[gentoo-user] trying to use Nouveau
Last month, I sent in a query re Nouveau : thanks for the replies. I have emerged it : root:508 log> eix nouveau [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau Available versions: 1.0.15 1.0.15-r1 Installed versions: 1.0.15-r1([2018-07-26 15:39:37]) Homepage:https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ Description: Accelerated Open Source driver for nVidia cards I have tried to switch to it with 'eselect opengl set xorg-x11' : root:507 log> eselect opengl list Available OpenGL implementations: [1] nvidia [2] xorg-x11 * I have renamed /lib/udev/rules.d/99-nvidia.rules by appending '.dft', as recommended in the Wiki. But when I 'startx' & then check /var/log/Xorg.0.log , I find : (II) Module glx: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.19.5, module version = 1.0.0 ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 10.0 (II) LoadModule: "nvidia" (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so (II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation" compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0 Module class: X.Org Video Driver (II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver 390.67 Fri Jun 1 02:45:19 PDT 2018 (II) NVIDIA Unified Driver for all Supported NVIDIA GPUs (--) using VT number 7 I suspect that I need to re-merge some pkgs ; I have added 'nouveau' to VIDEO_CARDS in make.conf , but it won't have an effect until a pkg is re-merged. Can anyone offer advice what to try next ? BTW the Wiki entry for 'nouveau' seems a bit out-of-date. -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT`-O--O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca

But the only versions in the tree are the following: 11.1 11.1-r1 [m](~)12.2 So, what I masked was the 12.2 version and there was still a conflict even though the 12.0 version was the one already installed. -- Your life is like a penny.

[gentoo-user] cann figure out this conflict
Hi. I seem to be having a blocker which involves pulseaudio, but from the portage output, I cannot figure out what the conflict is. I masked off >=media-sound/pulseaudio-12.2 and this is what I got, same thing happens if its unmasked. I am using unstable gentoo updated today. * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be^M * installed at the same time on the same system.^M ^M (media-sound/pulseaudio-12.0-r2:0/0::gentoo, installed) pulled in * by^M >=media-sound/pulseaudio-2[glib] required by * (gnome-base/gnome-control-center-3.24.4:2/2::gentoo, ebuild * scheduled for merge)^M >=media-sound/pulseaudio-3[glib] required by * (media-sound/pavucontrol-3.0:0/0::gentoo, installed)^M media-sound/pulseaudio required by * (www-client/firefox-61.0-r1:0/0::gentoo, installed)^M media-sound/pulseaudio required by * (media-video/mplayer-1.3.0-r5:0/0::gentoo, installed)^M >=media-sound/pulseaudio-2 required by * (gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon-3.24.4:0/0::gentoo, installed)^M >=media-sound/pulseaudio-12.0-r1[glib] required by * (media-sound/paprefs-0.9.11_pre20180621:0/0::gentoo, installed)^M ^M (media-sound/apulse-0.1.12:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for * merge) pulled in by^M media-sound/apulse required by @selected Thanks in advance for any suggestions to fix and tell me what the conflict is. -- Your life is like a penny.
