Issue with Nvidia-Dkms

When i'm trying to install nvidia-dkms this error occurs:

==> dkms install --no-depmod nvidia/545.29.06 -k 6.7.3-arch1-1

I'm using default linux kernel

Re: Issue with Nvidia-Dkms

Seems like it was some kind of a kernel bug, i've installed linux 6.6 and everything works fine

Re: Issue with Nvidia-Dkms

Same issue here, mkinitcpio fails during update to 6.7.3. I have downgraded both linux and linux-headers to 6.7.2 and it builds the image correctly. Using 535 drivers

This issue was already fixed. The problem here is your partial updates.

I'm forced to use 535.113.01, I can't use latest 545.29.06 driver because it does this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPd0uqozQvk

I just booted up without graphics and noticed these errors in DKMS log as well

ERROR: modpost: GPL-incompatible module nvidia.ko uses GPL-only symbol '__rcu_read_unlock'
ERROR: modpost: GPL-incompatible module nvidia.ko uses GPL-only symbol '__rcu_read_lock'

Is there a way I can keep using 535?

Re: Issue with Nvidia-Dkms

You'll need to patch it the same way that 545 was patched

Re: Issue with Nvidia-Dkms

FWIW assuming this is in a wayland session you might want to test nvidia-beta do go forward rather than backwards, if I'm reading the changelog right it contains a bunch of fixes for xwayland (alternatively/additionally you could test https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xorg … t-sync-git  which is an experimental patchset by nvidia to go towards explicit sync, which apparently is on the roadmap for most implementations anyway)

With nvidia-beta this issue persists.
Tried installing explicit sync patch from AUR and it still flickers, but differently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fZBd3oN4Wk

linux-lts-headers is installed on the system but not linux-lts?  This does not appear to be the same issue.  Please use code tags.

Yeah, I'm on the same boat here. Post 535 drivers are unusable for me, even with explicit sync patches installed. Latest working kernel is 6.7.1, so I guess I'll stick with that one until nvidia fix their drivers or something breaks.

Re: Issue with Nvidia-Dkms

Again, you have to patch your drivers the same way the nvidia-dkms package was patched. https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … 6f7767ad54

It looks like nvidia-535xx-dkms was already patched, too, which you should be using instead of just holding back an old package.

Re: Issue with Nvidia-Dkms

The nvidia-dkms package was relevantly patched, assuming the kernel developers don't break things again in a stable release you can generally assume this "fixed" and if something similar happens again it will likely be of a different nature.

If this is [SOLVED] please mark it as such by editing the title in your first post.
