this was happening to me too but now it's suddenly working ... [ebuild R ] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174 [ebuild R ] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-r4 [ebuild R ] x11-base/opengl-update-2.2.1 [ebuild R ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.12 well i tried re-emerging the pkgs you listed a few times but i still cant get it working... still sigs for me yeah, not sure what i changed to get it working on my box either :/ so if you do `emerge =baselayout-1.11.11* && etc-update`, then starting X works fine ? and when you do `emerge =baselayout-1.11.12* && etc-update`, it fails with sig11 ? I had a possilby related problem when upgrading to baselayout-1.11.12, my xorg did load, but it reverted back to 640x480 resolution, whereas I normally sit at 1024x768. I didn't really have the time to mess with it so I kicked back to baselayout-1.11.11-r3 and the problem went away. I remember seeing an error message in Xorg, something like this: (EE) TRIDENT couldnt read SYS_BIOS or something to that nature..I'm just pulling that from memory, but after going back to 1.11.11-r3 the error disappeared...if you need more info I can test further.. "yeah, not sure what i changed to get it working on my box either :/ so if you do `emerge =baselayout-1.11.11* && etc-update`, then starting X works fine ? and when you do `emerge =baselayout-1.11.12* && etc-update`, it fails with sig11 ?" yes .... except i would run etc-update and reboot to restart all the init.d services... i only edited /etc/ conf.d/rc from each baselayout emerge... the rest are just init.d scripts I seem to have found another baselayout 1.11.12 bug which prevents mplayer from playing files see thread http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-338243-highlight-.html reverting to 1.11.11-r3 and rebooting fixed the problem on 2 systems. strangely, I don't fit into this. changing baselayout doesn't fix anything for me. it's been some time since i rebooted with changes so i may have to work on this for a while to find out what upgrade actually broke things. what i can say: (i'm on amd64) 1) changing baselayout has no effect 2) X starts up with the xorg nv driver 3) X crashes with the nvidia driver 4) previous kernel and previous nvidia driver also crash so i suspect a dependancy changed and is causing the crash but i'm going to try bumping down nvidia anyway http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-338323.html This is the same problem I was having with baselayout 1.11.12..Except I have the TRIDENT driver..Same error message though.. see Bug 92921 if you emerge baselayout-1.11.12, reboot, and then run `mount /dev -o remount,exec`, does everything work ? Will test it this evening when I have access to my Gentoo box..Thanks! yes... logging in as root then doing mount /dev -o remount,exec fixes the issue for me... but no nvidia splash screen is shown so i would suspect there is still some wierdness. hi, i got the same problem, the mount /dev -o remount,exec fixes it. i made quick search and it appears that modifying the /sbin/rc (line 263) try mount -n -t ${mntcmd} udev /dev -o noexec,nosuid,mode=0755 with try mount -n -t ${mntcmd} udev /dev -o exec,nosuid,mode=0755 allows me not to do the trick at every reboot. I'm using an dell inspiron 8600 with nvidia FX5200: [ebuild R ] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174 [ebuild R ] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-r4 [ebuild R ] x11-base/opengl-update-2.2.1 [ebuild R ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.12 bug 92921 has the proper fix - changing /sbin/rc:263 so it mounts /dev -o exec. I confirm this bug with baselayout-1.11.12 and the resolution by changing the /sbin/rc script on amd64. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 92921 *** |
