New nvidia-settings broken

Hyonane · 01-27-2015, 12:35 PM

The new nvidia prop driver have a new thing and nvidia-settings now uses gkt3 by default, or something like that. But its not working on Slack. I have the bumblebee setup, and it gives me this message now:

bash-4.3# nvidia-settings

ERROR: libnvidia-gtk3.so.346.35: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libnvidia-gtk3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libnvidia-gtk2.so.346.35: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libnvidia-gtk2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

ERROR: A problem occured when loading the GUI library. Please check your installation and library path. You may need to specify this library when calling nvidia-settings. Please run
`nvidia-settings --help` for usage information.

Not sure if its the way the installation is made in the bumblebee script or something else. I'll try to poke around the bumblebee-nvidia slackbuild later.

FYI, version bumping the nvidia-driver and nvidia-kernel scripts from SBo with 346.35 seems to work fine here (no bumblebee).

--use-gtk2 option

read release note: Added the nvidia-settings option --use-gtk2 to force the use of the GTK+ 2 UI library.

slackbuild nvidi-driver: 340.65 has broken my amd and nvidia mixed system, 340.76 was released today and fixed this problem.

Edit: there are still problem with 340.76, all screen number is messed up, can't have 2 different screen 0 from different video chip vendors. back to 340.58 works.

As i said ( or tried to) in the initial post, the nvidia-settings cant find the gtk3 nor the gtk2 libs, as it says in the error.

bash-4.3# nvidia-settings --use-gtk2

ERROR: libnvidia-gtk2.so.346.35: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libnvidia-gtk2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Did you run "ldconfig" after installing?

I don't have this problem with 346.35 on 14.1 multilib.
There's no output at all when I run nvidia-settings from terminal.
It still exits with segmentation fault whenever I close the window, but I think it's a completely different issue.

Have you tried nvidia.run --uninstall before upgrading the driver?
Maybe some leftover from old driver did this, I have seen it happen before.

I believe the script you use to install the NVIDIA driver just doesn't include the libnvidia-gtk2.so.346.35 and libnvidia-gtk3.so.346.35 files.

EDIT: If it's similar to the nvidia-driver SlackBuild you'll probably need to add something like (untested BTW, I just use the binary installer, which has stopped removing libEGL.la ... for now):

Code:

install -m 755 libnvidia-gtk2.so.$VERSION $PKG/usr/lib$LIBDIRSUFFIX/
install -m 755 libnvidia-gtk3.so.$VERSION $PKG/usr/lib$LIBDIRSUFFIX/

I am also running this nvidia driver with the bumblebee setup... without issues. The package creates a menu item under settings that should run it properly. To do it from the command line you need to run

Code:

optirun nvidia-settings -c :8

Not sure what is causing the issues tho you describe above. Have you removed stock slackware packages from your system? What version of slackware are you running?

I can confirm this suggestion works, have been using that with the beta driver through a modified slackbuild with those exact lines for a while now.

Hyonane · 01-29-2015, 04:00 AM

No, i havent removed anything from the default full install. Just checked and the 340.76 packages (nvidia-bumblebee and nvidia-kernel) opens the nvidia-settings normally.

When i added the :

install -m 755 libnvidia-gtk2.so.$VERSION $PKG/usr/lib$LIBDIRSUFFIX/
install -m 755 libnvidia-gtk3.so.$VERSION $PKG/usr/lib$LIBDIRSUFFIX/

to the slackbuild, the compilation failed.

I'll do a fresh install later and ill update about this.

Hyonane · 01-30-2015, 11:05 AM

Well, i kept digging around in this. Looks like now i only get those errors if im starting from the terminal, in my need fresh slackware install ( when i created this post, it was not). When i start the nvidia-settings shortcut on the KDE or XFCE menus, it goes on normally.

After making sure those 2 libraries was being compiled, from the terminal, the nvidia-settings opens with:

optirun nvidia-settings -I /usr/lib64/nvidia-bumblebee/libnvidia-gtk2.so.346.35 -c :8

The gtk3.so library works too.

ryanpcmcquen · 01-30-2015, 03:45 PM

Still broken for me. :-(

ryanpcmcquen · 01-30-2015, 04:05 PM

Somehow my libs ended up in /usr/local/lib/

Code:

ry@/usr:$ find -name "libnvidia-*"
./lib/nvidia-bumblebee/libnvidia-glcore.so.346.35
./lib/nvidia-bumblebee/libnvidia-tls.so.346.35
./lib/nvidia-bumblebee/libnvidia-ml.so.1
./lib/nvidia-bumblebee/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.346.35
./lib/nvidia-bumblebee/libnvidia-ml.so.346.35
./lib/nvidia-bumblebee/libnvidia-ml.so
./lib/nvidia-bumblebee/libnvidia-compiler.so.346.35
./local/lib/libnvidia-gtk2.so.346.35
./local/lib/libnvidia-gtk3.so.346.35
./lib64/nvidia-bumblebee/libnvidia-glcore.so.346.35
./lib64/nvidia-bumblebee/libnvidia-cfg.so
./lib64/nvidia-bumblebee/libnvidia-cfg.so.346.35
./lib64/nvidia-bumblebee/libnvidia-cfg.so.1
./lib64/nvidia-bumblebee/libnvidia-tls.so.346.35
./lib64/nvidia-bumblebee/libnvidia-ml.so.1
./lib64/nvidia-bumblebee/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.346.35
./lib64/nvidia-bumblebee/libnvidia-wfb.so.346.35
./lib64/nvidia-bumblebee/libnvidia-ml.so.346.35
./lib64/nvidia-bumblebee/libnvidia-ml.so
./lib64/nvidia-bumblebee/libnvidia-compiler.so.346.35
ry@/usr:$

This works:

Code:

optirun nvidia-settings -I /usr/local/lib/libnvidia-gtk3.so.346.35

Is the nvidia-bumblebee SlackBuild script the one at https://github.com/WhiteWolf1776/Bum...idia-bumblebee?

A few observations:
1. I think it leaks files. Starting with v346.35, the nvidia-settings package now creates the libnvidia-gtk{2,3}.so.${VERSION} libraries, so LIBDIR=/package/library/location needs to be added to the respective make install line. Otherwise it installs to the default location of /usr/local/lib while the package is being made.
2. The nvidia-settings and nvidia-xconfig packages don't actually need to be downloaded or used. Except for NV-CONTROL-API.txt and FRAMELOCK.txt(which aren't important), all the files that are installed from those packages are actually present in the NVIDIA binary installer. So the SlackBuild could be simplified slightly.
