I tried to install version 319.12 of the nvidia-drivers by version bumping the 313.30 ebuild. Everything works up until the unpack step when I got the following error: * I'm sorry, but I was unable to support the Makeself file. * The version I detected was '1.6.0-nv2'. I added this version to the unpacker script and reran the emerge and got a different error message: * Unknown filetype "XZ compressed data" ? * ERROR: x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-319.12 failed (unpack phase): It appears that the -nv2 version is using xz compression. I added that to the list of filetypes and reran the emerge and everything installed fine. I assume that in the future all nvidia drivers will be xz compressed so we might as well add support for this. P.S. the beta nvidia drivers are working fine as well. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 345070 [details, diff] Patch to add support for 1.6.0-nv2 and xz compression
Created attachment 345126 [details] unpacker.eclass patch for 1.6.0-nv2 / XZ compression
(In reply to comment #0) > P.S. the beta nvidia drivers are working fine as well. I see lots of kernel BUGs and nvidia-settings segfaults a lot, so I have package.masked =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-319.12.
