After the change to sys-devel/gcc-7.2.0 with PIE I am unable to build a kernel and the corresponding nvidia-drivers which boots, loads the X server and has GLX enabled. Boots equals a working notebook where I can use glxinfo and it says direct rendering yes. It means a working X server, a working text console. The status as of now is just init 3. gcc 6.4.0 with pie, which is marked stable, with stable marked nvidia-drivers has the same results. -- I changed the Localversion of the kernel to test ASUS-G75VW /home/roman # grep LOCAL /usr/src/linux linux/ linux-4.13.16-gentoo/ ASUS-G75VW /home/roman # grep LOCAL /usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="test" CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y CONFIG_HAVE_CMPXCHG_LOCAL=y CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y ASUS-G75VW /home/roman # emerge nvidia drivers @ gcc 7.2.0 + PIE + desktop 17 profile, after the full world set was converted to profile 17. - a few packages which makes fuss. most of those packages were nuked. sys-cluster/libdlm is critical and is still build with old gcc 5.4.0 and profile 13 desktop. it doeds not build. than build the kernel as usual moved it to /boot and set it active Nope box did not boot at all into the X server I get an error similar to this with nvidia-drivers, when i build it: cc1: error: code model kernel does not support PIC mode roman@ASUS-G75VW ~ $ glxinfo name of display: :0 Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig roman@ASUS-G75VW ~ $ qlist -Iv nvidia-drivers x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-387.34 roman@ASUS-G75VW ~ $ qlist -Iv sys-devel/gcc sys-devel/gcc-6.4.0 sys-devel/gcc-7.2.0 sys-devel/gcc-config-1.9.0-r1 roman@ASUS-G75VW ~ $ qlist -Iv gentoo-sources sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.13.16 roman@ASUS-G75VW ~ $ ASUS-G75VW /home/roman # eselect profile show Current /etc/portage/make.profile symlink: default/linux/amd64/17.0/desktop -- Final words http://www.gentooforum.de/artikel/22537/problem-bei-dem-profil-umstellung-13-17.html#post156520 https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1072934-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-175.html?sid=b94a389353c1c68e44eaa3de4be6e8a5 how about testing more the packages before making an eselect news where you enforce switchting profiles testing core components not only the system text editor is broken, named nano (nano does not build anymore!) sys-cluster/libdlm does not build anymore which is a requirement for lvm2 nvidia-drivers does not build anymore which is a requirement for using the X server or use any games spidermonkey needs a patch to even build it on gcc 7.2.0 cyrus-sasl is in a rebuild loop. I had to manually fix it because portage can't. And those revdep rebuild scripts, both the old and new one could als not do it. -- the above error " name of display: :0 - Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig" is caused because I am unable to rebuild the kernel + nvidia driver with PIE Please patch the ebuild. it is broken I also suspsect that the eselect opengl script is broken. That is a matter of investigation as of now
> how about testing more the packages before please read #641076, create a new ticket and attach your logs.
