Bug 443594 – =media-video/nvidia-settings-304.60 stable request

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Daniel Nilsson 2012-11-17 10:23:31 UTC]

A few days ago nvidia-drivers-304.60 was stabilized in Bug 438246.
The current stable nvidia-settings is 295.20, which depends on nvidia-drivers-2*.
This prevents an upgrade of nvidia-drivers on my stable amd64 system.
I guess nvidia-settings should have been stabilized at together with the drivers.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -av1 =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-3*

Actual Results:  
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U  ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-304.60 [295.71] USE="X%* (multilib) tools -acpi -pax_kernel%" 62,644 kB

Total: 1 package (1 upgrade), Size of downloads: 62,644 kB

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers:0

  (x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-304.60::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
    =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-3*

  (x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-295.71::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
    =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-2* required by (media-video/nvidia-settings-295.20::gentoo, installed)


Expected Results:  
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-304.60 installed without conflict.

On my system media-video/nvidia-settings is pulled in by app-admin/conky.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 438246 ***

[Comment 2 Christopher Head 2012-11-18 06:12:14 UTC]

Sorry, but how is this a duplicate? #438246 is about stabilizing x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers (which has happened). This bug, #443594, is about stabilizing media-video/nvidia-settings (which has not happened). I don’t actually know why media-video/nvidia-settings exists (considering x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers also provides the nvidia-settings binary), but the fact remains that media-video/nvidia-drivers has revdeps which pull it in (among them app-admin/conky and xfce-extra/xfce4-sensors-plugin) and on a system in that situation, it prevents the upgrade of x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers.

[Comment 3 Christopher Head 2012-11-18 06:13:07 UTC]

Oh, I’m sorry Chí-Thanh, I only saw the comments, I did not realize you had un-duplicated the bug!

[Comment 4 Christian Ruppert (idl0r) 2012-11-23 23:10:01 UTC]

@Arch teams, please stabilize =nvidia-drivers-304.60.

[Comment 5 Sergey Popov (RETIRED) 2012-11-24 16:48:27 UTC]

I would like to know is there any particular reason in stabilizing 304.60 when we have 304.64 already stable, according to bug 443726?

[Comment 6 Sergey Popov (RETIRED) 2012-11-24 16:50:16 UTC]

More than this - it is already stabilized:

  18 Nov 2012; Agostino Sarubbo <[e-mail]>
  nvidia-drivers-173.14.36.ebuild, nvidia-drivers-304.60.ebuild,
  nvidia-drivers-304.64.ebuild, nvidia-drivers-96.43.23.ebuild:
  stable on amd64 and x86

[Comment 7 Mike Williams 2012-11-24 17:01:28 UTC]

I think there is some misunderstanding here.
This bug is for media-video/nvidia-settings, not x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers.

The stable nvidia-settings has
RDEPEND="=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-2*"

So any user with nvidia-settings installed can't upgrade to =nvidia-drivers-3*

Maybe my original report was confusing because I mentioned nvidia-drivers so much.
Anyway, I added =media-video/nvidia-settings-304.60 to my package.accept_keywords and have used it for some days now. It seems to work good, conky shows the GPU temperature and I have tested the nvidia-settings GUI application.

(See also bug #444786)

[Comment 9 Joseph 2012-12-01 03:30:13 UTC]

I emerged "media-video/nvidia-settings-304.60" as well and it is working OK.
I think we can make it stable.

[Comment 10 Christian Ruppert (idl0r) 2012-12-04 20:48:11 UTC]

Once again: @Arch teams, please stabilize =nvidia-drivers-304.60.

My bad, sorry.

>Once again: @Arch teams, please stabilize =nvidia-drivers-304.60.

I think you are also mean 'nvidia-settings' here :-)

Damn, yes :(
Please stabilize *nvidia-settings-304.60*.
Sorry for the confusion.

[Comment 13 mike 2012-12-05 22:22:29 UTC]

x86 ok (repoman: ok, compilation: ok, usage: ok: various calls to nvidia-settings /w different options)

[Comment 14 Sergey Popov (RETIRED) 2012-12-06 10:33:24 UTC]

amd64 stable

[Comment 15 Tomasz Golinski 2012-12-15 18:14:58 UTC]

Isn't it possible to fix it for x86? It's been a month since the original stabilization, and till now upgrade to xorg-server-1.13 is still blocked on stable x86 for nvidia users - over something that trivial...

That is latest stable kernel. Aren't there any newer NVidia drivers ready?

P.S. I don't have the hardware to test this for functionality.

[Comment 17 Rutger van Bergen 2013-03-15 09:35:47 UTC]

Works OK on x86. Can it be marked stable on that arch as well?

[Comment 18 Daniel Pielmeier 2013-04-06 08:36:38 UTC]

@x86: Why can't this go stable finally?

[Comment 19 Agostino Sarubbo 2013-04-15 08:50:37 UTC]

x86 stable. Last arch, closing
