Funtoo Linux BDFL drobbins Posted July 17, 2019 Funtoo Linux BDFL Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hey everyone, I have added documentation on how to essentially get Steam running in Funtoo using LXD. First, you will want to follow these instructions to get LXD running: https://www.funtoo.org/LXD Then, follow these instructions, which will get you to the point of setting up a multilib Gentoo container that can run glxgears. At that point, getting Steam running should be pretty straightforward: https://www.funtoo.org/LXD/GPU_Acceleration Please test it out and let me know how it works.

Funtoo Linux BDFL drobbins Posted July 17, 2019 Author Funtoo Linux BDFL Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Also, it should now be possible to post replies here if you are an active forums member.... hopefully it's working ? AdiosKid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funtoo Linux BDFL drobbins Posted July 18, 2019 Author Funtoo Linux BDFL Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Also note that for now, if you are using nvidia drivers, add an --exclude nvidia-kernel-modules to your emerge line when emerging everything. The nvidia-kernel-modules won't build in containers and you don't need them anyway. I will look into a fix for this. AdiosKid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funtoo Linux BDFL drobbins Posted July 18, 2019 Author Funtoo Linux BDFL Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 In my testing, the --exclude method did not work and I manually modified the PDEPEND in nvidia-drivers in /var/git/meta-repo/kits for now as a local work-around. Just a note -- you will likely need to do this too. Other option is to also --exclude nvidia-drivers and then do an emerge -1 nvidia-drivers --exclude nvidia-kernel-modules after the big emerge.

Funtoo Linux BDFL drobbins Posted July 19, 2019 Author Funtoo Linux BDFL Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 I've removed the PDEPEND from nvidia-drivers so they don't automatically install nvidia-kernel-modules. But nvidia-kernel-modules has nvidia-drivers as a dependency. So if you are installing on bare metal, do emerge nvidia-kernel-modules and you will get everything you need, and if you are installing in container, emerge nvidia-drivers and it will skip the modules. This should be in the live tree for 1.4 already. AdiosKid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
