This package exists for the specific purpose of adding ported patches based on those originally created by Alex Williamson for:

Arbitrary patches will not be added.

Refer to the wiki on PCI passthrough and this blog post on IOMMU groups for risks/caveats before using this package.

Regular AUR etiquette applies as well (knowledge of makepkg and searching the wiki/Arch forums is expected, and AUR helpers or Arch-based distros that are not Arch Linux are unsupported).

I've searched as extensively as I could manage. Every time was a fresh install. With or without nvidia drivers. Blacklisting nouveau or nvidia, setting a default output card does nothing, binding the card with pci-stub and/or vfio-bind doesn't change anything. Different desktop managers changes nothing, reinstalling desktop managers and Xorg doesn't change anything. Haven't found anything special in the logs I've looked at or using dmesg(or whatever it's called, I can't recall). If there are any other drivers I need to worry about I don't know which ones they are.

Honestly I'm at my wits end, I'm far from a veteran but I'm at least a decently good user, but nothing special. Though searches on google and scouring wikis and forums I haven't found anything that solves it. I've found ones with similar problems to mine, but either with no solution or one that doesn't work for me.

Is there a way to log the installation process of linux-vfio? I've noticed some red text pop up here and there, but am not sure how to get my hands on it. Only thought of that during my writing of this. Usually, at the end, or close to it, there is usually a rather large red block of text, probably ten lines at the very least. I have no idea if these are errors or not, but if I can get my hands on that log it might help solving whatever problem is causing this. Whether that's a hardware issue or software I can't say.

MurkyDepths: Did you check the Wiki, the forums, Google?

I can tell you this kernel is working fine on at least my system. Check your drivers, check your logs, etc...

For some reason installing this now kills graphical boot and it’s stuck on a blackscreen with a blinking cursor. Non-graphical boot works fine though. Have you encountered this before? If so, do you know of a way to fix it?

Sorry, I'm like maybe day one on arch so I have little to no idea how AUR works properly. Though I'm learning, it doesn't stop me from being stupid.

The answer to that question is always "When it's done."

Also, seeing as this PKGBUILD is on 4.18.4 right now tells you something about your question...

Is the patch available to 4.18.*? If it isn't, how long do you think it'll be until it's updated?

jugs: Usually that's the case, but this time I'm just being slow.

jugs commented on 2018-08-25 00:12 (UTC)

Does the patch not work on 4.18?

codekoala commented on 2018-08-13 16:30 (UTC)

Looks like recompiling this package did the trick for me.
