eselect-opengl-1.3.3_p1 "Invalid symbolic links"

[EoD]

$ eselect opengl list
!!! Error: Invalid symbolic links: OpenGL implementation "" symbolic links are missing.
Available OpenGL implementations:
 (none found)
exiting

Any more information I can provide?

[sjnewbury]

Hopefully fixed now with changes to x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers. Please report back if still having issues, Sorry for taking so long, been busy playing Elite Dangerous! ;-)

[EoD]

@sjnewbury no sorry. I never had the nvidia-drivers installed and with =app-eselect/eselect-opengl-1.3.3_p1::gentoo-gpu I am still getting

# eselect opengl list
!!! Error: Invalid symbolic links: OpenGL implementation "" symbolic links are missing.
Available OpenGL implementations:
  (none found)
exiting

while app-eselect/eselect-opengl-1.3.1-r4::gentoo yields

# eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL implementations:
  [1]   xorg-x11

[sjnewbury]

Weird.

I get:

eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL implementations:
[1] glvnd
[2] nvidia
[3] primus
[4] xorg-x11 *

[sjnewbury]

Did you install mesa from the gentoo-gpu overlay too?

[EoD]

@sjnewbury No, I am running a (more or less) stable system and media-libs/mesa-9999-r1::gentoo-gpu from gpu-overlay is masked, while app-eselect/eselect-opengl-1.3.3_p1::gentoo-gpu is stable.

[EoD]

@sjnewbury I installed media-libs/mesa-9999-r1::gentoo-gpu and I am experiencing the same error.

[sjnewbury]

I need to mark eselect-opengl-1.3.3_p1 as unstable or un-KEYWORD it entirely. It works well for me, but it shouldn't get pulled in automatically for people running "stable".

[sjnewbury]

I'll see if I can help work out why it's not working though, but I can't do that until later this afternoon.

[sjnewbury]

@EoD Can you run "eselect --debug opengl list" and attach the output to this bug?

[EoD]

@sjnewbury not sure what you are up to here

$ eselect --debug opengl list
!!! Error: Unknown option --debug
exiting

See http://praxis.edoceo.com/man/1/ESELECT

[sjnewbury]

@EoD Hmm works for me... okay I've got debug available because I'm using the enhanced eselect from the "science" overlay. Can you install that and see?

[EoD]

I don't like the idea of installing another overlay in order to run gentoo-gpu.

I tried it nevertheless and I got the following conflicts, which I do not want to remove now:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U ~] app-admin/eselect-1.4.10-r100::science [1.4.8::gentoo] USE="vim-syntax -doc -emacs" 174 KiB
[blocks B      ] app-eselect/eselect-lapack ("app-eselect/eselect-lapack" is blocking app-admin/eselect-1.4.10-r100)
[blocks B      ] app-eselect/eselect-blas ("app-eselect/eselect-blas" is blocking app-admin/eselect-1.4.10-r100)

Would be great if you could mask your package first and then try to fix this bug here (as it seems to be more complicated).

[sjnewbury]

It should be keyword masked already, I changed it yesterday.

That's fair enough, I don't want you to break your system! I was just hoping for something more to go on since I'd like to know why it isn't working for you.
