Bug 141363 – eselect after emerging nvidia-glx can't switch OpenGL interface

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Aben Siatris 2006-07-22 01:06:40 UTC]

After emerging nvidia-glx-1.0.8762, portage starts process with message:
Switching to xorg-x11 OpenGL interface...
that never stops and consume full CPU time for hours.
It is unknown problem with the eselect program (1.0.2)

Just to let you know nvidia-glx & nvidia-kernel are being replaced by nvidia-drivers.

emerge -C nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel
emerge -av nvidia-drivers

[Comment 2 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2006-07-22 01:17:39 UTC]

Reopen when you have more information.

You might want upgrade your system, as gcc 3.3.6, glibc 2.3.5 are not latest stable anymore. What else is outdated? Maybe it's been fixed allready?

Might want to look at /usr/lib/opengl that directory structure, symlinks and files are allright.

[Comment 3 Aben Siatris 2006-07-22 02:40:18 UTC]

I have tried the nvidia-drivers, but with same problem of eselect.
all in /usr/lib/opengl looks fine.

now I'm trying to upgrade gcc, glibc, and rekompile nvidia-drivers, eselect, eselect-opengl and opengl-update.

btw: There is none reason to manually upgrade gcc and glibc when any ebuild depends on new versions.

[Comment 4 Aben Siatris 2006-07-22 03:57:35 UTC]

upgrading gcc, glibc and reemerging packages not solved the problem.
but I found when eselect upgrades opengl, runs this command:
$eselect env update

with this output:

Why did you stick your iptables rules into /etc/env.d ??? Delete the file and try again.

[Comment 6 Aben Siatris 2006-07-23 03:00:02 UTC]

after deleting this file, all works fine.
but I have not created the file rules-save :-O
