 |
|
I updated my kernel to the 2.6.23-gentoo-r3 and my nvidia drivers seems to be messed up. the errors giving during boot are /usr/bin/dbus-daemon error shared libraries libexpat.so.0 cannot find no such file or directory, and trying to startx I get
WW failed to load nvidia kernel module
EE screen found but no stable config.
I checked the nvidia guide and all mods are loaded according to the guide, so I'm lost any help would be great thanx.

Run revdep-rebuild. And did you re-emerge your nvidia drivers after the kernel update?

Try emerge gentoolkit, that will give you revdep-rebuild which should sort out libexpat dependencies.
this is only a pointer search the forums.
Good Luck

I did the revdep-rebuild it checked some stuff and then said everything in kde is broken. It emerged ebuilds I think, stopped on file nine but I couldn't see the error.
I can't really tell whats going on because I don't know what revdep-rebuild does exactly. I trid to remerge the nivida driver and it said afterwards access violation.
So where do I go from here.

That fixed the driver problem, but their is still the issue with libexpat.so.0. I tried revdep-rebuild after the nvidia update, and it said 15 files failed here are your options etc... When I tried starting X the graphics worked fine but failed due to the missing library. What should I do thanx.

Here you can find information about gentoolkit and revdep-rebuild:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoolkit.xml
do a revdep-rebuild -p to see which packages need to be re-emerged. make sure they are re-emerged. if revdep-rebuild fails check where and fix that package manually.
you might have to revdep-rebuild twice. |
