Description Silvio 2023-07-09 21:37:09 UTC
After the global update of the system (emerge -NDavu world), X doesn't start anymore.

In /var/log/Xorg.0.log it appears:

[    23.094] (EE) modeset(G0): Failed to create pixmap

I have double Intel+Nvidia cards. Unistalling nvidia-drivers:

emerge -C nvidia-drivers

solved the issue but I have no more the nvida for cuda capabilities.



Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Silvio 2023-07-10 08:14:49 UTC
Another workaround is to comment the line

options nvidia-drm modeset=1

in:

/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf


that is probably the source of the problem.
Comment 2 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2023-07-10 17:52:47 UTC
Please provide emerge --info and change the bug status to UNCONFIRMED.
Comment 3 Silvio 2023-07-10 20:45:52 UTC

This gets enabled with USE=wayland, did that get enabled recently for you? Beside that there hasn't been a new nvidia-drivers version in ~arch in nearly a month (535.54.03 was June 14), so unless your system was very out of date I doubt it was caused by a new version.

The ebuild gives a warning about it the first time it's enabled, it's required for wayland but it's not compatible with every setups.

I happened after an update of a very old system (no update for two months).
So it is not compatible with my system. But I cannot use wayland disabling it?

I see, that probably explains why USE=wayland got (newly) enabled then. You are on a plasma profile and that profile enabled USE=wayland by default on May 21. And then the ebuild uncomments the modeset=1 line for default configs when that is set.

> So it is not compatible with my system.
It's possible something is just not setup right with your dual gpu setup (e.g. Xorg configs), but I don't think I can help with that given I don't have such setup myself.

>But I cannot use wayland disabling
Yes, you'll just get errors if you try to use wayland without modeset=1. Albeit wayland is still finnicky with NVIDIA so I personally wouldn't be in a hurry to switch to it and that may eventually resolve itself. It's even worse with offloading/multi-gpu setups, albeit some improvements for that are supposedly coming in the next nvidia-545 drivers.

Either way, don't think there's much I can do here. Feel free to try different things, otherwise revert to how it used to be (USE=-wayland to skip some unnecessary deps, or comment out the line).

Or at least if it's using NVIDIA anyway. You'd have no problems if it just uses intel.
