Adding

scripts/config --disable CONFIG_IMA_ARCH_POLICY

to myconfig does solve the "Failed to insert module 'nvidia': Key was rejected by service" problem.

Anyone who configured secure boot using sbctl and want to load dkms modules can try this solution.

This package have several variables to enable/disable features.

##
## The following variables can be customized at build time. Use env or export to change at your wish
##
##   Example: env _microarchitecture=98 use_numa=n use_tracers=n makepkg -sc
##
## Look inside 'choose-gcc-optimization.sh' to choose your microarchitecture
## Valid numbers between: 0 to 99
## Default is: 0 => generic
## Good option if your package is for one machine: 98 (Intel native) or 99 (AMD native)
if [ -z ${_microarchitecture+x} ]; then
  _microarchitecture=0
fi

## Disable NUMA since most users do not have multiple processors. Breaks CUDA/NvEnc.
## Archlinux and Xanmod enable it by default.
## Set variable "use_numa" to: n to disable (possibly increase performance)
##                             y to enable  (stock default)
if [ -z ${use_numa+x} ]; then
  use_numa=y
fi

## Since upstream disabled CONFIG_STACK_TRACER (limits debugging and analyzing of the kernel)
## you can enable them setting this option. Caution, because they have an impact in performance.
## Stock Archlinux has this enabled. 
## Set variable "use_tracers" to: n to disable (possibly increase performance, XanMod default)
##                                y to enable  (Archlinux default)
if [ -z ${use_tracers+x} ]; then
  use_tracers=n
fi

# Unique compiler supported upstream is GCC
## Choose between GCC and CLANG config (default is GCC)
## Use the environment variable "_compiler=clang"
if [ "${_compiler}" = "clang" ]; then
  _compiler_flags="CC=clang HOSTCC=clang LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1"
fi

# Choose between the 4 main configs for stable branch. Default x86-64-v1 which use CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU2:
# Possible values: config_x86-64-v1 (default) / config_x86-64-v2 / config_x86-64-v3 / config_x86-64-v4
# This will be overwritten by selecting any option in microarchitecture script
# Source files: https://github.com/xanmod/linux/tree/5.17/CONFIGS/xanmod/gcc
if [ -z ${_config+x} ]; then
  _config=config_x86-64-v1
fi

# Compress modules with ZSTD (to save disk space)
if [ -z ${_compress_modules+x} ]; then
  _compress_modules=n
fi

# Compile ONLY used modules to VASTLY reduce the number of modules built
# and the build time.
#
# To keep track of which modules are needed for your specific system/hardware,
# give module_db script a try: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/modprobed-db
# This PKGBUILD read the database kept if it exists
#
# More at this wiki page ---> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Modprobed-db
if [ -z ${_localmodcfg} ]; then
  _localmodcfg=n
fi

# Tweak kernel options prior to a build via nconfig
if [ -z ${_makenconfig} ]; then
  _makenconfig=n
fi

Personally I'm running now xanmod kernel compiled with this:

env _microarchitecture=98 use_tracers=n use_numa=n _localmodcfg=y _compress_modules=y makepkg -sic

Also, you can now create the file myconfig in your local repo to build this package with a custom config or use ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/linux-xanmod/myconfig. This file can be a full kernel config or be a script with several entries to add/remove options (you have several examples in PKGBUILD by using scripts/config):

Code involved:

  for _myconfig in "${SRCDEST}/myconfig" "${HOME}/.config/linux-xanmod/myconfig" "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/linux-xanmod/myconfig" ; do
    if [ -f "${_myconfig}" ] && [ "$(wc -l <"${_myconfig}")" -gt "0" ]; then
      if grep -q 'scripts/config' "${_myconfig}"; then
        # myconfig is a partial file. Executing as a script
        msg2 "Applying myconfig..."
        bash -x "${_myconfig}"
      else
        # myconfig is a full config file. Replacing default .config
        msg2 "Using user CUSTOM config..."
        cp -f "${_myconfig}" .config
      fi
      echo
      break
    fi
  done

@sinsworn You can manually import the keys, I found I had to specify a keyserver with the following:

gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys ABAF11C65A2970B130ABE3C479BE3E4300411886

gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 647F28654894E3BD457199BE38DBBDC86092693E

Which fixed the import issue for me.

right, i might be the idiot here but when i try to install this fine package i get: ==> PGP keys need importing: -> ABAF11C65A2970B130ABE3C479BE3E4300411886, required by: linux-xanmod -> 647F28654894E3BD457199BE38DBBDC86092693E, required by: linux-xanmod ==> Import? [Y/n] :: Importing keys with gpg... gpg: keyserver receive failed: General error problem importing keys

please give me a hand....

Anybody here is the owner of this channel in Telegram?

@ahuston-0 don't worry about that... It means that a module is already included in kernel image

For anyone who's having issues with compiling the kernel due to this bug:

cp: cannot stat '(builtin)': No such file or directory

There's a potential fix in #65725 [https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/65725]. For now it looks like you can install mkinitcpio-28 from the testing repo and it should allow you to compile linux-xanmod and linux-clear at the very least (those are the ones tested so far that I'm aware of).

@romulasry zstd compression is already included to xanmod kernel. You can activate by default setting CONFIG_KERNEL_ZSTD in build time.

You can use myscript file, just create that file and add:

scripts/config --enable CONFIG_KERNEL_ZSTD
scripts/config --disable CONFIG_KERNEL_LZ4

I haven't tested, but should do the trick.

You want to make a zstd version or add it to this, here are the patches: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xanmod/files/patches/linux-5.7.y-xanmod/kernel_zstd/

@atxnor try the package nvidia-beta-all. i can confirm that that one properly work on both a gtx 960 and on the RTX 2060 KO and provides nvidia=440.82 and nvidia-beta=440.82. hope that help's.

can't build NVIDIA prop driver 440.82 with xanmod-5.7

@francois072 I have VirtualBox host on my computer, and modules build fine:
