If you depclean nvidia-drivers, the driver files stay there, why?
Long story, I moved from nvidia-drivers to nouveau and noticed some problems in my dmesg so I opened https://bugs.gentoo.org/702034
Jeroen Roovers was kind enough to explain that the problem was that the nvidia drivers were conflicting with nouveau. However that was strange because I had just removed them with --depclean nvidia-drivers. It seems the files were still there:
| Code: |
$ sudo find /lib/modules/4.19.86-gentoo/video -name 'nvidia*'
/lib/modules/4.19.86-gentoo/video/nvidia.ko
/lib/modules/4.19.86-gentoo/video/nvidia-modeset.ko
/lib/modules/4.19.86-gentoo/video/nvidia-drm.ko |
So I had to remove them manually. Why does this happen? Why can't the removal of the ebuild, remove the files as well?
Thanks,
Paulo

Manually cleaning these created a different problem:
| Code: |
[ 11.196388] udevd[3296]: ctx=0x55e7b4fc3d30 path=/lib/modules/4.19.86-gentoo/video/nvidia-modeset.ko error=No such file or directory |

Is it possible they are still in use. What does report
Have you removed the nvidia reference in /etc/conf.d/modules?
