Arch Linux User Repository

The way it runs for me,

paru -R nvidia-340xx-lts (or any other aur-package manager) and then paru -S nvidia-340xx-lts

Hope this helps

Strange but my Xserver doesn't start with the new 6.12 kernel, though the module was compiled without issues. Here's the tail of my Xorg.log: (downgrading to the previous LTS 6.6.72 kernel works OK)

Thank you very much, incredible quick reaction

Can´t compile against lts-kernel 6.12.12-1, sorry but I couldn´t see or interpret the messages, perhaps wrong gcc after last updating the lts system

Today I tried to run a transcoder program called HandBrake which has GTK4 as a dependency. It didn't start giving me the only message in the console: "Aborted".

This driver is no more compatible with the new GTK4 (GTK4 removed support for GLX).

The issue and the thread to read is here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/5858

We are actually doomed. Or, we can hold the needed packages. Well, until the system simply doesn't update anymore because of held packages.

Working with gcc 14.2.1 and kernel 6.6.49-1-lts (Garuda Linux) Thanks!!!

Guys, I have a local problem with an older kernel and a newer gcc. The thing is that I need to somehow disable the GCC version check in order to avoid the fail:

warning: the compiler differs from the one used to build the kernel
  The kernel was built by: gcc (GCC) 14.1.1 20240522
  You are using:           gcc (GCC) 14.2.1 20240805

Is it somehow possible?

UPDATE: Already figured it out. You have to issue export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1 in the console before compiling the package. Though I haven't figured out how to make dkms work, probably make it system-wide, like in /etc/environment.

Working with gcc 14.1.1 and kernels 6.6.30 and 5.15.158 (Artix Linux on another machine).

Working, use yay

nvidia-340xx-lts-dkms from AUR at Artix

lts-kernel 6.6.30-2-lts
gcc 13.2.1
