@Anakievs Yes, but who knows how long will this option be accessible.

@TheExplorer I can launch it with GSK_RENDERER=cairo pavucontrol. There is also https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/pavucontrol-qt which I haven't tried.

@TheExplorer That is sad. Nonetheless, for some, it'll be still possible to use the Nouveau driver. On my machine, it works (not as well as the proprietary driver, but still).

TheExplorer commented on 2024-06-02 11:01 (UTC)

Sad news: more and more apps are migrating (like pavucontrol, for example) from GTK3 to GTK4 which is incompatible with nvidia-340. As I understand, GTK4 removed support for GLX. I guess it's inevitable that we would stop using nvidia-340 drivers. It'll be simply impossible :(

I have this running now on kernel 6.9.1. I get the nasty message in dmesg below but things still seem to work. The real problem I am struggling with now though is that neither sddm nor lightdm are working. I get a very brief flicker when the display would normally switch to X11 but that is it. However I can open another tty and do

$ startx /usr/bin/startplasma-x11

and that works fine. This all happened after a full system upgrade, and I've tried going back to kernel 6.6 and have the same problem. Any ideas anyone?

Strangely enough, gdm works but it is slow to start up.

After addition of 0017-gcc-14.patch the driver successfully compiles and works. Thanks for your support.

When building it fails with the following error.
<...>/nvidia-340xx/src/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.108-no-compat32/kernel/nv->linux.h:326:2: error: #error "NV_PCI_DMA_MAPPING_ERROR() undefined!"
 326 | #error "NV_PCI_DMA_MAPPING_ERROR() undefined!"
What can be the reason of this? How the problem can be tackled?

linux-lts 6.6.30; gcc 14.1.1+r1+g43b730b9134

same here

MegaDeKay commented on 2024-05-10 13:57 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification @Anakievs

Nebulosa commented on 2024-05-09 10:16 (UTC) (edited on 2024-05-09 18:13 (UTC) by Nebulosa)

Does not compile on gcc v14.

You should downgrade:

gcc 14.1.1+r1+g43b730b9134-1 -> 13.2.1-6

gcc-libs 14.1.1+r1+g43b730b9134-1 -> 13.2.1-6

AND

linux 6.8.9.arch1-2 -> 6.8.9.arch1-1

linux-headers 6.8.9.arch1-2 -> 6.8.9.arch1-1

Edit: may be this could help: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=295600
