Can't update to kernel 4.15-1 due to nvidia-340xx

Dear fellas,

I wonder if there is any workaround to upgrade to the latest 4.15-1 kernel using the current nvidia-340xx..

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: nvidia-340xx: installing linux (4.15-1) breaks dependency 'linux<4.15'

While I was flagging nvidia-340xx as outdated, I learned that the package is "Orphan" regarding maintainers.

Any clue on this matter is appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for sharing this info..
Do you have any clue if Giancarlo Razzolini adopted the nvidia-340xx package or not?

Re: Can't update to kernel 4.15-1 due to nvidia-340xx

Does Nouveau could be an option to Nvidia-340xx?

Re: Can't update to kernel 4.15-1 due to nvidia-340xx

That was a reply to your query regarding the 340xx package ownership. Your nouveau question makes no sense. You either use nouveau, or you use nvidia's driver -- you can't use both.

I didn't say to use both together, I don't know where did you read this. Anyway, let me make myself clear this time..  I was asking people for sharing their experiences on the subject of dropping nvidia and got started to use nouveau.

Re: Can't update to kernel 4.15-1 due to nvidia-340xx

If you are asking if nouveau supports the same cards as nvidia-340xx and can be used as an alternative, then have a look here and here. Click the chipset name in the column header to get a list of cards with that chipset.

Install it yourself and see. No-one else can hold your hand for this.

Re: Can't update to kernel 4.15-1 due to nvidia-340xx

If you have an 800 series or higher then 3D performance with nouveau will be about 5-10% of what you get with the nvidia driver - if you're lucky.

@loqs: That is most likely not enough, the mailing list thread mentions a new patch is needed as well, maybe this:

Re: Can't update to kernel 4.15-1 due to nvidia-340xx

May I ask why you need the 4.15 kernel? I am always curious when people want to use a kernel that causes other problems.


How to post. A sincere effort to use modest and proper language and grammar is a sign of respect toward the community.

Well, I think that the bleeding cutting edge is, ALSO, one of the faces of Arch Linux.. so makes sense that as an Arch Linux user, I wish to be at the edge as to the others big_smile

Re: Can't update to kernel 4.15-1 due to nvidia-340xx

@progandy It gained 4.15 compatibility with the update from 104 to 106 it still needs the 4.11 patch as the conftests are not executed fortunately the timer test defaults to being 4.15 compatible.
Edit:
makepkg output too many warnings to post in code but it does build successfully.
