 |
|
when i emerge nvidia-drivers it tells me to "make oldconfig && make prepare" But when i do it doesnt fix it.
I cant boot into GNOME and when i try to modprobe the nvidia module it says it cant be found.
When i try to restart GDM/XDM it says its already been started and when i stop it and restart it just says
/usr/sbin/gdm is already running
ERROR: Could not start the Display Manager

Which Nvidia card model do you have? And what Nvidia driver do you installed?
Moreover, in genkernel.log you have:
| Code: | | Enable DDC Support (FB_NVIDIA_I2C) [Y/n/?] y |
in line 3512.
I think that this option must be "n", but i'm not really sure. |

the nvidia-kernel-module cannot be loaded - either because it does not exist (in the right place) or it is faulty because of your environment (kernel-version? hw-specs?).
1. check your kernel-version and make sure the symlink /usr/src/linux points to its sources.
2. if you run a kernel >= 4.7 the nvidia-module will not work/compile (w/out enormous hassle)
3. if 1. is correct then cd into /usr/src/linux; save you current .config if you want to keep it; do
| Code: | zcat /proc/config.gz >.config
make oldconfig |
(if necessary adjust your settings)
4. build the kernel
| Code: | | make clean (if necessary) && make all && make modules_install |
(copy the kernel and reboot if necessary, ie changed settings before compilation)
5. if the settings are correct | Code: | emerge -av nvidia-drivers
modprobe nvidia |
6. you can check if/how the nvidia-module was loaded with lsmod/dmesg
startx or restart your wm/de
7. if there is a problem with xdm's init-script (eg hangs) just kill&restart it (or "zap").
(hint: the relevant lines in Xorg.log contain (EE); your kernel's networking-, cardbus-, et al options are largely irrelevant for the nvidia-module; kernel-version and system-info (KEYWORDS/ARCH) are helpful to know)
GOOD LUCK!

Merged DawgG's post from one of the duplicates of this topic, which were moved to dwell under Duplicate Threads.
AlphaXeos,
We /do/ have an 'Edit' button, too, you know. :]
As for the error, in addition to what others said, could you please post (or pastebin, rather) the actual build-log? The 'nvidia-drivers' build outputs the "make oldconfig && make prepare" statement even when the error isn't actually triggered, so seeing that doesn't necessarily mean it's actually being an issue.
