|
|
hello. i cant install nvidia proprietary drivers.
im willing to not use secure boot to make this more doable.
anyways here is what i get when i try using
dmesg | grep -i nvidia
Code: |
nvidia:module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing -tainting kernel
|
and nvidia-smi
Code: |
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldnt communicate with nvidia driver |
i installed the driver with
sudo emerge x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers |

Welcome to Gentoo.
Your kernel uses module signing.
However, the evil binary blob nvidia-drivers installs two binary kernel modules that will not be signed.
If you build your own kernel, you will have the private keys required to sign the modules. That will fix the issue.
If you use a binary kernel, you probably will not have the private key required.
Is nouveau an option fo you? _________________ Regards,

i compiled the kernel however when i booted it, it got stuck at efistub.
i also made sure the nvidia modules were compiled as well after missing them the first time however it still didnt work.
then i tried to use nouveau but card0 is not on /dev/dri/
