Arch + NVIDIA + grsecurity

Utini · 2016-01-23 11:27:26

Hey there,

I am running Archlinux with an Intel GPU + NVIDIA GPU (bumblebee setup) and installed linux-grsec. The Archwiki says that for some nvidia modules a patched linux-grsec-nvidia might be need (which comes from the AUR but I would like to stay with a grsec kernel vom the official repo's). Is there a way to get NVIDIA running with linux-grsec as it is? E.g. by creating exceptions for NVIDIA?

E.g. I get the following errors:

sneida@_____:~$ primusrun screenfetch
[[ ! ]] modprobe: FATAL: Module nvidia not found in directory /lib/modules/4.3.3.201601192226-1-grsec

What's wrong with nvidia-gsrec? It can be used with linux-grsec from repo

I would prefer staying away from the AUR as much as possible and using mainly the official repo's.

But it seems like there is no way around nvidia-grsec?
