[nvidia-drivers-390 with kernel >5.4]

Hi,

Current funtoo ebuild nvidia-drivers-390.132 supports maximum kernel version "${NV_MAX_KERNEL_VERSION:=5.4}".

I see that _gentoo_ ebuild nvidia-drivers-390.157 seems to support NV_KERNEL_MAX="6.1".

 

Is it possible in funtoo, with debian-sources-lts, to support nvidia 390 drivers together with a kernel >5.4 ?

 

PS. I am trying to rewrite the gentoo ebuild to funtoo. But my ebuild-coding-fu is failing me 🙂

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

I got it fixed now ?

[Stuck in @preserved-rebuild]

Thank you for your reply.

But a rebuild does not seem to help. I already earlier did a complete @world rebuild with --emptytree, -e.

I have distcc set up, so it "only" takes about one day ?

emerge -ep @world | genlop -p
Estimated update time: 1 day, 15 hours, 42 minutes.

[Stuck in @preserved-rebuild]

Hi,

I am stuck with 18 packages that constantly wants to be rebuilt.

emerge -vp @preserved-rebuild

https://dpaste.com/7YPPPM5QU

No mater how many times i run @preserved-rebuild or revdep-rebuild.sh I can not get portage to be satisfied.

I have also rebuilt my whole machine with

emerge -e @world

but portage still wants to rebuild the same 18 packages.

 

Here is the output from emerge --info

Does anyone know how I should troubleshot this?

[Emerge calls a newer version of Nvidia driver]

Hi,

Have you masked the unsupported nvidia-driver versions in /etc/portage/package.mask according to the instructions in https://www.funtoo.org/Package:NVIDIA_Linux_Display_Drivers ?

BR,

Niklas

[Distcc makeopts]

I started to think about another thing.

When using distcc under gentoo, one has to explicitly set CFLAGS & CXXFLAGS, and not use -march=native.

How is this handled on funtoo with subarch profiles? Should i set CFLAGS & CXXFLAGS in make.conf?

I guess I do not have to. Because distcc is working just fine.

[Distcc makeopts]

Okay. Thanks for the clarification.

[Distcc makeopts]

I recently noticed this post by Oleg

He mentions that setting makeopts is not really necessary.

Is that true even when using distcc?

I currently have this in my make.conf

MAKEOPTS="-j65 -l8"
FEATURES="distcc distcc-pump"

Is my makeopts line unnecessary?

[Funtoo Current Xfce New Installation desktop problem]

I've installed Funtoo Current to try it again, because stable version is now deprecated.

I have some problems with Xfce desktop:

1) The desktop icons appears with an horrible white background text labels; the file .gtkrc-2.0 to enable transparent label text background as no effect

2) The xfce4-places-plugins crashes;

3) Lightdm don't remember last user; every time i must digit my username

 

With other my old Funtoo (stable)/Gentoo Xfce installations i don't have these problems.

 

can anyone help me?

 

1) I have not had this problem

2) I dont have xfce4-places-plugin installed

3) This however is something I am also having trouble with. And I have still not found any solution.

 

I am also having trouble since xfce-extra/xfce4-mixer started to fail during build. (gentoo bug #628424)

NOTE: The --autounmask-keep-masks option will prevent emerge
      from creating package.unmask or ** keyword changes.

Would you like to add these changes to your config files? [Yes/No] n

Is this something that's happening to you as well?
