Ok. Thanks! Will give it a try.

@Tech1 First, note that if you're going to use this package and not the nvidia-340xx-lts package, then you'll need to use the resulting -dkms package, and will also need to have the linux-lts-headers system package installed. For the error, upgrade your GCC package. The kernel's been built by a different GCC version. Run pacman -Syyu, then try and build the package again.

Appreciate your hard work in producing these packages. I have extremely slow performance with my older NVIDIA card - GeForce 8200M G. Have great hopes that this might really speed things up!

Unfortunately I got an error during the makepkg for nvidia-340xx 340.108-7

This is the error message:

I am using the most current linux-lts kernel (just released yesterday 5/28).

uname -a

Linux hplaptop 5.4.43-1-lts #1 SMP Wed, 27 May 2020 23:42:34 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I successfully installed these:

nvidia-340xx-utils (a dependency to building nvidia-340xx)

linux-headers Version 5.6.15.arch1-1 (Required dependency for the makepkg of nvidia- 340xx)

I noticed there were AUR builds for nvidia-340xx-lts and nvidia-340xx-lts-dkms and others with 'lts' included in the package name. Would any of these be useful here? In the comments I noticed references to broken builds and waiting on patches for nvidia-340xx-lts 340.108-2.

Another thought was the linux-headers. Wondering if version 5.6.15 might be too new.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

@osvxos Problem solved! The directory that contains 'nvidia-340xx' has blank space, this explains why the directory looks funny. Solved by renaming directories such that they don't contain blank space. Thank you!

@laggykiller - How are you building the package? (makepkg/chroot/aur helper) According to the logs you provided, you seem to be building in the "nvidia-340xx" directory inside your home directory, but this line

make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'Nvidia/nvidia-340xx/src/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.108-no-compat32/kernel'.  Stop.

indicates that there is a "Nvidia" directory preceding "nvidia-340xx". The error is because the Makefile in the kernel sources cannot switch back to 'Nvidia/nvidia-340xx/src/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.108-no-compat32/kernel' because it is a relative directory. It should be something like '/home/user/nvidia-340xx/src/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.108-no-compat32/kernel'.

Also, not sure if related, but installing driver from nvidia (https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/156163/en-us) does not work in linux kernel 5.6.3.arch1-1 as well. The driver installed and ran without any problem in linux kernel 5.5.13-arch2-1. Here is the log file from /var/log/nvidia-installer.log https://pastebin.com/QUt1bXPL

@laggykiller - Builds well here. What is the error?

Does not work on linux 5.6.3.arch1-1 kernel even with the latest patch provided.

@osvcos - Thanks for the patch!

@VijayPleo - Place the patch in the same directory than the PKGBUILD. Then with a text editor edit the PKGBUILD source array:

source=("https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/${pkgver}/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-${pkgver}-no-compat32.run"
  01-fix_multi_core_build.patch
  02-unfuck-for-340.108-build-fix.patch
  03-unfuck-for-5.5.x.patch
  04-fix_message_in_dmesg.patch
  kernel-5.6.patch
)

and then in the sha256sum array:

sha256sums=('995d44fef587ff5284497a47a95d71adbee0c13020d615e940ac928f180f5b77'
            '82d14e9e6ec47c345d225d9f398238b7254cd5ae581c70e8521b9157ec747890'
            '2b7e3ef24846a40f4492e749be946e4f7f70ebed054bc2c9079f6cbdcbfabe57'

            'SKIP')

then save the file and run makepkg
