the past, but what I see at the link given does not look like those patches. Am I missing something. Thanks,
Fred
Think I was confused. Thought I was trying to patch the nvidia-drivers, not stuff in the kernel. I think I'll just wait. |

Post #4 of that thread (as of this writing, at least) contains a text block. Save that block as /etc/portage/patches/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-361.35/kernel-4.7.patch (or whatever you want to name it in that subdirectory), and remerge nvidia-drivers. You will need to manually edit that file, however, replacing every instance of "361.27" with "361.35" so that it applies to the correct version.
HTH,

Don't you guys get the sandbox violations? I get this for every file the ebuild tries to compile, with or without the patch:

Doesn't happen with kernel 4.6.5. |

Hey Peter,

have you set TRIM_UNUSED_KSYSMS to yes in your kernel config? I had the same violations and now have set it to "no" and emerging now works.

Did you perhaps mean
instead of 'KSYSMS'? :]
I have 'CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is not set', and don't have that issue either.
For convenience, here's a patch I've been using. It's slightly modified from the one available at the devtalk.nvidia.com post mentioned before (note the trailing whitespaces that may appear when “copy-pasting”):

 You're right. I should definitely learn how to properly copy'n'paste.
Besides from that, I'm now getting errors due to missing symbols when loading the nvidia kernel module...
Edit: OK, I just forgot to copy my kernel again after re-compiling without the stripped symbols. Another failed copy'n'paste job... |

Thank you! Will you be updating for newer kernel versions?

| And what about patch for 340.96? Only with that driver u can get support for older GPU. |

I do not own the legacy hardware, so it would be difficult to test. If you have any ideas, I am all ears. The patches are available on the various developer forums, but I am hesitant to produce a version for Gentoo without the ability to test it. |

It has not been a problem for a while. However, it certainly is my intention to be able to run my own nvidia hardware with the latest kernel, so I guess I should answer yes to your question. |

I have added x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-340.96-r6 to my overlay and verified that it emerges correctly with kernels 4.6.5 and 4.7.0
I have not tested it because I do not have legacy hardware.

Same here. Thanks for the tip!
The ebuild should probably check for that setting being present. |
