 Posted: Fri Aug 23, 2019 3:53 pm Post subject: wrong nvidia-drivers version? |
 |
|
Hi,
I should use only nvidia-drivers-390.116-r2 with my old Geforce 630M
| Code: | # cat /etc/portage/package.mask/nvida
>x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-390.116-r2 |
Today, after kernel update I did some quick config update (etc-update) which added me a line (in file below) to accept 435.17 version.
| Code: | # cat /etc/portage/package.unmask/video-editing
media-gfx/slowmovideo::cg
media-gfx/v3d::cg
|
When I realised my mistake, I just deleted the line. However, I cannot see those 390.116-r2 as avaiable anymore. In example below should be avaiable version and installed version - there is only installed.
| Code: | # emerge -s nvidia-drivers
[ Results for search key : nvidia-drivers ]
Searching...
* x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
Latest version installed: 390.116-r2
Homepage: https://www.nvidia.com/
Description: NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver
License: GPL-2 NVIDIA-r2 |
It says now will install 435.17 - what to do to have an access to 390.116-r2?
| Code: | # emerge -1p nvidia-drivers
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild U #] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-435.17 [390.116-r2]
The following mask changes are necessary to proceed:
(see "package.unmask" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by media-libs/nv-codec-headers-8.1.24.2::gentoo
# required by media-video/ffmpeg-4.1.3::gentoo[video_cards_nvidia]
# required by virtual/ffmpeg-9-r2::gentoo[-libav]
# required by media-video/transcode-1.1.7-r3::gentoo[postproc]
# required by kde-apps/k3b-19.04.3::gentoo[encode,dvd]
# required by @selected
# required by @world (argument)
# /etc/portage/package.mask/nvida:
=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-435.17
NOTE: The --autounmask-keep-masks option will prevent emerge
from creating package.unmask or ** keyword changes. |

According to your own output, you have at least two solutions available. You could pass --autounmask-keep-masks to tell Portage not to try to override your local mask. You could mask and uninstall =media-libs/nv-codec-headers-8.1.24.2 to avoid needing the newer drivers. | Xywa wrote: | | However, I cannot see those 390.116-r2 as avaiable anymore. |
Is your local overlay not in your PORTDIR_OVERLAY path anymore? When you want to stay in the past, you need to make arrangements to keep the ebuilds of the chosen version around. They will not stay in the main tree indefinitely. | Xywa wrote: | | Code: | # /etc/portage/package.mask/nvida:

You should not use = here. That matches one very specific version, but according to your text, you want to mask a whole group of versions, probably everything after the 390 series. |

Why don't you revise your mask, consider there are likely more updates coming to this driver, take this into account when creating your new mask and future upgrades will go smoothly.

| I agree with Jaglover, a >399 mask should do the work better |
