[SOLVED] Nvidia DKMS problems with new 6.9.3-zen1-1-zen kernel

Daedalus24 · 2024-06-04 06:24:13

After updating the kernel, I get the following error message

 
(1/3) Arming ConditionNeedsUpdate...
(2/3) Install DKMS modules
==> dkms install --no-depmod nvidia/470.239.06 -k 6.9.3-zen1-1-zen

Is there any one that encountered the same problem? I think the solution is to upgrade my current NVIDIA Quadro K600 obsolete video card with an ATI graphic card or something more recent.

Thank you.

It looks like the zen build succeeds but there's a stale(?) dkms entry for the non-zen kernel?

dkms status

I do not have other kernel installed, but I have both linux-zen-headers and linux-headers 6.9.3.arch1-1. Nevertheless, X windows starts when launched from the command line. Is it advisable to deinstall linux-headers 6.9.3-arch1-1 ?

If I look for orphan packages

xbps-query -O

returns nothing.

Thank you.

Just uninstall linux-headers if you do not have the linux package installed.

And please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

The package is likely not orphaned because it's explcitily installed.

pacman -Qi linux-headers # check for the reason

Having the headers around doesn't cause any harm beyond that noise but is obviously also completely pointless.

Well, yes "Install Reason : Explicitly installed" (kinda as expected)
As suggested, just remove the package - it serves no purpose w/o matching kernel.

I did it, and everything is all right now. Thank you once more.
