tyme Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 did you try emerging the mod-utils package and then emerging nvidia and kde? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddler Posted August 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 It also failed with the same error BTW I did get rid of my vcron error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 hmm...odd. did you try searching the gentoo forums to see if it's a known problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddler Posted August 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 yeah it wasn't much help at all tried searching the net but that wasn't much help either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 you sure the gentoo forums wasn't of any help? ;-) try: CFLAGS="-O2" emerge modutils and see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddler Posted August 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 tried the CFLAGS="-2" thing and all it did was shoot out unrecognized option looked on the gentoo forums again and found a guy with the same problem but no one posted a solution and my dang account is still inactive so I can't even post to find the solution please help i really appreciate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Have you followed this guide. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/desktop.xml I've done it several times and never had a problem? When you get to this point: emerge nvidia-glx is that when you get the error? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddler Posted August 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 That is what I've been following and yes when I get to emerge nvidia-glx is when I get the problem I tried skipping it, thinking I could later install it in KDE but kde craps out on me in the same way. I know skipping was probably not the best solution but I just thought I'd try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 what does your /etc/make.conf look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddler Posted August 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 The only non-commented areas are USE="kde qt -gnome -gtk cups" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -03 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 arch" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Try: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -up kde or nvidia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddler Posted August 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 OK!!! It gave me some green text and said portage will stop and complete the merge on both nvidia and its kernel but when I modprobe nvidia it says there is no module so i tried starting X and the instructions said i would get the nvidia splash screen but i didn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 did you edit: /etc/X11/XF86Config replace "nv" w/ "nvidia" Also uncomment "glx" & "dri" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddler Posted August 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 did that still need to uncomment dri but i did a emerge -u without the p and it looks like it's working (Knock on Wood) hopefully it will work and I will uncomment the dri THanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
