 |
|
I cant run glx.
When i test my vidioe card with, glxinfo | grep direct. I get this error.
| Code: | | glxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libnvidia-tls.so.1: cannot TLS data |
And when i test the FPS with, glxgears. I get this error.
| Code: | | glxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libnvidia-tls.so.1: cannot TLS data |
This is my output errors, in the X server log.
| Code: |
dlopen: libnvidia-tls.so.1: cannot handle TLS data
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (loader failed, 7)
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load GLX
|
Any idea to fix this?

also make sure you dont have this in your xorg.conf
| Code: | Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection |
If you do and you want it then read the NVIDIA readme for the option to still have glx[/quote] |

I know this thread is a couple weeks old, but I just solved this problem on my machine..
It seems that the nvidia-glx ebuild tries to detect which version of glibc you have installed.. It has to do this, to figure out if it uses TLS or not... In my case, I had glibc 2.2.5 and 2.3.5....... And 2.2.5 doesn't support TLS (or is it nptl? I dont know, I'm confused), so when the "has_version" line in the nvidia-glx ebuild came back, it showed 2.2.5, and installed the non-TLS version. Which confilcts with my glibc-2.3.5........
So I unmerged glibc-2.2.5, re-emerged nvidia-glx, and now everything works...... Maybe we want to file a bug report? |

| I have such a problem. This is caused by glibc's nptl problem, I do not how to fix it. You excute /lib/tls/libc.so.6 to verify it. |

I came across the exact same problem.
Help. |

Same here.
After following the instructions in the gentoo nvidia guide (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml),
Everthing seems to work fine, until the final step:
| Code: | # glxinfo | grep direct
glxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libnvidia-tls.so.1: cannot handle TLS data |
Just to let anyone with the answer to this prob know that it's worthwhile posting it here  |

I was hit by this too. Curiously though, `glxinfo | grep Direct` gives me:
| Code: | $ glxinfo | grep Direct
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual |
It says nothing about shared libraries. However, my xorg log also says that it failed to load nvidia-glx. |

| Huzzah! I fixed GLX on my system with `emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx`. |

I've just installed 2006.0 on a new maschine from stage3 and ran into the same problem.
It was solved by (2.3.5-r2) |

You'll have to re-emerge nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx after every kernel upgrade, don't forget that!

| You will only have to update nvidia-kernel, as the glx package is the connection part for X, and nvidia-kernel is the part for the kernel... |

Sure, I did that before but it didn't fix the problem for me.
But aftrer the reinstallation of glibc it worked. |

| I guess I didn't have the same problem after all, but it sure is an odd coincidence. I think this is the first time I upgraded glx since upgrading glibc to 2.4. Somehow I guess that was the source of the problem, but after re-emeging nvidia-kernel, it worked again... mysteriously. |

I've once had this problem, and re-emerging was not enough. I've had to actually first unmerge nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx, and reemerge. Things worked afterwards  |

Emerging the latest glibc (to 2.3.5) seems to have -partially- resolved the problem:
To get there, did the following
| Code: | # emerge glibc
# emerge --unmerge nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel
# emerge nvida glx |
...then followed the rest of the steps in the gentoo nvidia setup guide (xorg.conf changes; modules-update; opengl-update nvidia)
Now, instead of getting this:
| Code: | # glxinfo | grep direct
glxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libnvidia-tls.so.1: cannot handle TLS data |
I get this:
| Code: | # glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect |
Not sure to what extent this is a problem, but my guess is that the final goal of getting direct rendering with the nvidia drivers (as opposed to indirect Mesa GLX...what's the difference?) has not been achieved.
Any idea on how I can get direct rendering to be 'yes'? |

Haha, read that. The library in question seems to be mistakenly installed in the wrong place. I backed up and replaced it with the tls version, ran eselect opengl set nvidia, and it stopped giving me the "cant handle tls" error! However glxinfo gave some new errors...
So I stopped X, redid eselect opengl set nvidia and BAM... everything works and works great!!!! I should have known not to try that stuff while inside X.
Seems this bug is really old. Someone ought to fix it.

| Same problem still, remerged glibc and nvidia stable and unmasked by .keywords, still no go. Done eselect updates, done all this from console not in x, not sure what else to try. :/ |

One thing I have noticed is, whether opengl-update is set to nvidia or xorg-x11 it always looks in /usr/lib/modules/extensions/ for libGL.so never in /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so Could that be an issue?
EDIT: Nevermind, it's a simlink anyhow. Piece of shit.

Mesa is the Xorg version of opengl. Try this:
| Code: |
# eselect opengl nvidia
|
Then restart X.

| I was excited to see new drivers were out for nvidia and nvidia-glx in the ~ section, though same problem persists. |
