Emerge is trying to pull in an incompatible nvidia-drivers version

leeflemingster · May 2, 2019

I have nvidia-drivers-340.107 installed and working. An emerge -uDaN world produces the following

The following mask changes are necessary to proceed:
 (see "package.unmask" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by dev-util/nvidia-cuda-toolkit-9.2.88::dev-kit
# required by dev-cpp/eigen-3.3.5-r1::dev-kit[cuda]

# required by media-plugins/frei0r-plugins-1.6.1.20190222::media-kit[facedetect]

# required by @selected
# required by @world (argument)
# /etc/portage/package.mask:
=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-410.93

I have an nvidia quadro fx 580. According to nvidia's website the drivers for this card are 340.xx. https://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html

I have the following in my /etc/portage/package.mask

>=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-341.0.0

As these packages are trying to pull in an incompatible version of the drivers I tried just masking them. So my /etc/portage/package.mask now looks like this.

>=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-341.0.0
>=dev-util/nvidia-cuda-toolkit-9.2.88
>=dev-cpp/eigen-3.3.5-r1
>=media-libs/opencv-3.4.1-r4
>=media-plugins/frei0r-plugins-1.6.1.20190222
>=media-video/ffmpeg-3.4.5
>=media-plugins/alsa-plugins-1.1.7-r1
>=media-sound/pulseaudio-12.2
>=lxqt-base/lxqt-panel-0.13.0
>=lxqt-base/lxqt-meta-0.13.0

Emerge is still failing. After a few rounds of repeating the above my /etc/portage/package.mask is now

>=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-341.0.0
# The following are required to prevent the wrong nvidia-drivers being pulled in.
>=dev-util/nvidia-cuda-toolkit-9.2.88
>=dev-cpp/eigen-3.3.5-r1
>=media-libs/opencv-3.4.1-r4
>=media-plugins/frei0r-plugins-1.6.1.20190222
>=media-video/ffmpeg-3.2.6
>=media-plugins/alsa-plugins-1.1.7
>=media-sound/pulseaudio-12.2
>=lxqt-base/lxqt-panel-0.13.0
>=lxqt-base/lxqt-meta-0.13.0
>=media-video/nvidia_video_sdk-6.0.1

But now I'm getting the following.

What do I need to do to stop the wrong nvidia-drivers being pulled in?

cardinal · May 2, 2019

Three methods to prevent updating version:

Mask greater than the specific installed version:

>x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-340.107

Use the --noreplace option

emerge -av --noreplace =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-340.107

Use the exclude option:

emerge -avuDN world --exclude=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers

leeflemingster · May 3, 2019

None of these solutions appear to work.

My /etc/portage/package.mask is now just.

>x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-340.107

The --noreplace option gives.

# emerge -av --noreplace "=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-340.107"

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Total: 0 packages, Size of downloads: 0 KiB

The exclude option gives.

Ok, thanks.

I don't appear to be able to create an account on bugs.funtoo.org. When I go to request an account it just says.

It doesn't allow me to login with my forum account.

leeflemingster · May 4, 2019

Tried that but it just redirects me to https://www.funtoo.org/Welcome after login in. I've also looked thorough the settings for 2FA, but can't find anything.

leeflemingster · May 4, 2019

Correct. I can not log into code.funtoo.org. I even logged out of the forum and back in to make sure it wasn't something silly like using the wrong password.

leeflemingster · May 4, 2019

I've just found the problem. When loggin into bugs.funtoo.org the username is case sensitive and has to be all lower case. When loggin into forums.funtoo.org the username is not case sensitive.

Cuda is not supported by legacy nvidia-driver-340.107

Don't set gfxcard-nvidia mix-ins with legacy driver as it adds cuda use flag to make.defaults

Cuda use flag is enabled on multiple packages on your system pulling in nvidia-cuda-toolkit which pulls in nvidia-driver-410.93

Disable cuda use flag from every package on your system.

Use this command to find the packages with cuda enabled:

USE="cuda"; for PKG in $(equery -q hasuse $USE); do echo $PKG: $(equery -q uses $PKG |grep $USE); done

At the minimum these 2 packages have cuda enabled:

# required by dev-cpp/eigen-3.3.5-r1::dev-kit[cuda]
[ebuild R ] media-libs/opencv-3.4.1-r4 USE="cuda* opencl*"

I run nvidia-8400GS with nvidia-driver-340.107 with >x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-340.107 in package.mask

No issue with portage wanting to install nvidia-cuda-toolkit and upgrade nvidia-driver.

All packages with cuda use option on my system have it disabled "-cuda"

rj@funtoo ~ $  USE="cuda"; for PKG in $(equery -q hasuse $USE); do echo $PKG: $(equery -q uses $PKG |grep $USE); done
dev-cpp/eigen-3.3.5-r1: -cuda
media-libs/opencv-3.4.1-r4: -cuda
media-video/mpv-0.27.2: -cuda

Check and avoid user override configs made in /etc/portage/make.conf , /etc/portage/packages.{use,mask,unmask}.

The Block on your system is caused by having apulse installed with pulseaudio use enabled.

[blocks B      ] media-plugins/alsa-plugins[pulseaudio] ("media-plugins/alsa-plugins[pulseaudio]" is hard blocking media-sound/apulse-0.1.12-r4)

Remove apulse and install pulseaudio.

If you configure pulseaudio as minimal unintrusive dumb pipe to alsa you don't need alsa-plugins or the pulseaudio use flag enabled.

Pulse auto-spawns when needed by pre-compiled firefox-bin or any other program with a pulseaudio driver.

Programs with alsa drivers work as well.

leeflemingster · May 7, 2019

Thanks. Removing the gfxcard-nvidia mix-in has fixed the nvidia problem. As for the blocking package, I don't appear to have apulse installed and pulseaudio is already installed.

I've added the following to /etc/portage/package.use but the block is still there.

www-client/firefox-bin -pulseaudio

# emerge -auND world          

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Remove the package.use disabling pulseaudio for firefox-bin

If pulseaudio has the alsa-plugins use flag enabled, then alsa-plugins becomes a depends of pulseaudio.

rj@funtoo ~ $ equery depends alsa-plugins 
 * These packages depend on alsa-plugins:
media-sound/pulseaudio-12.2 (alsa-plugin ? >=media-plugins/alsa-plugins-1.0.27-r1[pulseaudio,-mgorny(-)])

Disable alsa-plugin use flag for pulseaudio depends and you will not be forced into installing alsa-plugins.

rj@funtoo ~ $ cat /etc/portage/package.use/pulseaudio
media-sound/pulseaudio -alsa-plugin

Emerge is trying to pull in an incompatible nvidia-drivers version
